Resurrection Sunday
Pastor JoAnn shares evidence in the Bible of the incredible importance of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ: how the event affects the world; its necessity in Christianity; and why there is no debate on its significance.
Focusing on God’s Word: The Blood
Pastor JoAnn doesn’t hope to share her opinion on the Bible, but rather she wants to use her gifts to share the truth of the Scriptures to the world.
“The Word of God brings hope. The Word of God brings the faith, the Word of God brings the life, the Word of God brings the truth. Oh, we need the word of God.”
Starting in Ephesians 2, JoAnn shares the truth of the power of the blood of Jesus.
Palm Sunday and the Passover
Pastor JoAnn explains the history of the practice of the Passover supper and the prophecy of the Messiah found within it.
Being Reconciled in Christ
Beginning his study from Colossians 1, Mike shares in this message the power of reconciliation with Christ.
“This morning I’m going to talk about being reconciled in Christ. Often when we talk about that subject, we talk in the context of sharing with the lost about being reconciled in Christ—and that’s a great message, and an appropriate message, and very effective at sharing Christ with the lost; to know that they can be reconciled—but often I think we as believers forget or don’t understand what it really means to be reconciled, and who we are in Christ because of that reconciliation.”
An Examination of Prayer and the Study of an Interesting Man
“The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. Then he prayed again, and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit.” James 5:16–18 (HCSB)
“I like that phrase too [Elijah was a man with a nature like ours], because we think about some of the heroes of the old Testament, and we want to put them up on a pedestal, we want to put them up into some place of, y’know, Heroes of the Bible. Was he a hero of the Bible? Yes, but don’t ever think for one minute that he was not just as human as you or I.”
In this video, JoAnn shares the truth of how prayer can transform a person’s life through faith in Christ.
