BUT JUDAS ISCARIOT
December 20, 2020
When we find Lazarus at supper with Jesus after he is raised from the dead, we see a preview of the believer’s eternal life to come. However, Judas Iscariot is incensed as the sister of Lazarus offers expensive perfume to Jesus. This reveals the division among mankind over Jesus. One day it will be revealed that not all who seem to follow Jesus had a pure motive. What is yours?
HIM OR US
December 13, 2020
Many people refuse Jesus not for lack of signs and evidence, but rather for the cost. Following Jesus requires repentance from sin and full surrender of our lives. Caiaphas like many today sought to destroy Jesus so many would not believe in Him. In divine irony, it would be the very thing that still draw the masses to saving faith today. What do you believe?

LAZARUS, COME FORTH
December 6, 2020
Like the observers of Lazarus’ death, many will find excuses to reject the Lord. Some will fault God for sickness, poverty and war. Others will be afraid to truly confess the rottenness of their sin, buried behind the stone. In the end, all who are in the tombs will hear His voice. Some to a resurrection of life, others to a resurrection of judgment.
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS?
November 29, 2020
Many have a general faith in God. However, true salvation only comes through specific faith in Jesus. Jesus declared to Martha, “I am the resurrection and the life.” Then He asked her an eternally important question: “Do you believe this?” Our answer to that same question will determine our eternity.

PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
November 22, 2020
How do you make decisions? We all face consequential decision points throughout our lives. The Bible says that The Lord will lead in the paths of righteousness. But how? Through prayer, His Word, wise counsel and miraculous signs.

Good Soldiers
November 15, 2020 • Todd Deering
Once we come to know the Lord, we are transferred from a citizenship of this world to a citizenship of Heaven. It is at this point that we serve a new master, no longer do we serve ourselves but the one who enlisted us. Are we following Him or are we entangled in civilian pursuits?
Appointed
November 15, 2020 • Michael Fitzgerald
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. God has appointed you to carry out his will for your life and all you need to do is put your faith in Jesus Christ and start saying yes. Just as Jesus came to serve we are appointed to serve. -Ephesians 2:10 -Acts 22:6-10 -Ephesians 2:10 -Acts 22:13-16 -Phil 2:5-8 -Mark 10:45 -John 13:3-5 -John 13:12-17 -Ephesians 5:1-2 -1 Peter 4:10 -Ephesians 4:1
To Judea Again
November 8, 2020
Jesus was headed back to Judea, where people had earlier intended to stone Him. His disciples discouraged Him from returning to the place of danger. Jesus reminded them that the will of God supersedes all earthly reality. While the world may tell us otherwise, God often calls us to return to Judea again.

For The Glory
November 1, 2020
Jesus declared that the death of Lazarus was for the glory of God. Trial, sickness and death bring God glory when people praise Him despite circumstance. He is glorified when we are healed of infirmity. He is glorified when trials come as judgment for sin.
