    The Call To Discipleship Part 2: False Starts Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Aug 23, 2021
     | 2,941 views

    We did to have excuses when the going gets tough. Jesus' call is for total commitment. All Scripture references are from the NASB.

    When Jesus calls us to follow Him, to be His disciples, Jesus did not call for any halfway measures. How many of us, after the holidays, or before summer season starts say we are going to diet, join a gym, and get healthy? With good intentions we jump right into. However, by day 3 of our diet, ...read more

    Zedekiah, The False Prophet With Fake Iron Horns Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 4, 2025
     | 699 views

    A false prophet named Zedekiah used some unusual visual aids to reinforce his message. One small problem, though: his message didn't come from the LORD!

    Introduction: This second message is about Zedekiah, probably one of the worst false prophets ever. He lived during the days of Ahab and Jehoshaphat but caused a great deal of grief for many people in both Israel and Judah. His “visual aids” didn’t help, either! The setting for this “prophecy” ...read more

    Imagine a major league baseball player refusing to get into the batters box because he doesn't get a hit every time up. Yet that's how many of us approach prayer. We let a few strikeouts keep us from swinging for the fences!

    The Da Vinci Code: Fact Or Fiction (Part One: Can The Bible Be Trusted?)

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 5, 2006
    based on 125 ratings
     | 7,164 views

    In the light of The Da Vinci Code’s accusation that what we read in the Bible is fiction, this message looks at four of the main accusations against the accuracy of the Bible and explains why the Bible can be trusted.

    - Why are we going to talking about The Da Vinci Code over the next few weeks? Well, there’s a couple of reasons: 1. Dan Brown’s book makes some serious claims about Jesus that strike at the heart of what we believe. Because of the enormous popularity of this book and the likely blockbuster ...read more

    Why Jesus wouldn’t have married.

    DaVinci Cold The whole ballyhoo about the DaVinci Code has left me cold. Unbelievers are expected to create trash, rumors, and heresies about Christ. That is basically what they do so this and the Gospel of Judas, the Lost Books, etc, etc ad infinitum and ad nauseum will always be with us. ...read more

    based on 31 ratings
     | 6,308 views

    This message looks at Mary Magdalene’s biggest scene in the Bible - not as Jesus’ wife, but as the first person to meet the risen Savior.

    The Da Vinci Code’s Claim: “Mary Magdalene’s most important role was being married to Jesus.” - As we noted last week, Dan Brown claims in his book that Mary Magdalene is of monumental importance because she was married to Jesus. (We also noted that Brown claims that she had a child with Jesus ...read more

    This sermon looks at the call by John to Test the Spirits and how we can do that today. It introduces and challenges people to test the Da Vinci Code book and movie through the what we learn in the passage.

Ecclesiastes 1:9, “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” That is certainly true of parenthood (as I raise my kids, it is interesting to see and hear some of the same excuses I gave my parents, ...read more

    Jesus is the new covenant that God promised to his people in Jeremiah 31:31-34. In Jesus, God united us to him with bonds that can never be broken, and through this new covenant, we and Jesus can look death in the eye and see victory.

    Today’s Gospel passage marks the beginning of a change in Jesus’ ministry. The coming of the Greeks is seen as anticipating the coming of the Gentiles into the community of believers. While it is true that before the events in our Gospel reading Jesus spoke to the woman at the well and ...read more
