    Bill Bright, who is the founder of campus Crusade for Christ said this-in all the surveys we have done, all over the world, our research indicates that approximately 95% of all believers do not know how to effectively share their faith.

    “Real Disciples catch Fish” John 1: 35-42 When it comes down to sharing our faith I think there are two things that are pretty much true for all of us. First, every one of us want to see our friends and family come to know Jesus. I want to see everyone in this community come to Christ. That’s why ...read more

    As we see the calling of the first disciples, we are sensing that He is calling us into his mission to save the world.  Do we hear the call? Are we willing to take first steps to following the Master? Are we continuing in the mission?

    Hear The Call of Jesus   Luke 5:1-11 Introduction The public ministry of Jesus is not a solo mission. He needed and called disciples, some of which became Apostles, and they carried on the work that he founded and empowered. Even today disciples of Jesus are carrying the banner of ...read more

     | 8,003 views

    Being a disciple of Jesus requires more from us than just turning up for a church service, God is meant to have the central place in our daily lives. Are you willing to move to a different level of commitment in your Christian life?

    Our theme for 2016 is Dynamic Disciples. In the New Testament the word Disciple is used to describe the people who are committed to following Jesus Christ. Being a disciple of Jesus requires more from us than just turning up for a church service, God is meant to have the central place in our ...read more

    The cost of following Jesus is but a faithful recognition that he comes first.

    Sermon Text: Luke 14:25-33 Count The Cost! Dog owners often post signs on their property saying, “Beware of dog.” A friend of mine had one of those signs on his fence. The only problem was that his dog didn’t fit the warning. His dog was a lazy, old hound that barely moved. If anything you ...read more

    Follow Me!

    based on 4 ratings
     | 18,050 views

    Jesus' call of the first disciples reminds us that God takes the initiative to pursue us; that God calls us into relationship, not rules; and that God's mission becomes our mission: to teach, preach, and heal a hurting world.

    Matthew 4:18-23 Follow Me Today we’re talking about fishermen. Anyone here like to fish? Two avid fishermen go on a fishing trip. They rent all the equipment: the reels, the rods, the wading suits, the rowboat, the car, and even a cabin in the woods. They spend a fortune. The first day they go ...read more

    The First Shall Be Last, And The Last Shall Be First

     | 17,867 views

    Jesus says that it isn’t the religious folk who are first in the kingdom of heaven. It is those who are most open to turning their lives around who are first in line, those who take action when Jesus says, “follow me”.

    It’s painful to have someone you trust tell you that they are going to do something for you---and they don’t. Many of us can tell stories about people who have let us down by making promises and then not following up on them. For example, there is a story of a young widow whose husband ...read more

    Jesus specifically targets, in this passage, the excuses we might use to give half-effort when being His disciple.

    “Half-Way Discipl…” LUKE 9:57-62 INTRODUCTION… THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO HALF-WAY (P) There are somethings in life that we should never do half-way. Most things in life we should give our best effort, persevere, and see to completion. Giving half-effort while swimming means that you drown and ...read more

    Marks Of A True Disciple

    Contributed by Scott Sparks on Mar 2, 2005
    based on 8 ratings
     | 17,610 views

    Jesus gave us the example of true discipleship - to forsake all, to follow, & to Love one another. Our world tends to work to dilute the real message. However, if we can take hold of the basic truths, we can remain faithful to Jesus’ instructions.

    Marks of A True Disciple Luke 14:26, 33 (KJV) “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple…So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be ...read more
