    One of the most important, most powerful and beautiful dimensions of Christianity is the hope it gives that physical death will not be the end, but through a resurrection we will enter God’s kingdom and experience eternal life

    Four friends were talking about death. One of them asked the other three, "When you are in your casket and people are mourning you, what would you like to hear them say about you?" The first man said, "I’d like to hear them say that I was a fine physician in my time and a great family man." The ...read more

    The “unclean spirit” is Satan or his demons. Satan delights in causing uncleanness in persons, places and things. His going out of a man, as presented here, is voluntary, not like his eviction by force as when Christ cast out demons.

    Spiritual dryness, or spiritual paralysis can slip up on us when we least expect it. How does our spiritual life compare to the plight of the crippled man by the Pool of Bethesda?

    For the past few Sundays we have been discussing spiritual growth. It started as we talked specifically about what blaspheming the Holy Spirit is. The next Sunday we talked about how the Holy Spirit indwells you. We have looked at how Jesus is the Living Water in our lives and that if we accept ...read more

    Is There Evidence That Jesus Christ Is Alive After Death? An Examination Of The Facts

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 10, 2023
     | 1,392 views

    For me, it’s obvious that Jesus Christ is alive right now. Because he changed my life forever. He set me free from sins and addictions. He changed my family. My grandpa. My mom. He’s still changing lives everyday in this very city, and across the face of the Earth.

    If Jesus is dead then I’m a fraud. If Jesus is dead right now, then we’re all a joke. The atheists would be right. The world would be right. All the good in the world wouldn’t really be good, all the bad wouldn’t really be bad, all our work would be for nothing, and our lives would be truly ...read more

    Christ depicted three coming realities: 1) The Destruction of the Temple (Mark 13:1-2), 2) The Deception of Many (Mark 13:4–6), and finally, 3) The Devastation of the Earth (Mark 13:7–8).

    Mark 13:1–8 And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!” 2 And Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings?
