    Not much is said about self-denial and sacrifice in today's church and society, but it is central to the life of a disciple of Jesus Christ.

    Mark 8:31-38 “A Different Drummer” INTRODUCTION Selective hearing is a curious human phenomenon. We have the ability to hear only what we want to hear. Teenagers can hear the word “food,” but they have trouble hearing, “Do your homework,” or “Take ...read more

    Twenty-Eighth Sunday In Ordinary Time; 28th Sunday B Rich Young Man

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 9, 2021
     | 1,278 views

    By the apostles leaving all of that, we can see that Jesus relativized all of the central institutions of his society.

    The rich young ruler is not boasting; he is just speaking as a devout Jew. Not all Christians are called to literally give away their possessions, but all disciples are called to give up everything by way of detachment; that everything we have ultimately belongs to God. Spiritual poverty means to ...read more

    The Resurrection Of Jesus Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 11, 2022
     | 5,160 views

    He is risen! He is alive! Jesus raised never to die again. Others in the New Testament were raised, but died again, like Lazarus. Jesus was raised from the dead and he shall live forever.

    The resurrection is the very central point and essence of Christianity. It is “of first importance” of the Christian faith. That essence and the importance is captured beautifully in For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the ...read more

    John doesn’t leave room in the kingdom of God for anyone who does not love his brother.

    Are you a loving person? Do you see yourself as someone who people would describe as loving? I’m not talking about warm and fuzzy, but loving… stubborn, sacrificial, I care about you and what is best for you and will do whatever I can to see that you get it– loving. As we look at God – what about ...read more

    Time To Engage: "Prioritize To Jesus"

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jan 12, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 758 views

    Making Jesus our priority means that we’re putting Him first on our list. If our priority is Jesus, where we prioritize our lives to Him, then everything else falls into place. And to make Jesus our priority, we need to look to Jesus’s life and see what He prioritized.
