Hungering For Jesus Series

Contributed by Pat Damiani on Oct 4, 2011

The purpose of Biblical fasting is to satisfy our hunger for God.

This morning we’re going to address a topic that frankly doesn’t get as much attention in the church as it does in the outside world around us. Fasting has actually become quite popular in our culture, primarily for physical reasons like weight loss and health. In fact, this week I went ...read more

Jesus The Word Series

Contributed by Mark Driscoll on Oct 12, 2011

John sought to bring the good news of Jesus in our own language and our own words to our own world that is dark and so desperately needed.

Before I get into John’s Gospel tonight, I have to do a lot of historical work for you, to give you some sort of foundational understanding. We’ll talk about Hebrew theology and its history. We’ll talk about Greek philosophy and its history, and seek to bring those together for you guys in some ...read more

Jesus Is That You?

Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Nov 3, 2011

There are 3D's of Christianity: Discouragement, Doubts and Disbelief. When all or any of the 3D's of Christianity happen, Christ begins to fade into the background of our life and that's a place where many are today.

Jesus is that you? Brenda and I have been looking at new TV's because our LCD flat screen was hit by a sponge ball by me or one of my grandsons while we were playing. There is a spot on the right side of the screen that looks like Alfred Hitchcock's profile. There are many TV's to choose from now a ...read more

Occupy Jesus Series

Contributed by Joe Adaline on Nov 13, 2011

The occupy Wall Street movement has missed the mark. It is faceless and pointless. People need Jesus as the center of life, a more abundant life.

In recent days, I have watched protesters, anarchists and the homeless camp in our nation’s parks and sit outside businesses and city halls with signs of protest. What is their point, what are they doing? Let’s look at a typical day in the life of a protestor. 10AM get up, 11 AM smoke, 12 noon, ...read more

Loving On Jesus Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 14, 2011

The old Gospel hymn says "Oh, how I love Jesus", but in John 14 Jesus implies that not everyone who says they love Him actually do. Just because I go to church regularly doesn’t mean I really love Him, so how can I know I really love Jesus like I say I do

OPEN: I love to sing, and one of my favorite Hymns is “Oh How I love Jesus”. Sing it with me now if you would: 1. There is a name I love to hear, I love to sing its worth; It sounds like music in my ear, the sweetest name on earth. CHORUS: O, how I love Jesus, O, how I love Jesus, O, how I love ...read more

Jesus Is Inclusive

Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Sep 19, 2012

Jesus claims in this reading that to be a disciple one needs to be inclusive to all. Jesus was inclusive and calls us to be inclusive. The sermons teaches us the dangers of not being inclusive.

Was Jesus Married?

Contributed by Mark Stepherson on Sep 22, 2012

A response to claims that "evidence" that Jesus was married is “apt to send jolts through the world of biblical scholarship - and beyond.”

Was Jesus Married? “Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales; rather, train yourself to be godly.” 1 Timothy 4:7 “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” 1 Peter 3:15 Popular characters tend to be used, ...read more

Jesus Knows

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 24, 2012

As we go through life’s hardships and difficulties and we are to be turning to Jesus but you might wonder, can Jesus really relate to what I’m going through? Let’s see what Jesus knows about the various things we go through in our lives.
