24 Legacy New Day New Hero

Contributed by Amiri Hooker on May 2, 2017

The aim of this Sermon is to help you better understand the events that occurred during the last twenty-four hours of Jesus’ life, see more clearly the God Spoken Importance of Christ’s suffering and death, and reflect upon the meaning of these events.

JESUS IS BELIEVED to have died at the age of 33 after a life of approximately 12,000 days. The Gospel writers devoted most of their work to just 1,100 or so of those days, the last 3 years of his life; and their primary interest was in one particular day—the day he was crucified. This 24-hour ...read more

I Have Seen The Lord Series

Contributed by Bill Walker on Jan 4, 2017

Every person comes to faith differently. Mary Magdalene was one of the last people at the cross and first to the tomb. Although she was marginalized by society she was a loyal follower of Jesus.

I HAVE SEEN THE LORD! John 20:1-18 I suppose that one of the reasons that I like history is the fact that it is chronological. We had a high-school teacher in Indiana that would start the school term with the big current event of the day and then move backward through history to make it more ...read more

Where Have You Taken Jesus?

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 11, 2016

We have the ability to take Jesus places. He is dependent on us to get around. He lives inside of us. Are we taking him sinful places? Are we hiding Him? Or are we going where He would naturally go?
