     | 4,761 views

    Good Friday was a necessary part of the Easter journey. The sermon shares a Leonard Sweet story about bell-ringing. (Each person who came to worship received a bell as they entered.)

    They thought it was over. Jesus was dead and buried. The religious folks sighed with satisfaction. His followers wept in grief. But they were wrong! They were all wrong! From this side of Easter, we can call Friday “Good” because we know that it was not over, all had not been ...read more

    Those who deny the truth of the resurrection are teaching a different gospel to that which we find in the New Testament.

    I BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION. 1 Corinthians 15:1-34. Sometimes it is necessary for Christian people to get back to the basics of their faith, to remind themselves what they are about.

     | 3,232 views

    The disciples were confused by the somber assessment of the number of loaves in their hands; I encourage you today to look at His Hands rather than your own! Listen carefully to what I have to say today!

    Dalmanutha! Mark 8:10”And immediately he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.” Now watch, Jesus had already performed a breath-taking miracle where He multiplied 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes that fed an enormous crowd of more than five ...read more
