An Easter Sermon

Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Dec 12, 2014

A perspective on Easter. When one is spiritually exhausted and even physically exhausted from wrestling with God in prayer, then there is only one way to go. That is, to surrender to the will of God and say, “Not my will, but your will be done”.

The 13th Disciple

Contributed by Samuel Chandar on Sep 21, 2014

True discipleship is not physically following Jesus; it is carrying the Cross according to His bidding....

THE 13th DISCIPLE Text: Mark 5:1-20 The backdrop and context for our study needs to start with the Sea of Galilee.

What Is Faith? Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 2, 2012

What is the real nature of faith? We often think it is blind trust in Jesus to give us what we ask for. In reality faith means a transformation of how you think of life, needs, and your relationship with Jesus.

In this portion of Chapters 7 and 8 Jesus puts His men into several situations to show them what it means to rely on Jesus. Sadly, they don’t get it, but it gives us some great direction on how to trust Jesus in our lives. We leave a situation where Jesus encountered the Pharisees who thought ...read more

Beggar(S)

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Aug 30, 2017

When Martin Luther died, they found a piece of paper in his pocket that read: "This is true. We are beggars." He is right. Before God, we are beggars, like the Canaanite woman.

There is something about a sibling that can bring out the worst in us. We might not mind losing, but when it is to a brother or sister, then it’s an entirely different story. We might become more competitive than we normally are. Our patience can seem to be even less with them. They also seem ...read more
