    Contributed by Tim Smith on Sep 29, 2013
     | 11,543 views

    This afternoon I want us to look at the transfiguration through the eyes of the apostle John, & behold what he beheld. So what did John see? As John stood on that mountain & saw the transfiguration of Jesus, what did he see?

    Jesus wept as he rode into Jerusalem, wept for his beloved city, as it says in Luke’s gospel, for he knew the dreams of this day would turn into the reality of pain, death, and suffering.

    Palm Sunday is when we remember Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Can you imagine what it must have been like on that day almost 2000 years ago? Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, may have seemed to those who were there to be the high point of his ministry. All of those people ...read more

    Learning A Lot From Lot

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Oct 26, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 14,793 views

    Lot's life demonstrates where we go when we look at what we like instead of looking up for the Lord's guidance. Loving God is learned through life's challenges more than life's pleasures.

    Lot’s name is mentioned only 4 times in the New Testament. Three times in Luke 17 and once in 2 Peter 2:7. In both places the scriptures are talking about God’s judgment. Here are the places and contexts: Luke 17: 26 And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in ...read more

    I am perplexed by the fact that so many Christians always try to take God, who is bigger than anything or anyone, He is the Supreme Creator of all things, He is all knowing, all powerful and everywhere at all times, and they try to put Him in a box

    Ask some of the kids to put the worship leaders chair in some small boxes. Boxes are behind the stage door. None of the boxes are big enough. I am always perplexed by the fact that so many Christians always try to take God, who is bigger than anything or anyone, He is the Supreme Creator of all ...read more

     | 22,352 views

    The way David responded to God's correction and the new Word from the Lord is a good example to follow for any Christian. For David could then be over whelmed by a sense of God's grace & goodness.

    2 SAMUEL 7: 18-29 [The Life of David] BROKEN DREAMS RESTORED [Psalm 73:25-28] While David's proposal has been turned aside, God's acceptance of David's desire is not denied.
