    The importance of following God's guidance and the blessings that come from obedience to His word.

    Good morning, family. Today, we’re going to journey back in time, down the old paths, as we immerse ourselves in the word of God from the book of Jeremiah 16:9. "For this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Before your eyes and in your days I will bring an end to the sounds of joy ...read more

    A decision to follow Jesus allows us to radically disregard our past so that He can partner with us for the healing of the world in Jesus’ name.

    Over the course of the last 2 weeks, we have been swimming through our message series we entitled, “Deep.” For those who haven’t been with us, let me bring you up to speed.

    As Jesus challenges Peter and the rest of the twelve here in this passage, He unfolds the principles of being a disciple - a real follower of His.

    Demands Of Discipleship

    Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Feb 17, 2008
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,395 views

    Are we just followers, or true disciples, of Jesus? There is a difference! If we are a true disciple, then we have rewards in heaven. If we are just followers, we may not. Let us learn about the demands of discipleship.

    It is possible to be a follower of Jesus without being a disciple; to be a camp follower without being a soldier of the king; to be a hanger-on in some great work without pulling one’s weight. Someone was talking to a great scholar about a younger man. He said, “So and so tells me that he was ...read more

    The Way Of The Cross

     | 6,463 views

    What does it mean to follow Jesus? It means that we be willing to give up everything to follow Him. The journey begins where we are at and ends where God wants us to be. It starts by way of the cross.

    The way of the Cross Mark 8:34-38 Mark chapter 8:34-38 Prayer- Introduction- Last week we looked at some of the words of Jesus to his disciples. We found that He had the nerve to eat with sinners and associate with people that even the religious thought should be avoided. We saw the setting is ...read more

    A Little Bit Of Sin

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 25, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,329 views

    The danger with a little bit of sin, is that we can sin just a little. However, we must know that there are grave consequences when we choose to follow our own desires rather than following the will of God.

    “The angels urged Lot, saying, ‘Up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city.’ But he lingered. So the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, the Lord being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set ...read more

    God has chosen us in and by Jesus to become fully devoted followers of Jesus and to make fully devoted followers of Jesus. We are challenged within ourselves; by God; and from outside of ourselves to accomplish these two goals.

    1. Good to be chosen – Sports/Jobs/Mates/Friends/Elected Politicians – “Chosen by People” 2. God has called us by the gospel (2 Thessalonians 2.14) 3. The gospel call challenges us to transformation in our lives – 1 Thessalonians 1.4-10 4 For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, ...read more

     | 5,612 views

    What is clearly revealed here is that doing the will of God must ultimately find expression in following Jesus. You cannot do God’s will and not follow Christ. Apart from allegiance to him by faith, there is no salvation.

    Opening illustration: One dark and stormy night, a gang of thieves broke into a jewelry store, but they were on a mission with a difference. They didn't steal a thing. But they carefully went round the whole shop and switched all the price tags. Then they left. The next day, the staff came in, and ...read more

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 8, 2022
     | 2,748 views

    The Lord’s Prayer in John 17 can be divided into three basic parts. Christ prays for himself to finish strong; for His disciples to follow faithfully and for every believer who would follow them in the way.

    Sermon – The Lord’s Prayer From John 17 John 17:1-25 After saying all these things, Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son so he can give glory back to you. 2 For you have given him authority over everyone. He gives eternal life to each one you have given ...read more

    Living a life that follows God’s will is God’s purpose. God’s will is always attached to purpose. Our responsibility is to go wherever he wants.

    Wherever He Wants Assorted Texts Just before Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, a group of ministers urged him to grant immediate freedom to all slaves. “It is my earnest desire to know the will of Providence in that matter,” Lincoln wrote. “And if I can learn what it is, I will ...read more

    Second in a series on our church’s vision; this one also addresses the issue of being passionate Christians, using Peter as an illustration of how Christ builds passion in us as followers.
