    "Friday Tragedy? Easter Triumph!”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Mar 31, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,703 views

    If the body of Jesus had decayed into dust within the borrowed tomb, we would not be singing the songs of Easter. They thought It was a tragic end to the “One” who had raised the dead. Tears told the sadness in their hearts. Resurrection shatters the grip of fear.

    Jesus Transforms Lives Series

    Contributed by Brett Crosson on Jun 17, 2019
     | 5,863 views

    Perhaps the greatest thing about Christianity and the kingdom of God is that Jesus changes lives. He changes us into new creatures and makes us citizens of heaven. And he can do this with any person.

    Jesus transforms lives Luke 19 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. 2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He was a chief among tax collectors He would thus be very important to the Romans, and very much despised by the ...read more

    Is Jeus God? The New Testament Answer Series

    Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Nov 19, 2018
     | 5,373 views

    Shows how the deity of Jesus is taught from the words of Jesus himself; from New Testament texts; from the way Jesus is called "Lord" and by the spirit of worship that is the heart and soul of the New Testament.

    IS JESUS GOD? THE NEW TESTAMENT ANSWER “The Word was God and the word was with God / and the Word became flesh (a human being) and lived among us for awhile.” You could look at me on a revolving pedestal and know a little about me, gender, age, weight, nationality; but you would not know me, ...read more

    Relying On God's Love Series

    Contributed by Terry Denis on Feb 26, 2019
     | 7,597 views

    Apostle John reiterates his call for Christians to love one another. Somehow, this is difficult to do but John reminded us to rely on God's love and not our selfish love. Our selfish love discriminates and is subjective but the love of God is pure and unconditional.

    Relying on God’s Love 1 John 4:13-21 Introduction Apostle John is often called the “apostle of love” because he spoke about the subject on love more than the other New Testament writers. The manner of John’s discourse seems to tell us that the believers did not understand the true message of ...read more

    Easter. The Resurrection of Jesus divides the believer from the non believer. The physical resurrection of Jesus shatters the grip of the fear of death. (Heb. 2:14) One can not separate the facts of the cross from the empty tomb. "The Theography" Sweet

    "Simeon’s Story Is Our Story”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Dec 23, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,272 views

    One of my favorite characters of the Christmas story is Simeon. He heard the "voice of Jesus" by the Holy Spirit. When you hear the Spirit give you a direction, you are hearing the voice of Jesus. The scriptures can also be "a voice of Jesus" (Jesus Speaks Leonard Sweet)

    Most scholars believe Matthew was written between 70 and 85 A.D. (C.E.) He combines the 7 parables to explain the reality of why "good" exists along side of "evil". (movie Sound of Freedom) an example. Why are believers even in the church failing?

     | 701 views

    With names in mind, nicknames or surnames, can you name all the nicknames or surnames given to Jesus? We identify him as Jesus Christ. Let us notice a few.

    It stands to reason there are too many people in the world for the number of names available. Some people create new names but the total number does not come near the population. To correctly identify a person in conversation a surname is given. A surname is a last name. This becomes understandable ...read more

    5th of 5 messages in Hebrews (section 4). This message speaks of the importance of praising God
