The Longest Night

Contributed by Chris Mccarthy on Oct 19, 2010

Focusing on the power of prayer and what the disciples may have missed out on in the Garden of Gethsemane.

LUKE 22:39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. 40On reaching the place, Luke assumes his readers knew that “the place” was the garden of Gethsemane. Why is that? Probably the same reason he added “as usual” to the fact that ...read more

The Response To Jesus: Judas And Peter Series

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Nov 20, 2012

The betrayal of Judas and the denial of Peter came within hours of each other. The responses were similar, but, the overall outcome of each of these men was completely different. This morning I want to take a look at the betrayal of Judas and the denial

Last week we discussed the response to Jesus by Zacchaeus. His response was immediate. We talked last week about how our response to Jesus needs to be like this tax collector. We must own up to our mistakes. Repent, and then offer our lives as an example of what a follower of Jesus looks like. ...read more

Part 3: Show 'em Who Is In Control Series

Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on Nov 1, 2019

My Father told me when I was just a pup, "Son, the very first play is the most important. You must show your opponent who is the boss!"

It was good advice and I have never forgotten what he had said. Of course he was referring to football but it applies to most things, especially sports. Satan thinks he is the boss. He wants to boss you around in the RING of LIFE. From the time you are a young adult, he tries to impress his ...read more

Peter's denial of Jesus gives us the perfect example of how a person who falls can be forgiven and start over.

The Lord’s Betrayal Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Apr 1, 2019

There were three sets of people present at our Lord's betrayal.

Last time, we looked at our Lord’s struggle in Gethsemane. We said it was in Gethsemane that Jesus overcame the reluctance of His flesh to submit to the trial and task of the cross. Having spent time in prayer with the Father about what He was being asked to face, Jesus was prepared. After this ...read more

Our King Jesus Easily Abandoned Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Apr 9, 2018

As Jesus makes his way to from the Last Supper to the Cross he is abandoned. Abandoned by the disciples who fall asleep. Abandoned by Judas who betrays him. Abandoned by Peter who denies him. Despite this abandonment Jesus does not abandon us.

Message Luke 22:39-62 Our King Jesus Easily Abandoned Here is a Scripture that many people find to be a great encouragement. We do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Hebrews ...read more

Joy And Sorrow And "fun" Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 4, 2024

My boss said he wished he could expunge the word “fun” from our students’ working vocabulary. Now knowing what students at our all-boy high school could do outside supervision, I tended to agree.

Joy, Sorrow and “Fun” Some time ago, I listened to a sermon by the local pastor. He told us that the Ten Commandments were given to us by God so that we could all “enjoy” life. I’m sure there are many, even Christians, who would question that. After all, the Commandments are largely a list of ...read more
