    The Third Day He Rose Again From The Dead Series

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Aug 20, 2004
    based on 16 ratings
     | 14,534 views

    This sermon suggests seven consequences if the resurrection of the dead is false. But, because the resurrection of the dead is true, we have hope!

    Introduction As we continue our series in The Apostles’ Creed I would like to examine today what it means that Jesus rose from the dead on the third day. Please listen as I recite the Apostles’ Creed: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, ...read more

    For Those In Quest Series

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Sep 19, 2004
    based on 54 ratings
     | 4,138 views

    The Bereans show us that a quest becomes noble when: 1. We receive the Good News with eagerness. 2. We examine the Scriptures to see if it is true. 3. We are transformed by the truth.

    My favorite part of Paul Harvey is the last segment of the newscast that he calls “For What It’s Worth.” One day he gave this interesting story: “Our For What It’s Worth Department hears from Hershey, Pennsylvania — where the woman in the Mercedes had been waiting patiently for a parking place to ...read more

    Confident Of His Coming

    Contributed by Harold Orndorff on May 25, 2004
    based on 44 ratings
     | 4,860 views

    Though people have and continue to doubt that Jesus will return, we can be confident of His coming because God has judged the world before, because God is not bound by time, and because Christ’s coming will not be preceded by definite signs.

    Confident of His Coming II Peter 3:1-13 Maranatha - - come quickly, Lord Jesus. Quickly, you say? What’s so quick about two thousand years? (The third millennium, by the way, started not so long ago!) Come where? Do what? Would you really want Jesus to come? Why can’t he just stay where He ...read more

     | 14,632 views

    Why Christmas is such an important celebration and why 2000 years after His birth, Jesus Christ is worthy of our trust, love, and devotion.

    In less than two weeks it will be Christmas and almost all of us will celebrate the birth of someone born 2000 years ago. Why? That is the question of the day. What makes Jesus Christ so special? Why isn't the birthday of Mohammed, Confucius, or Buddha the biggest holiday of the year? Why does our ...read more

    Sometimes God’s promises are so amazing they are hard to beleive! Yet God does the amazing.

    In the movie “It Could Happen to You” which is said to be loosely based on a true story, Nicolas Cage plays a cop who stops in to a diner and doesn’t have enough money to give a tip to the waitress, so he makes an unbelievable promise. He says that he has a lottery ticket and if he wins, her tip ...read more

    Simon The Pharisee

     | 34,762 views

    While reading this story we are all focused on what the woman does. It is Simon however on whom I would like to put the spotlight: the reality is that we are like the Pharisee, and not like the woman!

    Simon, the Self-righteous Pharisee - sermon on Luke 7: 36-50 - The sinful woman. That is the name the translators of our translation gave to this paragraph in Luke’s gospel. Another title would have been more appropriate however. Maybe something like ‘Simon, the proud Pharisee.’ For the deepest ...read more

    Kings of Judah, Pt 4

    IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD (2 CHRONICLES 22:10-24:27) I enjoy reading bumper stickers on cars and one caught my attention more than most.
