    The first in a series on the life of Jesus through the book of John. Many things influence our perception of Jesus. This sermon attempts to open our eyes to the real Jesus vs. the Jesus we may have perceived him to be.

    Will the Real Jesus Please Stand Up John 1:1-18 The other day as I sat at my desk I was talking on the phone, communicating by Instant Messenger and answering email all at the same time. I also had the radio playing in the background. It was during this time that I glanced down at my Bible ...read more

    Spiritual Intoxication Part 1

    Contributed by Mark Wood on Feb 18, 2006
    based on 8 ratings
     | 3,788 views

    Dr. Wood used this sermon to show his listener that the first church was totally consumed with God and they did great things in His power. Unbelievers cannot understand the happenings of Christianity until they give their heart and life to Jesus Christ.

    When we hear the word intoxicate we instantly think of drunk with alcohol. Another definition: - To excite or Stimulate - To fill with High Spirits or fill with enthusiasm We will see a type of intoxication like never seen before. An Example Would be: Like the silver and the dross Dross must ...read more

    Go Tell It On Mt. Sinai Series

    based on 35 ratings
     | 9,525 views

    Being a Christian is not a negative thing, nothing but thou shalt nots; it is first of all a relationship with God, but marred by fear. So God gives us boundaries to receive as a gift, not a burden. That’s good news worth telling.

    The instant some people hear anything about Christianity they begin to conjure up negatives. For too many being a Christian is defined by what they are not allowed to do. “I don’t drink and I don’t chew and I don’t go with girls who do.” For too much of the world, being a Christian is a joyless, ...read more

    We need to be careful of what we ask for. When we ask for things of this world we just might get them. But, if we place God first we will have live that are truly touched and blessed.

    I remember one Sunday several years ago, just a couple of years after I went into the ministry. It had been raining non-stop for a couple of days. I was appointed, at that time, in farm country.

    During this incredible event two things are certain: Jesus performs His first miracle to reveal His glory, and, His disciples put their faith in Him. Would we respond by following Christ if we were there too?

    Changing Water into Wine John 2:1-11 Introduction Three year anniversary? - The gospel of John screams of the faith that we should have in Christ -- It is the clearest example of living life FOR the one who redeemed you and I - If we can learn to love others like Jesus’ … we can ...read more

    God will give us the strength and desire to let go of the things that hinder us from serving Him. If we follow Him, He will bless us spiritually. In order to be first with God, we have to be last in the eyes of the world.

    Stories of preachers' first sermons that were massive fails are legendary. Most preachers had a shaky start to their ministries. Not so Jesus. This sermon examines two important things He did to launch His earthly ministry.

    Contributed by David Smith on Oct 17, 2007
    based on 11 ratings
     | 4,661 views

    It’s the age-old theological question - why do bad things happen to good people? Jesus, as ever, doesn’t give us the response we expect.

    They say that philosophy deals with two sorts of questions: * Questions to which everybody knows the answer (eg. Do I really exist?). * Questions to which nobody knows the answer (eg. Why do I exist?). Religious teachers tend to deal the same sorts of questions, perhaps particularly questions ...read more
