Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem teaches us some important lessons about a life committed to God.

Jesus Loves The Church

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Feb 8, 2005

Jesus loves the church very deeply. He is faithful and committed to His church, despite our failures. Let us (1) love the church the way He loves her, and (2) understand our need of the church for our growth.

(Most thoughts in this sermon taken from Joshua Harris’ book ’Stop Dating the Church’.) How does Jesus see the church? The passage in Eph 5 is usually heard at weddings - about the love between husband and wife. This is right and good, but these verses also reveal a lot about what Jesus thinks ...read more

Life's More Than A Coincidence Series

Contributed by Terry Blankenship on Feb 27, 2008

Life seems to be full of coincidences. I really believe that life is really full of God-cidences. That is where God reveals Himself to us through His mighty works, marvelous wisdom and matchless ways.

Life’s More Than a Coincidence It came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove. Then a voice came from heaven, "You ...read more
