    Based on Rev 22:12-end and John 17:20-26. The invitation at the end of Revelation is made to the Great Feast, and we as a church should set aside pride and in unity reach the lost with the Gospel of Christ.

    Behold, I come quickly. I was told a story long ago about a preacher preaching on the second lesson this morning from Revelation 22, and Christ’s words “Behold, I Come quickly.” A new preacher, fresh out of seminary, was so nervous about delivering his first sermon that ...read more

    Jesus was not just a good man with a good example to share. He was something much more. Jesus was the substitutionary sacrifice we all need because we sinned against God and cannot offer a sufficient payment to cover our debt.

    Why Did Jesus Have to Die? I can see why the good actions of Jesus may cause some people to emulate him. I can even see that it may lead to better lives, but I cannot see how His example can change their hearts! Alan Scholes, a former agnostic testifies from his experience: “I had often heard my ...read more

    The death of Jesus was not by accident or by surprise but rather was a part of the plan of the Father to redeem the world

    Why did Jesus have to die? There was a greater purpose for the death of Jesus than many people realize and I do not believe that the movie truly pointed to this enough. However, the first scene Satan tells Jesus that no man can bear the world’s sin. This was the purpose of Jesus coming to this ...read more

    Why did Jesus have to die? If God is a God of love why would he ever let his own son die such a horrible death? Some critics say that the crucifixion is nothing more than a romantic story of a man who was going through an identity crisis. What do you beli

    I have never been able to entirely shake this story out of my head. There once was a man who worked in a small town as the operator of a drawbridge on a river.
