Sermons on Road To Emmaus:

The Day Before Easter

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 15, 2001

The emotions felt by the disciples on the day before Easter mirror the way we react when we don’t understand what God is doing.

What we celebrate today is the central, defining event of the Christian faith. On this day, for the last twenty centuries, Christians have gathered together all over the world, in remote villages and in crowded cities, in cathedrals and in rented schoolrooms, just as we are doing here this morning; ...read more

Laying The Groundwork Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

Biblical faith is always based on facts, and is supported by evidence. If we would keep this in mind, we would avoid many of the foolish mistakes Christians have made.

One of the most novel debates in the history of Christianity was that over the question of whether or not Adam and Eve had a navel. The man in the street could hide his conviction, but the artist had to face the issue squarely and choose a side. His works made it clear whether he was pro or ...read more

The Parable Of The Sower, The Seed And The Soils

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jul 28, 2005

Jesus explains the conditions of entry into God’s Kingdom - He is the Sower, the Seed is His Word and men and women are the Soil, either "Bad-Soil" - along the Path: responding NO; on the Rock: YES & NO; among Thorns: YES BUT; or "Good-Soil" : YES!

The first recorded parable of Jesus is “The Parable of the Sower” (Matthew 13:1-23) but it’s equally the story of the seed and the soils. Earlier that day He’d had a confrontation with the Pharisees and religious lawyers about His claim to be the Son of Man and the great gulf that separated them ...read more

The Holy Spirit: What Do We Really Know About Him?

Contributed by Terry Frazier on Apr 20, 2013
