Many people in the world have a mistrust of religion. How do we respond to these skeptics? In this passage of Scripture, we see Jesus fielding questions from people who were skeptical of his teaching, character, and mission. From the way Jesus responds, we can learn much for how to handle our own “Q&A” sessions.

Everybody has trials and some are meant to train us in patience and endurance. In today’s message in Hebrews chapter 12 we learn about Enduring faith by fixing our eyes on Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith we share in Christ suffering and His victory. We are to run toward the promises of God in faith and endurance as he trains us for rightiousness.

Happy New year! In today’s message Pastor Ken shares a message on how to live a life of faith that is pleasing to God from Hebrews chapter 11. Without faith it is impossible to please God! In 2012 by our faith that He is and He seeks to reward us may we live a life pleasing to Him as we grow in knowledge, agreement, and confidence in Him and His word.

In the parable of the Wedding Banquet, we learn that, right now, Jesus is preparing the party to end all parties. As we celebrate Christmas, we should be reminded of the great celebration that will take place for all of God’s people in heaven.

In an intense parable, Jesus illustrates the truth of our relationship with His Father, and what He has to say about it.

Around Christmas many get all sentimental about baby Jesus. We like baby Jesus because we can talk to Him - and He doesn’t talk back. He doesn’t tell us what to do or make us feel uncomfortable. But Jesus is the God-Man, and as grown-up Jesus He said and did things and some responded with belief and worship, and some responded with anger and accusations. What we’ll see in the text today is that it’s important for every one of us to change our minds about the authority of Jesus.

Jesus wants all people to know and worship His Father in Heaven. But there are many ways that people are robbed of that opportunity when the church does not operate according to God’s plan and design. And more importantly, God is robbed of the glory and honor due Him when we are uncareful and unfruitful. In this message, Pastor John describes four images of the church, and four ways we steal from God when we don’t operate as a church according to His plan.

Who is this? was a question asked about Jesus all through His life. He spoke with authority, forgave sins, and did mighty miracles – What manner of man is this? A genuine Church exists for the admiration of Jesus Christ! When the world sees a Church worshiping like that, they will begin to wonder and ask, “Who is this?

In a recent study, 70 million Americans said they feel “left behind” and are not living to their fullest potential. On top of that, many are dealing with unresolved emotional pain and experiences that have caused them to seriously question God. How should we respond? In our brief text today, we see that Jesus is a compassionate healer and will learn how to imitate Him as His disciples.
