    21st century Christians are better at believing than they are at behaving. This message studies what it means to become a Disciple of Jesus Christ.

     | 1,050 views

    Isaiah 59 paints us a picture of God's Redemption, and helps us with the answer to our suffering, which is trusting in this world for the answers.

    Sometimes in our walk of faith, we’re faced with questions which strike at the heart of God’s nature and his relationship with humanity. Our questions usually revolve around idea that God is loving, and all powerful, and yet we see so much suffering in the world. Isaiah 59 begins with this type of ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 758 views

    The great battle of discipleship in the 21st century is not persecution — it is distraction. “One thing I desire…” May it become the defining cry of our discipleship.

    “One Thing I Desire”: The Single-Minded Disciple in a Distracted World — Psalm 27:4 (NLT) Introduction: The Tyranny of Too Many Things We live in an age of endless options and constant noise.

    21st century Christians have made the cross into a showpiece of artwork, but the cross that Jesus died on was never intended to be a showpiece, or fine art.

    The Pain That Produces Peace: God’s Loving Discipline In The Life Of A Disciple Series

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Feb 19, 2026
    based on 1 rating
     | 285 views

    We live in a comfort-driven culture. Everything in the 21st century whispers, “Avoid pain. Escape discomfort. Protect your preferences.” Yet Scripture speaks a very different language. The Bible tells us that pain, in the hands of a loving Father, is not pointless—it is productive.

    The Pain That Produces Peace: God’s Loving Discipline in the Life of a Disciple Introduction: When It Hurts Let me begin with a simple, honest truth: following Jesus is glorious—but it is not always easy. We live in a comfort-driven culture. Everything in the 21st century whispers, “Avoid pain. ...read more

    The 21st-century world is louder than ever. And Scripture commands us not simply to run, not merely to endure, but to fix our eyes on Jesus.

    Looking to Jesus: The Author and Perfecter of Our Faith- Hebrews 12:2 Introduction: Fix Your Eyes Imagine a runner in the Olympic marathon. The stadium roars, the cameras flash, but the runner hears none of it. His eyes are fixed, his focus unbroken. Ahead lies the finish line—and glory. One ...read more

    In this sermon, I use the movie Miracle on 34th Street to illustrate the difference between fact and fiction. The miracle of Jesus’ birth and life on 1st Century Street are altogether true and are worth believing in.
