In this brief sermon, the truth of HEBREWS 13:14 is illustrated with some of our world's disasters in 2013. While here in this world we lack sustained and problem free qualities of life, we are looking forward to our future in Christ. May these words encourage true believers to continue representing the world to come.

From Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, in the midst of thousands of people, while riding on a - never been ridden before - colt of a donkey, we can see both His humility and authority at work, as He headed toward the cross.

From the story of Mary - the sister of Martha and Lazarus - pouring out her costly oil upon Jesus' body, the truth is emphasized concerning our place and function in expressing the honor that He is worthy of, as well as our gratitude.

From the legitimate prophecy coming from the High Priest, while plotting Christ's death, we can easily see how God ultimately brings His purposes to pass, even through His enemies.

Knowing Christ as our Savior includes knowing Him as our Resurrection. In this sermon about the raising of Lazarus, Pastor Alan declares the foundation of our hope and faith as being in the person of Jesus, our Death and Resurrection.

Jesus saves and He is able to keep us saved, proving that all the glory for our salvation goes totally to Him. In this sermon from JOHN 10:22-42, you will hear the truth proclaimed concerning the keeping hand of God in the lives of His children.

After leading the formerly blind man to faith, Jesus declares Himself to be the good shepherd, which was an indirect rebuke of Israel's bad religious leadership, relating them to thieves and robbers. In this teaching, the hearer is encouraged to follow the good shepherd in every area of life, resulting in our being like Him.

From this amazing story of Jesus healing a blind man - with dirt and spit - on the Sabbath Day, the truth is told about different kinds of blindness and our need for the healing of Christ's ministry.

While declaring His divinity, Christ appeared to be blasphemous to those religious leaders who would not believe in Him. In applying the penalty for such a perceived wrong, these unbelievers began plotting His death, which would result in fulfilling God's plan for His Son to die unjustly.

Embracing the truth of this sermon will surely change the lives of all who listen. Just as the finished works of Jesus frees us from the penalty of sin, so the heeded words of Jesus frees us from the power of sin.
