Sermons on Feeding The Crowds:

Beyond The Scroll

Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 5, 2026

In 2026, it is easy to be connected to everyone but grounded in nothing. Are you building a legacy, or just consuming a feed? Move Beyond the Scroll and discover how to develop "20/26 Vision" trading temporary dopamine hits for the permanent Kingdom milestones that actually matter.

As we step into 2026, we find ourselves in a world obsessed with the momentary. We are programmed to "scroll" constantly seeking the next hit of dopamine or the next temporary distraction. We often talk about "20/20 vision," meaning we see things clearly as they are right now. ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 19, 2023

Keeping People From God Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Oct 15, 2012

Could it be that it is us who keep people from coming to Jesus? Just like the crowd obstructed the blind beggars from coming to Jesus, or the disciples from letting the children come to Jesus, we as Christians tend to pose obstacles to come to Jesus!

The blind men want to see Jesus. We know from Mark that one of those blind men were named Bartimaeus, and he had been blind all his life. First thing you see when you open your eyes is Jesus. I think that would be a wonderful thing! But we see that the crowd rebukes them. This is like the people ...read more
