    Christ Is Risen!

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Apr 1, 2021
     | 3,584 views

    Why don't people say "Christ is Risen" on Easter anymore? There is more concern about their Easter parties than on Jesus' resurrection. We cannot allow society to steal Easter from the church like it did with Christmas.

    Easter Sunday 2021 Christ is Risen! Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz (Romans 6:4) It was not that long ago. I remember joining my young family for Easter worship, and I heard people greeting each other in an unfamiliar way. I thought that on Easter, you would greet someone by saying "Happy ...read more

    There are so many different barriers that can separate us from each other. As believers, we should be one in Christ which should also help us break down some of the barriers that separate.

    Introduction- Isn’t God good? We as believers in America have opportunity to gather in a place of worship and lift up the name of Jesus without someone busting down the door- At least today. We have a God who not only wants to save us, but a God who wants to deliver us, protect us, dwell with us. ...read more

    Jesus Christ fought many battles for us and He still does today. What sacrifice would you make to show your appreciation and dedication to living the life He would have us live?

    This past week, as I often do, I watched a couple of movies portraying the Life of Christ. It doesn’t seem to matter how many times I watch these; I always get something from them. Something that touches my heart and reminds me of whom I belong to. Yesterday, I happened to find a clip from “The ...read more

    500 years ago the church was adding to the meaning of salvation. In this message we see exactly what it takes to know God. The answer is Christ Alone.

    Living as Christ's followers in a world starving for love and compassion.

    Jesus came into this earthly domain, ruled by the powers of darkness, and offered to all who were willing to receive - the benefits of His world.

    Religion does not create a relationship with God, nor does ritual. It is refinement born of repentance that shapes that relationship. Repent, relate, and receive.

    Following Jesus means trusting God’s timing, standing firm amid misunderstanding and opposition, and finding courage to remain faithful despite pressure from others.

     | 21,196 views

    God did not create man for defeat...sin brought that. But the Bible tells us how we may triumph over sin, self, and Satan through Jesus Christ.

    TRIUMPH IN CHRIST II Cor. 2:14 INTRO. Notice carefully, the first part of our text. The human race was never meant for defeat. God’s intention in creating man was that man should be master over all creation. (Gen. 1:26) -- "And God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: ...read more
