One of the great promises that Christ’s people have from Him is that our “sorrow will turn to joy.”

Today we discuss a man of many stolen gimmicks. A man with multiple shots at the NWA title. A man who set fires, committed crimes, did prison time, and was the body guard of a Mafia boss, who went on to be a movie icon. Nick and Heidi tell the story of Lenny Montana!

The Holy Spirit speaks the things that belong to the Son, and the Son has all that belongs to the Father. There is no separation of purpose or will in the Father, Son, and Spirit.

The resurrection shows the power of God over sin, the devil, and death itself. It is important for us to know and profess “The Essential Resurrection”

The world system hates Jesus because of the words that He spoke and the deeds that He did. In His ministry on earth, Jesus pointed out the foolishness of sin and called people to repentance and faith.

Sometimes, we can try to explain our salvation in terms that leave out our relationship with Jesus. That is a grave mistake. Jesus has given to us the great and powerful cause of our salvation – His love for us.

The end of an era, the decline of the Howard Theater, the Bowsers enjoy the success of their Boston promotion, and of course a few arrests, rumors, and drama.

Jesus is the true source of life and holiness; when we abide in Christ, we will bear much fruit; and we are unable to do anything without Christ.

Peace is more than the absence of conflict – it is the sense of wholeness and calm that comes from knowing we are safe and blessed. Jesus tells us that He gives that kind of peace, a peace that the world can never give.

The Holy Spirit is the One who gives us the ability to obey Jesus’ commands and who is the assurance of the love of the Father and the Son. We must grasp and be thankful for “The Promise of the Spirit”

What did Jesus really claim about Himself? Many people are willing to admit that Jesus was a good teacher, a kind man, someone to emulate. But Jesus never described Himself in that way

Circus wrestling, Freak show questions, Intergender challenges, Angry Women's groups, and an idiot who gambled a fortune on a wrestling match.

We can get a true sense of our Lord and Savior from looking at the story of His names. The prophet Isaiah and the angel tell us that the Savior is Immanuel, “God with us,” and Jesus, “the Lord is salvation.”

As the time approaches when we remember the incarnation – how the Son of God became man to redeem His people – it is appropriate to see how the Scriptures looked forward to this event.

We often think that we can do things that are beyond our capabilities. This is bad enough when we attempt a project beyond our expertise or take on more work than we have hours in the day, but in the spiritual realm, the consequences can be devastating.

Jesus gives his “Farewell Discourse” to the disciples, giving them their marching orders for the Kingdom. It is unsurprising that the very first thing Jesus emphasizes is that love should be the hallmark of his disciples.

Judas was not the “odd one” of the disciples. He was not the one voted “most likely to betray Jesus.” In fact, he was respectable; he was the one who kept the moneybag. But Jesus knew everything.

Jesus gives His disciples a vivid picture of what it means to serve, and in that, shows them an example to follow.

Jesus is “The Savior of the World” (John 12:44-50). There is no other. He calls on you today to believe in Him, and by believing in Him, to believe in the one who sent Him – the Father.

“Why is there unbelief?” (John 12:37-43) That is a question that puzzles us. If we know that all who do not believe in Jesus will suffer eternally, why would anyone not believe? It would be one thing if someone had not yet heard of Jesus Christ, but why would anyone reject the Savior and all the blessings He brings?…
