We are alive in Christ. On this third Sunday of the Easter season we take our focus off of Jesus resurrected body and turn into God’s word. It is there we find the Spirit. He is the one who opens our minds to the truth of God’s love.
Alive, No Doubt About It
April 13th is the day we celebrate Thomas Jefferson’s birthday. While the founding father of our nation loved books of all kinds, you might be surprised to see what he did to the Bible. What was it about the resurrection that caused such a strong reaction from Thomas Jefferson, Greeks, Romans, and even one of Jesus’ own disciples?! Nothing can change the truth that Jesus is alive, no doubt about it.
Alive in Christ
Why is it that we need to see proof? There are so many false claims in this world. If there is one thing that we must be sure of, it’s that our God can keep his promise. Easter is the proof that God kept his biggest promise – he rose from the dead.
Palm Sunday Details
Jesus is our king. Palm Sunday is the one time in Jesus ministry when he let’s the people acknowledge his royalty. He is a king like no other, in control of everything. That doesn’t mean he ignores the small things in life. He has the very hairs on your head numbered. Hosanna to our King!
Enemies of Lent – Chief Priests
We continue our series – Enemies of Lent. The Chief Priests said, “He saved others, but he can’t save himself!” What would the world be like if Jesus had saved himself and come off the cross? Were they right? Could Jesus have saved himself? Who would ever choose to die like that?! Watch and find out how they were partially right. Also see how they were completely wrong.
Enemies of Lent – Soldiers
As we continue our series – Enemies of Lent – we will consider how the ignorance and the cruelty of the soldiers held a very important truth. “Hail, King of the Jews!” Watch how Jesus shows mercy and rules as the Prince of Peace.
Enemies of Lent – Judas
The enemies of Lent may seem an odd place to find truth. Judas is the week’s example. He betrayed innocent blood. See what he did with his guilt. See how Jesus offers us a far better solution at the cross.
Enemies of Lent – Sanhedrin
The Jews wanted to kill Jesus because he claimed to be God. As we continue our series – Enemies of Lent – we will consider the charges the Jews brought against Jesus when he was on trial. What did the Jews understand so clearly that most of the world still misses today?
Enemies of Lent – Pilate’s Wife
Pilate’s wife told her husband to have nothing to do with Jesus. She had suffered in a dream. What was the truth, the fear, and the tragedy that she expresses to her husband and to us? Watch and find out.
Enemies of Lent – Caiaphas
Normally when we think of a message from God, we wouldn’t expect it to come from an enemy. Watch to hear from the first of our Enemies of Lent – Caiaphas.
The Real Jesus Revealed
Do you know the REAL Jesus? Watch and see how Jesus reveals who he is, what connections he has, and what his mission was and still is. See why the transfiguration account is important for us as we enter into the season of Lent.
Authority Over All
Jesus reveals himself as God by showing that he has authority over sickness, Satan, and sin.
Do You Hear What I Hear?
Moses’ final four sermons contained in Deuteronomy contain harsh warnings for anyone that changes God’s word. The stakes were high. The Savior of the world was to come to these Israelites. Sometimes when people hear God’s word, all that is heard is God’s threats of the Law. It doesn’t matter what it said. Sinful man can’t stand before a holy God. This is why we so desperately need Jesus. Hear Jesus and live!
The Mantle of the Public Ministry
When Elijah extended the divine call into the public ministry to Elisha, what do you suppose was his reaction? You should know that in spite of some great outward victories for the Lord in Elijah’s ministry, just before this he was depressed and wanted to die. He was facing death threats! When Elijah put his […]
Do You Have What It Takes?
Do you have what it takes? Epiphany is a season where we see the Son of God reveal himself to the world. This Sunday we see how he did that by picking his disciples. There were no billboards or PSAs about how Jesus would be having auditions for discipleship like American Idol. He hand picked […]

Draw Near
Have you even been some place that you want to share with the world? Now days we take a selfie and share the people, places, and things we love on social media. Christmas is wonderful time, but why?
The Secret Is Out!
What is it that makes a secret? It’s not always knowledge that is hidden. God surely hasn’t hidden his message of love from the world. Secrets can be information that people simply don’t know. What secrets are there about Christmas?
