     | 45 views

    When it comes to following Jesus, we have to ask the important distinction: Do we really know Him? Or do we just know about Him? Jesus explores this topic amongst the religious in the Temple, and it truly speaks to us today!

     | 125 views

    Discipleship involves a process of becoming like Jesus; changing our focus and our wants to follow Him. Are we obediently doing that today? Or are we still trying to do it our way and make a deal with Jesus to do what we want?

     | 59 views

    When we are challenged to be obedient and follow God, especially by our family or close friends who do not want us to obey God, do we respond with hope? Do we encourage others to look to Jesus? Or, are we too busy looking for a “quick fix”?

     | 64 views

    If Jesus lived a life to show us how to draw closer to God, what is it that is keeping us from doing so? Why do we struggle to exemplify God in our life today? Why do our "religious preferences" outweigh what God has called us to do?

    Preaching and living a lifestyle conditioned by the precepts of the Gospel is not a particularly popular path, and may get you shunned, even exiled.

    There are at least three shocks to the 1st century Jews who heard the Parable. 1. That the Father gave the son his inheritance before his death; 2.That the Father ran to embrace the wayward son and 3. The Father simply forgave the Son

    Story: I have to tell you that, in continental Europe, the Swiss are known as being as parsimonious. In fact they make the Scots look generous - apologies to any Scots listening.

     | 182 views

    We live in a world that celebrates self, questions truth, mocks holiness, and often treats the name of Jesus as either a slogan to be borrowed or a name to be resisted. And into that atmosphere, the Word of God comes to us with divine clarity, holy tenderness, and triumphant authority.

    Greater Within: Following Jesus with Confidence in a Hostile World Introduction — When the World Feels Loud, Dark, and Overwhelming We are living in a century of noise. There is noise in the culture. Noise on our phones. Noise in the news. Noise in our minds. Noise in our hearts. We live in a ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 179 views

    Palm Sunday is the public presentation of Jesus Christ as King. It is the moment when heaven’s King rides into earth’s rebellion—not on a war horse, but on a donkey; not with a sword in His hand, but with salvation in His heart; not to crush sinners, but to be crushed for them.

    The King Who Came for You - Palm Sunday and the Call to Follow Jesus Today we come to one of the most sacred, striking, and deeply moving moments in the earthly ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ: Palm Sunday. This is not merely a story about crowds, cloaks, branches, and celebration. This is not ...read more

    One of the marks of discipleship is generosity. But we are challenged about this everytime we come to the offering in the worship service.

    We did to have excuses when the going gets tough. Jesus' call is for total commitment. All Scripture references are from the NASB.

    When Jesus calls us to follow Him, to be His disciples, Jesus did not call for any halfway measures. How many of us, after the holidays, or before summer season starts say we are going to diet, join a gym, and get healthy? With good intentions we jump right into. However, by day 3 of our diet, ...read more
