    We are called on to continue Jesus’s work. We are called on to be shepherds, witnesses of God’s love. We are to be there for each other. We are to care for and support one another. We must put ourselves in the path of evil when necessary.

    John 10:11-18 is part of a longer discourse in which Jesus tells his disciples and us that he is the way to heaven and eternal life. In this passage he explains this concept by comparing himself to a shepherd. The image of a shepherd was one that was common among members of his audience. Palestine ...read more

    Following Jesus is a radical lifestyle, and Jesus asks us if we are willing to do the same. Are we willing to give up some of what we have, that others might not go hungry? Are we willing to give out of what God has given to us

    Have you ever heard of the saying, “Every dark cloud has a silver lining”? If so, then the story of the loaves and fishes is a good example. Let me explain. This story happens just after the death of John the Baptist. When Jesus heard that his cousin was beheaded, he did what some of ...read more

     | 423 views

    This sermon calls us to love like Jesus by fully loving God and to love others above ourselves. It should move us to use Jesus as the example on how love should be.

    Imagine a world where love was the foundation of every decision, every action, and every interaction. Picture a community where people went out of their way to care for one another…not because they had to, but because they wanted to. Let me share a story to help us see this: There was a young boy ...read more

    Sermon # 39 - Possible With God Alone Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 24, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 253 views

    The one thing that is a chief contender for our love and allegiance to God is the riches of this world. If we desire to inherit eternal life we must choose to know God, love Him above all else and keep money in its rightful place. What seems impossible with men is possible with God alone.

    We read in Mark 10:27, “Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” (ESV) Mankind has advanced in leaps and bounds in science, technology, industrialization and medicine. However, all of these progressions have still left us ...read more
