    The Radical Invitation Of Jesus, From Exclusion To Celebration Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Mar 17, 2025
     | 84 views

    In the calling of Levi, Jesus reshapes what discipleship looks like and who qualifies to be a disciple. Would we invite the "Levi's" of our day to follow Him?

    Introduction: Is Jesus “woke”? In other words, is He someone who is sensitive to or aware of the injustices experienced by the marginalized? If Jesus were walking on earth today, gathering disciples, would He do so along DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) ethical standards? Would he try to choose ...read more

     | 61 views

    As Jesus ministered in the region of Galilee, He did some things that some thought to be strange. As a result they glorified God!

    A few years ago, there was a series release on streaming services called “Stranger Things.” The series took place in a small town where strange events were happening - supernatural encounters, weird creatures, fissures into things that seemed like a mirror image of our world. It was truly filled ...read more

    The Cost Of Following Jesus Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Mar 3, 2025
     | 246 views

    While all of us come to faith from a variety of different circumstances, the calling of Simon helps us to see that there are some commonalities among all conversions

    When you and I come to faith in Jesus Christ, we do so from a variety of different circumstances. Some are younger (I was 5). Some are older - I know a woman who was in her late 80s when she came to faith. Some have lived simple lives, others have lived rather rambunctiously. Some have come ...read more

    Who Is Jesus To You? Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Feb 24, 2025
     | 256 views

    We all face judgments from other people. Jesus faced that too. As He began his earthly ministry, Jesus experienced two completely different responses from two different towns. How will you respond?

    People make judgments about us all of the time. It’s not so much that they are judgmental, but that they get to meet us or get to know us based on certain associations. I know, by virtue of the fact that I’m a pastor, when I introduce myself to people, they make an immediate judgment. If they ...read more

     | 443 views

    Jesus' temptation in the wilderness gives us some insights that we should keep in mind as we face temptation.

    Luke 4:1–13 ESV And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry. The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, ...read more

    Jesus, The Son Of God Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Feb 18, 2025
     | 121 views

    The genealogy of Jesus reveals several things to us - but primarily his heritage as the Son of God.

    In recent years, ancestry and genealogy has been a growing trend. One of the largest and most popular ancestry companies was sold 4 years ago for $4.7b. There is something in us that wants to understand more about where we are from and from whom we descend. Unfortunately, for many of us, the ...read more

    The Priorities Of Jesus And His Family Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Jan 7, 2025
     | 266 views

    This passage seems to reveal how Mary, Joseph and Jesus prioritized God’s things in their routines, regards (or affections), and relationships.

    Today, as we continue our study in the book of Luke, we come to a rather peculiar passage that provides a rare glimpse into Jesus’ childhood. The other gospels vary in how much they share about Jesus before his public ministry begins. Matthew devotes about 48 verses to Jesus’ early years (some of ...read more

    Unto Us A Child Is Born Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Dec 30, 2024
     | 115 views

    Did God make a mistake in having His Son be born in a barn to an unwed virgin? While it all sounds scandalous, it's exactly what we need!

    I love the questions that Bobby asks. Sometimes they catch me off guard and really make me think. But there is one question that he has asked me recently surrounding the birth of Jesus that gave me a bit of insight into his Persian background and a tangible feel for what the Middle Eastern ...read more

    The God who opened closed wombs is the same God who can cause a virgin to conceive the Son of God, because nothing is impossible with God.

    Luke 1:26–56 ESV In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary. And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” ...read more

    Something To Talk About Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Dec 23, 2024
     | 204 views

    As if the pregnancies of an elderly woman and an unwed teenager weren’t enough to talk about, the birth of John sparks speech in ways that should encourage us to verbalize things about our faith as well.
