     | 6,431 views

    Introduction: A. In Psalm 119:103, David wrote: How sweet your word is to my taste - sweeter than honey in my mouth. 1.

    The focus of this sermon is to explore the possible meaning to the phrase "You are gods" in Psalm 82 and referred to by Jesus, and how it might apply to all believers today.

    Good Morning. A quick question. How many of you have ever seen the movie Of Gods and Men? How many of you have ever heard of the movie Of Gods and Men? A few of you.

    In this section of the Gospel of Mark, Mark presents some critically important contrasts between Jesus and the Scribes and Pharisees as Jesus clarifies the difference between truth and tradition, and between inward and outward righteousness.

    Introduction: A. Many years ago, the Washington Post carried a story about a man who was working on his farm in Wisconsin, when suddenly something dropped out of the sky into a field near him. 1.

     | 16,982 views

    In Mark 8:1-26, Mark directs our attention to the people around Jesus who are struggling with spiritual blindness in spite of the signs that they should clearly see and understand.

    Introduction: A. Have you ever noticed how we sometimes experience involuntary blindness? 1. Something might be sitting right in front of us, and yet we don’t see it; like, “where are my keys?” or “I can’t find my cell phone” or “where’s the pepper?” They are right in front of us! B. Sometimes ...read more

     | 3,258 views

    This passage of Scripture teaches us that when we pray to the Lord, and even give monetarily, that it is to be done entirely for Him and not as a public display for others. Every act of worship is to be seen only by an audience of One.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “An Audience of One,” based on a song by Christian music artist Big Daddy Weave. Allow me to share some of the lyrics of this song: “I come on my knees, to lay down before You; bringing all that I am, longing only to know You. Seeking Your face, and not ...read more

    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 4, 2023
     | 1,696 views

    As Jesus continued to privately teach His disciples in Mark chapter 9, we see that He focused on teaching them about pride and prejudice. It was important for them and for us to learn about humility and tolerance.

    Introduction: A. In last week’s sermon, we started a section in the Gospel of Mark where Jesus was privately teaching His disciples some very important lessons on discipleship. 1. The two lessons we explored last week had to do with prayer and the passion of Jesus. 2. In today’s sermon, we will ...read more

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 4, 2025
     | 673 views

    There's only one true Jesus, but there are many false concepts of Jesus whom people follow. Do you follow a religious Jesus who requires rituals and works for salvation. Then, think again.

    As we mentioned in our bulletin this morning, we begin a new series of messages today entitled "Meet the Real Jesus?' And I'm going to begin this morning by asking each of you here, "Which Jesus do you follow?" Now, yes, I'm anticipating some questions or comments which ...read more
