Fleeing The Tomb

Contributed by Donna Muise on Apr 18, 2007

God will roll away the stones in our lives just as he did for the women; we just have to ask.

FLEEING THE TOMB Mark 16:1-8 If we walked into what the women walked into that early Sunday morning, my guess is that we all would have been tempted to flee the tomb, too. But when you hang around with Jesus, you must be prepared to be seized by fear and amazement, because that’s just who he ...read more

It Is Time To Repair All The Broken Altars In Your Life

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 9, 2020

Joshua 4:1 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the Lord spake unto Joshua, saying, 2 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man, 3 And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of ...read more

When Foundations Crumble

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Nov 26, 2018

This sermon looks at our lives when the spiritual earthquakes of life hit, and our spiritual foundations begin to crumble, and then how do we rebuild. We look at Jesus as our chief cornerstone, how we are built as living stones one upon another, and how to find that new normal for life.

When Foundations Crumble There’s a saying among seismologists: “Earthquakes don’t kill people. Buildings kill people.” It’s not the enormous shock waves that cause most injuries and fatalities. It’s how the structures in which people live, work, and congregate react to those shock waves that ...read more
