    The Forgotten Tree

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 15, 2021
     | 3,292 views

    The Christmas Tree has become the main symbol of Christmas; baby Jesus has little connection to it. God's Christmas Tree is the Cross of Calvary. God hung His gift on it -- His Son Jesus. I put up a 5-ft. cross with Christmas lights on it.

    THE FORGOTTEN TREE 1 Pet. 2:24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. In one Dennis the Menace cartoon, Dennis rushes into the living room. His mother is standing there with her mouth open and Dennis is holding a large box. 2. He announces with a loud voice, “We’d better tell Santa Claus to forget about ...read more

    What Was He Thinking

     | 10,045 views

    When a cross or trial comes our way we’re often left wondering like Peter, "What was He thinking when He allowed this to come on me?" However, Jesus’ own cross story helps us to see that in the midst of it all, He’s still thinking of you and me.

    Pentecost 15 A Matthew 16:21-26 What Was He Thinking? 09/01/02 There’s a television commercial currently running that shows a guy going off a tall waterfall in a kayak. He’s screaming all the way to the bottom as he bounces off rocks along the canyon wall and finishes his plunge into the waters ...read more

But even after Jesus died on Friday, there lingered the promise of Jesus that He would rise again on the third day! This promise ...read more

    I want to tell you this morning that the suffering and anguish Jesus Christ experienced was on Friday-- we live on the Sunday-side of the cross!

    "In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher. 2And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon ...read more

    The biblical story of the crossing of the Red Sea is so obvious the skeptics can’t believe it and we mustn’t overlook it.

Probably because it’s so obvious. If the water was up that far you couldn’t read sign anyway! The world’s can often be like that - ...read more

    The resurrection is a reality. However, if the cross had not been a reality, the resurrection could not have been. What then is the relevance to our everyday life?

    To become a Christian is to accept an extra dimension to life. From the Christian’s point of view the notable thing about the unbeliever’s world is how much smaller it is. The unbeliever is imprisoned in a decaying universe. Imagine you took a child to the theater to see some tragedy like, say, ...read more
