    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jan 4, 2026
     | 96 views

    Launching into Chapter 6 in the Gospel of John, we see Jesus performing a miracle that so many are familiar with; but do we REALLY know (and understand) the complexity of the conversation being had around the feeding of the 5,000?

    Rooted In Jesus

    The fact that believers are in a state of being complete in Christ indicates that there is nothing of a higher spiritual blessing to be found anywhere else including, but not limited to, this false Gnostic philosophy found in Colosse.

    Opening illustration: There was once a farmer who went to town to purchase seeds for his farm. As he was returning home one of the squash seeds he had purchased fell from his pocket onto the ground. It happened that within a few feet was another seed of a different type. The place where the two ...read more

    May we be people who repent and experience God's abundant grace.

    "The Healing Balm of Repentance" Introduction: Today, we delve into the words of God found in 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 (NLT), which says, "At times I might shut up the heavens so that no rain falls, or command grasshoppers to devour your crops, or send plagues among you. Then if my ...read more

    Walk In Faith - Understanding God Is Sovereign Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Oct 10, 2013
     | 3,965 views

    Jesus said that, "all authority has been given to Him on heaven and earth." This is His claim of absolute sovereignty. This means that He is the boss of everything.

    Have you ever had a boss you didn't like? According to Forbes magazine over 2 million Americans quit their job every month because they don't like their job. Of those 2 million 31% didn't like their boss. For those who hate to do the math that is about 620,000 people a month who quit because ...read more

    Victory In Jesus Series

     | 13,988 views

    Far too many believers live defeated lives. The Lord is never pleased when we surrender to our difficulties and admit defeat. Granted we can't overcome within our own ability, but with the help of the Lord, we can live victoriously.

    Victory in Jesus 1 John 2: 1-6 As I studied this passage, I was reminded of the relationship John enjoyed with Christ. He was part of the inner circle, one of three that were closest to Jesus. I am convinced Jesus didn’t love those three more than the others, but they were privileged to ...read more

    Fishermen NEED to fish. They love to fish, and if it is a person’s livelihood, they HAVE to fish! Jesus was about to teach an old fisherman a new way to fish...and a new fish to target.

    February 7th, 2010 – Fishing for a living Jesus is born, Jesus grows up, Jesus is baptized, filled with the Holy Spirit and He is tempted by Satan for 40 days in the desert…what a beginning to Jesus’ ministry here on earth, preaching that people need to repent, as the kingdom of ...read more

    God is a light in the darkness of our lives and culture. Jesus highlites three things through his ministry which is evident in all four Gospels: 1) We are ALL God’s children; 2) God loves us no matter what; and 3)Love is the most powerful weapon in the w

    However, there will come a day of reckoning, a time of harvest when the separation between the righteous and the wicked will occur. The harvesters will gather the weeds and throw them into the fire, while the wheat will be brought into the owner’s barn.

     | 2,691 views

    Jesus compared his disciples to juicy grapes attached to a healthy, living vine. How important is it to bear fruit? What happens when we become lazy or self-centered and stop bearing fruit? How dependent are we on being attached to Christ?

    A Tour of John 15:1-17 We Are Planted and Pruned to Produce Juicy Fruit 1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. 3 You have already been pruned for ...read more

    Our minds want a god we can control, but that’s not following Jesus

    Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32He said all this quite openly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33But turning and ...read more

    Jesus promises His followers His peace. Think about that for a moment and let it sink in to your heart. It’s powerful. In our most desperate times when our hearts are heavy, Jesus gives His peace and it surpasses all understanding.

    To avoide harsh and incorrect judging, recognize your limitations, remember your personal debt to God, and admit your own weakness.
