    Absolute Surrender

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jun 22, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 36,016 views

    Paul in Romans 12 calls on the followers of Christ to yield themselves completely to God, to capitulate to His Lordship. Until we do this we can never experience the fullness of joy and blessing God has for us individually and as a church.

    Absolute Surrender Romans 12:1-2 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ...read more

    Excuses Series

    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Oct 2, 2010
     | 5,403 views

    We all have excuses for not responding to Jesus' call to follow him. Life is hectic, complicated and filled with items that claim our attention. We have one reason, though, to respond to Jesus' challenge--his love and grace.

    Luke 9:51-62 “Excuses” INTRODUCTION One of the most memorable illustrations that I’ve ever seen involved a glass container similar to what I have here and rocks of various sizes. Using the rocks the demonstrator underscored and important lesson in life. Just when we thought ...read more

    When Jesus called Matthew as a disciple, he followed without hesitation. But, we often bring a lot of baggage alongside our faith. How can we work towards dropping our baggage and following Jesus more freely?

    Opening and Introduction In our text today, we heard of a tax collector named Levi, more commonly known as the disciple Matthew. Matthew was working in his toll booth and left everything behind to follow Jesus. He left without hesitation, without conditions, and without negotiating how he would ...read more

    How would you respond if God called your name not once, but twice? In the Bible, God calls plenty of people often by name, but I’ve only found seven times where God calls out someone’s name twice in a row. In each instance, what follows is a life-changing encounter with the God of creation.

    When God Calls Your Name… Twice: Jacob Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 7/24/2016 Hearing your name called can evoke different responses depending on the circumstances. On the one hand, maybe you’re just getting off the plane after a long tour of duty, your eyes scanning all ...read more

    Imagine being chosen for something world-changing… not because of your qualifications, but in spite of them. That’s what happened when Jesus called the twelve apostles.

    Go! And Follow the Example of the Apostles Matthew 10:1-4 Introduction: Who Were These 12 Ordinary Men?

    Living Like A Follower - Philippians, Part 5 Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Aug 28, 2022
     | 1,588 views

    Each one of us should be involved in improving our relationship with God. We should be committed to knowing what His Word calls us to do, and we set out to do this with ONE purpose – to develop “a proven character”; to show people Who it is we serve … and WHY we willingly serve Him!

    “Living Like a Follower” - Philippians, Part 5 Philippians Sermon Series, Part 5 Philippians 2:12-24 Introduction - Reminder about our level-set from series opener: 1. Christians must reflect the joy of Christ in everything we do 2. This means you and I are to make the Gospel ...read more

     | 17,974 views

    The concept and purpose of a divine call is not something we create, it is something God places within us. Have we responded to or rejected God’s specific call on our lives? Throughout history God has called people to Him and called people to serve Him. Let me tell you about some of them

    We continue in our series Hope Found Here and this month we are considering Hope in the Call or Calling of God.

    "ordinary People For An Extraordinary Calling" Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 31, 2020
     | 5,937 views

    Jesus rarely calls the famous, the powerful, the influential, or the religious groups to preach the Gospel. He works best with those who feel that that have nothing to offer Him but follow and obey Him anyway.

    The message of Jesus has not changed in over two thousand years. He still tells those with ears to hear to repent and believe in the Gospel. In His early ministry, He preached in His hometown synagogue and nearly got Himself killed as a result (Luke 4:16-30). Wherever Jesus went, He either ...read more

     | 11,506 views

    Jesus is making clear to us is that a commitment to follow Him is more than a desire or a profession of belief. It is a radical, life altering of commitment to follow or live like him

    Lose the Excuses Luke 9:57-62 Good morning, this is already the fourth Sunday in Lent, a time when Christians focus on discipleship, denial and self sacrifice. It is the hardest part of following Jesus. During the Lenten season, we deal with these habits and put them into practice as we journey to ...read more

    Why do people not follow?

    "Fishing for People" Mark 1:14-20 Do we make it seem too easy? Do we not give enough explanation? Or perhaps, do people have an inkling of how difficult it is, and therefore make the decision to either "put it off," ignore it, or say "No. I refuse to believe it," when in reality the refusing ...read more
