    His Triumphal Entry

    Contributed by Shawn Miller on Mar 30, 2015
     | 8,166 views

    This passage in Luke 19 reads like a book of three chapters - The sacrifice of a colt, The praise of a crowd, and The weeping of Christ. Each point can be used as a sermon in itself.

The little boy was curious and asked, "Why do you have that palm branch, dad?" "You see, when ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,983 views

    This is what this passage tells us.  Spiritual growth was not only a priority in the life of Jesus, it was everything.  Jesus taught us how to live a balanced life.

    “Finding Balance” Luke 2:41-52 When we look at the life of Jesus and what the Bible tells us about Him we quickly notice that the majority of what we know is from his adult life…those 3.5 years He spent in ministry. There is of course the story of his birth. Also in the gospel ...read more

    Romans 5 is a very misunderstood text in the Bible. Verses within it are used to teach many doctrines that are not being taught if you examine the passage within its context.

    Romans 5 is a very misunderstood text in the Bible. Verses within it are used to teach many doctrines that are not being taught if you examine the passage within its context.

    What are these “spirits in prison”? Many people reading the word “spirits” in this passage translate it in their minds to dead people who supposedly live now (as spirits) in a prison.

Let’s read this passage together with verses 18 and 20: I Peter 3:18-20 “For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us ...read more

    This passage contains the dreaded "S" word, submit. But what did that mean 2000 years ago in Colossa and what does it mean for us today.

    It was a struggle; I was thinking that this week I would preach from Colossians 4:5–6 Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity.
