    The Truth About Power Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 4,470 views

    Jesus doesn’t tell Zacchaeus, “I’ll stand in your doorway, but I will not come inside.” Jesus doesn’t tell Zacchaeus, “I’ll look in your window, but I will not come inside.” No, Jesus says instead, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today.” (Luke 19:5b)

    We are in a short series of sermons entitled The Truth about You. And we conclude this series with a very famous story, the story of Jesus and Zacchaeus. This is the last of Jesus’ personal encounters (in Luke’s gospel) before He arrives in Jerusalem to be tried, crucified, and eventually ...read more

    There Are Two Certainties In Life; Taxes And Death. And I'm Not Here To Talk About Taxes

    Being diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer back in March (presently at Stage 3), really changed my outlook. It also brought me face to face with the fact that I am going to die at some point. Death isn’t now some concept that I could ignore, but a reality that I had to face.

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 15, 2022
     | 2,599 views

    Time and again in the New Testament we see Jesus sharing parables and stories related to shepherds and sheep. It’s very very common. From psalm 23, talking about the rod and staff of the shepherd, to Jesus calling himself “the gate for the sheep” it’s throughout the scriptures.

    “Dr. Andrew Bonar told me how, in the Highlands of Scotland, a sheep would often wander off into the rocks and get into places that they couldn't get out of. The grass on these mountains is very sweet and the sheep like it, and they will jump down ten or twelve feet, and then they can't ...read more
