    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 31, 2013
    based on 10 ratings
     | 20,105 views

    This was one of the most significant moments in all human history, when God signed His name on the dotted line of salvation, at least, from our perspective. What is a covenant? What parts of this account are covenantal? What is the smoking firepot and the

     | 44,496 views

    Based on Rev 22:12-end and John 17:20-26. The invitation at the end of Revelation is made to the Great Feast, and we as a church should set aside pride and in unity reach the lost with the Gospel of Christ.

    Behold, I come quickly. I was told a story long ago about a preacher preaching on the second lesson this morning from Revelation 22, and Christ’s words “Behold, I Come quickly.” A new preacher, fresh out of seminary, was so nervous about delivering his first sermon that ...read more

    Washing Feet And A Kingdom Of Power Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 22, 2021
     | 2,938 views

    This passage gives us the dynamic example of Jesus washing feet. How can Jesus lay aside the traditional power structures to be able to live like that? The answer is in this passage.

    PETER'S EMPHATIC "NO": Peter was deeply offended by Christ’s offer because he was still thinking of a traditional power structure. - John 13:6-10a. - The disciples were still expecting the inaugural of a traditional kingdom. - Rome was going to be overthrown, the Jewish nation was ...read more

    We may imagine that we could never resist a lion. But lions will cross our path and Peter tells us to resist them.

    We must be vigilant and fight against gratifying ourselves in opposition to the will of God.

    Today, I want to talk about “Why Being Good Matters.” And I want to express it in such a way that rebels who repent of their sins have hope. We want to examine our purpose in living against the backdrop of life itself. Not a sanitized view of life that we find in an ivory tower, stained glass ...read more
