Our Compassionate King - Palm Sunday

Contributed by Tim Melton on Mar 15, 2021

Today will you bow your heart once again to Jesus Christ our Messiah King. Be bold as you come before His throne in your time of need. There you will find a compassionate King who is ready to grant the grace and mercy that you need.

Luke was the only Gentile author in the New Testament. He wrote in a way that a non-Jew could understand what had happened in those days. Because of this Luke is for many the easiest gospel to read. This gospel clearly shows us Jesus, a compassionate Savior, King who has come for all mankind, Jews ...read more

The King Has Come - Palm Sunday

Contributed by Tim Melton on Mar 15, 2021

The Jews longed for freedom from the Romans. They desired too little. They were too easily satisfied. They wanted freedom in the present from sinful men when the King had come who would forgive their sin and grant them eternity. The true King had come.

Have you ever been in a situation where you really needed some help? A situation just got out of hand. It was too difficult, too painful, you were trapped and there was nothing you could do about it. You really needed someone who could come into your situation and make things right. That had often ...read more

Resurrection Sunday 2021 - Why The Resurrection? Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 3, 2021

To an unchurched, Biblically illiterate population the resurrection of Jesus from the dead may be confusing or even rejected out of hand as a fable. It is only when we see it in its proper context that we can even start to grasp the magnitude of this great series of events.

Seven Sundays To Easter: In The Garden Of Gethsemane Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 11, 2021

Jesus and the Eleven Disciples left the upper room and walked over to the Garden of Gethsemane. There Jesus prayed earnestly to the Father. Even though the disciples had come along with Him, our Lord was probably never so alone as He was at this time.

Introduction: Jesus and the eleven disciples finished their time in the Upper Room. Judas Iscariot had left them so he could betray Jesus to the chief priests and others. He missed out on the truths which our Lord shared with the others in John 14-16, and the Lord’s beautiful beyond words in John ...read more
