    While Jesus was still alive, Joseph did nothing for Jesus. However, at the right time, when he only had three hours before the Sabbath, he could take care of Jesus’ body.

    The story of Jesus’ death and burial that we will discuss today is recorded in all four Gospels. This shows the significance of this event. Let’s read Mark 15:33-47. Verse 33 – “At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon.” Jesus was crucified at nine in the morning. ...read more

    WORRY [part 2] INTRODUCTION The Philosopher said, "life can only be understood backward, but it must be lived forwards." in life, particularly that of a believer, many things are encountered that are not understood right away.

    Christmas sermon looking at the song "Rudolph" and applying his experiences to our lives and understanding how God loves us, how He invites us to join His work, and how He desires to bless us.

    WHAT God Taught Me about Himself through Rudolph It seems I had heard the song "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer a dozen times one day at work this past week.

    This psalm expresses gratitude to God – something we can ALL do more of. What we choose to do with this information is entirely up to each of us. Will we desire to run to Him, or be slaves to ourselves and our own desires?

    Loving The Lord

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019
     | 5,543 views

    Are you a good Samaritan? We might try to help other people, but is that really what Jesus was trying to teach when he told the story about the good Samaritan? Look to what leads up to this parable and see how Jesus' story is so much more than just a lesson teaching us to help other people.

    “Help other people.” When did you learn that lesson? That is one of the very basic lessons that we normally learn at a very early age. Someone drops something, you pick it up. Someone falls down on the playground, you help them up. If there is someone who is need, you share what you have been ...read more

    We cannot misuse our responsibilities and interactions with people

    Luke 16:1-13 The Gospel of Luke contains a lot of parables – stories told by Jesus to help us understand how we are to live our lives. Some of these parables seem to say one thing, but when you really think about them, they have a totally different meaning. The name of this parable is the unjust ...read more

    Don’t you see there are some people that you and you alone can reach? That’s the reason why God says he has prepared good works for you beforehand to walk in them. If we don’t have your gift operating, we are not at our full capacity.

    I Know Just The Right Person For The Job!

    Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Jun 13, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,961 views

    We often can feel inadequate and ill-prepared to witness our faith, and to share God's Word with others. However, like the prophet Isaiah, God has prepared us through our life experiences and His Word. He has forgiven us, and He has sent us.

    “I know just the right person for the job!” This is a phrase that we can be very familiar with in our lives. It is one that we heard with the elections, as people told us whom they taught were the best candidates. It is a phrase we may hear at work as we suggest people for vacant positions. It ...read more

    God had put a wall between Israel and her neighbors, not because Israel was better than any other nation, but because she was different. Instead of worshipping idols, the Jews worshipped the one true God, who made the heavens and the earth.
