     | 5,585 views

    Are you ready to be a disciple of the Lord Jesus? Two examples: one from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament shows us what it takes to be disciple of the Lord Jesus. See how the Lord calls and equips his disciples.

    I have this reoccurring nightmare that goes something like this. It’s Sunday morning. I’m at church. The service is just about ready to start. I realize that I forgot to write a sermon. Why?

    As a book is covered with dust sits on the shelf, so is one spiritually that is not prepared, or not ready. We must be more than forgetful hearers. BE READY. BE PREPARED.

    Are we living ready for Jesus’ return? Being ready means: Living with hope - living each day with anticipation for Jesus’ return; living a sanctified life - standing out and reflecting the transformative power of faith; and, having a renewed witness - sharing the love of Jesus with all others!

    Introduction Video Ill.: Til Kingdom Come I think that was a pretty good summary of what we discussed last week — Scripture teaches us that Jesus is coming. We do not know when.

    As a Christian, there is a spiritual battle. It is a battle between the spirit and the flesh. Our text tells us that the things I want to do, I don’t do but the things I don’t want to do, that I do. Are we ready for a Change in our life?

    Ready To Heed

     | 1,707 views

    The word "heed" is a biblical word that we don't use today. So what does it mean, and how does it apply to our lives now?

    What exactly does the word “heed” mean? It is more than hearing (Psa. 119:9) It is more than agreeing (Hos. 4:10) It is more than teaching (Josh. 22:5) It is more than honoring (II Kings 10:31) So what is heeding? It is remembering to use, following what is said, and making that a rule for conduct. ...read more

    John the Baptist laid out a specific message that gives us the mission to bring confession and repentance into our life to keep us prepared and ready for the return of Jesus.

    Jesus pictures the kingdom as a banquet—an invitation to joy. In Luke 14:7–24 He confronts pride, exposes excuses, and calls for a humble, wholehearted response to His invitation—today, not “someday.”

    The next couple of weeks we're going to be spending time in Luke 14, in a mini-series called "Come to the Table." I named the series this because - don't you just love invitations to eat? At first I thought that "Let's Eat" may have been a better title for this ...read more
