    The Call That Frees Us….and Others Too!

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 10, 2015

    When we follow Jesus, we believe that God has something better for us and all of humanity. That is the message of the readings from Jeremiah, Hebrews and Luke. We are to spread that message in our world by witnessing to God's love for us.

    There is a story that Dr. Ian Paisley, the fiery Irish minister and politician, was preaching one Sunday on the end times, and in particular on the Day of Judgment. As he reached the climax of his address, he said that on the Day of Judgment, "there would be wailing and gnashing of teeth". At that ...read more

    Have you ever wanted to call it quits? We all have. Every single one of us has, especially when the press of people’s opinions suffocate us.

    Have you ever wanted to call it quits? We all have. Every single one of us has, especially when the press of people’s opinions suffocate us. Or when the demands of others’ expectations coupled with our own sense of inadequacy and failure squelch our spirit. When it comes spiraling down to an ...read more

    The 153 Fish Wake-Up Call Series

    As seasons shift, many of us need a reset with Jesus. John 21 shows the risen Christ meeting drifting disciples, filling empty nets, and inviting them to “come and have breakfast.” This isn’t box-checking; it’s returning to the One who seeks us, provides for us, and re-commissions us.

    Can you feel it in the air? That subtle shift as summer fades into fall? Me either. But somehow every single store in all of existence seems to feel it as they’re already putting out Christmas decorations. I think by next year we’re going to see combo-fireworks stands selling candy canes and ...read more

    The Public ministry Jesus began in perilous times. Distractions, disapointment, and weariness was the order of the day. When Jesus called, Peter responded and so must we.

    Sermon – Responding To God's Call in Perilous Times Scripture Luke 5:1-11 “One day as Jesus was preaching on the shore of the Sea of Galilee,[a] great crowds pressed in on him to listen to the word of God. 2 He noticed two empty boats at the water’s edge, for the fishermen had left them and ...read more

    The three "C’s" applied by our Master to Peter and the disciples is still the same"C"God is using in our life today as we wade deeper and deeper in Him.

    The lake was called Lake of Tiberias,Gennasaret or Sea of Galilee.This might be the 2nd invitation of Jesus to Peter and company(Mat.4:18-22).This is the hometown of Peter and He already knew Jesus because he addressed Him as Master in the passage but he, including the disciples don’t have yet ...read more

    God calls specific people to specific places for specific purposes. When God called Jonah, his response was quite different that that of the prophet Isaiah. Whereas Isaiah said, "Here am I. Send me!" Jonah said, "Here am I...send someone else."

    Series: Jonah and the City Here am I... Send Someone Else, Pt. One Jonah 1:1-2 This morning I want to begin a study of the life of Jonah. This first message I’ve actually broken in two, so this week I’ll preach part one and next week I’ll preach part two. God calls specific ...read more

    The Red Bits, what follows Jesus said are the most powerful life altering words you ever hear. you can also listen at www.preaching.co.nr

    I want to encourage us as a Church to spend time in the “red bits of the Bible.” The “red bits” are generally preceded by the grammatical necessity “Jesus said.” What follows “Jesus said” are the most powerful words ever spoken in human history and if received by faith they can have life changing ...read more

    In this message from the Gospel of Luke I focus on Jesus preaching from Peter's boat. The 3 main focal points are that Jesus ministers to both the crowd & the individual, Jesus was driving Peter to a deeper experience, & Jesus gave Peter what he needed t

    As is typical of my messages I do not have a written closing. Your crowd differs from my crowd so therefore the closing would probably need to be different anyway. Be blessed! Gospel of Luke 5:1-11 We are in a message series on the Gospel of Luke The word “gospel” literally means ...read more

    Where is a church supposed to get workers and what are they supposed to be doing?

    Matthew 9:9-13 There are two Biblical models that show where a church is to get workers. There is a model where churches send out workers to strengthen or to plant other churches. The church at Antioch sent Paul out and later Paul sent Timothy and Titus to strengthen the churches where he ...read more

    We are called out of the world and into Jesus and to follow His example in conduct, in obedience, and in service so that one day, on the day Jesus comes again, we will be called home.

    Ah, the grand call to adventure. Every hero has accepted the call and began the journey of love and service. In a sense, every Christian is called to ministry of some sort.

    Isaiah 6:8 (ISV) Then I heard the voice of the LORD as he was asking, "Whom will I send? Who will go for us?" "Here I am!" I replied. "Send me." Ah, the grand call to adventure. Every hero has accepted the call and began the journey of love and service. In a sense, ...read more

    The Ordained Messenger Mark 1:1-8 Mark opens his book with these words: “The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.” Wow, what an opening statement!

    This is the foundation of how the Church grows. For years I’ve been bothered by the GIMMICK VS. GOSPEL approach to ministry in general and evangelism in particular. It seems we don’t think God’s gospel is quite good enough to reach folks,

    Some thoughts in this message are from the archives of C.H. Spurgeon who preached in the 1800’s TITLE: FISHERS OF MEN….NO BAIT REQUIRED SCRIPTURE: ST. MATTHEW 4:18-20 / ST. MARK 1:17 Since my return to Ardmore, Deacon Cooley and a few other brothers have taken me out fishing. I ...read more
