     | 4,375 views

    The crucifixion must have been devastating to Jesus' followers and the resurrection…well…that must have been scary and exhilarating at the same time. And it all happened so fast! It didn’t give them much time to process in their minds what was happening.

    Introduction Read 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 So many of us are overly comfortable with the story of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection that we have a hard time understanding what it was like for those who experienced it as it was happening. How would you have liked to have been one of ...read more

    Tested & Approved In Christ

    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 11, 2025
     | 889 views

    The Christian’s life is similar to the Olympic Games where we are all competing to win the approval of God. Some Christian's behavior is NOT approved, most are told to work toward God's approval, and some are said to be approved while still on earth.

    1. Jesus Christ humbled himself. 2. Jesus Christ surrendered himself. 3. Jesus Christ gave himself to save us.

Listen to the stark opposites to which we profess faith: “I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary.” From that great pronouncement of Christ’s uniqueness, ...read more
