Two criminals were crucified on either side of Jesus. As the crowds mocked Him, both criminals joined in the mockery. Despite the venomous hatred of Jesus, He declared from the cross, “Father, forgive them.” In the final moments of his life, one criminal repents and turns to Jesus asking for entry into His kingdom. In an instant, Jesus promises, “Today, you will be with me in Paradise.” Everyone w...

Pilate the Governor was a conflicted man at the trial of Jesus. While believing Jesus was an innocent man and wanting to release Him, Pilate also wanted to satisfy the crowd. In the end, he decided to wash his hands of responsibility and send Jesus to be crucified. Many today face the same conflict of wanting to stand with Jesus but also satisfy the crowd. Every soul must make this eternal choice....

At the trial of Jesus, the crowd was offered a choice. Pilate asked if they wanted a notorious murderer named Barabbas to be released from consequence or Jesus. Despite Pilate’s insistence that they choose Jesus, the crowd overwhelmingly called for Barabbas to be released. One may wonder how this moment affected the life of Barabbas. Only we can answer such a question, as we are all Barabbas. TURN...

The bible says that "In this world you will have tribulation", but how can we truly have joy when things are falling down around us? Does God control the good things and the bad? These are some of the tough questions that Job had many thousands of years ago and we still have the same trouble that he did. Let's take a look at the account of Job and see what we can learn about how to handle tough ti...

Jesus was asked at the trial if He was the King of the Jews. He responded by saying that His kingdom was not of this world but of another realm. This is why His servants would not rise up and fight. If the disciples of Jesus’ day did not fight for an Earthly kingdom, we should not either. Rather His mission and therefore ours as believers is to testify to the truth. The truth about God, mankind, s...

The gospels tell us that Peter followed Jesus at a distance once He was arrested. Many times we as believers put distance between ourselves and Jesus. We often do this because of our fear, love of the world and our love of sin. Like Peter, we are able to repent under the merciful grace of God and remove the distance between us and the Savior. JOHN 18:12-27 JOHN 9:20-23 JOHN 12:42-43 1 KINGS 11:1-4...

Join us for a night of hope hosted live in downtown Linden Michigan.

When Peter drew his sword and cut off the ear of Malchus, Jesus told him to put the sword away. After healing Malcus, Jesus assured Peter that if needed, He could appeal to His Father for the help of legions of angels. We often cut people with our words and actions. When we do this, we don’t trust in the justice of God, we ruin our witness to the lost, and we hurt the ones Jesus came to save. TURN...

Jesus prayed that His desire would be fulfilled for us to be where He is and to behold His eternal glory. It is through His love and grace alone that believers will be with Him. Apart from Him, mankind is destined to be separated from His presence, outside of His Heaven, and under His wrath.

Jesus prayed for all true disciples to be perfected in unity. The Bible teaches that this is a unity of mind, love, spirit and purpose. The unity of the church is the platform of it’s witness. When we drift from the mission we allow room for division which results in a failed witness to the lost. Join us as we examine the ways Jesus calls us to unity. JOHN 17:20-23 PHILIPPIANS 2:2 1 CORINTHIANS 1:...

Jesus asked the Father to keep the disciples in His Name. He asked for them to be kept from the evil one and to be set apart in the truth. It is not up to us to keep ourselves redeemed by good works and religion. The Word of God promises that believers will be strengthened against evil but not removed from it. Without the presence of His Word, our lives are inadequately prepared to withstand the s...

In the beginning God had a plan for mankind and a plan for marriage. What has the world done to that plan and how does it look different in today's world. Marriage represents something so much greater than just a piece of paper or some regal requirement. Let's look to God's Word to see how things should be.

Are all Christian are commanded to go and make disciples? What does the church in acts mean to me? What is my part in being and making disciples? Turn to Scripture: Matthew 28:18-20 Acts 2:36-47 Mentioned: Romans 8:1 John 3:16 Titus 3:5 Romans 6:3-4 1 Peter 4:10 John 13:35

Jesus warned the disciples that they would soon be scattered and leave Him alone. There are times in our own lives when we are scattered and choose to deny our Lord. However, Jesus also promised them that they could have peace only in Him. Though they would be troubled by the world, He had come to overcome the world.

Jesus said we can ask anything in His Name and God will do it when our petitions are according to His will. We can only be heard by The Father because Jesus has given us access by His blood and we have been brought near to God. Those who do not believe that Jesus possesses the fullness of God and has come forth from The Father are not saved from the wrath of God an JOHN 16:23-24 1 JOHN 5:14-15 JOH...

Jesus said, “A little while , and you will no longer see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me.” While the disciples would weep and lament at the crucifixion, the world would mock Him. But the tables would soon turn on those that opposed Him. The Word of God still warns people today who stand in mockery rather than repentance.

Jesus told His disciples that when The Helper, The Holy Spirit came, He would accomplish many things among mankind in the world. All of those things are still happening today. The Holy Spirit: Testifies about Jesus, convicts of sin, righteousness and judgment. He also miraculously guides believers as He accomplishes His ultimate purpose of glorifying Jesus.

Jesus said that if the world’s hates you, that it hated him first. The fallen world truly does hate genuine followers of Christ. They hate you because you are the light that exposes their deeds of darkness. They hate you because you represent God and they hate God and love their sin. This kind of hostility is a fulfillment of prophecy about the heart of man in his natural state. TURN-TO REFERENCES...

Christ sits down with His disciples here as gives them a commandment - To love one another. But how are we supposed to do this in life and what is the example we need to use. References: John15:12 Ephesians 5:1 1 John 3:16-17 John 13:34-35 Romans 5:6-8 Luke 6:32-36 John 15:13 2 Corinthians 5:14-15
