    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,490 views

    This message addresses common reasons unbelievers give of why they will not trust Christ. It also explores the difference between a "good reason" and an "excuse," and we find that most of these "good reasons" non-believers give are just "excuses."

    I am well aware that one of the problems people have with speakers like me is that they often wonder if they are actually real human beings. I once read of a little girl who was taken to church for the first time ever. The child was struck by the solemness of the occasion. And after several moments ...read more

    WHAT WAS THE REAL REASON FOR PALM SUNDAY? AND THE DONKEY’S SPECIAL PART! A PALM SUNDAY MESSAGE Welcome again to all of you and we have a message today that shares some wonderful passages of scripture for this event known as Palm Sunday.

    This was a creative way we presented the Easter Story. We looked at the ways that Easter Jesus is better than Christmas Jesus and then decorated the auditorium half as Easter and half as Christmas. It worked very well.This post is Part Two of Top Ten Reasons.

    As David questioned the lack of bravery among the Israelites, he posed the question: Is there not a reason to stand up? This question is still pertinent today. There is indeed a reason, and we must be prepared to stand up for it.

    In the story of David and Goliath, we often focus on the miraculous defeat of the giant. However, today we will examine the events leading up to this confrontation and the question David posed to his brother: Is there not a cause? This question remains relevant today, as we face challenges to our ...read more
