Spiritual Renewal: Raising Lazarus From The Dead

Contributed by Christian Jones on Jun 3, 2023

Through the power of God, Lazarus was brought back to life after being dead for days. Let us explore five key points from this miraculous story and discover how they relate to us spiritually.

Point 1: The Power of God's Timing (John 11:6) In the story of Lazarus, we witness Jesus deliberately delaying His arrival to the scene.

Which Shepherd Are You Choosing? (Pt. 2) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 19, 2022

This exposition of Zechariah 11:7-17 examines Zechariah's prediction of Christ's rejection at his First Advent and the consequences of that rejection. The timeless truth taught is: when the leadership God sends is rejected, the judgment that follows is bad leadership.

Intro We concluded last week with God instructing Zechariah to take on the role of a shepherd. Follow with me as we read Zechariah 11:4. “This is what the Lord my God says: ‘Shepherd the flock marked for slaughter.”i That is the assignment God gives Zechariah. He is to represent the Lord as a good ...read more

Roll That Stone Away! Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Sep 20, 2022

God was not asking them to raise the dead, He was simply telling them to take a step of faith and remove that stone and then they will see what He can do.

Can you imagine Jesus who is 100% God and 100% human walking into the middle of a situation that would, to most people, seem completely hopeless? Hearing the wailing of friends and family over Lazarus’ death, then listening to Martha and Mary express their heartache? They were so disappointed that ...read more

I Am The Resurrection And The Life Series

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Aug 8, 2021

Has Christ made you alive? Do you see the effects of your resurrection every day? Do you see the power of death slowly retreating from your life, the graveclothes being put off?

Death is around us every day. Every day there are funerals at the local cemeteries. Every day people die from cancer and drug overdoses and car crashes. Last week I read that about 160,000 people die each day, all around the world—that’s a lot of death. And that’s just physical death. Think of all ...read more

Easter Never Gets Old Series

Contributed by Chris Anderson on Mar 13, 2023

In this gospel narrative, not only are we going to encounter a resurrection before THE resurrection, we’re also going to encounter a Jesus who sees not only the brokenness of the world, but does something about it.

Listen to some of these crazy Easter traditions from different places around the world.
