    5. Is Baptism Important?

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jan 30, 2020
     | 5,697 views

    We often don't give baptism the importance we should. We look at why baptism is important.

    5 Is Baptism important? Mark 1:1-13 Mark's gospel starts with John the Baptist baptising and then goes straight onto Jesus being baptised. So, it’s natural to talk about baptism! Baptism is a somewhat controversial subject as different churches and denominations hold different views on ...read more

    If Jesus were to ask you, why are you following him, how would you respond. This message looks at the two thieves who were crucified with Christ, and what they wanted from him.

    What Do You Want From Jesus? Proverbs 9:10-12 Luke 23:32-43 Have you ever tried to use deception to get what you wanted. You told someone something good about themselves, because you had plans for later. It could have been a statement, “Mommy I Love You, You’re the best Mom in the ...read more

    Many times we end up doing things for the wrong reasons I thought it would be a good time to explain why we take communion every week

    A church had an unusual ritual every Sunday morning. • Before the church sang the Doxology, they would stand up, • everyone would turn to the right and face a blank white wall, • and they would sang. • Every Sunday they did this • Finally a visitor to the church was confused and asked, • “Why ...read more

    Why We Call It Good Friday

    Contributed by Kevin Cummins on Apr 7, 2008
    based on 8 ratings
     | 13,938 views

    The day we call "Good Friday" was a pretty gruesome day. So how can we call it "Good Friday"? I believe we have four reasons why we can.

    Here we are again gathered for what we call a “Good Friday” service. I’ve always thought as a kid and even into young adulthood that it was such an odd name for this day. After all what happened on that day in so many ways wasn’t good, it was a tragedy. There was an innocent man railroaded. ...read more

    How the centurion and the soldiers said, "surely he was the Son of God," after Jesus had died.

    April 9, 2004 Matthew 27:45-54 From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. 46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?”—which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 47 When some of those standing there ...read more

    My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me? Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 14, 2021
     | 5,780 views

    While we may understand the words Jesus spoke in this statement, we lack the ability to comprehend the enormity of His words and the actual context in which He spoke them. He was forsaken so we could escape being eternally condemned and forsaken.

    My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me? Mark 15:33-36 We have spent the last three weeks considering the sayings of Christ upon the cross. Up until this point we have witnessed the awesome grace and mercy of our Lord as He prayed for forgiveness, promised salvation, and made provision for ...read more

    Gethsemane Series

    Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Sep 1, 2023
     | 1,290 views

    The cross wasn’t a tragic mistake. It didn’t “happen” to Jesus. He wasn’t a victim of circumstance. Jesus died because He deliberately chose to lay down His life – and he made that choice at Gethsemane. The war was not over, but the battle was won at Gethsemane.

    September 02, 2023 Today we are going to conclude the Gospels section of our series with Gethsemane. The Passover meal was over. Judas had left the group to make arrangements for the betrayal of Jesus. Now as the little party made their way to the Mount of Olives, Jesus made a startling ...read more
