    A New Body

    Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Jan 16, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,413 views

    This sermon is the first in a series for January 2017 called "Start Something New." Many focus on body image issues when making New Year's Resolutions. In baptism, we have "put on Christ," and God sees His perfect, sinless Son. THERE'S your new body!

    It’s that time again—time to set lofty goals for yourself. Time to aim high for 2017. Time to dream that you might be one of only 8% of Americans who actually fulfill a new year’s resolution! Year after year, we do this to ourselves…no matter how many times we fall into the 92% failure category. ...read more

His wife was seated by his side with a book in her lap showing a small child how to read. In the lower left hand corner ...read more

    Of Superstars And Starlight Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 4, 2009
     | 3,686 views

    We have not yet learned the difference between superficial superstars and the starlight wisdom of Jesus. He transforms gold into Kingdom power, frankincense into respect, and myrrh into the preface for resurrection.

    In 1970 Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber brought out a rock opera with the provocative title, Jesus Christ Superstar. Predictably, not everyone was amused. Some condemned it as sacrilegious. But if you listened carefully and let your defenses down a notch or two, their work communicated the ...read more

    The question was asked by Christ on the cross and we often ask it as we look at the Easter Story, God Why Don' t you do something. The reality is that he was doing something

    Matthew 27:46 At about three o’clock, Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?” How many times have we asked ourselves the same question that Jesus asked as he hung dying on the cross? ...read more
