The Stewardship Of The Gospel

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Aug 31, 2019

The understanding that the Apostle Paul had for God's calling on his life is instructive for the calling of every church.

This morning I would like to start on a fairly major project. We are going to start a sermon series from the New Testament book of Ephesians. Its only 6 chapters long, but there is so much in it that it could easily take us 6 months to complete. I love the Bible, and to see the Bible's ...read more

Compassionate Grace

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Mar 20, 2016

Jesus was never to busy to stop and help whoever was in need. Wether a tax collector, or a rich young ruler. He showed grace to everyone, all the way to the cross. If we call ourselves Christian and we are Christ, shouldn't we be willing to do the same?

Compassionate Grace Matthew 18:35-42 NKJ 35 Then it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging. 36 And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant. 37 So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. 38 And he cried out, saying, ...read more

Easter, The Best Good News Or Best-Kept Secret? Series

Contributed by Garth Wehrfritz- Hanson on Apr 7, 2016

Easter is the best Good News we could possibly hear, therefore it is worth sharing with others.

Easter, is it the best good news ever told, or is it the best-kept secret? I think that is an important question for you and me and for everyone. If we take our passages seriously from Psalm 118 and Luke 24; then I suggest to you today that God’s way is that of resurrection; he is able to ...read more

The Unexpected Jesus

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 25, 2013

What do you expect from Jesus? The people, disciples, and the religious leaders had some very specific expectations of Jesus on Palm Sunday. He shattered all of them, just as He shatters our expectations as well. And that's a good thing!

John 12:1-2, 9-19 Jesus performed an incredible miracle in raising Lazarus. It made huge waves. It wasn’t the first person Jesus raised, but it was the first who had been raised after the Jewish belief that the soul had left the body. According to the Talmud (Babylonian Talmud Sanhedrin ...read more

Jesus Walks Towards Death So We Can Live Series

Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Mar 27, 2013

Jesus was a revolutionary who everyone was talking about prior to the feast of Passover.

I’ve been reading and re-reading the Palm Sunday story this week, not so much for the story itself because that is familiar to all of us – Jesus comes to Jerusalem for Passover, He sends His disciples off to steal a donkey (it’s ok – I’m sure they took it back when ...read more

Ponder the humility of Jesus, and know that God loves you that much.

"BECAUSE GOD LOVED YOU THAT MUCH." Imagine being part of the crowd that cheered for Jesus as he rode into Jerusalem that Sunday many years ago.

Trotting In To Save The Day Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 4, 2012

What image comes to mind when you think about a hero riding in to save the day? Jesus, our ultimate action hero, rides into Jerusalem to save the day for humanity, but not in the way you would imagine, not this time anyway.

When you picture the hero coming in to save the day you probably think of a tall guy in a tall hat riding in on tall white horse with a couple of shotguns off of his saddle and two in his hands. Well, our ultimate action hero, Jesus, rides into Jerusalem all right—but on a tall white horse? ...read more
