The Feasts Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on May 29, 2025

The thing we cannot do was accomplished on our behalf by Christ, through his sacrifice. Through our faith in that sacrifice and the transformational relationship that occurs as a result, we become holy and set-apart in the eyes of God.

Why Do We Eat And Drink His Blood? Does It Really Empower Us?

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Nov 28, 2016

Take eat and drink of my body. That is a command our Lord Jesus made. There is no getting away from it, but should we do this. Why is it relevant, and where does the power emanate? Do we need to know? Can we wriggle out of it, with consequences?

Mocking At The Blood Of Jesus Christ. Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Feb 3, 2024

Those who mock God's truth, and who follow their own desires all while claiming to be Christians, are the most dangerous kind of unbelievers.

In Hebrews 10:29, we read, “How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?” Mocking at the blood of Jesus is ...read more

The central message of John 3:16 can be compared to the donation of life giving organs. The donation requires a life, one life sacrificed can provide for several lives, there is no way to say thank-you for such a gift. John 3:16 is very similar.

Introduction This morning, we look at the shortest possible description of the whole Gospel. John 3:16 is a marvelous passage beloved by so many. Luther referred to it as the Gospel, within the Gospel, or, the Gospel within a nutshell. And such it is. This short verse of less than thirty words ...read more

When Nothing Seems Possible, Pray

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 14, 2003
