    Jesus may come to us as a Stranger. Will we recognize Him?

    “Walking with Jesus” Luke 24:13-35 Two of Jesus’ disciples are walking home, down a dusty road, on the afternoon that Jesus rose from the dead.

    The aim of this Sermon is to help you better understand the events that occurred during the last twenty-four hours of Jesus’ life, see more clearly the God Spoken Importance of Christ’s suffering and death, and reflect upon the meaning of these events.

    JESUS IS BELIEVED to have died at the age of 33 after a life of approximately 12,000 days. The Gospel writers devoted most of their work to just 1,100 or so of those days, the last 3 years of his life; and their primary interest was in one particular day—the day he was crucified. This 24-hour ...read more

    Desired By The People Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 4, 2017
     | 5,884 views

    As Jesus' ministry grew in popularity, He often was forced to minister in the outlying areas to accommodate the crowds that gathered. The church needs to capture this passion and desire to be in the presence of the Lord.

    Desired by the People Mark 3: 7-12 The rapid pace we have become accustomed to in Mark’s Gospel continues. Jesus seldom stays in one place for extended periods of time. He is continually on the move, ministering to different people, with varied needs, in different places. Such is the case with ...read more

    A sermon for Confirmation Sunday.

    “Christ’s Joy in You” John 15:1-11 I think Jesus Christ was the most joy-filled human to ever walk the earth. Why do I say this? Think about it, Jesus didn’t worry about His life—what He would eat or drink, or what He would wear. He trusted His Father in heaven. He was able to love—even ...read more

    Jeremiah was known as the weeping prophet. He faced great opposition and at one point blamed God for it. We often do the same. Jeremiah shows us the way out.

    What can we glean from Luke the Evangelist and what can we apply in our lives. Luke was a Consummate Historian. He was also an evangelist to the Gentiles and his tow books reflect that. He was a Physician and a gentle and patient man
