    The Elegant And Meaningful Message Of The Book

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jun 1, 2021
     | 1,309 views

    There is so much noise surrounding the Bible. There is so much rhetoric. There is so much bias. There are so many skeptics, with so many things to say. But when you actually open up the Bible and read it, wow. Just wow.

    1 Peter 1:3-9 (NIV) 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven ...read more

    Got Faith?

    Abraham and Sarah point us to a kind of faith that can help us make temporary sacrifices for our heavenly home. This faith opens up our eyes to God's activity. And it actually makes God proud of us!

    Hebrews 11:1-2, 8-16 Got Faith? Remember the old milk commercials, with famous people wearing milk moustaches? The caption at the end simple said, “Got milk?” It was catchy. It grabbed your attention. So I thought about that when it came to naming today’s sermon. We’re looking at the famous 11th ...read more

    On The Third Day

    Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Mar 2, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,226 views

    Today, we are going to open the Sacred Scriptures of Almighty God and relive the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today, we are going to remind ourselves of the truth of the Resurrection. Today, we are going back to the third day.

    The resurrection story is captured in three words, "He is risen". Christianity rises or falls on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead, our faith is a colossal fraud, it's a masterful hoax. If Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead, the songs ...read more

    Two Mountains: A Choice Between Fear And Grace

    Contributed by Jessie Manuel on Aug 18, 2025
     | 428 views

    Gracious God, as we open Your Word today, let it speak to our hearts and transform our minds. Help us to see the difference between the old way and the new way, between fear and grace, between bondage and freedom.

    Church family, I want you to imagine standing at the foot of two mountains. One mountain is shrouded in darkness, smoking with fire, echoing with the sound of thunder. The other mountain is bathed in light, filled with celebration, where angels sing and the righteous have gathered. Today, the ...read more

     | 172 views

    Despite our current limited understanding, God promises we will one day see Him clearly, fully known and loved, reunited and whole in His presence.

    If you’ve ever peered through a fogged-up bathroom mirror and tried to make sense of the face staring back, you know the feeling. Shapes are there. Outlines are there. But clarity? It waits. Life often feels like that—hints without the whole picture, music through a wall, daylight under a door. We ...read more

    John's Questions; Jesus' Answers

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Nov 9, 2000
    based on 146 ratings
     | 16,967 views

    Sometimes Jesus gives us answers we don’t want to hear...sometimes He answers the questions we should have asked.

    I want you to consider John the Baptist. It is so easy for us to take a cursory look at this man, as we pass through the early chapters of the Gospels, and move on to study the ministry of Jesus with no more thought given to the Baptist, other than remembering him as the one who had the solemn ...read more

    The Approachableness Of Jesus

    Contributed by John Lowe on Nov 25, 2013
     | 6,682 views

    Our Lord Jesus is said to be the Mediator between God and man, which implies that he should be approachable. He must be available to both the parties. If Jesus is the perfect mediator, he must be able to come to God, and then he must approach man.
