As we close out these final three chapters of Ecclesiastes, God’s purpose through Solomon’s writing becomes more clear. Time is fleeting, the end will arrive sooner rather than later, live with that truth in mind and be guided by the wisdom of God.Door Pastor Jim Jacobson

As we continue this study in the book of Ecclesiastes, one of the things that I really appreciate about it, is how honest it is. Solomon is giving it his best shot… to understand life and purpose under the sun. The more we look at these lessons, the more we see the truth that he has uncovered… that life apart from God is futile, and wisdom, even gr…

As we look at chapters 4-6 Solomon is continuing his observations and pondering of the the futility of man’s labor under the sun. What is a man or woman’s purpose under the sun, and is there anything beyond what we see under the sun? These are his real questions. They are real questions, important questions that people continue to have.…

Today we are looking at the story of the resurrection. It’s not Easter Sunday, when we would normally look at this text, however it is appropriate every Sunday. In John chapter 20 we have the events of the first two Sundays and how four specific disciples interacted with Jesus.Door Pastor Jim Jacobson

As we continue studying John’s gospel, once again we see God’s hand in every detail of the events as they unfold… all for His glory and to call attention to Jesus the Savior.Door Pastor Jim Jacobson

Last week as we were looking at this passage, we focused on how Jesus was in Control of every aspect of the situation. He was in control of His person, the means of His death, the location, the declaration, and how all of this was evidenced by prophecy. We continue to see the prophetic aspects of what He is accomplishing, but as we look agin at the…

We are going to be looking at this passage in two parts. There are three things I want to look at specifically as we see Jesus in His last moments of earthly ministry. ‌ Today we are going to examine His Control . Next week we will look at His Compassion, and the Completion of His ministry. ‌ What I want to demonstrate first is that Jesus is in con…

Rob McCrorie teaches from Matthew 5:1-16 -A believers identity in God is crucial to producing kingdom character and kingdom influence.Door Rob McCrorie

As we continue following Jesus on the long night of His mock trial the Disciples are now out of the picture, we now have only Jesus, and those who oppose Him -the religious leaders of the Jews, the crowd, and the politicians. Each one is in essence a character study we can learn from, and each one gives us a warning about behavior that we should av…

The verses we are looking at today are some of the most powerful words in the New Testament. They are hopeful and important words… to the skeptic they may seem to be the most arrogant words ever uttered. They demand our full attention.Door Pastor Jim Jacobson

As we close chapter 13, there is a lot going on… Jesus is finishing His thoughts in regard to the example of how He has just served the Disciples by washing their feet, He is addressing the presence of his betrayer, and also, He begins what is called “The Farewell Address” as He prepares His friends for what is next.…

Jesus loves and serves His Disciples, giving us a model to follow.Door Pastor Jim Jacobson

Today we are looking at one of the most beautiful and lovely stories in the bible. It’s a story that is so vivid that it appeals to all of our senses. It’s a story of worship and devotion. We are going to look at the five main characters and their roles or contributions to the story: ‌ The Work of Martha The Witness of Lazarus The Worship of Mary T…

John 11 is one of the most significant chapters in the bible. It’s the beautiful and wonderful story of Jesus’ power to raise the dead, even His friend Lazarus. More than that, it’s the picture of the God who cares, the God of compassion, Who in the person of Christ, came near.Door Pastor Jim Jacobson

Jesus clarifies His identity to the Jews with boldness for the last time.Door Pastor Jim Jacobson

Today we are looking at what is describes as the Parable of the Good Shepherd. Actually it’s not really a parable, but an allegory.

Today as Jesus continues to minister in Jerusalem, we see Him heal a man who was blind from birth. It is the story of a miracle, but the miracle leads to conversion.Door Pastor Jim Jacobson

Last week we went over the marks of a true disciple and the benefit of being a true disciple, then we began to look at the three truths that Jesus presented to those He was addressing. The three main truths are these three statements that begin “Truly, truly, I say to you…” they are in verse 34, verse 51, and verse 58. Last week we looked at the fi…

The ministry of the word comes in a variety of ways. At times it is simply teaching, at other times it is more personal in the application of it toward others. Today we are going to be looking at two different passages. First we are going to conclude John 7, and then we will look at the first 11 verses of John 8. In both of these sections we see th…

We live in a time that is filled with confusion. There are so many voices and none of them agree. This is one of the reasons we need the word of God-we need clarification. As we continue in our study of the Gospel of John, we see this same kind of confusion -too many voices, and in the midst of it we see Jesus raise His voice above the others and c…

As we finish the message that Jesus gave about bread, His words to the disciples are different than His words to the crowd and to the Jewish leaders. His interaction with them is more personal and intimate, yet not any less challenging.Door Calvary Arlington

Today we are looking at the second part of Jesus sermon on bread. As we study the bible, it is important to understand that context is critical to proper interpretation. The context of this message is the larger narrative of the gospel, but also the miracle of the miraculous provision of food-the feeding of the 5,000 with five loaves and two fish. …

As we follow along in the word of God, even though we are reading the stories of other men and women, their story speaks to us in our situation. This is one of the supernatural aspects of the word of God. It is timeless truth, and within it are lessons that are transferable. Today’s lesson is really two-part. Part one sees the disciples caught in a…
