Jesus Stories

There are many misunderstanding about why your prayers are heard. Let's look to the scriptures for answers. God wants to hear your prayers.

Our prayers are powerful. And we have the privilege of cooperating with God in the work of changing the world.

God has an amazing plan for demonstrating His glory. At the present time He will display His wisdom by demolishing the devil's works using you. Salvation is the only required qualification.

If some make the Christian faith out to be comparable to other religions the claim of the resurrection sets it apart. The divine nature of Jesus and the insistence in His resurrection, set it far apart from others. The credibility of those claims can be built on solid logic. Come and see.

Jesus came to Jerusalem for the last time. He revealed Himself to be the long awaited Messiah. In doing so, He awakened the hopes of the peoples, even though they did not yet understand His mission. For us that is hope sure and more clear. We have hope because of Jesus.

If the claims of Jesus are taken seriously it is obvious that He believes He is the Lord of all, God Almighty. But such a ridiculous claim must be backed by fantastic proofs. The scriptures written hundreds of years before the life of Jesus provide proof.

It seems unreasonable to murder a good guy, seems down right evil. But if we listen to Jesus speak, His words paint a very disturbing picture for the first century religious Jewish mind.

Jesus seems like a great guy on the surface. But if you look a little deeper there are certain ways He can rub people the wrong way. And if we are honest it's not just other people.

God gives each person individual responsibilities. It is good to ask, "What is my job?" If we don't, the world or our own desires will have us chasing other things. Those things will eat up our time and energy that should be focused on our God given stewardship.

Paul did a great job dealing with loss, suffering, persecution and trials. Christians today have to read books about such things. We are so far removed from them. It is good for us to examine ourselves, asking ourselves "Will I let this go if God asks for it?" Would I suffer the loss for the kingdom's sake?"

It is important to have a biblical understanding of how God relates to the Jews and how the church should relate to them.

It shouldn't be awkward to talk about race, specifically when you are speaking against it. Christians are called to a higher calling. Not harming people is fine, but we are called to love people

Walking shouldn't be hard. It should be natural. God wants our good works to be as natural as walking. Why isn't it?

What is our life and faith built on? Have we built any additions with poor materials? It is good to look at the foundation and examine our life.

We may feel like a sack of garbage. But God is the great artist who is turning our mess into a masterpiece.

If we consider that God did not have any obligation to us, to save us from the consequence of our sins, it reframes the incarnation and suffering of Christ. The love shines all the brighter when we know He didn't have to save us. What a great Love!

The greastest gift given. The only gift that matters. The most costly of the gifts. The most underappreciated gift. The gift of eternal life in Christ Jesus.

Every once in a while we should reflect on the key elements of our salvation. Maybe we need to be reminded that we don't have to flap our arms. 

The gospel or even the Christmas story doesn't have the impact it should unless we understand and acknowledge our situation: We were dead!

There is an uneducated and anemic idea that Jesus was something lower than God. Some think an ascended man, other a celestial being, and more theories still. But the witness of the Old and New Testament leaves no wiggle room in the discussion. Come see the glorious Jesus.

We are praying that you would understand on a spiritual level how surpassingly great is the power that in you by the presence of the Holy Spirit.
