    You might want to look up the word 'sycophant' in a dictionary. It well describes Jesus' opponents in this passage

    Jesus and the Sycophants John 5:31-47 Introduction Last week we talked about the heated discussion that erupted between The Jews who were angry that Jesus had healed and done other work on the Sabbath and Jesus. The Jews got further enraged when Jesus answered them in a way in which He had ...read more

    In this story, we see excuses, and an invitation that brought forth an alt[a]ration.

    GET ONBOARD Text: Luke 5:1-11 Luke 5:1-11  Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God,  (2)  he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their ...read more

    How Beautiful The Feet

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 6, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,996 views

    Those who carry the gospel have beautiful feet because of their commitment to God, and because they bring good news to the lost. This message will convict believers to share the gospel, and convict the lost that they need Christ.

    When I was in college couples would wear half heart pendants in order to express their affection. Each person wore half a heart symbolizing their incompleteness without the companionship of their significant other. There was one couple, though, that wore a different kind of necklace.

    We are called to be the light of this world. But do we know how to be one? On this exhortation, we will see 5 traits of a Christian who is worthy to be called a light of this world.

    Intro: There is a popular Christmas song entitled Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. In that song, the writer tells us not to go out in the storm since they have no place to go so he suggested everyone to stay at home and let the weather takes place. But today, it’s the opposite. We have a ...read more

    Be Present Among The Lost Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,147 views

    Some believers insist on keeping a safe distance from the lost, afraid of being contaminated by their behavior or being seen as guilty by association; and so they fail to share their faith with the ones who actually need their help.

    It is my desire to preach on real issues that we deal with as believers, so here’s a real observation to start off with: Some believers act like once they have received God’s forgiveness and been saved from their sins by the blood of Jesus Christ that they’re somehow better than the lost. However, ...read more

    A sermon urging listeners to bring people to Jesus.

    I heard a story about a dude who brought a friend to church who only typically attended twice a year: on Christmas and Easter (Chreaster). As they were walking out after the service was over – the pastor was standing at the door shaking everyone’s hands. He grabbed the dude’s ...read more

    An Extraordinary Commission (Part 2)

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 25, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 387 views

    Jesus gave His disciples a commission to go and preach; to not only do good deeds, but use words. He would provide them food, clothing, and shelter for their journey, and the Spirit would guide them to those receptive to the gospel.

    I have entitled our sermon this morning, “An Extraordinary Commission,” and this will be Part 2. The word “extra-ordinary” means “outside, above and beyond the ordinary,” which is what we saw in our last message, when Jesus gave His disciples “power over unclean spirits” (Matthew 10:1); and ...read more

    I’m going to do something different this morning as we get started. Normally, we read the scripture that is listed up on the screen as we get started, but today I want to read from Colossians 4:2,5-6 and then we’ll focus on the passage in Acts. As I read this, file it in the back of your mind ...read more

    Christ calls us to shine His light in everyday life, so that our actions reflect His love and guide others toward God’s glory.

    Some nights feel too dark. The text pings at midnight. The doctor’s tone is flat. The worry refuses to sleep. Yet even in a midnight room, a small nightlight steadies a child. A single candle hushes a whole room of shadows. That’s the math of heaven: a little light makes a life-sized difference. ...read more

    Today, our world is facing a terrible disaster and too many Christians are running in the wrong direction. I believe that it is time to become "spiritual first res-ponders" and start running toward the disaster. Thanks to Pastor Ben Gutierre

    “GO HOME” Mark 7: 4 When we see disasters, on the news, we most often remember the masses of people running FROM the disaster. But we also notice those who are running toward the trouble. We see the first res-ponders who rush in or people rushing home to do what they can to save their ...read more
