My Brother's Keeper

Chapter 15 of Luke is the start of a new discussion as Jesus makes his way into Jerusalem to fulfill his ultimate sacrificial mission. It begins with the Scribes and Pharisees grumbling because Jesus always allowed sinners to listen to him and eat with hi

This would be similar to having a pastor who spent most of his time trying to reach the lost while neglecting those in the congregation who are just sitting around trying to be Holy. Often the people who are just in church to be served are the ones who complain when they don’t get enough of ...read more

Where Is Your Brother? Series

Contributed by Mathew Philip on Sep 7, 2020

Chapter 3 describes the root of sin whereas chapter 4 is a continuation that describes the fruit of sin. "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by ...read more

Be Reconciled To Your Brother Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 4, 2022

Reconciliation begins with confrontation; being brave enough to approach someone to say, “Hey, we need to talk about something.” Rick Warren says that running from a problem and pretending it doesn’t exist is cowardice.

I want to ask a question to start off our message, and that is, “Whatever happened to reconciliation?” It seems as though there’s not a lot of reconciliation happening in our churches today among Christians. Probably the reason why is because reconciliation begins with confrontation; or rather, ...read more

Two Brothers With An Agenda

Contributed by Robert Butler on Feb 14, 2022

The original disciples were no different than us in their pride until they fully understood what Jesus did for them AND only then did the commitment make sense.

Two brothers walk up to Jesus. It sounds like the beginning of a joke doesn’t it? Two brothers, often referred to as the sons of thunder, walk up to Jesus.
