    Promises To Keep Before I Sleep

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 8, 2007
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,058 views

    We find it difficult to keep promises because we are focused on dealing with today’s issues. We back off our commitments to God because they are hard, but we can receive help from accountability partners, and can know joy and fulfillment.

    To be a saint is not to be perfect; to be a saint is to be someone who makes promises and keeps them. Sainthood is not some magic status, conferred by the church for merit or miracles; sainthood is ordinary people living in extraordinary faithfulness, making promises and keeping them. Did you ...read more

     | 2,785 views

    Transfiguration Sunday is about the identity of the one we follow. Jesus Christ is revealed in glory on the mount of transfiguration. Let us rise to our feet and declare our allegiance to our Lord on this day.

    Matthew 17:1-9 The Message Sunlight Poured from His Face 17 1-3 Six days later, three of them saw that glory. Jesus took Peter and the brothers, James and John, and led them up a high mountain.

     | 4,941 views

    The burial of Jesus is not merely incidental; although not as important as the other two points of the Gospel, it is something we need to contemplate and study.

    The Transition: What Happened Before the Resurrection? 1. Two men went hunting in Canada -- had a pilot take them to remote spot. They shot 6 elk. Pilot says, “We can’t fly with that many-- too heavy. We can only take three.” “Last year we had the same kind of plane and ...read more

    The beginning of the journey of Christ's week leading to his crucifixion.

    Jesus and the Apostles all approach Jerusalem. He sent ahead two of the disciples.

    When Hope Feels Lost - Lent Week 5 Series

    Contributed by Shawn Vollmerhausen on Mar 20, 2026
     | 250 views

    This sermon explores how God meets us in the places where hope feels lost, using Ezekiel’s valley of dry bones and the raising of Lazarus to show how God breathes life into what seems dead and calls us out of the tombs we settle into.

    Come to Me: When Hope Feels Lost Ezekiel 37:1–6, 11–14 ~ John 11:17–27, 32–44 There are seasons in life when hope feels like it has slipped through our fingers. We don’t plan for those seasons. They arrive quietly, or suddenly, or slowly over time, and before we realize it, we’re standing in a ...read more

    Behold The King: The Cross Before The Crown

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 26, 2018
     | 6,670 views

    God’s desired will — with omissions and out of sequence — is no longer God’s will. The cross could not be bypassed. Jesus had to wear the crown of thorns before He could wear the crown of the Kingdom.

    Behold The King: The Cross Before the Crown (Various Portions of the Gospels) 1. One blogger writes, “Today, I was waiting at the bus stop and noticed a girl that I played netball with. I ran across the road to meet her and she ran across the car park to meet me. We hugged and looked at each other ...read more

     | 3,462 views

    Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a colt accompanied by its mother donkey. He is King of the Jews, but did the crowd really accept Him as that? This brings together all 4 Gospel accounts into one harmony. This ageless story is full of meaning.
