Death is something that we cannot avoid, and death is something that brings us pain and sorrow. Yet, we read in the Bible that at the return of Christ the dead will be raised, the living will be changed, and those who trust in Christ will be together, forever. This is our source of "hope" in the face of death. We look at this topic in this message.

The Bible talks about the events when Jesus returns. One of these things is the judgment of all humanity for how they lived.

What is the purpose of work? Why do we have work? Why do we have to work? Work might seem like a pain and a nuisance, but the Bible gives us good reasons why it is important.

The lives of four significant women in Genesis give us insights into our own relationships, what goes wrong, and how we can avoid many of the same issues that they encountered. In this message we will be looking at the actions of Sarah, Rebekkah, Leah, and Rachel. Four in-laws, related both by blood and marriage who, through their actions and attitudes, hurt both themselves and those around them.

In the book of Judges, chapter 4, Deborah tells Barak to go and attack the country that is oppressing their people. Barak, however, insists that Deborah go with her. Why? Was he afraid?

The Gospel accounts make special mention of the women who were present when Jesus was crucified. And, although they state that John was there, and they hint that the other apostles were there, these receive little mention. Why? What does the willingness of the women to follow Jesus to the site of crucifixion say about their discipleship, and what lessons can we learn for our own?

April 18 - 2025 - The Women at the cross

We read in the Gospels that not only did the women follow Jesus to the cross to witness his crucifixion, but also to the tomb to witness his burial. Then, after the Sabbath, they went to the tomb again. What were they looking for? What did they find? In the same way, when we come to Jesus, what are we looking for?
