Laying On Of Hands

Contributed by Tony Abram on Aug 30, 2005

The hands of Jesus were always doing something, folding, lifting, healing, holding, reaching forth and being nailed to the cross. This sermon go into what He did and what He expects us to do with the hands He gave us.

Laying on of Hands One of the main reasons we do missionary evangelist is that Jesus was and is the world’s greatest missionary evangelist. Years ago I knelt at His feet and said I would follow Him. (seeing his feet) I was following man, wanting to be like Osborn...I was around powerful ...read more

Betrayed By How Many?

Contributed by Allan Quak on Dec 15, 2005

Jesus has reached the point of no return – the cross was going to be inevitable. However, despite the fact that it is Judas who is betraying Him Jesus still calls Judas “friend”. Such actions help us to know what to do when we are betrayed.

Part 10 - Matthew 8:18-34 - When Jesus Skips Out On Church, You Know Someth Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 3, 2010

It's interesting to me that Jesus called His disciples to leave the crowd and His disciples and they experience some spiritual warfare as they cross to the other side of the lake. Why would Jesus miss this opportunity, when He had a crowd gathered?

Part 10 - Matthew 8:18-34 - WHEN JESUS SKIPS OUT ON CHURCH, YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG! I remember as a young student Pastor being invited to a Church for afternoon tea. They said they wanted to pray for me. What I didn't realise is that they wanted to pray for me to be their Pastor. At the end ...read more

The Best Is Yet To Be

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 21, 2010

Senior Adult Sunday 1989: God wants to bless us in our senior years and to give us "laughter". He can work through our mistakes and even make those into blessings. From crosses He makes resurrections.

As they passed through the middle age years and headed for senior status, they took some measures to make sure that those years would be manageable years. They took stock of their finances, for example, and made sure that there would be enough for everyday life and for at least a few emergencies. ...read more

What Is That To You?

Contributed by Daniel Austin on Jul 5, 2011

We are called the same as Peter, to follow after Jesus. In answering that call we need to deny the distraction of others, the distraction of the circumstances of life, and deny even ourselves, and let us take up our cross and follow after Him.

John’s Question

Contributed by Dan Finch on Dec 25, 2010

Everybody wants to be a winner and be on the winning team. John the baptizer was afraid that he was mistaken about Jesus because he saw him headed toward a cross. We are still a lot like John. Following Jesus is often not about winning.

It’s hard to be sure when you are in pain It’s easy to be confident when things are going well – when you are young, strong – LeBron James for instance, went on TV and had a whole show just to say that he was going to the Miami Heat. Look at me, look how confident I am. This is going to be great. ...read more

Six days before Jesus offer His life on the cross, three people among his friends gave three tokens of love to Jesus. Martha offered the token of Service, Mary the token of worship and Lazarus the token of Testimony for Christ.

Our Enemy...death... Defeated!

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Mar 24, 2016

Easter. The Resurrection of Jesus divides the believer from the non believer. The physical resurrection of Jesus shatters the grip of the fear of death. (Heb. 2:14) One can not separate the facts of the cross from the empty tomb. "The Theography" Sweet

God's All-Sufficiency In You

Contributed by James May on Oct 27, 2013

Through the Sacrifice of Jesus upon the cross, everything we need to be all that God wants us to be, has already been provided and dwells in us. When Jesus said, "It is Finished"; that's exactly what he meant!

Love Jesus? Feed His Sheep!

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Mar 26, 2011

Jesus wanted Peter to realize the ability to do what He was asking was already there, it already had arrived. Everything the disciples needed to complete the task before them, had already been bought, paid for and provided for, at the cross.

So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Feed My lambs.” 16.

Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 3, 2016

When we face a theological crisis because it seems like God has turned against us, we need to back up & look at the Cross and know that it guarantees the love of God & that God's will is to bless & save us. Keep believing!
