To conclude our series of '101 Christian Questions', where we've looked at questions submitted by the congregation, we take some time to look at 'The Curious Christ'. Often in His earthly ministry, the Lord Jesus was tested by others with questions designed to trip Him up or catch Him out. Our scripture passage in Mark 2 is a prime example of this. Join us as we look at the questions asked of Christ, and how He answered those who would test Him. This sermon is available now in MP3, WMA and text formats...

We are going to begin to look at some of the aspects of Holy Week regarding what actually happened during the final Amazing events of Jesus Christ while He was physically here on earth. We will be considering what His events accomplished and how His completed events affect us today both personally and individually as Christians and as a whole as the Christian Church. - God bless you ~ David Anson Brown
After Holy Week the Basic Christian info feed is going to post a Bible Study regarding the 8 Global Kingdoms of the earth however since the events of Holy Week are when Jesus was ushering in His Global Kingdom for us it would be a good time to look at both an introduction and a brief summary regarding the 8 Kingdoms before the events of Holy Week 2010 to help us put the events of Jesus Christ and Holy Week into a Global Kingdom perspective then shortly after Easter we can do the actual 8 Kingdom study in its entirety.
