    Who's The Boss? Series

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Dec 5, 2011
     | 4,247 views

    This describes a conversation had by Jesus' fishermen disciples, talking about the miraculous event later, spoken with the local accent. Better heard than read.

    John 21:1-14 – Who’s the Boss? Today, we look at one of my favourite stories in the whole Bible. I can’t exactly tell you why I like it so much. Maybe it’s Jesus’ playful and whimsical nature shining through. Maybe it’s because I grew up in a fishing village, ...read more

    Why We Share The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Sep 17, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,060 views

    The greatest thing we can do as disciples is to be engaged in sharing the Gospel and the joy of our salvation with those who need to know Jesus for themselves.

    Why we share the Gospel Jesus said: “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) For many people evangelism does not come ...read more

    Inclusion Is What We Need, Not Power Hungry People

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 11, 2021
     | 1,802 views

    Jesus rebuked His disciples because they wanted to keep the power of healing for themselves. This is happening in church today even though Jesus said it is wrong!

    I think that it is sad that when I read this narrative, it made me think about the control the church has held over people for almost 2000 years. The church used only one verse, thus out of context, to control people. Catholics could not own a Bible until 1964 CE. The idea that a person has to ...read more

    Fishers Of Men Series

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Jan 22, 2021
     | 4,589 views

    Jesus was the master of fishing for men, and he wanted his disciples to do the same. Here are four qualities of discipleship that will help us to grow in this area.

    Fishing For Men Luke 5:1-11 Introduction I’m not known as a great fisherman - although I do like to fish. Just the casting and catching part. I admit to being a jinx. Nobody usually catches any fish when I’m fishing with them. And then there was the time I left half of Danny Dodd tackle box ...read more

    Overcoming Fear

     | 3,392 views

    Before his crucifixion Jesus gave his disciples some instruction on how to overcome fear. His instruction to them is applicable to us too.

    [Note, this series started to follow the SermonCentral ‘Fear Not’ series, but this week I went in a different direction.] Today we have the second talk in our series ‘Fear Not.’ Last week we started by thinking about healthy and unhealthy fears. [This talk was given by someone else.] A healthy ...read more

    Take A Wonderful Walk With Jesus

     | 5,200 views

    Jesus speaks with the disciples on the way to Emmaus, taking them from sadness and despair to hope through the Word of God. A beautiful story to preach on!

    4.26.20 Luke 24:13-35 He said to them, “How foolish you are and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter his glory?” Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the ...read more

    They started their journey to Emmaus with broken hearts, but it wasn't too long before the disciples' hearts began to burn with promise and joy.

    April 26, 2020 Hope Lutheran Church Pastor Mary Erickson Luke 24:13-35 From Broken Hearts to Burning Hearts Friends, may grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and Christ Jesus our Lord.

    Confessing Jesus

    Do we stand for what is right or do we let the world bully us into silence about our faith? Are we courageous disciples?

    Do we stand for what is right or do we let the world bully us into silence about our faith? Are we courageous disciples? Let’s examine confessing Jesus in the midst of opposition in Matthew 10:24-39. “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. It is enough for a disciple ...read more

    No More Excuses!

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Oct 9, 2024
     | 1,099 views

    Jesus shows us the importance of radical obedience through the encounter with three would-be disciples that offered excuses for not wanting to immediately go with Jesus.

    IN THE WALT DISNEY MOVIE, “ALICE IN WONDERLAND,” ALICE FINDS HERSELF AT A FORK IN THE ROAD. AS SHE CONTEMPLATED HER DECISION, SHE NOTICES A CHESHIRE CAT UP IN THE TREE. UNDECIDED ON WHICH ROAD TO TAKE, ALICE THEN ASKS THE CHESHIRE CAT, “WHICH ROAD DO I TAKE?” THE CAT RESPONDS, “WHERE DO YOU WANT ...read more

    All Believers Can Be Bearers Of The Word Of God

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 10, 2023

    Joel gives the judgement: it’s because of the sin of the Israelites themselves. Just the opposite of the faith and obedience of Mary that Jesus wants in His disciples.

    Saturday of the 27th week in Course 2023 I think this brief Gospel gives us words that either Jesus or His Mother could have proclaimed. As usual, there’s a big crowd around Jesus, perhaps hundreds clamoring for attention, for encouragement, for healing or forgiveness. A woman raises her voice and ...read more

    Following the question from the Disciples about the restoration of the Kingdom of Israel, and Jesus told them that time was about the Father and they had nothing to do with it.

    “Power From God” Acts 1:8 Following the question from the Disciples about the restoration of the Kingdom of Israel, and Jesus told them that time was about the Father and they had nothing to do with it.

    What will the sign of the end be? What can we expect during that time? The disciples asked questions such as these and Jesus provided answers in the Olivet Discourse.

    Discussing the End Mark 13: 1-8 Following a time of intense debate within the Temple, Jesus and the disciples departed Jerusalem and made their way to the Mount of Olives. As they sat there on the mountain, having a clear view of the city below, Jesus gave the Olivet Discourse. The message Jesus ...read more

    Two Post Resurrection Appearances Of Jesus In Jn 20

     | 7,594 views

    God treats us an individuals and knows our specific needs just as he did with MAry, Peter and Thomas and the unnamed disciples of Jn 20

    Story: There were once two identical twins. They were alike in every way but one. One was a hope-filled optimist, Peter who only ever saw the bright side of life. The other, Thomas was a dark pessimist, who only ever saw the down side in every situation. The parents were so worried about the ...read more

    Why did a lawyer question Jesus? Best part is the answer. Jesus disciples are expected to follow the laws in the Torah that apply to loving God and neighbor

    The Expert Luke 10:25-28 Rabbi Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Luke 10:25 And behold, a lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 And He said to him, “What is written in the Law?

    When Jesus promised His disciples an Advocate, He gave them—and us—the assurance that His presence would never leave.

    Introduction: A Transformative Promise Pentecost is more than a commemoration of the Spirit descending on the disciples in Jerusalem; it is the celebration of a living promise that continues to shape our lives.
