By Pastor Glenn Pease 1776 was the year the United States of America was born. It was also the year one of the favorite hymns of all time was born, and that was Rock Of Ages. The author was an Englishman named Augustus Montague Toplady. He wrote 133 poems and hymns, but they were all forgotten. This…

Using many OT quotations and allusions, Peter continues to encourage his readers in their Christian conduct.

Why Do You Seek The Living Among The Dead?

Title: THE ROLLED AWAY STONE Text: Matthew 27:57-60 Read Text. Tombs have a way of finalizing things. Tombs seal in the dead, yet seal out hope. Joseph took his friend and laid Him to rest in a tomb.

What does it have to do with “looking for the living among the dead?” How do you respond to the Easter morning message – like the women at the tomb did at first, or did later? Happy Easter!!

The second unit in the book of Daniel where we see the stone to throne.

In this sermon, Damian tells us how we can avoid becoming Ezekiel's dry bones and turn stone hearts into flesh.

God has made us His people. As living stones in union with Jesus as the cornerstone, we are the temple of the Holy Spirit, also serving as the priests in that temple offering spiritual sacrifices.

The church perseveres because Christ blesses those who trust in his grace.

Because of Jesus, we have amazing spiritual privileges.

John 20 Easter Special. Love is the Why. Don't let anything stop you at the door and keep you from finding your Jesus. He is risen!!
