We Must Die With Christ If We Want To Rise With Him (#719, Palm Sunday)
The King who enters triumphally into Jerusalem has come to die for His people. We cannot separate the Resurrection from the Crucifixion. Everyone wants to celebrate Easter, but how many of us are willing to celebrate Good Friday? [AUDIO]
The Dead Will Rise (#718, Lent 5)
It’s never too late for Jesus. The whole world will know that Jesus is Lord when he returns on the last day to raise the dead. That’s what Christian funerals are all about. But you can experience the Resurrection now by inviting Jesus in. (2 Apr 2017)
The Savior Asks You, a Sinner, For a Drink (#717, Lent 3)

Listen to Him and be Transfigured (#716, Lent 2)

The Secret to Beating Temptation (#715, Lent 1)

Don’t Just Give Something Up, Offer It Up (#714, Ash Wednesday)
Lent is about giving something up. But we can do more. When we offer it up we are saying, “I’m doing this for You, God. I love you more than sweets.” Our sacrifice can be a gift of love to the God who loves us. [AUDIO]
Focus on Your Father, Not on the Crowd (#713, 8th Sunday)

Fight Fire With Love (#712, 7th Sunday)

Only A Heart Transplant Can Save You (#711, 6th Sunday)
