In the Word

The Gift

A party, a drunken monarch, and a rash promise. A young woman manipulated, a mother angry, and a hideous request that ended the life of Jesus’ own cousin. While one person denied decency and right, another denied his conscience and gave a gift he would forever regret giving.

You Can Live Forever

In 1997, a woman in France died at the age of 122, the oldest verified person in modern times. Yet Methuselah lived to be 969, while Adam lived to be 930. God’s promise is that His children will live forever. Join Pastor John Bradshaw for “You Can Live Forever” and discover how the Savior who gave life to Lazarus can give eternal life to you!

Don't Judge a Book

It has often been said that we should not judge a book by its cover. Yet how often do we judge people by appearances? Many “unlikely” people have come to faith in God—a number of whom are mentioned in the Bible. As we respond to the great commission given by Jesus, it’s important that we see every person as a potential citizen of God’s eternal kingdom.

Momentum

In our personal witness and in our personal experience with God, it is important that we press forward and not allow anything to cause us to turn back. In “Momentum,” Pastor John Bradshaw discusses impediments to spiritual growth and effective spiritual witness and urges you to continue forward in your relationship with God.

The Second Coming

The hope of all the world. The return of Jesus to this world is described by Paul as “the blessed hope.” What does the Second Coming of Jesus mean to you? Learn how the message of Jesus’ return can encourage you in your daily experience and add power to your relationship with Him.

Look and Live

Before Jesus shared the most famous verse in the Bible, He spoke with a wealthy man about his need to be born again. As he spoke to Nicodemus, Jesus took him—and takes us—back to a fascinating Old Testament story that outlines the profoundly simple yet powerful science of conversion. How are we to be saved? Join Pastor John Bradshaw to learn how simple salvation really is.

Free Fall

Both bridges were masterpieces of design and cost millions of dollars to build. But they collapsed, causing terrible damage and loss of life. Just as bridges are not supposed to fall, it isn’t God’s intention that Christians fall. So what happens when you do? Join Pastor John Bradshaw for an encouraging look at how God treats those who fail and fall.

The Fiery Trial

Trials come into the life of every person born, and God doesn’t always intervene to stop them. Why does God allow trials to challenge us? How should we respond when trials come? This biblical look at the purpose of trials will grow your faith in God, help you to look past your immediate situation, and trust in Him to get you through!

Remember Lot's Wife

Given every opportunity to flee to safety, Lot’s wife turned back towards her home and turned into a pillar of salt. God still calls people to follow Him without looking back. What can we learn from the experience of Mrs. Lot and her family? And why did Jesus say, “Remember Lot’s wife”?

Forgiveness

God wants to forgive us, but He can’t forgive someone who harbors resentment and unforgiveness. Join Pastor John Bradshaw as we discuss the topic of forgiveness and its power to mend and restore a broken heart.
