There is a genuine problem in the life of the modern church: a lack of true discipleship. Discipleship means giving up everything to follow Jesus.

The resurrection of Jesus from the dead brought to an end the power of our common enemies — sin, death, and the devil. Life for the people of God should be pleasant, a mere step away from heaven. The victory is complete, and it is ours. But it seems like the battle continues to rage in the form of tests…

Easter. If it were not for this time of year, where we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection, what hope would we have?

Resurrection, New Creation The key event for Christians is the Resurrection of Jesus. That’s why Paul can proclaim in 1 Cor 15:17 “17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.” Jesus’ Resurrection is the key event that all of Christianity is built upon. In…

The Sabbath has ended. The special sign that God gave to Israel, the Sabbath, was over. The day was for physical rest, refreshment, but for Israel it was never meant to be what it had become. /the Pharisees and scribes had added enough restrictions that it became a day of bondage instead of blessing.…

One of my professors when I was in school always encouraged us to put ourselves in the story. What do you see? hear? smell? taste? feel? And its worth doing. Imagining what it would have been like to physically be there focuses our mindset to take in more of the details. To take note if you will, to…

1. Jesus seeks His fearful disciples, v. 19. The evening of this very eventful day, the first day of the week. It has been a day of unanticipated testimonies of those who say they have seen the crucified Lord alive. Jewish time reckoning, which follows an evening then daytime format, would have moved…

Today I want to tell you a story. In fact, this is the way that Jesus used to teach his hearers a lesson, but he called His stories parables. Would you turn with me today to Luke Chapter 15. I want us to look at 3 stories but one in particular. Out of all the parables there are some that are very well…

It is Easter Sunday and a church member named Mary pulls into the church parking lot. There are a few cars already parked but most spaces are open. She remembers a time when you had to get to church extra early on Easter in order to find a parking space and this thought acts as a single cloud on an otherwise…

The Ghost In the Room: October’s Theme The end of October has so much attention on ghosts, ghouls, witches, demons, devils and death. You already know that stuff, of course. You can’t escape it.

What is the one thing you fear the most? Ever been so afraid you could not move? Frozen in fear! Zip line — Frozen Fear can either prevent us from doing something...going forward...or it can motivate us to something... The “freeze” response occurs when our brains decide we cannot take on the threat nor…
