Luke 24 is often seen as a model of the journey that Jesus makes with many of us today. Two followers of Jesus don’t even recognize their risen Lord as they walk along the road and have conversation with Him. Suddenly, their eyes are opened, and their deep discouragement turns into passion. Similarly, as followers of Jesus, we all at times will experience discouragement and apathy in our own walks with the Lord. What is the remedy to discouragement and spiritual blindness in the life of the believer? Join our Bible study today to find out.

An in-depth study of Matthew 1:21

The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is an historical fact that is unique to Christianity.  No other world religion makes the claim that their leader, prophet, or king died and rose from the dead.  People around the world are still celebrating a Risen Savior!  In Luke 24, Jesus appears to His disciples and imparts to them the same things He still imparts to us today—evidence for the head, and hope for the heart.  Listen to Pastor Gary as he shares this hopeful, eternal message of the Risen Lord Jesus!

What exactly was Jesus charged with that led to His crucifixion?  What was His crime?  There were two—BLASPHEMY and SEDITION.  The charges were not legitimate but they were trumped up by His adversaries.  The Jews demanded that Pontius Pilate release Barabbas and crucify Jesus instead.  There is an irony in that exchange that Pastor Gary explains for us in today’s teaching entitled, “We are Barabbas.”

An in-depth study of Ruth 2.

Two of Jesus’ Disciples failed Him.  One denied Him; one betrayed Him.  One recovered and was restored; the other tragically took his own life and died in his failure.  These are the stories of Peter and Judas.  Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss, but Peter wept over his denial of Jesus. Peter was broken over his sin and he repented, so Jesus was able to restore him and use him for God’s glory.  Join Pastor Gary today in our study of Luke 22 as he reminds us that God is the God of second chances and He restores broken people!

An in-depth study of Ruth 1.

For centuries Jews around the world have celebrated Passover to commemorate their deliverance from slavery in Egypt.  But when Jesus shared His last Passover with His disciples, He expanded their understanding of Passover—that it was not simply looking back to their deliverance from the slavery of Egypt, but looking forward to a greater deliverance for all people from the slavery of sin!  Join Pastor Gary for today’s teaching as he compares the Old Testament regulations for Passover to the New Testament fulfillment in Christ!
