     | 735 views

    Explores Jesus as the Worthy King, the journey of the Wise Men, and the joy found in worship and adoration.

    Good morning, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ. It is indeed a joyous moment to gather together in this house of the Lord. It is a time to pause from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, to be still, to be quiet, and to reflect upon the Word of God. This morning, we're going to take a ...read more

    Let Jesus Pilot Your Boat

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,584 views

    In our voyage through life, we will encounter both smooth sailing and tempestuous seas brought on by raging storms or trials. We must realize that the Captain, Jesus Christ, is the only One who can pilot our boat safely into harbor.

    The first line of a well-known hymn says, “Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to Thy bosom fly. While the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high: Hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past. Safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last.”(1) Charles Wesley ...read more

    The demoniac was possessed by a legion of unclean spirits. One encounter with Jesus set him free, seated at the feet of Jesus fully clothed and in his right mind.

    Set Free Mark 5:1-20 Mark 5:1-5 (HCSB) Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gerasenes. As soon as He got out of the boat, a man with an unclean spirit came out of the tombs and met Him. He lived in the tombs. No one was able to restrain him any more – even with ...read more

    When You Least Expect Him Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,018 views

    Jesus taught that the Son of Man would return when we least expect him. This has implications for future, end-time theology as well as present-day, right-now living. Our Father wants us to live with expectant hope because He can show up in any situation at any moment.

    Today, I want to talk about surprises. You know, those moments when something unexpected happens, and it catches you off guard. I have this little gift box here, and there's a surprise inside. I'm not going to tell you what it is just yet, but I want you to keep it in mind as we go through our ...read more

    After your life falls apart, you can be changed by an encounter with Christ.

    A. WHY DID SHE TOUCH JESUS: MARK 5:24-35? 1. She did not want Jesus to touch her. She thought Jesus might become unclean if He healed her with a touch. “Whoever touches her shall be unclean” (Leviticus 15:19). 2. She wanted contact. She did not want to touch Jesus, just His clothes. “… anything ...read more

     | 900 views

    This message is a mash up of 2 other sermons I wrote on the first marker of the Way of Jesus platform, an initiative of the Evangelical Missionary Church of Canada. https://www.emcc.ca/can-we-help/individuals/following-jesus/insights/what-is-the-way-of-jesus/

    The Way of Jesus #1 - “I have begun following Jesus, and am depending on the Spirit of Jesus in my journey”. What does your life say? What does your life say? That’s an odd question perhaps, but I think it’s a good one. What does your life say? Today, in part, we’re going to consider what the ...read more

    A Glimpse Of Glory – The Transfiguration Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jul 28, 2023
     | 2,585 views

    The transfiguration fits with the theme of what Jesus was trying to get over to his disciples, that he must die and they must be prepared. Jesus took three disciples and led them up the high mountain.

    Have you ever had what you would describe as a mountaintop spiritual experience? A time when you felt so close to God you just caught a glimpse of glory. If so, it may have been a very emotional experience. Our faith is not based on emotional experience, yet at the same time, when those times do ...read more

    Explores the call to servitude, sacrifice, and courage in faith.

    Good morning, beloved. How wonderful it is to gather in the house of the Lord, to sit beneath His grace and mercy, to bask in His love and bountiful blessings. We are here not by accident, but by divine appointment, hand-picked by God Himself to be part of this family, this body of Christ. Today, ...read more

    Three Significant Things About Jesus Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 15, 2005
    based on 34 ratings
     | 6,909 views

    From this encounter with Jairus and the sick woman, we learn three things about Jesus: (1) No one who comes seek Jesus will be ignored; (2) No situation in your life will ever be a problem to Jesus, and (2) He always respond to your faith.

    Look at how Jesus treats people. Here we have a miracle inside of a miracle! Again we see two apparently hopeless situations. • Again Mark highlights to us Jesus as the Hope of the Hopeless; the Help of the Helpless. • The problem is not the ‘problem’ (sickness, difficulty…). Jesus can tackle ...read more
