How many opportunities will God give a person to respond to him? We see in the Bible numerous examples of people being given a chance to repent and be restored to God, but time after time, they reject him. Yet, he is patient. But there surely is a...

In John 12, we see that even Jesus, God in the flesh, had moments in which he was troubled and distressed. But even as he faced his impending meeting with the cross, he showed us how to deal with those times. Watch as Pastor Levi Skipper looks at John...

In John 12:20-26, we see a couple of ways in which Jesus' disciples stand out in the crowd. These are ways that we can and should stand out as well. These disciples (and we) stand out by living to help others know Jesus and by dying to self in...

We are all faced with tests and temptations as we go through life. But how should we respond to those? We can take a look at how Jesus responded in John 12:12-19. In that narrative, we see that he did not let hype distract him, and at the same time he...

In John 12, we read a story where Jesus made an appearance in a group of friends and others. In this narrative, we can see that there were several different responses to his presence there. We can learn from these responses and compare them to how we...

A hard heart can keep you from knowing Jesus. It can prevent you from seeing the truth about who he is and what he has done and will do. Do you have a hard heart? Pastor Levi Skipper shares some examples of some people in John 11 whose hearts are...

For the conclusion of the "Marriage Matters" series, we take a look at how the enemy attacks marriage relationships. Pastor Levi Skipper likens dealing with unmet expectations as to being on a "crazy train" or a "sane...

Every married couple will face forks in the road where they will have to make decisions together. While we all know that is the case, we aren't really given a blueprint on how to make good decisions. However, there are five principles taught in...

In this first message in the "Marriage Matters" series, Pastor Levi Skipper takes a look at how to find the right person to marry. However, that discussion is not what you may think. Instead, as Paul encourages in 1 Thessalonians 4, finding...

Because Adam was created first, he represents all humanity in birth. But, because of that, his sin in the Garden also passed down to all humanity, resulting in death. But Jesus, the "new Adam," represents us by faith. He paid the death price...

In John 11, Jesus' friend Lazarus died. His sisters, Mary and Martha, had sent word to Jesus to come and heal him, but he chose to wait. Why did he wait? What can we learn from that? Watch as Pastor Levi Skipper examines this text.

From God's perspective you are either a sheep or a goat. Sheep are those who are in the light, and goats are those who are still walking in darkness. What does Jesus say about his sheep? Watch as Pastor Levi Skipper discusses John 10 and how...

Throughout the Bible, there are multiple references to God as shepherd and people as sheep. In John 10, Jesus shares a parable about the shepherd's relationship with his sheep. The parable equates Jesus himself to the shepherd and the sheep as...

After Jesus gave the blind man his sight as reported in John 9, the Pharisees quizzed the man over what happened. They wanted to know the story behind his newfound sight. He was able to share his story about how Jesus changed his life in just a few...

As the story of the blind man in John 9 shows, when Jesus touches us, he transforms us completely. But what can we expect when he transforms us? First, we must recognize that our transformation is God's artwork. But then, we also must expect...

We often meet people who are very sincere in their beliefs about God and even about Jesus. But, the reality is that if their beliefs do not line up with what the Bible says, then they are wrong. The Jews had some sincere beliefs about Jesus, and he...

Freedom is something we each value and hold dear, but there is a freedom that goes deeper than a political or physical freedom. It is a freedom that every person, regardless of background, needs desperately to possess. It is the freedom of the soul...

In a conversation in the Temple during the Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus engaged the Pharisees in a conversation. In that conversation, he claimed that he is the Light of the World and that he is God hiimself. Both of these ststements were met with...

We find the story of an adulterous woman brought to Jesus in John chapter 8. In the story, we find three different responses to the situation. These responses are typical of all of us when we are brought before Jesus. We see our situations through...
