    "Why Jesus Wept?"

    Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Aug 1, 2005
    based on 29 ratings
     | 8,787 views

    Two reasons, "For the wages of sin is death..." Death brings tears. "The gift of God is eternal life." Faith in Christ brings hope. Unbelief brings even greater tears!

    Title: “Why Jesus Wept?” Introduction: When Jesus was told that Lazarus was sick, the disciples did not want Jesus to go to Jerusalem. The text would suggest three reasons they could have used to try to talk Jesus out of making this trip. These same three reasons are excuses people use for not ...read more

     | 2,175 views

    God never promised us a rose garden nor will all of our days be filled with sunshine, there’ll be a little rain sometimes. But nonetheless God has prepared the path and left us a map and instructions as to how to run, walk or stand as we proceed on our journey.

    Intro: I pray that today’s message will be ammunition to help you gain the advantage of the battle in life which we all will have to combat someday. Signs of that day may appear all around us. We may hear warnings from the pulpit or when we read God’s Word, or it may come as a complete surprise. ...read more

    We serve a God who is so generous and always provides more than we deserve.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: The story is told that one day a beggar by the roadside asked for alms from Alexander the Great as he passed by. The man was poor and wretched and had no claim upon the ruler, no right even to lift a solicitous hand. Yet the Emperor threw him several gold coins. A ...read more

    Why Was Jesus Transfigured?

     | 27,531 views

    When we think about the incident known as the transfiguration of Jesus, why it happened is more important than what happened.

    I heard a story recently about a terrible fire in a chemical plant. Several area fire departments responded to the blaze, and quite a crowd from the entire area gathered at a distance to watch. The media was there in helicopters and satellite remote trucks. The president of the company was among ...read more

    Why House Church?

    Contributed by B. D. B Moses on Sep 1, 2005
    based on 23 ratings
     | 12,615 views

    Priscilla and Aquila are not unknown figures in the NT. They are heroes of the first century church. Their house church was not a substandard church, but a church that was everything that God intended in the New Testament church.

    Scripture Romans 16:5 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Why am I talking about house churches? Because I think all believers should start churches that meet in homes. You may ask if I understand who are the people that I am talking to. We are nursing students and medical staff you ...read more

    Why Was Christ A Carpenter?

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 6, 2007
    based on 11 ratings
     | 6,320 views

    It was not by chance or mere coincidence that Christ was raised in the environment of a carpenter’s shop.

    In Mark 6:3 we read, "Is not this the carpenter?" I believe nothing was left to chance in the life of our Lord. Every day’s experience had been foreseen and planned in the counsels of deity before the Incarnation took place. There were no surprises for Him. He was never caught unaware. He knew the ...read more

    Why A Church Covenant

    Contributed by Don Baggett on Dec 1, 2007
    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,185 views

    Church members need to have an agreement concerning how they will conduct themselves with respect to the local church of which they are a part.

    The context of this verse has to do with the use of tongues, and other spiritual gifts, in the church. While all churches certainly need to make the Bible their standard for faith and practice, different churches tend to interpret things differently. Therefore, it is wise for a local church to ...read more

    The church is more important that you think.

    The Barna Group reports that about 10 million self-proclaimed born-again Christians have not been in church the last six months. Nearly all of these 10 million people say their faith is important to them, but their spiritual life has nothing to do with church. Bono, lead singer for the rock group ...read more

     | 8,701 views

    The lesson deals with the age-old topic of how to deal with pain, sorrow, and grief. It talks about the need to understand that God is in control, and that sometimes there are blessings contained in those heartaches we experience.

    Opening scripture: Isaiah 55:6-11 I can remember very well the days that all of my children were born. They were special days, obviously. But the days my last three were born were had a little extra kick because I was able to be in the delivery room, to be there when those 3 took their first ...read more
