Selfless Obedience (Mother's Day) Series

Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Jun 11, 2013

Selflessness is the key characteristic in Jesus' command to take up our crosses and follow him. The stories of Jochebed, Hannah, and Mary (Jesus' mother) illustrate selflessness.

One of the critical characteristics of a follower of Jesus is almost completely non-existent in our society. Now I say “almost”, because there are still times when we see and celebrate it, but those times are largely times of extremes. The prevailing “wisdom” is completely ...read more

Mother's Day

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on May 10, 2024

If you really want to know someone, the best person to talk to is their mother.

She might be somewhat prejudiced, but next to God she knows her child better than anyone else. But Mothers are not perfect because sometimes in their assessment of their child, they may be wrong. Let me illustrate… • A picture of George Washington’s head is on the front of every dollar bill. ...read more

Life Of John Series

Contributed by Mark Driscoll on Oct 12, 2011

John understood that the most important thing for the children of God, with a feeble breath and the few words he could say, that they were supposed to love each other.

And so what I wanted to do by way of transition this week was to introduce you to John – not just the things that he has to say, not just his ideas and his concepts and his theology, as wonderful as that is, but to introduce ...read more

What's Important Is Where You Are Going

Contributed by Anthony Hodge on Jan 10, 2003

This sermon’s aim is to get persons to realize that where they are headed in life is of greater importance than where they have been.

What’s important is where you are going (Genesis 19:12-26) It has been said that familiarity breeds contentment. It’s safe to say that the previously mentioned statement reigns true for many of us. Once a pattern of living has been established, it is hard to change. Once we get into a ...read more
