    The Feast Of Freedom Series

    150 years Memorial Day was initiated after the Civil War. But Americans have difficulty remembering when this special day began and why its important to our nation. But 3400 years ago, God initiated His own "Memorial Day". Do you know when & why it began?

    I’ve read that Memorial Day was originally begun by former slaves on May, 1, 1865. The ceremony was held in Charleston, SC to honor 257 dead Union Soldiers who had been buried in a mass grave in a Confederate prison camp. The former slaves dug up the bodies and worked for 2 weeks to give ...read more

    When Darkness Triumphed…..for An Hour Series

     | 1,702 views

    There is victory in Jesus. The risen Lord! The hour of darkness has come and gone. The power of God overcame the darkness. He is alive forevermore. Don’t give the defeated enemy victory in your life.

    All of history leads to the cross and everything since follows from the cross. It is the central point in all of time. Yet the cross is a low point in human history. It is the time that God’s anointed was executed. In the timeline of history, the cross is the major event. One of Jesus’ disciples ...read more

    Once again here we are gathered on this glorious Easter morning to celebrate. But this is not just a meal of remembrance and celebration of a one-time event as is the Passover of old.

    This morning. We come together to celebrate Easter. We believe in and celebrate the empty tomb – the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. However, His resurrection, this most wonderous of all miracles, and all these worship services would mean nothing for us without the reason of the resurrection. ...read more

    Jesus was not afraid to reach out to the "outcasts" of His society. When He did, important truths were revealed that we need to know.

    "When Jesus Interrupts the Outcast" Luke 5:27-32 INTRODUCTION Have you ever felt like an outcast? Some people are rejected by people because of their race, color, or background. Some are rejected for their beliefs. Some rejected because of behavior. You can be poor or rich, powerless or ...read more

    Jesus is telling all that He is about to fulfill the prophecy of Ezekiel.

    Saturday of the Fourth Week in Lent 2024 So what words were those that convinced a number of Christ’s listeners that He was (and is) the prophet foretold by Moses and so many other of the early prophets?

    Living Sacrifices

    based on 61 ratings
     | 9,922 views

    This is the 6th sermon in a series on Paul’s letter to the Romans. The problem with living sacrifices is they keep getting down off the altar.

    “living sacrifices” Now that’s an interesting turn of phrase. It sounds like an oxymoron. Living and sacrifice don’t really seem like they go together, do they? When I think of the word ‘sacrifice’, certain images come to mind. I think of a play made in baseball, where one player is tagged out ...read more
