    Nicodemus comes to Jesus at night. He discovers that his broken religious system cannot save him. Jesus tells him he must be born again (born from above - born by God). He explains to him to Look to Jesus and Live!

    “Look to Jesus and Live” John 3:1-17 “Religion can be boring. You don’t have to do any research to prove the point. Just compare the crowd at church with the crowds that attend baseball or football games. Apparently there is no excitement at church that compares with ...read more

    Powerful Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jun 19, 2021
     | 3,985 views

    Now … you want to talk about REAL power? You want to talk about power beyond our ability to imagine it? Beyond our ability to measure it or record it? If you want to talk about “real” power, you need to talk about the Source … the omnipotent … all powerful … all mighty … El Shaddai!

    You want to talk about power? In August of 1883, a volcano erupted on the Island of Krakatoa. The initial blast sent a cloud of gas and debris 15 miles into the atmosphere. On the morning of August 27th, four tremendous explosions were heard 3,000 miles away. That would be like us hearing Mount ...read more

I read about an exclusive school in Hollywood that was attended by children of movie stars, producers, and directors. a. One day, the children were asked to write a composition on ...read more

    Whether it is two young Mormons who knock on your door or you decide to read the Qur’an for yourself, searching for the real answers in life is very different than most of our life’s pursuits.

    When the crowds were increasing, he began to say, “This generation is an evil generation. It seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.

    The day will come when all the graveyards and all the cemeteries in the world will be emptied out. They will give up their dead, who will live again. And those who have believed in Christ will live forever with him.

    The apostle John records seven miracles (or signs) from Jesus’s public ministry. Today we come to the seventh sign, and it is without question the greatest sign.
