Jesus

He’s Alive

As a culture we place a great deal of emphasis upon an eye witness in establishing the veracity of a claim. Is that not also one of the many valid approaches to determine if Jesus did indeed rise from the dead?
This Easter Sunday, we will look at the many witnesses who saw Jesus alive after His crucifixion. They saw a man who bore the marks of the nails in his hands and in His feet, even noting where He was pierced. This man, this Jesus, ate and drank, walked and talked.
At one point over 500 witnesses saw Him, verifying His resurrection.
Join with us as we look at the testimony of the witnesses.
We meet at 9:30 am. at 740 N. 129th Street along the West Dodge corridor in Omaha, Nebraska. If you are uncomfortable in attending in person, check out our Facebook page, SpiritOfFaithOmaha, or our YouTube channel. Come grow with us as we seek to share the joy of knowing Jesus Christ.

Insights from a Donkey

Have you every wondered why Jesus chose to ride a donkey when he rode into Jerusalem on that first Palm Sunday? Why didn’t He ride a war horse or some other more valiant animal?
Zechariah 9:9, an Old Testament of the Bible written around 520 B.C., contains a prediction that the coming King of Israel would ride into the city of Jerusalem on a donkey. But what other reasons could there be for Jesus to enter into the city in that manner?
On Palm Sunday, we turn our attention to Matthew 21:1-11, as we discover some insights from a donkey and why they are important to us even today.

Accept Unconditionally

God said, “Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God” (Romans 15:7 – NIV).

What does it mean to accept one another and how did Jesus accept us? Romans 5:8 tells us, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

When we accept others, it doesn’t mean that we condone or agree with everything they do and say. We overlook differing tastes, differing interests as we stand united in our faith in Jesus.

A Race with a Reward

Not all races come with a reward. For many races the primary reward is to be able to simply say that you “won!”
You beat out the competition.
The Bible describes this life as a race, but this “race” comes with a reward. In James 1:12, that reword is called “the crown of life.” It’s promised by God to be given to all “who love Him.”
But what exactly is that crown of life?
We would like to invite you to join us this coming Sunday as we look into James 1:12, discovering to what this crown refers along with how we receive the reward.

Walking in Wisdom

Do you struggle, wondering what is the best answer, the best approach, the best way to handle the challenges that come with living life?
The Bible gives an incredible promise in James 1:5, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.”
Woah . . . what an awesome promise. We ask and God promises to answer. Who could pass up an opportunity like that.
Do you need wisdom and insight? It all begins by our simple asking God in faith to provide an answer.

A Biblical Pyramid

When we hear of a pyramid scheme, we think of something illegal that is focused primarily on the financial gain of those who start the scheme rolling. It is a multiplication approach, relying upon people to recruit others to give money toward the scheme and who then recruit even more.
In 2 Timothy 2:1-2, we find reference to a biblical approach to multiplication in minister where all who participate benefit and reap the rewards of belonging.
We want to invite you to join us as we discover how important a ministry of multiplication is and how it can benefit multitudes of people as we look to insights from 2 Timothy 2:1-7.
Our services start at 9:30 am. For those who are comfortable attending onsite, we meet at 740 N. 129th Street in Omaha, NE, at 9:30 am. For our online community, you can find us on Facebook at SpiritofFaithOmaha or online on YouTube. Join with us and grow with us as look grow in our faith, sharing the joy of knowing Jesus Christ.

Discipleship: Counting the Cost

Martin Luther said, “A religion that gives nothing, costs nothing, and suffers nothing, is worth nothing.”
Jesus paid it all, giving His own life for others. We who choose to follow Him must too be willing to sacrifice for the sake of others. But why would we do that?
Join us this coming Sunday as we direct our attention to Mark 8:34-38, discovering some biblical explanations on why a person who is follower of Jesus should be willing to serve others in the name of Jesus.  Learn more

The Great Commission

Throughout the Bible, the extreme significance of the name of Jesus is presented.
Prior to Jesus birth, Joseph was told that “You are to give Him the name Jesus for He will save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21).
As we launch into the New Year, I invite you to join us onsite or online as we recall the incredible significance of Jesus. He is our hope for an abundant life on earth and an eternal life in heaven. Learn more

Joy to the World

“Joy to the World” is one of the more popular Christmas songs. It has a joyful tune and creates a sense of joy for those who sing it and for those who hear it.
Joy to the world is equally appropriate for the celebration of Christ’s birth as it is for the celebration of Easter which marks the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. He overcame sin and death and offers His victory to all who believe in Him.
Is “joy” a central part of your Christmas? When we have joy, it gives us strength to live each day, facing the challenges of that day.

Characters of Christmas: Elizabeth and Zechariah

God is able to do the seemingly impossible. Despite the fact that both Elizabeth and Zechariah were “advanced in years,” God enabled Elizabeth to give birth. It causes us to marvel at what God can do. Age is no issue. The odds are no issue. Lack of faith even isn’t an issue, and the unheard-of is no issue.
Join us as we look at Luke 1 as we are reminded that God is able to do the miraculous as are evidenced in the lives of two more characters in the original Christmas story. Learn more
