    Reasons For The Resurrection

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Apr 25, 2017
     | 7,862 views

    Today we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. We rejoice that he who was dead is now alive. But why did he come back to life? What was the purpose behind it? What was to be gained by it? What did it show? What did it prove? What did it mean for us?

    Jesus’ ministry on earth revolved around serving others. This is why He healed people and taught people and, ultimately, died for people. The night before Jesus dies, He gives His disciples a lesson on service. What can we learn from Jesus' service?

    Opening Remarks and Introduction A few weeks ago, we started a new Bible study called The Red Letter Challenge and have followed that study with a matching sermon theme. For the past two weeks we’ve looked at the first two chapters of Being and Forgiving. Tonight, we’ll continue the series with ...read more

    Jesus The Great I Am

     | 6,104 views

    Many people have claimed that Jesus never claimed to be God. Those people are dead wrong. Jesus actually claimed to be God and He did so repeatedly. In fact that is why the Jewish religious leaders were so angry with Jesus. He wouldn’t stop doing it.

    Jesus the Great I Am Exodus 3:14 John 18:1-8 Philippians 2:6-11 Revelation 1:8 Today I want to show you how you can prove that Jesus claimed to be God by using His own words from the Gospel of John. Using a highlighter you can become a witness for the Lord. This is the easiest witnessing you ...read more

    God's power flows in some ministries and doesn't flow in other ministries. WHY? There IS an explanation. Using Peter's miracle at the beautiful gate, we can detect 4 key reasons when and where God's power will flow.

    WHERE GOD’S POWER FLOWS Acts 3:1-10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Five-year-old Becky answered the door when the census taker came by. She told the census taker that her daddy was a doctor and wasn't home, because he was performing an appendectomy. 2. "My," said the census taker, ...read more

    As I was preparing for this Resurrection Sunday Sunrise service, the question that kept coming to my mind was: “Why in the world would someone want to get up so early on this Sunday morning?” And then the answer came to me people get up early when there is something very important going on

    Building A Gracious Life

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jun 2, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,687 views

    the reason for why we need to build up God’s house from the inside as a house of grace is because if were not living in God’s growing, transforming, liberating, sustaining, restoring, and amazing grace, and then extending the same grace to others, then we’re living outside the will and way of God.

    Building God’s House “Building a Gracious Life” Let me start today’s message in a way that I normally wouldn’t, and that is to give the conclusion at the start, and then take the time to see how it works itself out. And here is the conclusion, the reason for why we need to build up God’s house ...read more

    WHEN WE CONCLUDED OUR LOOK AT THE END OF PHILIPPIANS CHAPTER ONE LAST WEEK, WE NOTICED THAT PAUL WAS APPEALING FOR OUR ONENESS AS FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST. HE OPENS CHAPTER TWO WITH FOUR REASONS WHY WE SHOULD LIVE IN HARMONY – CLOSE HARMONY WITH EACH OTHER.

    Israel had repeatedly witnessed God’s power; why were they intimidated? It’s a perception problem called low self-esteem, and it’s how the enemy prevents you from winning. The Israelites quickly forgot their Red Sea deliverance...

    Seeing Yourself As God Does Numbers 13:1-2, 30-33NKJV A man in the prairie observed an eagle fatally wounded by gunshot. He writes: “With his eyes gleaming…he slowly turned his head, giving one last…longing look towards the sky. He’d often swept those starry spaces ...read more

    -Love is one of the main themes of Advent. Love comes from God. God Himself is love. Why did God send us a Savior? Love! John 3:16 – For God so loved the world…. Jesus is God’s expression of love to us!

    The Greatest of These… 1. This is love… 1 Corinthians 13:1-8 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that ...read more

     | 8,343 views

    Just like we have to eat physical food several times a day in order to live, we need to receive spiritual food on a regular basis. That is why many of us attend services every week--because we need to receive the spiritual food offered by regular worship.

    Imagine for a moment that you're part of the crowd in the story of the miracle of the loaves and fish. You've been listening intently to Jesus' words all day. You've traveled a long distance. It's been a long day, you're tired and hungry, and you realize that you didn't bring anything to eat. You ...read more

    One of the most difficult things for Christians to do is to wait on God. Why is it this so important? This my friend is exactly what God wants us to do, … to wait, that way he can change and develop us more into what he wants us to be. Read on and enjoy!!!

    Welcome Today we continue our study into the New Testament, and move onto 2nd Peter, and it is amazing that we will cover similar ground to that of Paul in Thessalonians. The theme of today’s service is on waiting, … that is waiting on answered prayer or the promises of God; and ...read more

    Why Jesus saved me, I have NO idea. It surely wasn't because I was a good person. The story of David's love for his best friend Jonathan is shown in the love shown toward Jonathan's son Mephebosheth. This beautiful story shows how God saves anyone!

     | 6,060 views

    Birds and flowers are two of the small creations Jesus cites as examples of God's care and provision. His idea is, "If God cares about them, how much more does He care about you?" So why are we worrying?

    WORRY? THAT’S FOR THE BIRDS! Matt. 6:25-34 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A guide was conducting a group of tourists around the Empire State building. On the elevator ride to the 102nd floor, a nervous woman asked, "What if these elevator cables should break? Would we go up or down?" ...read more
