    To emphasize the importance of understanding and being willing to pay the full cost of completely surrendering to and following Jesus.

    Good morning, church. Today, we are going to delve deep into the question, "Are you willing to pay the price?" This involves not just being a follower of Jesus, but rather selling out to Him completely. As we navigate through this topic, I am reminded of a profound quote by Ian Thomas, a respected ...read more

    Loyalty to God ---- NO MATTER THE COST

    July 24, 2021 We have now arrived at the Book of DANIEL. I love this book. I love that God gave Nebuchadnezzar a glimpse of the future {Ch 2} and I love the passion with which God pursued him {Ch 4}. I love that God told Daniel he was well loved in heaven {9:23; 10:11, 19}. And yes, I love ...read more

    Many live under the illusion that we'll be able to live the good life with the right strategy, the proper techniques, and enough discipline. The reality? James says we are not in control of our lives.

    Opening: One day, a young man saw a sign at a restaurant that said, "Free Lunch Tomorrow." The next day he brought his friends to have lunch at the restaurant. When they finished eating, a waiter came to him with the bill of $100 to pay. He was surprised and didn't want to pay. He ...read more

    The Danger Of Easy Believism

    A salesman was telling some folks he got a job as a salesman. They provided him with a kit where he could go into people’s homes with products and show them some of the products this company sold.

    Basically this is what the Lord Jesus has done. He has given us the gospel of Christ to take into the homes of people and show them what the Lord can do for them if they will accept Him. The gospel of Christ is all that God has given to the church to reach a lost world. But there are some who ...read more

    One of the things that we are impressed by today, is numbers.

    When we drive down the highway and see a lot of cars in the parking lot of a restaurant, we assume that it is a great place to eat. Many of us would admit that we have eaten at places where the parking lot was filled with cars, but we were not impressed with the food or the service. We make that ...read more

     | 2,610 views

    Have we considered what it might cost us to follow Jesus? All Scripture references are from the NASB.

    We have been looking at what it means to be a follower of Jesus. What does it mean to be a disciple? For last few week we looked at Jesus’ call to follow Him. The call to be a disciple of Jesus, to follow Him is not for the faint hearted. Mark 8:34 And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, ...read more

    The Point Of No Return

    Many Christians believe that they are disciples of Jesus when, in fact, they are not. In this message, we see that there is a cost to being a disciple of Jesus and it’s a decision that we must make.

    Good morning. I pray that this Sunday morning finds you in good health and looking forward to this morning’s message. Let’s open with a word of prayer. I have a title on my bookshelf that is going to be pulled and read this year. The Cost of Discipleship, written in 1937 by Lutheran pastor and ...read more

    Selling Out To God Series

     | 6,528 views

    Jesus's Parable of Hidden Treasure teaches all-out commitment to the kingdom of God. Christianity is not a little add-on to our busy, selfish life. It is a call to something so valuable that we would give up everything else to have it.

    Last week we began a message entitled “Valuing the Valuable.” That teaching led us to the Parable of the Treasure in Matthew 13:44. That is our text for today. There Jesus said, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes ...read more

    Shall Your Brothers Go To War While You Sit Here?

    “Shall Your Brothers Go To War While You Sit Here?” In other words, will other Christians pay the price while we are secret disciples? Will others witness while we keep silent? Will others work in the church while we just obtain the benefits?

    SHALL YOUR BROTHERS GO TO WAR WHILE YOU SIT HERE? Numbers 32:1-15 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A man & woman were married for many years. Whenever there was a confrontation, yelling could be heard deep into the night. The old man would shout, “When I die, I will dig my way up & out of the ...read more

    If you let God lead, He will take you on a wonderful journey ... but, if you don’t start somewhere, how can you ever make an impact? Jesus challenged those following Him to be fully committed ... so are we?

    What being a disciple REALLY means (Luke, Part 7) Luke 14:25-35 Introduction / Recap - The study of Luke is an interesting one for believers to explore -- We see Luke’s interest in humanity (it’s genuine, rem: career as a physician) -- We also get to experience how Jesus interacts with ...read more

    Seeking first the kingdom of God means making Him the focal point of our lives. It involves aligning our desires, decisions, and actions with His will and His purpose.

    Diversity. Equity. Inclusion.?

     | 3,908 views

    While we would never encourage a church to be "woke," there is a biblical expectation that we will practise Scriptural diversity, Equity, and Inclusion as demonstrated by Jesus.

    “[Jesus] came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written, ‘The Spirit of the Lord ...read more

    Marriage negotiation can be a very risky venture because no one knows tomorrow. We can only as human make some subjective and objective projections and calculation which in the end may not be accurate.

     | 1,553 views

    Message examines "workings of miracles" as a gift of the Holy Spirit listed in 1 Corinthians 12:10. Examples of this gift in operation are examined for insight into what it is and how it works.

    Intro Have you ever tried to work a miracle, and it did not work? When I first started operating in the supernatural, I was alone at a lake for a time of prayer. After extended prayer, I was feeling very spiritual. I looked at that lake and thought, Jesus walked on water, even Peter walked on ...read more
