    based on 51 ratings
     | 5,186 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

    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

    People come to church for all kinds of reasons, but the only "good" reason to be in church is to "see Jesus." Hebrews 10 tells us how we can make sure we have the right attitude in worship.

    It was Palm Sunday and, because of strep throat, the family’s 5-year-old son had to stay home from church with a baby-sitter. When the family returned home carrying palm branches, he asked what they were for. His mother gently explained. "Well honey, people held them over Jesus’ head as he ...read more

    The difference Jesus Christ makes at Christmas and in your life.

    I heard repeatedly on the radio this week that depression is very common during the Christmas holiday. I’m usually not an armchair researcher, but I believe much of the holiday depression comes largely from a wrong focus. For many, the focus is placed on an overweight-white-beard, old man, who ...read more

    A sermon on the overcoming life that Jesus calls us to have.

    I must mention that I get very frustrated when good preachers avoid hard texts or leave them out altogether. As far as our text is concerned men will preach about the blood of Jesus. They will joyfully point out the need for personal testimony. Never in my 34 years of listening to preaching have ...read more
