    Jesus Christ: Our Divine Teacher, Part 1

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 30, 2021
     | 1,385 views

    John 3 introduces us to Nicodemus, a religious man who seemed sincere in wanting to know more about Jesus. He received the greatest lesson in that a real relationship with God is made possible only by the finished work of Christ on the cross and His resurrection.

    The third chapter of John's Gospel gives us a portrait of the Lord Jesus as the Divine Teacher. He has already been presented as the Light, The Word of God, the Lamb of God, and the Messiah. Now He gives His attention to teach us how to flee the darkness of this world and come to the Light, ...read more

    Melchizedek appears only briefly in Genesis but plays a critical role in the story of faith. In Melchizedek, we see a symbol of Jesus Christ, who is our ultimate King and eternal High Priest.

    Transformed by Truth: A King and Priest Forever Genesis 14:18-20 (NLT): “And Melchizedek, the king of Salem and a priest of God Most High, brought Abram some bread and wine. Melchizedek blessed Abram with this blessing: ‘Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth. And blessed ...read more

    A brief apology for the Pre-Tribulation Rapture

    Dan 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. This pretty much ends the argument of the Pre-Trib Rapture being a new or recent doctrine. It is more like the seal being slowly broken as ...read more

    If Jesus is who you are looking for? -You won’t find Him at the bottom of a dead drink! -You won’t find Him at top of a dead career! -You won’t find Him at the end of a dead ladder! -You won’t find Him in the beginning of a dead relationship!

    Luke 24:1-6; Acts 1:9-11 Questions that Must be Answered April 17, 2022 The Two Angels appear at the tomb and ask the women, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?” It’s an age-old question that needs an answer from every one of us today! If Jesus is who you are looking for? -You ...read more

    Let’s start at an obvious place for the week after Easter. The baskets are empty, the colored grass has been vacuumed up. Beautiful cards have been put away. Nice clothes are back in the closet. All that is left are a few jelly beans that no one wants to trust. Easter is over … or, is it?

    Our only hope is "The Man on the Middle Cross."

Alistair Begg – “Man on Middle Cross” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQxVRC7wHvU) If God asked why He should let us into heaven, the reason does not begin with “Because I ___.” It begins with “Because HE ____.” Anything else leads to: a.

    The Scriptures tell us, "Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring." (Proverbs 27:1). Too many people in these last days forget that they may not have tomorrow. The time to be prepared to meet God is now.

    All of us at one time have put things off until the last minute, such as the writing of a research paper for school or studying for exams. We put off important decisions at our place of work, or filing tax returns, buying your family Christmas presents on or near Christmas Eve, or asking that ...read more

    For in Christ Jesus, we have countless spiritual blessings! However, many of these blessings go unused. Blessings that are wonderful, but unappreciated by many

    This sermon focuses on Jesus calling the first disciples which served as an invitation to living life in the Kingdom of God, and how that invitation is still available for believers today.

    If you have your Bibles and want to follow along, we will be looking at the gospel of Mark 1:14. If you have been here for a while, you know we are going through a series called The Story. When we talk about the story, we are talking about God’s story as told through the people, places, and ...read more

    The Message And The Messenger

    Corinth was split over leaders because they misunderstood both the message and the messenger. Paul resets the standards in 1 Corinthians 4.

    The Divided Corinthian Church Before we dive into Scripture, I'd first like to provide some context to where we find ourselves as we begin 1 Corinthians 4. My primary goal for anyone reading this is for you to learn God’s Word. So we start with the context of where we’re about to study, chapter ...read more

    Playing with sin will eventually move you out of the will of God.

    Title: Are you committed to following Christ? Have you ever looked at another individual and thought to yourself: ‘that person is going to do great things?’ Why did you think that about them? More than likely it was because you looked at and considered all of the advantages that they had. You ...read more

    Jesus is friend of sinners, and that is a good thing, for each of us is a sinner, and if we are to be like Jesus, we need to befriend sinners also.

    Jesus, Friend of Sinners (Luke 5:27-31; 7:36-50) Series: “Portraits of Christ” – Steve Simala Grant February 16/17, 2002 Before getting into this morning’s sermon, I want to address two things.

    Apart from faith in Christ, we are unable to live a life of righteousness…bringing to fruition the Kingdom of God. Jesus reveals this truth to Nicodemus.

    Introduction: Most of us…especially us men…don’t like to admit it when we can’t accomplish something. This doesn’t apply to everything, but it certainly does apply to some things…especially those things that we believe we can do. Perhaps we have trained our whole lives to do something. Run a ...read more
