Why Believe In Jesus Series

Contributed by Glenn Durham on Apr 29, 2010

God calms hearts with astounding promises to captivate believing souls.

Scripture Introduction For the disciples, quality time with Jesus in the Upper Room has not been pleasant.

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Aug 1, 2005

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

Why Jesus Came

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 18, 2014

Jesus came to proclaim the gospel to all the world. Let’s make sure we’re a church that continues his work as faithful disciples who continue to proclaim the gospel.

So why did Jesus come? Why the miracles? Why the cross? John 8 tells us about WHO He is and WHY He came...

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 15, 2018

Jesus Wept! Why? Series

Contributed by John Bartol on Aug 8, 2012

An attempt to show how Christ can identify with us in time of need. He took our sins and sorrows and made them his very own.

Why Follow Jesus? Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 16, 2012

Probably one of the most common questions people have when evaluating Christianity is: "Why should I follow Jesus Christ?" He made a lot of claims, and might even have come back from the dead, but so what? In Mark 8 and 9 we see the two reasons why you sh

With the multitude of philosophies, religious systems, and spiritual leaders present in our age, why follow a man who lived a short life 2,000 years ago in Palestine and then died? In fact, in today’s portion of the gospel of Mark, Jesus even suggests to His disciples that if they want to ...read more

Why Jesus Died

Contributed by Douglas Mcdaris on Feb 26, 2012

I want to lay aside both the crucifix and the cross as symbols of our faith, and to replace them with the very first symbol, one that was ordained by God Himself and provided by Him. The very first symbol of the significance of what Jesus Christ did for u

Why Follow Jesus?

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Sep 22, 2013

Why Jesus Came? Series

Contributed by Prasanna P on Dec 12, 2018

He is the reason for the Season. We celebrate the season because He is in us. Christmas is not receiving gifts, not asking for gifts, not Santa, not Ever green Tree, not the pomp and show of lights and all the other things..... Christmas is Jesus. Yes it is receiving the gift God gave to mankind.

It is important to know why Jesus came. He did not come to make the life on earth more comfortable. He did not come to make life more easy in your situation. He came with a purpose to this earth. Let me tell you from the Bible at least four reasons I found in my study, why He came. 1. Jesus came ...read more

Why Jesus Was Borm

Contributed by Gregory Peterson on Dec 20, 2022

Explore some of the reasons Jesus was born, often teach our children that Jesus came, but seldom do we help them understand why He came. Perhaps we have never considered this or have come up with the idea this scripture presents but not the why. Explore that today.

I. Jesus was born to save His people from their sins. This implies that each of us is guilty of sin. Romans 3:23 affirms that, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Sin has caused a separation between us and God, a complete breaking of fellowship with Him. This ...read more
