Signs Of Christ's Coming Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Aug 20, 2021

Man Born Blind Healed; Following Consequences Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 11, 2017

The enemies of the Lord Jesus could not see because they were spiritually blind. The blind man also could not see, even when the Light of the World stood before him, but Jesus is going to reveal Himself to him. Before the blind man can see, he must ...

Ransom - Mark 10:45 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jan 28, 2024

In the entire book of Mark, only one word reveals the reason for Jesus’ death: ransom.

Mark 10:41 When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. 42 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever ...read more

His Gift To The Guilty

Contributed by Mike Hays on Sep 9, 2001

What the blood of animals shed in the Temple could never do, God has done for His people through the sacrifice of His Son on our behalf. Receive the perfect sacrifice that sets us free and cleanses us before His presence.

His Gift To The Guilty Hebrews 10:1-18 Guilt is an interesting word. It is the opposite of innocence and according to the Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary it means, "the fact of having committed a breach of conduct especially violating law and involving a penalty; the state of one who has ...read more

Behold The Man (1) Series

Contributed by Perry Greene on Oct 8, 2015

This sermon is a focus on Jesus as Pilate and others saw him -- a failure. The irony is, his "defeat" was actually his key to victory.

1. Jesus, a Wanted Man "If Jesus had of entered into one of our modern cities, leading a parade, as the "triumphal entry into Jerusalem, He would have been arrested immediately. He would be a wanted man." * The FDA would want Him for turning water into wine without a license; * The EPA for killing ...read more

Jesus On Trial

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 25, 2021

Jesus stepped into a maelstrom and was brought before a court that was losing some of its power and was uncertain about its future given Rome’s growing power and the increasing fear and rising tension amongst the Jewish people.

I love the Gospel of Mark … well, I love all the gospels … but Mark reminds me of Joe Friday from the 1950s TV series “Dragnet.” Some of us older folks remember Sargent Friday’s famous signature line: “Just the facts.” Mark’s gospel is terse and to the point. He gives us “just the facts” and ...read more

Why Jesus Had To Suffer Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 1, 2024

For Jesus to be the “the Lamb of God” meant the Messiah HAD TO suffer. Yet, to think that the Messiah would suffer was as preposterous as thinking you could swim across the Atlantic.

Our series is devoted to enabling you to place your faith in the Lord Jesus. I invite you to find John 1 with me. Remember, John’s gospel was written in order that you would believe in Jesus Christ. That you would trust in Jesus. The word “believe” appears more than seventy times throughout the ...read more

Big Life Little Life - Mark 15:1-15 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on May 22, 2024

What is it about the natural human heart that prefers someone like Barabbas to Jesus? If we don’t know the answer to that question, we’ll miss one of the most important messages of the whole book of Mark. And when it comes to a choice, we’ll make the wrong decision too.

Mark 15:1 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, reached a decision. They bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate. 2 "Are you the king of the Jews?" asked Pilate. "Yes, it is as you say," ...read more

We Have No King But Caesar

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 20, 2018

The passion narrative of Jesus, His last 2 weeks is full of detail with theology mixed up with history and politics - indeed a third of each gospel is devoted to the passion of Jesus. Every time you read or hear the account something new hits you.

We have no king but Caesar John 19:15 Today is Passion Sunday, the 1st day of a period of 2 weeks when we focus our thoughts on the arrest, trial, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. As we know this is a very significant period in the life of Jesus, the climax of His ministry which ...read more
