    Contributed by Jim Butcher on May 4, 2022
     | 1,590 views

    The arrest of Jesus puts a spotlight on the "Gospel of Might" versus the "Gospel of Jesus." What are the differences? And how does the backward stumbling that's described there sum it all up?

Jesus has a betrayer with inside information. - John 18:2. b. Jesus is in an enclosed area. - John 18:1. - It’s an olive grove and they went “into it,” so ...read more

    How easy is it for a cripple to get up on his own? How easy is it to love our enemies? How easy is to forgive someone who hurt us deeply? Jesus commands us to do all this.

    This morning we visit a place called Bethesda. An invalid, crippled, lying on the ground waiting for the miraculous. Jesus says "Do you want to get well?" Some people do not want to get better, they like the attention they get, or possibly the thought of doing anything different scares them. ...read more

    This was an illustrated sermon. I was dressed as surgeon and had a table with a white sheet over it to represent an operating table. At the close I had members come up and leave their various issues and leave them on the operating table.

    STAY UNDER THE KNIFE HEBREWS 4:12-13 (The Message) God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey. Nothing and no one is impervious to God’s Word. We can’t get ...read more

    August 1989: If we want to be lifted up out of our unhappiness through worship, we must bring our whole selves to the worship experience and must pray passionately even our negative wishes.

    I recently became aware that some folks shop for a church much as you would shop for a car or a home appliance. In talking with some people about joining our church, they said that they were shopping – that’s their word, not mine -- that they were shopping for a church by systematically attending ...read more

    As potent as humans are, our potency is quite limited. There are challenges in our lives that we are impotent to handle, we must recognize this, and instead of give up, just learn to let go and let God.

    Casting Your Cares On The Lord Zechariah 4:6 "Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” Every now and then we all come under pressure – the pressure of ...read more

    Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind.

    Esther finds herself in a beauty contest she didn't sign up for. In life we find ourselves in competitions that seem unfair. Discover how God guided Esther through this situation.

    We've been in Esther for the past two weeks, we've been in chapter 1, and what we found out is there is King Ahasuerus, but most of us know him as Xerxes, his Greek name. He's been throwing just one big party for six months; he's just been having a great time, living it up. He ...read more

     | 5,015 views

    Believers often get caught up in self-service instead of true service, being focused on seats of power. Jesus demonstrated a powerful act of servanthood that would stand as a reminder concerning genuine kingdom service.

    There once arose a dispute among the disciples, as to which of them should be considered the greatest (Luke 22:24). Jesus told them, “He who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves. For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is ...read more

     | 2,891 views

    In praying for his Christian family in Ephesus, the apostle Paul ends up in a beautiful strain of exaltation of the Lord Jesus Christ. Often praying for others can be what lifts our eyes to the glories and power of Jesus.

    What’s the greatest thing about your life? For the Christian, the best thing is that Christ has first place in your life. Our text here in Ephesians is a celebratory prayer for the full salvation of the believer. It’s all done by Christ and for Christ. When Christ is exalted in the life of the ...read more

    Study #11: This study examines the Millennial Reign. Satan is bound and believers reign with Christ for 1000 years. Afterward, the devil is released and rises up against the saints in one final deception and rebellion before the Judgment.

    NOTE: This Bible study on the end times comes from the perspective of a pre-tribulation Rapture. Tonight, we will be looking at Revelation chapter 20. We are going to start by examining what happens during the 1000-year period after the battle of Armageddon, by observing how Satan is bound and ...read more
