Contributed by Don Schultz on Jan 27, 2010

In a crisis, faith can disappear without Christ

WHERE IS YOUR FAITH? Lost in a crisis. Found in Christ. Luke 8:22-25 One day Jesus said to his disciples, "Let's go over to the other side of the lake." So they got into a boat and set out. 23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and ...read more

Working It Out

Contributed by Jane Willis on Oct 18, 2004

Work gets overwhelming. The people we work with seem hurtful and self serving. Yet, work is a place where we live out our faith--a setting where we must learn to be more Christlike.

It is a story about one women working in the kitchen and making preparations to entertain guests while her sister is involved in spiritual pursuits and assisting directly in the ministry of Jesus.

The Works God Requires

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 27, 2017

In the sixth chapter of John Jesus is interacting with "followers" who have been raised with and external, works-centered holiness. Jesus boils it all down to one simple action; an action which is not possible without the work of God Himself.

As we prepare to read this text that Jesus has miraculously fed the five thousand with five small barley loaves and two small fish, and, after everyone had eaten their fill the disciples picked up twelve baskets of ...read more

Laborers In The Vineyard

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 18, 2014

The parable of the vineyard in Matthew 20 is almost mind boggling in scope and what can be extracted from it. In this sermon we are taking a look at the relationship between the owner and the workers and becoming an employee and the "doing".

Now we need to remember that we can never take a scripture out of context. Just before this the Rich Young Ruler asks Jesus in Matthew 19:16b (NASB) “Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?” “Do” This was an underlying foundation in the mind of ...read more

Jesus Disrupts Dead Religion Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Feb 22, 2024

Jesus disrupts the old system of death and sacrifice, bringing in a new system of love and mercy. He challenges corruption and exploitation, and disrupts our lives to remove anything that hinders us from living abundantly in His love.

Imagine you're at your favorite concert, but instead of enjoying the music, people are selling stuff and ripping you off. That's what Jesus walked into at the temple.

Work

Contributed by Gary Bennett on Apr 5, 2001

Work - we’ll get God’s perspective on it - on why we do it and how we are to do it, and we’ll also talk about some of the practicalities of the kind of work that we do.

WHO WORKS? Could you put your hand up please if you get paid to work? And those who don’t get paid - if you do housework, or some type of volunteer work? I would have thought that everyone would have their hand up because everyone works. Children have schoolwork, and homework. Almost everyone has ...read more

The "Grace" Question

Contributed by Dr. William D. Poovey on Apr 24, 2015

Many church leaders say all we have to do is invite Jesus into our heart and we can do anything we like with the rest of our life without any concern of where we will spend eternity!.

The "GRACE" Question If we ask Jesus to come into our heart are we saved not matter what we do with the rest of our life? Will we see the open arms of Jesus if he comes back while we are molesting a 5 year old? Will the angels bid us upward as we lift a cigarette from the seared flesh of an ...read more

Establish Our Work
