    Was God Angry At Jesus? Series

     | 1,936 views

    The New Testament writers were constantly going back to Isaiah 53. Isaiah 53 really was the basis for their understanding of what happened on the cross. I wonder did the resurrected Jesus preach from Isaiah 53 to the two disciples on the Emmaus Road?

    If you are not saved yet, you need to come and see the Savior. If you are saved, it’s time to leave and share the Savior with others.

    Glorifying God Luke 2:8-20 Rev. Brian Bill December 22-23, 2018 I came across a report out of Ludington, Michigan describing how a church just unveiled its new Sleep Number seating for congregants, becoming the first church in the nation to offer personalized, adjustable sleep options for members. ...read more

    We've Must Get To Holy Ground

    Contributed by Bryan Beverly on Oct 23, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,208 views

    This text reminds us that our goal in life should be neither reaching high ground nor good ground, but rather holy ground; woe be unto us if we use elevation and wealth as substitutes for being holy.

    Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian; he led his flock beyond the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of a bush; he looked, and the bush was blazing, yet it was not consumed. ...read more

    How To Deal With Sin And Guilt Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Apr 19, 2021
     | 3,121 views

    Many options in the religious and secular world are given for how to deal with our everyday experience of sin, the guilt it brings and the dread of potential ultimate condemnation. The Book of Hebrews is adamant that there is only one solution for sin, and no other substitutes.

    The great American psychiatrist Karl Menninger, author of the book, Whatever Became of Sin, once stated that if he could convince patients in psychiatric hospitals that their sins were forgiven, 75% of them could walk out the next day. His statement underscores the struggle that all of us human ...read more

    The Arrest Of Jesus Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Oct 6, 2016
     | 6,578 views

    Jesus has completely surrendered Himself to these guards; He signifies that He is their substitute. We must take a moment to grasp this: He places Himself in front of them (and us) to protect them from the danger.

    The Arrest of Jesus John 18:1-14 Following Jesus’s prayer in the garden, the events unfold quickly (setup for Sun) Re: This is at night, following Passover supper; after time spent in prayer ∆ Jesus Identifies and Surrenders In the garden, where a powerful time of prayer is ...read more

    Inalienable Rights Series

    Contributed by Eric Hanson on Aug 14, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,925 views

    The idea of Inalienable rights is rooted in Genesis and the fact that human beings are created in the image of God. Neither Secular Humanism or Islam recognize this. This message looks at this in an instructional way.

    INALIENABLE RIGHTS Pastor Eric J. Hanson November 26th 2006 A message like this one can stand alone, but I strongly suggest that each one listening to Inalienable Rights also get a CD or tape of my message from two weeks prior to this one. Clash of Civilizations bring out some stark facts about ...read more

    God’s criterion for choosing His servants is far different from man’s in that man tends to look only at the cover of a man, while God looks at the core of a man.

    Text: I Sam.16: 1-5, 13a Intro: If you were going to choose someone to do an important job, what would be your criteria?
