He is Risen
Psalm 22:1-28 Once again, we are looking at the event of the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. But we are looking with an eye towards the prophecies that God provided so that we would all know that Jesus is truly the Messiah the world was waiting for. Scriptures Referenced Genesis 49:10 Isaiah 53:6 2 Samuel 22:50 Exodus 12:3 Luke23:34 Numbers 24:17 Isaiah 53:10 Psalm 18:49 Luke 19:45-48 Matthew 24 Psalm 2:6 Ezekiel 3:4-6 Isaiah 11:10 Matthew…
How Were We Supposed To Know?
Matthew 21:1-10 The coming of the Messiah was prophesied long before the famous Triumphal Entry of Jesus Christ, but scholars have shown that God’s plan for Jesus entry into Jerusalem to announce the coming of His Kingdom proves that Jesus arrived at the exact point in time God’s plans predicted His coming. For this Palm Sunday message, we look at some of the prophecies that predicted His coming so that we can rest assured that God has everything completely under…
Hypocrisy, Hypocrisy, Curiosity?
Mark 12:13-34 When we seek God, we need to do it with good intentions and without hypocrisy. When our search for God is only to find Him and demand that He bend to our will, our bad intentions will lead to difficulty and struggle because God is sovereign and His will is what matters.

What Were You Expecting?
Mark 9:30-37 At the core of our relationship with Jesus is something we call discipleship.

Being His disciple gives us the opportunity to learn from God, Himself what life should be like, what good character is and what He means when He teaches us about truth. Scriptures Referenced Matthew 17:22 Mark 8:31 Isaiah 53 John…
Help My Unbelief
Mark 9:14-37 One of the hardest parts of having a mountain top experience is having to come back down and rejoin what we perceive as the real world. When Jesus was transfigured and He and His closest followers came back down, the rest of the disciples were arguing with some of the scribes. It sort of refocused the discussion off from what happened on the mountain and on to the more practical issues people were struggling with. Soon, we may…
Blessed is the King
Luke 19:28-44 When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, it was a tremendous fulfillment of prophecy, exactly when and how God said it would happen through His prophets. When this happened, it should have meant something to the people that claim everything in scripture has meaning, but they missed it. And the week between the entrance of our Lord and King and the cross was full of life and activity. Scriptures Referenced Matthew 21:4-5 Daniel 9:24-26 Zechariah 9:9 Psalm…
