    On one side, the people could not wait to see Jesus leave. On the other side, they could hardly wait for Him to arrive. For in verse forty, we are told that Jesus ahd his discipled returned to the beaches of Capernum they were warmly welcomed by the mul

    The Lord and his disciples had returned to the boats following the casting out of the veil spirits from the demon possessed man. As they began to row away from the beach towards the northeastern shores of Capernaum, perhaps they could see a crowd of frightened and superstitious Gentiles, the same ...read more

    God Encounters: On The Road To Emmaus Series

     | 7,321 views

    This is about Jesus’ walk with the two on the Road to Emmaus.

    We don’t always get all the facts right away when something momentous happens. The day of 9/11 was filled with confusion and speculation. More confusing the closer to NYC and WTC. Recap Passion Week: triumphal entry, Last Supper, prayer, arrest, trial, execution, and burial. Now there were ...read more

    This is about Simeon’s and Anna’s encounter with Jesus in the Temple.

    We’ve been looking at God encounters: Abe, Jacob, Moses, Gideon, Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel. They pointed to the Messiah (Christ). We turn now to encounters in the NT; encounters with Christ. Outside of the shepherds, this is the first one. Read Luke 2:21-38. Verse 21 was eight days after ...read more

    based on 47 ratings
     | 15,822 views

    This is about Jesus and woman at the well.

    This is a rich passage. I could spend a couple months preaching from this passage. Give background of animosity between Jews and Samaritans. Women were marginalized. Read John 4:1-42. What does it mean that Jesus had to go through Samaria? Was it divine or geographically necessary? ...read more

    This is about Jesus’ encounter with the criminal next to him.

    Read Luke 23:39-43 using Lectio Divina method. Can you see it? Can you visualize the scene? Can you see the blood and the agony? Can you hear the mockers? Experience the moment. There are some things we can take away from this.  REVILING the REDEEMER This reflects the words of Isaiah ...read more

    We need to expect God to expand our vision and be ready to embrace the call on our lives to do kingdom work.

    These past three weeks we have focused our messages on discipleship. The first week Pastor Tim so adequately, and literally, unpacked for us the story of Elmo, I mean Thomas, the imperfect disciple and how Jesus accepts us and knows us for who we really are – our good and bad. The 2nd week I ...read more

    On the second Missionary Journey, the Church in Philippi is birthed with pain and injustice. Yet God used that to birth his Church there

    IC/NR 20-05-07 1. Introduction: I rather like the book of Acts, because it shows the Church in action, warts and all. It is a dynamic book, written as a sequel to Luke’s Gospel. And unlike Luke’s Gospel – we see Luke’s personal reminiscences appearing – in ...read more

    The Bridge Of A Personal Encounter (Series)

     | 5,972 views

    Christianity is more than a religion, it is a personal relationship with Jesus. The gods of this world are dead. Jesus is alive and well and He invites us to know him. Jesus takes marred clay and changes us.

    THE BRIDGE OF A PERSONAL ENCOUNTER By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com. (This is several part lesson.) DO I REALLY KNOW JESUS? IS MY EXPERIENCE WITH JESUS PERSONAL TO ME? AM I GROWING AND DEVELOPING CLOSER AND CLOSER. Jesus is much more than a religion, Jesus is all about a ...read more

    Have you ever been so excited to meet someone that you were almost scared? Or, have you waited for something so long that the closer the time comes to that day the more nervous and shaky you become?

    Happy “Encounter” Weekend, Everyone! A portion of one verse leading up to the Ten Commandments text is one of my favorite phrases in Exodus: “Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet with God” (Exodus 19:17a). So much took place following the manna and quail, showing that God was ...read more
