    Stand Up For Jesus

    Contributed by Edward Frey on Oct 30, 2002
    based on 55 ratings
     | 10,991 views

    Faith in Christ enables us to stand up for him.

    An elderly man decided to oppose the system. He wasn’t being a rebel. He wasn’t out on a mission to be different. He was only following the Word of God that had passed down to him. But this made him stand out all the more. Of course, I’m speaking of Daniel. He lived in a unique period of ...read more

    We are in a spiritual fight, and we need to recognize that we have the necessary tools and forces to not give up, but to go to the last round where Jesus Christ will be the final victor, and peace, truth, and justice will prevail.

    Mark 9:38-50 “Just Let Jesus” Many of you are familiar with the blockbuster movie Rocky, in which a very muscular, physically fit, local Philadelphia guy, Rocky Balboa, fights the world’s heavy weight boxing champion Apollo Creed. In the first smash hit, Rocky fights Apollo for 15 rounds, but ...read more

    Jesus is the Good Shepherd who calls for His sheep to follow.

    *Ask the children in the congregation: If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? Why is it that no one ever says they want to be a sheep? It is never a mascot of a sports team. But from the Christian perspective, it is often seen as a romantic or complimentary thought to who we ...read more

    Jesus Loves Lingayats

    Contributed by B. D. B Moses on Sep 24, 2003
    based on 45 ratings
     | 4,895 views

    Our Commission from the Lord is to “go and make disciples” of all nations (peoples). Jesus loves the Lingayats and has a desire for the Lingayats to know the truth of His saving power.

    The Lingayats are the twelfth largest people group of India and the largest people group of Karnataka. Lingayats number 9 million people in the Karnataka state alone. A Lingayat is one who wears the Linga, a small spherical object that the Lingayat believes represents God. Lingayats are also ...read more

    based on 34 ratings
     | 10,972 views

    The saddest thing that can happen to a Church member is to go to the grave without receiving Christ into their life. You’ve heard the invitation over and over again but here are four practical steps that might be helpful.

    One bright and beautiful Sunday morning, people gathered in the church and listened to the organ play. Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the door, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from him. Everyone left except ...read more

    What does it mean to worship as Christ’s people

    I came across a comment by a missionary in Paraguay. Who wrote, “While …serving in Paraguay, a Maka Indian named Rafael came to sit on my porch. I was eating and went out to see what he wanted. He responded, "Ham, henek met." Again I asked what I could do for him, but the answer was the same. I ...read more

    If we feel like we don’t matter; in Christ we find that we matter a great deal.

Kenneth Emerson Sauer, Pastor of Parkview United Methodist Church, Newport News, VA www.parkview-umc.org There’s a song…and I think it’s by Bob Segar…the lyrics go like this: “I feel like a number, I’m just a number…” Well, I bet there are a ...read more

    Jesus Speaks In Parables Series

    based on 11 ratings
     | 5,351 views

    Only a few parables are found in Mark. Most of those are found in Mark 4.

    Mk. 4:1-34 JESUS SPEAKS IN PARABLES A. Recently, hearing about the trial of John Allen Muhammad, has seemed to be a mysterious case to me. 1. He had not only won the chance to represent himself as his own defense and lawyer - but I read that he is out to prove to the nation that he had ...read more

    Bringing People To Jesus

    Contributed by Howard Mcglamery on Nov 3, 2003
    based on 51 ratings
     | 5,185 views

    We often make excuses for not bringing people to Jesus. We look at all the obstacles and give up. These men in Mark 2 didn’t allow circumstances to become an obstacle in bringing this man to Jesus.

    Bringing People to Jesus Mark 2:1-12 Introduction Vs.1 1. There were four cities that were prominent in the life of Jesus. Bethlehem – Birth Nazareth – Grew up there Jerusalem – Crucifixion and resurrection Capernaum – Called His city (Matt 9:1) – Jesus did much of his ...read more

    Practical steps to maintaining our connection to Jesus and the impact on our lives.

    So how are you feeling about gas prices? I think I’m beginning to buy into the conspiracy theories. One thing I did learn that is kind of relevant to where we are today is how important it is to stay connected to the source. A pipe breaks between here and Tucson, we’re no longer hooked up to the ...read more

    What Jesus Desiers

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Nov 10, 2003
    based on 54 ratings
     | 7,229 views

    This sermon discusses the unity Jesus prayed for his people in John 17. It is the kind of koininia exemplified in the Trinity. This unity occurs because of change of heart rather than a change of organizational structure.

    What Jesus Desires John 17:10-11,20-23 2-20-02 This morning we want to talk about - What Jesus Desires as Reflected in John 17. We are prone to focus is on what we desire and how we can receive what we want and need from the Lord. That’s not wrong. God tells us to delight ourselves in Him and ...read more

    A look at the unique claims of Christ

    Pax Romana, Roman peace, held the empire together for centuries. Among it’s dictates was one concerning religion. It seems that if Rome took over a nation or people with their own religion they never made them switch to the Roman gods. Their thinking was sound…why give them a reason to rebel. ...read more

    A Sermon to encourage believers to deeper daily discipleship committments.

    Everywhere That Jesus Went Mt. 9 One of the benchmarks of a true disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ is whether or not he or she takes on His character. The Son of God was perfect in every way, and in this chapter I want us to consider the manner in which he conducted Himself as He performed His ...read more

    You do not doubt that God is able to work mightliy in your life. You know he can, but you may question if He will.

    If Jesus Can, He Will Matthew 8:3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. "I Will", one of most powerful statements ever made by our Lord Jesus Christ. We long to hear those words spoken into our lives, especially in ...read more
