    People refused to heed the Servant of the Lord or His message & for that reason did not experience the power of His arm. For it is through heeding the message that the mighty arm of the Lord brings salvation, to believer & lost alike.

    ISAIAH 53:1-3 THE DESPISED FRIEND [JOHN 1: 10-14] Chapter 53 continues to speak of the Messiah, Jesus, who would suffer for the sins of all people. Such a prophecy is astounding! Who would believe that God would choose to save the world ...read more

    David Brainard is one of those who seemed to have a very special relationship with God that makes the rest of us seem inferior... HOW?

    Becoming a Friend of God Deuteronomy 6:5 "I withdrew to my usual place of retirement, in great tranquility. I knew only to breathe out my desire for a perfect conformity to Him in all things. God was so precious that the world with all its enjoyments seemed infinitely vile. I had no more desire ...read more

    Even when faced with the impossibility of getting through the crowds these friends did not give up, they just got innovative! We all need persistent friends that are willing to do whatever it takes for us to get what we need

    Gospel of Luke 5:17-26 - The Power of Persistent Friends (portions of this message were taken from a message here on Sermon Central.

    Jesus tells a story of a man with two friends. One has a need. The other has the resources to meet that need. The story deals with the lessons learned abour persistent prayer.

    A ship was caught in the midst of a raging storm. Water was breaking over the bow. The pumps were not able to pump enough water out to keep up with the water pouring in. One hundred men worked together with buckets in an attempt to save their ship. Soon it became evident to the captain that they ...read more

    Who Are Your Friends?

    Everyone needs friends. The reason the Toy Story franchise is so popular is because everyone can relate to the idea of having friends who stick with you no matter what. But for followers of Jesus this definition doesn't go far enough.

    Randy Newman wrote a song called, "You Got a Friend in Me". Most folks recognize this song as the theme to the popular Toy Story franchise. According to Randy a real friend is someone who loves you and sticks with you even through your worst troubles. This is a great definition of what a friend ...read more

    I've tried to describe the believers relationship with Jesus in testimony style. "Let me tell you about my fiend Jesus...Let me tell you what He has done for me..."

    I started with Chris Jordan's sermon: i-Pray #3: What a Friend we Have in Jesus. Scripture is the same, maybe a phrase here and there, more so at the beginning. But this is a different sermon.

    The Bible is like a best friend; one who is always truthful and is trustworthy.

    The Bible: Your Friend Pastor Eric J. Hanson March 1, 2015 Pontius Pilate sarcastically asked Jesus “What is Truth?” His attitude about that whole matter was typical of people who are not walking with God. What he meant was, “There is no genuine truth for guiding people’s ...read more

    Beginning of a series looking at twelve followers of Jesus, their imperfections, and their victories. This sermon looks at the life of Simon Peter.

    Today we begin a series I have entitled “The Dirty Dozen.” Jesus was always being accused of attracting the worst kind of people. In fact, He said He came to deliver these folks. I thought it might be interesting to examine twelve of these people and discover if perhaps we have some of ...read more

    What impressed Jesus in this story was the faith of the men who'd brought their friend to him - a friend who was crippled and lived in a low place of life. The phrase is "Jesus saw their faith." What does that mean? And what can it mean to us?

    A few years back, Garth Brooks came out with a popular Country and Western song called: “I’ve Got Friends In Low Places” How many of you have ever heard the song? (when most of them raised their hands, I stage whispered: “Pagans”) It has a catchy tune, but it is NOT a ...read more
