In Terminator…

Trying to Make Sense of What Doesn’t Make Sense For a few weeks we have been teaching from what Jesus taught between the upper room and the Garden of Gethsemane.

Join Pastor Steve as he shows how God reconciled sinners to Himself from 2 Corinthians 5:21.

Good Friday is a time to remember to sacrifice Jesus made to provide a path to restore mankind. Tied to Jesus' Death on the cross, we see Jesus bore the stripes to provide a means for us to receive healing. The stripes He bore are just as relevant today as the day He was brutally beaten. Let's agree with the Prophet Isaiah and the Apostle Peter, in believing By His stripes, I am healed!

Did you hear that? We finished with that phrase, did you hear that ( Jn12:28-29 )? 28 “Father, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came out of heaven: “I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.” 29 So the crowd of people who stood by and heard it were saying that it had thundered; others were…

For Life and Salvation, God Gave His Son 16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Even Death…

John's account of Jesus death focuses not so much on Jesus' suffering, but on his fulfilment of God's great plan of salvation. Finally, on our journey through Scripture, we get to see God's great plan to restore humanity into relationship with him--a relationship dashed by the first humans--accomplished by the Son of God himself.

Come celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus with us!! You are invited to worship and celebrate the great hope we have in Jesus our Messiah. Death could not hold Him down, and when you place your faith in Him, it won't hold you down either!
