     | 1,050 views

    We look at another reaction to Jesus’ claims from the Jewish crowds. The Jewish crowds had four false beliefs about Jesus. These beliefs are still prevalent in today’s society.

    Last time we looked at how to overcome any mocking or unbelief when it comes to us being Christians. We looked specifically at the response of Jesus’ half-brothers. Tonight we look at another reaction to Jesus’ claims from the Jewish crowds. The Jewish crowds had four false beliefs about Jesus. ...read more

  • The Authority Of Jesus Christ Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Nov 23, 2022
     | 1,541 views

    Jesus Christ is central in our faith. The Old Testament looks forward to Jesus Christ. It has an attitude of anticipation. In the New Testament the really big claim is for the supreme authority of Jesus Christ.

    When I was in college one of my courses included outdoor repelling down a sheer cliff. This is not what you normally do in college. We were not reading about repelling and answering questions, we were out on rocks. The first lesson to repelling is check the ropes. Do not take for granted that ...read more

    All religious books claim to be the word of God, but prophecy sets the Bible apart as having God’s seal of authentication. This section looks at the destruction of Tyre and Jesus’ declaration of His fulfillment of prophecy.

    How Prophecy is fulfilled. (Part 3 of 6) Destruction of Tyre Look at Ezekiel 26: 3 "Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: ’Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up. 4 ’And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre and ...read more

  • Free At Last

    based on 21 ratings
     | 5,568 views

    Funeral sermon for Yvan Vital, Haitian freedom fighter. We lose our freedom if we allow ignorance and apathy to take us over; but to learn and to feel is to claim the justice that God will complete.

    I God has made us free. That’s the very essence of what God did when He created us. He made us free. He gave each of His creatures a measure of freedom, limiting them to a degree, of course, but nonetheless free. The eagle that soars in the sky, the great whale that plays in the ocean, the ...read more

     | 5,121 views

    We claim to know too much, as we want to make ourselves elite, we want to close off new ideas. Know nothing but the servant heart (a sermon for deacon ordination).

    The psalmist says, “He has put a new song in my mouth.” And so I took that very literally and composed a new song for church today. Do you want to hear me sing it? It’s called, “Blessed ignorance, Jesus is mine” You say you don’t think you know that one? You say you think I got that wrong? ...read more

    Since the Passion has been released, critics have claimed that Mel Gibson presented too nice of a Pilate. So who was the real Pontius Pilate? This is what we examine in the text of this sermon.

    As you know, since the movie the Passion has come out there has been a storm of controversy. One of the points of controversy about the film is that Mel Gibson didn’t portray a Pontius Pilate that was malicious enough. So on pondering this, I decided to try to research who the real Pontius Pilate ...read more

  • Get Off Of My Porch

    based on 136 ratings
     | 10,184 views

    I had a very animated professor at Bible college by the name of Dr. Emert. He taught us about the danger of blaspheming God's Son by claiming that He is anything less than God.

    Get Off Of My Porch! Isaiah 5:20-25 20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and ...read more

     | 5,651 views

    In terms of God’s promises to Abraham, we claim that we are indeed hair of Abraham. But the question is—are we heir in the spiritual heritage of Abraham? Are we heir in the call and journey of Abraham?

    December 7, 2002 I. Introduction: Within the Christian tradition, one of the truths that we share with our Jewish and Muslim brothers is the understanding that we are heir of Abraham. And we readily apply this understanding to the promise that God gave to Abraham. As God had indeed blessed ...read more

    Have you ever been on a spiral staircase? When we lived in Lancaster we would often visit Prospect Mountain where there was a stone tower about 45-50 feet high.

    We commemorate Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection annually and claim to personally experience the resurrection of Christ in our own lives. If however there is hostility toward the church and organized religion, something about the resurrection of Christ

    • I showed a comic slide to start, which asked the question, "Did anyone hear what the chairman of the board’s parting words were?"

  • The Danger Of A "Good Enough" Faith

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 28, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,816 views

    This message focuses on the abundance that Christ wants to do through His servants and the "good enough" mentality of many people claiming faith. It focuses on the verse speaking of "everyone who has will be given more."

    What This Is NOT Saying: “Jesus is a reverse Robin Hood” – because this is not about our money, but our responsibilities. - Luke 19:13, 16, 18, 24. - v. 24 makes the master (i.e. Jesus) sound like a reverse Robin Hood, taking from the poor and giving to the rich. - vv. 13, 16, ...read more
