Remove Excuses

The Value Of Christ’s Kingdom

The salvation of Christ is a gift freely given but that does-n’t mean that it is worthless or cheap. Jesus want us to appreciate just how valuable this gift is. It is worth suffering. It is of greater value than even our life. It is a blessing above all others.

Jesus Stands Alone

Tuesday February 25, 2020 Text: Matthew 17:1-9 Speaker: Pastor Matthew Ude Festival: Epiphany / Transfiguration Passages: Matthew 17:1-9

When they looked up they saw Jesus alone. No more mountain. No more trying to climb to God. Jesus came down to us. No more voice of the Father. No more terror in the presence of God. Instead God became man and came down to be with us. No more Moses or Elijah. The law was gone. The prophets were gone. Jesus alone stood in their place.
