    Everyone’s got their ideas of what Jesus would be like if he lived today. . . but this sermon takes a look at some prophecies about Jesus, and identifies what He’d be like today. *HANDOUT INCLUDED*

    Introduction Let me ask you: What is God like? What is Jesus like? Jason - it’s great to have him here.

    In answer to the despair of the disciples Christ holds out the hope of eternal life which is found only in a personal relationship with Him.

    JESUS - THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE JOHN 14 It seems like a long time since I have been preaching to you – three weeks in fact. We return again this morning to our series on the ‘I AM’ sayings of Christ Jesus. Turn with me to John 14, and to probably one of the most well known sayings of Christ ...read more

    In the end we will not be able to say "I don’t want to play this religion game." It won’t be about religion, but about relationship with God. As Jesus prepares to go to the cross, He shares His very last teaching, about our lives, and about the end times.

    A professor of a graduate-school class of gifted students included a HUGE amount of material on the midterm exam. Tension in the room built, people were sighing and gasping aloud as they realized how much material they had covered and were expected to recall. The following week, the professor ...read more

    Joy is not simply a thing of the past, but is stronger in us as a promise of the future. Isaiah 35:10 urges us to get ready for that joy.

    “Get Ready For Joy!” Isaiah 35:10 Pastor Jim Luthy What is it about us and nostalgia? We like to think back to more exciting times or more innocent times, ponder fond memories, sometimes just escape from the trials of today.

    Just as God worked in the frustration of the first Christmas, He can use our frustrations and hurts to bring peace to us and to others.

    Introduction: [“12 Crazy Days of Christmas” video from Sermonspice.com] Holiday frustration. I think that little clip sums it up pretty well. The time of year when we focus on peace, we often find very little of it. The season that is supposed to celebrate the birth of the “Prince of Pease” is ...read more

    God gives a somber condemnation of indiffernce and speaks to the people of Joel’s day of what they must do to overcome it.

    CHANGING THE SPIRITUAL CLIMATE: INDIFFERENCE Joel 2:1, 12-28 (1:1-5, 13-16) Joel is listed as one of the minor prophets, in contrast to the major prophets such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, or Daniel.

    Now one of the disturbing parts of the story to us is that He didn't give the servants the same amount. He gave 5 to one & 2 to another & 1 to another. We may think that is not fair.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2014) A. If you were to ask me, "What is the most famous parable that Jesus ever told?" I would answer that it is the Parable of the Prodigal Son. When parables are mentioned we often think first of that parable ...read more

    Live With An Ascension Attitude

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on May 22, 2006
    based on 35 ratings
     | 14,664 views

    We ask the Holy Spirit to work through the verses of Psalm 47 to gently remind us of what the ascension of Jesus means for us. We have no reason to live our lives like deer caught in a car’s headlights. In light of this Psalm may each of us be empowered to live with an ascension attitude!

    ‘‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking into the sky?” Do you think the angels were really looking for an answer from the disciples when they asked that question? It doesn’t seem as though they were. The question appears to have implied that the disciples had no good reason for standing ...read more

    It is the "blessed hope" because: 1. God is in control. 2. There will be final justice. 3. We have hope. 4. We have the power to overcome.

    I remember sitting in an auditorium listening to a woman who was supposed to be an expert on the second coming of Jesus Christ.

    This jarring episode is just as much a part of the Christmas season as the manger scene. Though grim, the fate of the Innocents shows us how and why we share the hope they had in Christ’s second advent
