    So when I say “disciple” what comes to your mind, for most we would call them Christians. But when we consider the term Christian as mentioned in Acts 11:26 was a term signifying the identification with Jesus as a follower

    The Sermon So Nice, It Got Preached Twice

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jan 5, 2025

    Our Old Testament Lesson brings us Isaiah 61, a wonderful lesson which speaks of the Messiah coming to redeem God's People. Jesus made this the first recorded sermon He preached in Luke 4, telling the men of Nazareth that He is the Messiah Isaiah told about.

    The Sermon So Nice It Got Preached Twice Good Morning!! We have a very special lesson from Isaiah this morning that I would like to dig into for my first sermon of the year. It’s good to use it as a first sermon, because it’s the text for the first “recorded” sermon Jesus gave. We can begin with ...read more

    "Another disciple said to him, ’Lord, first let me go and bury my father.’" Now this sounds like a reasonable enough request. I’m sure that Jesus, who cares so much about us, will agree to this. What does He say? Verse 22: ’Follow me, and let the dead b

    "Do Overs" We all have them. The disciples got a "do over", because Jesus was in the boat. Jesus makes people different. Making people different is why Jesus was born. Quote by a man who will not get a "do over" on Judgment day.
