The Glory of the Resurrection
Death has come. Deep within the tomb is darkness. A sealed tomb designed to never again see the light of day. God was not done yet; the work of Christ his only begotten son was not yet complete. Three days had passed and Jesus had taken the keys of death, hell and the grave from […]
Glory of the Cross
The cross a horrible tool of torture and death. It is designed to bring shame, pain and an agonizing death that would take hours.

Five Days to the Cross
Yesterday Christians worldwide celebrated Palm Sunday. As the culmination of Jesus earthly ministry drew to a close he enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey.

Community of Church
From Genesis to Revelation the Bible tells of God building a people. God does move on us and cares for us individually; however, he has created us to live in a community. It seems to be the thing today to talk about how hypocritical Christians are. Even we Christians seem to relish in tearing down […]
