     | 3,804 views

    The death of Jesus gave the illusion that Jesus failed. Things are not always the way they appear!

    INTRODUCTION • VIDEO CLIP • SLIDE #1 • If all one knew about the life of Jesus was what we saw in the video clip, one could easily conclude that Jesus failed miserably. • Here was a man who made bold claims about being the Son of God, about being the Messiah, as well as stating that when you looked ...read more

    God calls us to climb Mt Ararat (God in your trials); Mt Moriah (surrender); Mt Sinai (new revelation of God); Mt Pisgah (visions of what to possess); & Mt Calvary (sharing in Jesus' suffering). Will you grow?

    It Is Finished Series

    Contributed by Claude Alexander on Apr 10, 2021
     | 4,039 views

    What was finished? What was this mission that was now finished? Why did Jesus come? Let's look at how Jesus defined his mission -- and later, how his apostles understood it.

    It is Finished! John 19:30 John 19:28-30 reads, "After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, to fulfill the Scripture, said, 'I am thirsty.' A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop, ...read more

    Just Like Jesus

     | 2,780 views

    Years ago there was a large group of people who wanted to be "Just Like Mike." I wonder - doesn’t anyone want to be just like Jesus?

    In the mid to late 90’s, an athlete rose to the top of his game. He became everyone’s hero and turned the game of basketball into one of the most watched sports of that day. He was labeled as being able to “defy gravity.” Although he is retired today, he is still considered one of the greatest ...read more

     | 26 views

    Today, we stand at the foot of the cross. The air is heavy. The sky has darkened. The Son of God hangs in agony. This was not an accident or a tragedy. This was a divine transaction. The crushing of Jesus was the plan of the Father, for the salvation of the world.

    Jesus Is That You?

    Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Nov 3, 2011
     | 2,954 views

    There are 3D's of Christianity: Discouragement, Doubts and Disbelief. When all or any of the 3D's of Christianity happen, Christ begins to fade into the background of our life and that's a place where many are today.

    Jesus is that you? Brenda and I have been looking at new TV's because our LCD flat screen was hit by a sponge ball by me or one of my grandsons while we were playing. There is a spot on the right side of the screen that looks like Alfred Hitchcock's profile. There are many TV's to choose from now a ...read more

    Faith is a verb; it is action. The gospel proclaims that we are saved by grace and not by works. Still, we are saved for good works and service

    Ephesians 28-10, James 2:14-17 “Redefine Your Faith” INTRODUCTION The message of God’s grace is unique to the Christian gospel. Other religions have saviors that were born of virgins, incarnate gods, and rose from the dead, but only Christianity boldly proclaims that God did all of this as a ...read more

    Mary's offspring, Jesus Christ, Son of God and her son, would defeat Satan and all the evil spirits and restore those who believe in Him to our original state in the image of God.

    Monday after Pentecost If the story weren’t of the greatest tragedy in human history, this reading from the early chapter of Genesis would almost be a French farce.
