    based on 1 rating
     | 10,647 views

    This message focuses on the wise men and the gifts they presented to the newborn Savior. In viewing the symbolism of the gifts, we can learn more about the great plan of our Lord to save His people from their sins.

    I wish to begin this morning with a prophecy of the Messiah found in Isaiah 60:1-3, and verse 6: “Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and ...read more

    Pilate's Wife

    Contributed by Claude Alexander on Apr 2, 2022

     | 4,009 views

    It is surprising, and sad, that the only testimony (in effect) on Jesus’ behalf during the trial was made, not by any of Jesus’ disciples, nor apostles, nor followers, but by Pilate’s wife.

    Pilate's Wife Matt. 27:11-26 The chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole council of the Sanhedrin had decided to put Jesus to death. They had Jesus brought before Pilate the governor to pronounce the death sentence. (Mark 15:1; Luke 22:66; 23:1) Pontius Pilate was the fifth ...read more

    Mission Possible

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 24, 2023
     | 2,627 views

    Peter could only do the impossible as long as he focused on Jesus instead of on his surroundings.

    As sometimes happens, this sermon took a turn I had not expected once I really got into it. Not a very big one, mind you, but I would up focusing on the gospel lesson instead of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. I do like, when I can, to tie the three lessons together, and these three seemed to be ...read more

     | 7,086 views

    Throughout history, there have been several explanations given regarding why Jesus asked God, the Father, to remove the cup from Him.

    "And they went to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray." 33 And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled. 34 And he said to them, "My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here ...read more

     | 2,124 views

    Is Judas 100% responsible for his action in betraying Jesus, or was he merely fulfilling God's plan. This message opens up the sad life of Judas as portrayed by John and the other evangelists. It is one in the series "THE CHARACTERS OF JOHN'S GOSPEL". This is Part 1.

    Naaman was healed by God but Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, coverted the gifts Naaman brought which Elisha refused. This sad story is what happens when lust has conceived and it had tragic results for Gehazi.

     | 6,643 views

    Joseph and Mary had no say over the name of their first child. He was not named for anyone else, not for what character was hoped for him, but for the purpose for which he was born in the first place.

    Matthew 1:18-25 Joseph’s Dream 12/1/02 D. Marion Clark Introduction “What’s in a name?” so questions Juliet. There may be much in a name. Some of us are named after loved and respected family members. We carry in our name the remembrance of someone else. Others of us ...read more
