    Jesus reveals a parable of the Ten Virgins - each having their own lamp, but only five had oil in their lamps. When the call sounded to meet the Bridegroom, only five were ready. We must have oil in our lamps when the call is sounded to meet the Lord.

    Behold, the Bridegroom Cometh Matthew 25: 1-13 We have read another of Jesus’ parables. Parables were used of our Lord to communicate a heavenly truth through an earthly illustration. This parable was given to the people of Israel, but there is application and instruction for each of us. In ...read more

    Why Did Jesus Die? Series

     | 5,677 views

    Since we need to talk about the Passion film with our friends, we have to be prepared to answer their questions. It’s a mystery to non-believers: Why did Christ have to suffer so? Why did He have to die?

    Sarcastic reviews. Late night jokes. Hateful criticism. Promises to ban him from work in Hollywood. Mel Gibson has faced all that and more over the last year. All because of the making of The Passion of the Christ. Why all the controversy? The brutality? R-rated slasher movies come out ...read more

    the 38th installment from our series on the Gospel of John. Here we look at the Greeks who came to see Jesus and how this is a turning point in John's Gospel, as the Lord prepares to give His life for the sin of man.

    We would See Jesus (John Part 38) Text: John 12:20-26 We’re continuing on with John’s Gospel this morning, so if you have your Bibles, go ahead and open them up to John 12.

    The Ascension is an important part of the ministry of Jesus. He came to save our sins and He will come again when we least expect it. Be ready!

    While Mary sat at Jesus feet, “Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made.”

    August 19, 2023 Jesus, Martha, Mary and Lazarus, were close friends – the best of friends, really – and Martha’s home was a place of refuge for Jesus. It was a place where he and his disciples could rest and relax. Luke tells us that one day, while on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus popped in for ...read more

    If we don’t live the Gospel, how will people believe that Christ also lives? People must see that we are real, before they will believe that Jesus is.

    I expect most of you know by now that we have a homegrown preacher next week. Our newest deacon, Drew Johnson, is going to be my sub on December 26 while I’m off basking in sunny Minneapolis. He’s been up here before, of course: many of you remember when he was a shepherd in our Christmas pageant a ...read more

    57th in a series from Ephesians. When we become a follower of Jesus, we enlist in a spiritual war so we need to be prepared for the battle.

    When we began our journey through the Book of Ephesians about a year and a half ago, I described Paul’s letter as our basic training manual. I also observed that since we are in a spiritual battle, we all need to be prepared for that battle by going though the spiritual basic training that is ...read more

    Jesus teaches us about peace, a perfect place he has prepared for us, and promises he will return so that we spend eternity with him.

    Text: “Let not your heart be troubled…” (John 14:1). What kind of life do you think Jesus wants us to live? Does He want us to be worried and uptight? Does He want us to dwell on things that will probably never come about? Does He want us to waste our time feeling sorry for ourselves? Does He ...read more
