Sermons on Three Kings:

Our King Jesus Easily Abandoned Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Apr 9, 2018

As Jesus makes his way to from the Last Supper to the Cross he is abandoned. Abandoned by the disciples who fall asleep. Abandoned by Judas who betrays him. Abandoned by Peter who denies him. Despite this abandonment Jesus does not abandon us.

Message Luke 22:39-62 Our King Jesus Easily Abandoned Here is a Scripture that many people find to be a great encouragement. We do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Hebrews ...read more

King Asa … His Faithfulness And Foolishness

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 3, 2022

Many make the mistake of thinking that all the things in the Old Testament no longer apply to our modern age.

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 21, 2022
