     | 16,506 views

    As believers we need to be devoted to the teaching, the fellowship, the breaking of bread, and to prayer. The challenge is to ask ourselves, "Are we?"

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,728 views

    Jesus explains more fully about submitting to Him and we are challenged to “deny [ourselves] and take up [our] cross and follow [Him].” This is not easy, but does speak to our soul and the judgment to come.

    M16: DENY SELF MATTHEW 16:24-28 #m16sermons INTRODUCTION For the past few weeks, we have been digging into Matthew 16: In 16:1-4, we saw that the proof of Who Jesus is comes by His death, burial, and resurrection.

    True discipleship means trusting and following Jesus even when his words challenge us, because only he offers the life our hearts truly need.

    Friends, I’m so glad you’re here. Some of us arrive with hearts humming like a highway—noise and nagging worries at every mile marker.

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,255 views

    An challenging exploration of what it means to be the church here and now. This is a re-work of a much older sermon of mine, which feels as relevant now as it did years ago. The analogy was used from another source, although I cannot now remember where that source is.

Questions such as Pilate asking what is truth, or what is power, and today our Gospel leaves us with another when he asks his ...read more
