Why is Christmas a big deal? There are many in the world who do not see the birth of Christ as a cause for joy. But the New Testament makes a big deal about it. We have quite detailed descriptions of Jesus’ birth in Luke’s and Matthew’s gospel. The first chapter of John’s gospel give a more theological/philosophical…

Many will not come to Jesus because their deeds were evil. Let's consider evil for a minute.

Do you identify with Adam or Christ?

Three identifying factors of real Christianity. They may not be what you think.

Jesus has his own schedule in everything. He is good and kind and trustworthy and faithful. And He does whatever He pleases. He really does care for us, even in the seemingly small things. We may bring our request to Him at any time. Mary's final words are continually apropos, 'Whatever He says to you, do it!'. They are wise who abide in His Word. Jesus assures Nicodemus that the prophecies of Ezekiel are true and that God will give new Birth, a Birth that is from above, a Birth through His Spirit. A supernatural birth. Jesus is ready and able to rescue any who come to Him... alas, too many abide in condemnation, in wrath, for they love darkness and will not come into the light. Dear friend, if you haven't yet, please come into the light that you might have everlasting life in Him, life in He who is True Light. He has so loved the world.

We humans are all dead in our trespasses and sins. We have no life in us. It is the effectual call of Jesus, the giver and sustainer of life, that revives and enables us to trust Him. He cares not about the way of our traditions, especially those we use to put ourselves above others and to neglect our acts of service and charity (love) to our neighbor. We are those who excuse ourselves from obedience for myriads of reasons, all of which we excuse in ourselves and condemn in others. What hypocrites we are! True life, eternal life, is in the Father and in the Son, Jesus. He gives life to whomever He wills. Let us be those who diligently search the sscriptures, that we might know God as He reveals Himself through the prophets and apostles. But... let us not stop with having knowledge... let us go on to commune with Jesus, let us respond to Him, let us come to Him... and find life.

Jesus came to the guilty so that we might be saved through Him.

One of the most tedious parts of any family vacation to is all the baggage. There are suitcases, extra items such as computers, fun stuff, food, and more. It’s nice to go somewhere and stay put so you don’t have to lug the bags any more than necessary. When you are flying, your baggage has to be loaded…

Missionary S. Keene speaks to us from the life of Zacchaeus, and how his encounter with Jesus changed his life. Jesus has the power to do the same in us, and then use us to bring change to others.

Easter is the grand celebration of the Christian Calendar and for good reason. It is a celebration of a significant historical event. Easter is about a real man (Jesus) who was really killed (decisively) and then came out of His grave nearly 40 hours later, alive. He was then seen by hundreds of witnesses…

God wants us to see: 1. His rich salvation (vs. 17-18). 2. His righteous condemnation (vs. 18). 3. Man's revolting determination (vs. 19-20). 4. His royal transformation (vs. 21).

God’s Word reasons with us here about the sins of sexual immorality and covetousness. We shouldn’t practice them because we are holy ones, saints. They are out of place in a church, the body of Christ. Now, Paul gives us additional reasons to avoid these sins, and that has to do with God’s own character and our destiny in Christ as saints. The central idea of these verses is that those who walk in love like Christ must live pure thanksgiving-filled lives.

Choose Jesus Christ because He gives us: 1. Life instead of death (vs. 12-14, 17, 18, 21). 2. Grace instead of guilt (vs. 12, 15, 17, 19, 20). 3. Justification instead of condemnation (vs. 14-19). 4. Salvation instead of slavery (vs. 20-21).

We are called to tell people God's offer of salvation. When we tell people the gospel message some will accept it and some will reject it. We need to know how we should respond to each of these.

“What must I do to be saved?” [1] I fear many vital, even essential words are disappearing from common usage today. Society as a whole is becoming linguistically impoverished. Some words have been misappropriated; they will never be returned to their proper place in English vocabulary. “Gay,” for instance,…

LIBERTY IN THE LORD Based on Rom. 8:1-2 By Pastor Glenn Pease The Civil War was a complex and complicated war. Lambdin P. Milligan was one of the men who got caught up in the complexities of it, and changed the course of legal history in the United States. Milligan was a lawyer active in local politics…

“As all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Beware of the experts in the law. They like walking around in long robes, and they love elaborate greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. They devour widows’ property, and…

By Pastor Glenn Pease A crystal gazer collected 25 dollars for a reading and told the visitor, "This entitles you to ask me two questions. Isn't that a lot of money for only two questions?" Asked the startled woman. "Yes it is," answered the fortune teller. "Now what is your second question?" Many of…

LIVING GRACEFULLY (5): JUDGE NOT (Luke 6:37-38) Intro – Someone has said, “The only thing good about being imperfect is the joy it brings others.” I suppose that’s one way to look at it. But those who joy in condemning others are like the snake who asked his companion, “Are we poisonous?” The second…
