    Son Rise Service

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Apr 13, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,194 views

    The resurrection of Christ was not the type of event that you celebrate once, but doesn’t change your life. It demands a change in your life. The Resurrection of Christ validates everything the Gospel claims about Christ, and it verifies everything Christ requires of us.

    TITLE: SON RISE SERVICE SCRIPTURE: ST. MARK 16:1-8 Imagine the most important thing that could possibly happen to you in your life happens, but afterward, nothing changes. • You graduate from college, but instead of going out and securing a job, you just go home and continue to live with Mom ...read more

     | 5,709 views

    Last week we looked at some events leading up to the crucifixion that had to do with brokenness. We looked at the broken seal on the jar of perfume, the broken protocol in Jesus' arrest and trial, and the broken hearts. What else was broken?

    BROKEN (part two) Recap: Last week in pt. 1 I talked about some events leading up to the crucifixion that had to do with brokenness. First, we looked at Mary breaking the seal on her jar of expensive perfume so she could anoint Jesus. She was willing to let go of something very valuable to honor ...read more

    Christmas: Why Does It Matter?

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Dec 20, 2023
     | 696 views

    Why do we do that every year? We seek to remind ourselves of this: The most important event in world history is that Jesus Christ was born. We celebrate it every year to remind ourselves... this is what life is really about.

    Advent is what Christians call the time surrounding the birth of Jesus. We light the candles on the Advent wreath each week at church as a celebration of Jesus coming into the world.

    God is very much like a runner at a track and field event, waiting for the starting pistol to fire. God is eager to hear your prayer and to answer your prayer. So dive in! Ask God for the moon. Ask Him for the stars.

    Multiply Your Zeal Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 2,958 views

    The overall shape of the Bible’s story is like a U in which events begin in perfection, fall into corruption, and painfully wind their way back to the final defeat of evil and the triumph of good. The crucial turning point is the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    Has The Resurrection Changed You?

    Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Mar 22, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,659 views

    If we aren't in awe of the resurrection of Jesus as a historical event, we may only see it as a fairytale. The resurrection is scientifically impossible, but historically true. The resurrection is history-making, earth-shaking, life-transforming, and eternity-changing truth.

    Jesus is the risen King who is victorious over death, recognized by His disciples, validated by Scripture, and enthroned over all creation. That truth changes our faith, theology, and life. The resurrection also changes our practical living. The resurrection isn't just a doctrine to believe, ...read more

     | 1,787 views

    Saul's conversion shows us that God can reach anyone and change anyone. Ananias' acceptance of Saul is a wonderful example. And Paul's reflection on the event reminds us of just how important it is to be baptized.

    Ancient Hebrews used a lunar-solar calendar, easy to observe in the sky as a new moon began a new month. Throughout the calendar year there were ritual observances of locally relevant harvests and commemorations of notable events. How is this relevant for Christians?

    The ancient Hebrew year was observed using a lunar-solar calendar with 12 and 13 months over a 19 year cycle. This was easy to observe in the sky as a new moon began a new month.

    Thanksgiving, Christmas And Providence

     | 1,790 views

    In the birth of our country and in the birth of Jesus we see the invisible, providential hand of God shaping nations and events in preparation for both; and that, more than anything else is what we need in our fractured and fragile country today.

    The call to discipleship is a call to serve as a good neighbor. This call is more than a mere social event where pleasantries are commonly shared. In the call to discipleship, we are challenged to ascend to godliness and become a spiritual friend to people in our sphere of influence.

    How did God approach us so that we would desire a relationship with HIm? The events of Palm Sunday demonstrate how God approaches us so that we would be willing to come to Him, and trust Him with our lives.

    This morning, we are experiencing a divine coincidence. It just so happens, as you all know by know, that this morning we are celebrating and remembering Palm Sunday—the day when the pilgrims to the Feast of the Passover cut off palm branches to hail and welcome the King of Israel, Jesus of ...read more

     | 342 views

    Jeremiah is faced with the scene of destruction all around and he describes different events and how they affected people and material things. When people turn from God, the inevitable must happen, and that is God’s judgement upon the existing order.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 2 – DESCRIPTION OF EMPTINESS – CHAPTER 1:4-6 Lamentations is a little studied book but we wish to open it up and see some great gems here. There are very valuable lessons and principles among the sorrow. PART [A]. ROADS AND GATES; PRIESTS AND VIRGINS ARE IN ...read more
