    No Repentance, No Revival Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 12, 2025
     | 132 views

    Without repentance, revival becomes theater—faith without surrender. True awakening begins when hearts trade control for the cross of Christ.

    The Rubberneck Revival We’ve all done it—slowed down to stare at someone else’s wreck. Traffic crawls, brake lights flare, and curiosity pulls at us. We glance, we speculate, we shake our heads—and then we move on. That’s the spirit of this cultural moment. The world is rubbernecking religion. ...read more

    The End

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Apr 14, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,226 views

    We see three responses to Jesus' death: despair, deliberation from a distance, and conversion. Which group do you most identify with? The cross confronts us with a decision.

    Luke 23:44-49 The End Have you ever felt like you’re at a dead end? Like you didn’t really know how to go forward? Maybe you were in a dead-end relationship. Or a dead-end job. Or a dead-end health prognosis. It can be a very hard place to be. Today we’re going to start at the end. But don’t ...read more

    Washing The Disciples Feet - An Acted Parable

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jun 16, 2001
    based on 94 ratings
     | 13,166 views

    The washing of the disciples’ feet by Jesus was his way of teaching them humility in serving others, a dramatised parable of his submission to death, an anticipation of the Cross and the Empty Tomb abd a message for us today.

    WASHING THE DISCIPLES’ FEET - AN ACTED PARABLE On the night before His Passion Jesus spoke some wonderfully prophetic words: "You do not realise now what I am doing, but later you will understand" (John 13:7). These are the words of Jesus addressed to His disciples. The scene is the room in ...read more

    Raw Honesty

    based on 17 ratings
     | 13,306 views

    "I believe, help my unbelief" is a confession of sin and of faith that takes real courage to make. In the Cross we know what God’s response to us is and forever will be.

    Mark 9:14-29 Today the Word of God that engages us is from Mark chapter 9. In the middle of these verses is one God-Inspired phrase that has been a real help to me on my own journey of faith. Words spoken first by a man who had the courage to be truly honest with himself, and honest with God. ...read more

    Jesus said, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." He also said, "Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple." So following him is vitally important. How is it done?

    It’s like looking at Jesus on the cross. We can look at him on the cross and see how much he loves us. But it’s too big. How are we meant to copy that? So Jesus shows us something we can copy. He kneels down and washes his followers feet.

    Intro Have you ever read something, and when you finished, you asked yourself, “What did I just read? What did these paragraphs say?” A common reason for that is we did not know what some of the words meant, so we just skimmed over them. There is a word in our text today that is tempting to skim ...read more

     | 1,552 views

    Sometimes, the most detrimental thing God can do is to grant us our desires. The prodigal son's journey to a 'far country' symbolizes a place that first exists in our hearts. This journey and his eventual return home teaches us about the dangers of desire and the power of forgiveness.

    Today, we will explore the parable of the Prodigal Sons, which is the third story in a series of parables told by Jesus. This parable, along with the stories of a lost coin and a missing sheep, teaches us important lessons about God's love and forgiveness. Let us dive into the story and uncover its ...read more
