Because He Went Through

Contributed by Elizabeth Mccaskill on Oct 28, 2004

so many of us sit around and talk about what we cannot not do; and how we can not make it; but you need to know this morning, that Jesus has already made a way for us to make it through any situation we may face.

When we read the Book of John, we find that it is different from the other three Gospel. The first three gospels Matthews, Mark, and Luke are called synoptic gospels.

Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 20, 2005

Abraham faces his biggest challenge yet. And through it God shows a wonderful picture of Jesus Christ through the sacrifice of Isaac.

Abraham didn’t wake up one morning and say "Oh, I better get my prayer life in order - today’s a big test day from God." We don’t get that chance either - and our relationship with the Lord needs to be in order so that on any day a test comes - we’ll be ready. We learn today about the nature of ...read more

Jesus Is Coming Back

Contributed by Johnny Small on Jun 23, 2004

We have won the victory through Jesus Christ, but why aren’t we living that way?

Jesus hung on that cross and took on our sins and rose from the grave on the third day, He declared victory over death, hell ...read more
