The Gates Of Hell Series

Contributed by Andrew Drummond on Apr 17, 2007

A familiar phrase in the church, but what was Jesus trying to say when he said this to Peter? The enemy of our souls is real and he seeks to destroy, but the church has a promise that should bring peace, joy and action...

One of the first things that any foreigner, like myself, should buy when they come to this country is a collection of Aussie terms and phrases.

Who Is This Guy, Anyway?

Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Jun 8, 2003

A different twist on the scripture where Peter declares that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Who did His Workers, the world and the word say He was? Who do WE say He was?

INTRO In this scripture read this morning, Jesus asks a very pointed question: “Who am I?” It is a question that sounds like he has an identity complex. But the same question was asked about him at least 7 times in the Gospels. The question that we want to explore today is this: Who do we say ...read more

Acts 2:36 "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.’’ What an awesome Scripture!
