     | 54,177 views

    The Passover was the first and most important feast day of the Jewish people... but it was only the first feast day of "The Feast of Unleavened Bread". There was a reason for that. Do you know what it was?

    THE SCENE: Israel had been in slavery in Egypt for years. In answer to the prayers of the Israelite people, God sent Moses to Pharaoh with this command: “Let my people go!” But of course Pharaoh wouldn’t listen and so God brought 10 terrible plagues upon Egypt and Pharaoh to convince them that it ...read more

    Jesus Is Way Cool

    Contributed by Scott Berry on Aug 13, 2009
    based on 15 ratings
     | 6,521 views

    This is a list of reasons why Jesus is cool aimed to inspire people to start following him and to be unashamed in that; because he’s much cooler than you’ll ever be.

    Jesus is way cool! As I was growing up I was taught about Jesus and was told that he was holy, perfect, pure, gentle, loving, NICE, etc.. But then one day I got revelation of God from a band called King Missile with their song "Jesus was way cool" and I realised that he was more than perfect ...read more

    Palm Sunday: As we contemplate the joyous reception that Jesus got as He entered Jerusalem, our thoughts go to the reason that He entered in the first place - to save us by dying on the Cross.

    In the old days – days long before Jesus was born, God’s people annually observed a festival known as the Feast of Tabernacles. This was a feast of great joy. It was a time of celebration. It lasted seven days. Part of what happened during this feast is that the people marched around the Altar ...read more

    This sermon examines the need for Revival in our churches and in our nation, and also gives a possible reason why we (The United States)have not experienced a nationwide Revival for over a century.

    Introduction: Have you ever gone out to eat at a fancy restaurant, and even though your food looked and smelled great, it didn’t satisfy you?

    There are specific reasons Christ opened the door of opportunity for the church at Philadelphia. Christ also gives promises to churches, though they be of a little strength, who respond in faith by going through the door of opportunity.

    Revelation 3:7-13 THE FAITHFUL CHURCH [1 Corinthians 16:9 ] The church at Philadelphia was a church that was worthy of praise. Christ hands out their praise liberally. Jesus did not wait for their work to be perfect or for their character to be ...read more

     | 14,521 views

    If we could have just one Christmas wish, It would be reasonable to wish for THE PEACE, JOY AND HAPPINESS, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND ETERNAL LIFE that can only be found in through the Christ of Christmas.

    What Is Your Christmas Wish? Luke 2:9-17 "And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

    In John Ortberg’s, Love Beyond Reason, he refers to our questioning the journey and missing out on the trip. We’d do better if we let "Jesus Take the Wheel."

    Two reasons, "For the wages of sin is death..." Death brings tears. "The gift of God is eternal life." Faith in Christ brings hope. Unbelief brings even greater tears!

    Title: “Why Jesus Wept?” Introduction: When Jesus was told that Lazarus was sick, the disciples did not want Jesus to go to Jerusalem. The text would suggest three reasons they could have used to try to talk Jesus out of making this trip. These same three reasons are excuses people use for not ...read more

    Many lessons can be learned from Paul’s shipwreck experience, Life can be full of heartache, disappointment, and grief; but we still have abundant reason to "BE OF GOOD CHEER."

    There is nothing righteous about a gloomy, despondent, pessimistic attitude in a believer. In fact, these things are the opposite of righteousness. Those who honor God the most are those who walk before Him with a cheerful heart, full of joy, believing His precious word and rejoicing in His ...read more

     | 12,452 views

    Paul’s first missionary journey is a model for our own missionary endeavours in the modern world. God continues to call us to preach the gospel for thesame reasons as he did Paul.

    Why do Mission? One of the questions often asked by Christians over the last 30 or so years has been the question, "Why should we still be sending people out to preach the gospel to other nations and cultures?" Sometimes the question is asked in a slightly more negative way: e.g. "Do we have ...read more
