Transcribe →Who Crucified Christ?
Mar 2900:15:22Tap to summarizeOn this Palm Sunday we are remembering not only the entrance of Jesus into the city of Jerusalem, but we are taking a look at what happened just a few days later on a hill called Calvary. The question has sometimes been raised, "Who was it that crucified Jesus?" Was it the Romans, the Jews, the angry mob? Just who was responsible for His death on that old, rugged cross? That's what we are going to think about today. For more information on the Campground, insider tips and FAQ's, listen to our General Ocean Lakes Podcast, Campground Conversations.
Transcribe →The Love of God
Mar 2200:21:21Tap to summarizeLast Sunday our thoughts were on the subject of "The Holiness of God." But God's holiness is only a part of the true picture of God. Today we look at God's nature, not just as a God of power, majesty, and splendor, but also a God who is near us, as the song says, "He walks with me and He talks with me." He is a God who is a God of love. The Apostle Paul said in Romans 5:8, "God commended his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Let's unfold what God's love really means to us all. For more information on the Campground, insider tips and FAQ's, listen to our General Ocean Lakes Podcast, Campground Conversations.
Transcribe →The Holiness of God
Mar 1500:20:54Tap to summarizeOne of the oldest and most beloved of our Christian hymns is "Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty." The words were written by Reginald Heber, who was born in 1783. When we say that God is holy, what does that mean? This may sound like a dull, uninteresting subject, but today we are going to look at what God's holiness means to us in our everyday lives.
