HOPE HAS COME (PART 2)
HOPE HAS COME (PART 1) LUKE 1:26-38 Most people can endure just about anything – if they have HOPE. Jesus brought hope to a hopeless world – then and now.

DEVILED HAM
DEVILED HAM LUKE 8:26-39 When Jesus showed in various situations in the New Testament, things happened. In this passage, the demoniac changed when Jesus arrived on the shore of his hometown. Today, Jesus’ presence still changes things. Things happen when we acknowledge His presence. In this message, Dr. Nick Daniel explores some things that might happen and our options in responding to them.
LET’S SET THE WORLD ON FIRE FOR JESUS’ SAKE
LET’S SET THE WORLD ON FIRE FOR JESUS’ SAKE LUKE 5:27-32 Jesus, the Light of the world, has called us to be salt and light as well. Jesus so often loves and does exactly the opposite of us, loving those we would not love, recruit, or share the gospel with. As His disciples, we must follow his example and step out of the darkness of our own comfort zones and “carry the light of Jesus” to a lost and dying…
Zacchaeus: A BIG SINNER WITH A BIGGER GOD
A BIG SINNER WITH A BIGGER GOD LUKE 19:1-10 Zacchaeus was a tax collector who his contemporaries despised, yet Jesus sought him out and spent time with him. After being with Jesus Zacchaeus was transformed. Zacchaeus repented, which led to his restoration and restitution to those he had cheated. He was small in stature but became a giant in the faith. Like Zacchaeus, we are all sinners in need of the grace of the Lord Jesus. We wash our hands…
THREE CROSSES AND A CAVE
THREE CROSSES AND A CAVE LUKE 23:26-46 Christ, our Lord, is risen today! As we celebrate the victorious resurrection of Jesus Christ, we think of the three crosses on Mt. Calvary: a cross of rejection, a cross of reception, and a cross of redemption along with a deceived sinner, a decided seeker, and the delivering Savior. Think about how quickly Jesus can change a life, making it not just fit to live but fit to live in heaven with Jesus!…
BENT AND BROKEN
BENT AND BROKEN Luke 13:10-17 Have you ever felt bent and broken? Perhaps now? The message today is about Jesus healing a desperate lady who had been physically bent and broken for 18 years. That which Jesus did for this lady physically, Jesus wants to do for you and me spiritually. When we are utterly powerless, bound and shackled, unable to stand, we need to remember that nothing is impossible with God. God has His hand on your life. He…
REPENT! A CALL TO ALL, Part 2
REPENT! A CALL TO ALL, Part 2 Luke 13:1-5 Is repentance essential to a follower of Jesus Christ? The obvious answer is yes, but sometimes it is lacking in real everyday life. The enemy of our souls wants us to duck behind our shame and guilt, deny or ignore it, and go on with business as usual. Gradually this hardens our hards to the Lord and opens our minds to compromise with sin. Repentance is essential. What is in our…
