John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” We live in a world where peace has come to mean that we are not trying...
The Lord promised His disciples that He would come again, and receive them unto himself; “that where I am, there ye may be also”. The day is coming when these unredeemed bodies will be replaced with glorified bodies. And we will live on a restored and renewed earth where we...
Pastor’s Point: Stop Worrying: Our text focus comes from John 14: 1 “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.” The disciples are very upset and confused, why? Because Jesus has told them that He’s going away. Troubled hearts are a consequence of living...

When reading the story of the triumphal entry we are amazed at the manner in which Jesus chose to present Himself as the King of Kings. One might expect to see Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a great white stallion, dressed in Kingly apparel. This was not the case, in...
