The Challenge To Love Much
Contributed on Feb 13, 2025

The Challenge to Love Much Luke 7:36-50 Introduction Last week we saw Jesus demonstrate amazing powers as he healed the centurion’s servant at a distance and raised the son of the widow of Nain. The miracles of Jesus serve to: -Show us his great love and compassion for ...read more

Hear The Call Of Jesus
Contributed on Jan 23, 2025
As we see the calling of the first disciples, we are sensing that He is calling us into his mission to save the world. Do we hear the call? Are we willing to take first steps to following the Master? Are we continuing in the mission?
Hear The Call of Jesus Luke 5:1-11 Introduction The public ministry of Jesus is not a solo mission. He needed and called disciples, some of which became Apostles, and they carried on the work that he founded and empowered. Even today disciples of Jesus are carrying the banner of ...read more
