According to the Bible, your eternal destiny stands on what you believe about the story of Jesus’ resurrection. As you decide, would it help you to know what one man who lived through the events says about it?

On Palm Sunday, Jesus publicly entered the city of God as a humble king. But here are five indicators of his true glory.
by Pastor Brian Larson, delivered 3-28-21 to the congregation of Lake Shore Church, Chicago.
In the parable of the soils, Jesus said the defining characteristic of the soil that is like the path, into which the seed cannot penetrate and take root, is that the person hears the word and does not understand it. We must understand the Word. We must understand the truth.
In this message we establish why increasing knowledge and understanding is not optional if we want to be immovable in the faith.

Where do you need to see the great power of prayer? Is your body sick or in pain? Is your family torn by conflict? Do you need a job? Do you need money? Do you need wisdom? Do your loved ones need to be saved? Do you want the power of the Holy Spirit and his gifts?
In this message, let’s continue to build up our faith with the Word of the Lord so that we exert the great power of prayer and faith where we need it.

How is your faith doing? Are you confident God hears and answers your prayers? Are you confident your prayers have great power?
Persistent faith is great faith!

I took a short break from writing the blog over the holidays. Be inspired by this message titled “Rejoicing in the Truth.”
In the middle of the love chapter of the New Testament—1 Corinthians 13—there is an important statement about truth. 1 Corinthians 13:6 says, “[Love] does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.” (ESV)
