    What Will You Do With What You Have Heard-Easter Sunday

    Contributed by Walter Troup on Apr 21, 2019
     | 5,105 views

    Many people have heard the Bible story of Jesus being put on the cross, then three days later be raised from the grave. What was the purpose of all of this? And once the purpose is revealed, what will you do with it?

    This weekend we are celebrating Easter. Now the word Easter is not found in the Bible, but we know this day as Resurrection Day. This is the day in which we celebrate Jesus being raised from the dead three days later after he was put to death on a cross. As Christians, we know that this day is ...read more

    It doesn't matter whether we finish first in this race, but it does matter that we "finish pretty." Do you know what that means and what it takes to "look good" when we cross the finish line?

    OPEN: I read the true story about a group of friends that wanted to take part in one of those big 26 mile marathons. They ran together for over a year preparing for the meet. They were not trying to be big competitors in the race, they enjoyed running together and - for them – this was going to be ...read more

    The Cost Of Discipleship

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 7, 2025
     | 737 views

    Discipleship is not just about following Christ; it comes with a cost. Jesus made it clear that those who follow Him must be ready to deny themselves, take up their cross, and prioritise His kingdom above all else.

    THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Luke 14:25-33 Supporting Texts: Matthew 16:24-26, Philippians 3:7-8, Mark 10:28-30, 2 Timothy 3:12 INTRODUCTION: Discipleship is not just about following Christ; it comes with a cost.

    The hopes and expectations of those first disciples seemed to die when Jesus died on Calvary's cross. But when two disciples walked back to their homes, they received something they didn't expect at all!

    Misplaced Expectations For The First Easter? Introduction: The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ was one of the most significant events in all of history. It goes without saying that there were several different expectations when this event took place, depending on each person’s point of ...read more

    Israel quickly went from victory/ gratitude to grumbling. Moses prayed and God showed him a piece of wood (symbolic to Christ's Cross) which when thrown into the bitter waters made them sweet.

    THE LORD AT MARAH Ex. 15:22-26 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Interviewer to Millionaire: To whom do you owe your success as a millionaire? " Millionaire: "I owe everything to my wife." Interviewer: "Wow, she must be some woman. Interviewer: "What were you before you married ...read more

    The Mantle Is Yours

    God still places His mantle on faithful people who submit at God still places His mantle on faithful people who submit at Gilgal, seek at Bethel, persevere through Jericho, and cross Jordan transformed.

    Every culture understands the power of symbolic clothing. When a judge puts on the black robe, authority follows. When a graduate steps across the stage in cap and gown, years of learning find recognition. When a soldier fastens the uniform, identity and duty intertwine. The Bible also speaks of ...read more

    "I thirst" is a statement from the cross that was only recorded by John in his gospel. I believe there were at least three reasons why God inspired John to record that statement. This sermon explores those three reasons.

    Last week, we explored the fourth statement from the cross, where Jesus cried out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" This cry revealed the spiritual agony Jesus experienced as He took on the sins of the world. Today, we will focus on the fifth statement, recorded only by John in his ...read more

    Many of our interpersonal problems are actually personal, the resulting of feeling weak. Paul’s strategy was to pray for those with whom he had conflict, and that helped him become whole. The cross demonstrates the power of weakness. For Reformation Su

    When we are in trouble, our first instinct is to pray. And that’s right. That’s as it should be. The only problem is that when we are in trouble, our first instinct is to pray for ourselves.

    Did Jesus Really Die And Rise Again?

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Apr 9, 2004
    based on 40 ratings
     | 4,795 views

    The empty cross and risen Lord is the paramount doctrine upon which the believer rests his or her eternal destiny. I Corinthians 15:14 states that if Christ did not die and rise, then our preaching and faith is completely worthless.

    DID JESUS REALLY DIE AND RISE AGAIN? I CORINTHIANS 15:1-9 Key Verses: 3-4 “For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the ...read more

    It Is Finished

    Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Apr 18, 2003
    based on 150 ratings
     | 10,394 views

    Good Friday Meditation: Christ cried out, "It is finished," from the Cross. Our Lord shouldered the burden of sin and ’dealt with it.’ Jesus finished the work of redeemption and, as a result, we are assured of the Father’s forgiveness.

    “It is finished!” Was Jesus just relieved that the agony was over? Was He simply saying that, after enduring so much pain and torment – that it was finally over – that the suffering had ended. After all, Jesus must’ve been glad that now, death would bring peace and rest. After all, when a person ...read more

    The alarm that went off on September 11 is opening our eyes to the problem of individualism. The only thing that will keep us from collectively rolling over in our bed of apathy is a strong call to the cross of Christ and to genuine Christian community.

    The New Awakening Pastor Jim Luthy It has been two and a half weeks since we were awakened by the news of terrorists striking on our own soil. Since that time, we have heard that the attacks awakened a "sleeping giant." But that leads me to some questions. If we were a "sleeping giant," why ...read more

    Are We Following Jesus Or Not?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Oct 4, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,605 views

    Jesus was on the road to the cross with all that came with it - rejection and suffering. His call to follow him is absolute and he calls us to 100% commitment. This short sermon challenges us to follow him in everything we do, all of the time.

    Luke 9: 57-62 Have you ever been quoted out of context? Have you ever been misunderstood? Jesus was often misunderstood, and when we hear these shocking words from the life of Jesus we are reminded that following him requires us to always follow, and not to dip in and out of following him. If I ...read more
