Contributed by Jason Cole on Mar 12, 2007

We throw around many words and cliches in the church. One of those is that we are free in Christ, but what does that freedom mean? Many assume it means a freedom to do more things, but that is not what freedom in Christ is all about.

“What Does It Mean to Have Freedom?” Introduction: Martin Luther King, Jr. in his famous “I Have a Dream” speech said some beautiful words that he quoted from an old Negro spiritual, “free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty we’re free at last…” Patrick Henry famously said in a speech to the ...read more

The Road To Calvary

Contributed by Steve Shepherd on Apr 1, 2007

Christ’s road to Calvary: The plot. The betrayal. The supper. The denial. The garden.

INTRO.- ILL.- A tired hunter out in the wilderness stumbled into a camp. “Am I glad to see you,” he said. “I’ve been lost for three days.” “Don’t get too excited, friend,” the other hunter replied. “I’ve been lost for three weeks.” Have you ever been lost in the woods?

Who Are You Looking For?

Contributed by Imelda Mesa on Sep 27, 2022

Jesus Christ is the central figure of Christianity. This is what separates and makes us unique from other world religions.

Today, Christians all over the world celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus is alive, and He is alive forever. The ground where Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus laid his body began to shake, and this massive stone that serves as a door to Jesus’ tomb was rolled away. And so when the ...read more

Abraham Justified Before Circumcision Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Apr 22, 2024

Paul wants his people to know that salvation is not dependent on any work.

4:9 “Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised?” Is God’s blessedness, or happiness, which David just described, for only Jews, or can Gentiles get in on this? He doesn’t use those two terms though. He is making a point. Is a man made right and happy ...read more

Joy Is Restored Series

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Dec 17, 2017

Sorrow is but for a time. The power of prayer, memories of God’s past healing and His loving-kindness sustain Israel. God heals the pain of the present in the same manner as He has healed the pain of the past.

Joy is the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying: it is keen pleasure, or elation. Joy is more elusive, subtle, and nuanced than happiness. We can manipulate circumstances to our own advantage to obtain what we think will bring happiness, or ...read more
