    Jaw-Dropping Faith

    Contributed by John Gaston on May 23, 2019
     | 9,087 views

     | 11,175 views

    The resurrection of Christ was not the type of event that you celebrate once, but doesn’t change your life. It demands a change in your life. The Resurrection of Christ validates everything the Gospel claims about Christ, and it verifies everything Christ requires of us.

    TITLE: SON RISE SERVICE SCRIPTURE: ST. MARK 16:1-8 Imagine the most important thing that could possibly happen to you in your life happens, but afterward, nothing changes. • You graduate from college, but instead of going out and securing a job, you just go home and continue to live with Mom ...read more

    At times, we all feel like we are misunderstood. And many times it is not a feeling, it is a reality.

    For example, sometimes our dogs misunderstand some things about us. Someone suggested these are some of the misunderstandings our pet dogs have... • Getting up does NOT mean we are going for a walk • Just because I'm eating, doesn't mean you can But not only do we have misunderstandings ...read more

    What was finished? What was this mission that was now finished? Why did Jesus come? Let's look at how Jesus defined his mission -- and later, how his apostles understood it.

    It is Finished! John 19:30 John 19:28-30 reads, "After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, to fulfill the Scripture, said, 'I am thirsty.' A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop, ...read more

     | 3,132 views

    Psalm 85:10 is a tiny verse found almost directly in the middle of the Bible. This verse holds the key to a holy life and it tells us how to find it in a most poetic way.

    “And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends.” Our own deliverance may hinge on how we pray for others. This is a rewrite of Charles Spurgeon's great message.
