    Hope Is Alive

    Contributed by Jarrod Jones on Apr 6, 2016
     | 10,724 views

    Hope is so much more than crossed fingers and waiting for the unknown to happen or not happen. Hope in the resurrected Jesus means that although your world is shaken, your soul will not be. Pastor Jarrod shares this hope in today’s message.

    In an ESPN interview last month, a reporter shared what NBA super-star, Steph Curry, said regarding his “killer instinct” in playing opposing teams. He said, “I want to make them lose all hope.” That’s a zinger. And Curry does an exceptional job doing that. Ponder ...read more

    Forgiving The Unforgivable Series

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 18, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 19,182 views

    Jesus models forgiving the unforgivable as he prays for forgiveness from the cross. As we recognize that he is praying for us, and that we are no better off than those we need to forgive, we gain the power to draw on the Father's love to forgive others.

    Forgiving the Unforgivable Luke 23:32-37 * Seven Last Words from the Cross - Part 1 Today we begin a new seven-week series entitled, “Seven Last Words from the Cross.” If you read the crucifixion account in each of the four gospels, you find exactly seven statements or questions Jesus made in ...read more

    Would you think it unusual if a man on death row was saved while the lethal injection chemicals were dripping into his I.V.? The thief on the cross next to Jesus began his last day in the service of Satan, but ended it in Paradise with God!

    BREAKFAST WITH THE DEVIL, SUPPER WITH THE SAVIOR Mt. 27:38-43; LK. 23:39-43 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1.

    Fifth Sunday In Lent Series

    Contributed by Reginald Knight on Mar 21, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,097 views

    With today’s gospel reading comes the shift to the beginning of the Passion and the response which Jesus makes as he is told that there were some Greeks waiting to see him, points us in the direction of the cross – a place to which Jesus himself is reluctant to go.

    FIFTH SUNDAY IN LENT – Year B By: Rev. Reginald Knight ‘Sir, we wish to see Jesus’ John 12:21 ‘All who see the sacred sign, Press towards heaven’s portal,’ Words from the Hymn written by John Allan Warner (1851-1928) #410 Hymnal.

    Jesus can to show the way to the Father and He changed our future on the cross. Honor Christmas in our hearts. Try to keep it all year. Let the Spirt of God abide in our hearts and strive to do its work within you.

    When we think of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” we automatically think of the three ghosts. What were their names, again? [Pause.] Actually, there were four ghosts, not three. The first ghost to appear was the ghost of Scrooge’s former business partner, Jacob Marley. Weighed down by ...read more

     | 1,789 views

    Yes, Jesus accepted this world for what it is, for what we made it … twisted, broken, and full of hurt … but He so loves the world that He came to die for our sins on the cross, not to condemn us but that we might be saved through Him.

    [This series is based on Reinhold Niebuhr's "The Serenity Prayer" (the full version). This sermon is based on the line: "Taking, as Jesus did, this world as it is and not as I would have it." It was also delivered on Communion Sunday, so it leads to gathering at the ...read more

    The Dark Night Of The Soul

    Contributed by Dr. John D. Wentworth on Jan 6, 2022
     | 2,368 views

    The phrase “dark night of the soul” comes from a poem by St. John of the Cross (1542-1591), a Spanish Carmelite monk. According to the poet, the “dark night of the soul” is synonymous with traveling the “narrow way” that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 7:13-14.

    TITLE: THE DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL TEXT: 2 Cor. 4:7-10 “But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but ...read more

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 45 – At Last The People Owned Their Sin But It Had Caused Such Physical Suffering - Lamentations 5:16-17 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 14, 2025
     | 163 views

    At last the people recognised their sinfulness and why they were suffering. Judah had lost its majesty and spendor. That is what sin does. The survivors were physically affected by their sin. We look briefly at Christian ministry, and then at what the Lord endured on the cross.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 45 – AT LAST THE PEOPLE OWNED THEIR SIN BUT IT HAD CAUSED SUCH PHYSICAL SUFFERING - Lamentations 5:16-17 Lamentations chapter 5 is a whole set of laments from the people and possibly from Jeremiah himself.

     | 861 views

    How is a lost person, being dead in sin, to cross over into a state of being made alive? By embracing Abraham's mind set, found in Romans 4:18.... transitioning from a SELF-hope [impossibility] to a GOD-hope [expectation]!

    OUR TEXT Abraham’s Hope in God, Perfected in God Romans 4: 18, 20-22.

    Are You Connected?

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 11,454 views

    Are you connected to Jesus? Perhaps you realize that you’re disconnected, far from him. You need to be plugged in, grafted on. Look at the cross, and discover his great love for you, to lay down his life for you.

    Opening illustration: Use an electric appliance to show how its connectivity to power, keeps it working well. Introduction: Jesus had just washed the feet of his disciples, led them through a final meal, instituted the Lord's Supper, and now walked with them to the Garden of Gethsemane, where ...read more

     | 4,588 views

    In Matthew 26:26-29, in preparation for the Cross, Jesus’ institution of the new memorial consisted of three primary elements: 1) The Directive (vv. 26a, 27), 2) The Doctrine (vv. 26b, 28), and 3) The Duration (v 29).

    Matthew 26:26-29. 26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, 28 for this is my blood of ...read more

     | 646 views

    Addiction may be strong, but Jesus is stronger. No matter how long you have been bound, the power of the cross is available to set you free. God’s desire is not only to deliver you but to give you the grace to live in lasting freedom.

    Don’t Die In Your Wilderness

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 14, 2025
     | 341 views

    The wilderness is a temporary phase, not your final destination. It is a bridge between where you were and where God wants you to be. Many have died there because they lost focus, but God’s will is for you to endure, learn, grow, and cross over.

    DON’T DIE IN YOUR WILDERNESS By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Numbers 14:26-30 Key Verse: “Surely none of you will enter the land I swore with uplifted hand to make your home, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.” (Numbers 14:30, NIV) Supporting Texts: Deuteronomy 8:2-4, 1 ...read more

    You’ll be like the Christmas tree that you remove from your house after the holidays. It is planted in a metal tree holder, the needles will fall off the moment you try to pick it up. The person who hasn’t experienced the love of Christ is nicely decorated but falls apart when handled.
