    Did You See Jesus Walking?

    Contributed by Joe Rowland on Apr 1, 2011

     | 4,967 views

    Jesus is showing us the path of life, and He wants us to see Him while we are on this journey. Just like Moses had to turn when he saw the burning bush, God wants us to see and turn from the direction we are going and to follow Him.

    Did You See Jesus Walking? Psalm 16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. I am entitling this today: “Did you see Jesus walking?” In Psalm 16:1 we see where David is asking God to preserve him; He ...read more

     | 4,807 views

    This is the 22nd Sermon in a series we've been doing on John's Gospel. In this particular sermon we look at how Jesus' own brothers originally did not believe in Him, and how the world hates Christ and those who follow Him.

    Jesus gives Hope for Families (John pt. 22) Text: John 7:1-13 About a week and a half ago, one of Leslie’s friends from college called her… that’s not unusual… Leslie and Gabby have a lot of friends, and they’re always talking to them. What was unusual was that she wanted to talk to Leslie AND ...read more

    Despite the continued opposition of the religious leaders, JESUS continues to fulfill his mission and show compassion for those in need. Dealing with Sin and Sickness, and our calling to not only follow HIM, but to help bring others to HIM. The LORD of the Harvest call you, "Help Wanted"

    BIG IDEA. OPPOSITION INCREASES, HEALING MINISTRY CONTINUES.

    Excuses Series

    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Oct 2, 2010
     | 5,225 views

    We all have excuses for not responding to Jesus' call to follow him. Life is hectic, complicated and filled with items that claim our attention. We have one reason, though, to respond to Jesus' challenge--his love and grace.

    Luke 9:51-62 “Excuses” INTRODUCTION One of the most memorable illustrations that I’ve ever seen involved a glass container similar to what I have here and rocks of various sizes. Using the rocks the demonstrator underscored and important lesson in life. Just when we thought ...read more

    Counting The Cost Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,858 views

    Jesus said that if we are thinking about following Him, then we should first add up the cost. If we have not considered the task ahead of time, then we may give up; and when this happens, it is a bad testimony to the world.

    This evening’s message is entitled, “Counting the Cost,” and it’s taken from a passage of Scripture that is sometimes called, “The Cost of Discipleship.” When Jesus spoke about the cost of discipleship He incorporated two parables to illustrate His point. One parable speaks of a tower builder and ...read more

    Learning To See That We May Follow

    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,238 views

    The Greek word for “roadside, road and ‘way’” are the same word. Bartimaeus ask for and received his sight. Upon seeing clearly, he got up and followed [Jesus] along the road… along the “way.”

    “What do you want me to do for you?” If Jesus were to come through the doors of this sanctuary this morning, walk up the center isle then suddenly pause, then turn to you and ask that question….how would you respond? Think about that question for just a moment. “What do ...read more

    A sermon about hearing God's call and acting on it.

    “I’m a Sinful Person” Luke 5:1-11 It’s been said that “Life is what happens to you while you’re making other plans.” The disciples didn’t get their call from Jesus when they were looking for it. Rather, it was at the end of a long, sweaty night, when they were discouraged and ready to pack it ...read more

    Our worries divide the mind. Anxiety splits our energy between today’s priorities and tomorrows problems.

    Following the Shepherd Psalms 23: 2 Ps 23 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of ...read more

     | 1,447 views

    These words of Jesus are popular: “Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Ah! The key words: "rest for your souls". It is a spiritual message. Yoke yourself to Jesus. He has obeyed perfectly and will share His salvation.

    "forgiveness: An Act Of Grace"

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Sep 13, 2023
     | 1,064 views

    The message is about our "walk" not "salvation". “The primary act of faith is forgiving. It is the characteristic act of God, the Father of Jesus Christ. If we follow him in faith, it is the first thing we do in our following. Quotes from Solzhenitsyn & Robert Hoyer

    In Jesus Holy Name September 17, 2023 Text: Matthew 18:15,21,22 Pentecost XVI - Redeemer “Forgiveness: An Act of Grace” The message today is not about how you can have peace with God. It is not about how you can be sure you will be in heaven when your earthly ...read more

    A Gracious Call To A Social Outcast Series

     | 2,874 views

    So many people today feel like they exist more than they live, thinking that everything in this world is against them and that no one cares. Matthew, the tax collector, is just such a case. It turned out that Jesus had a plan for him, and for you as well.

    Jesus' compassion for people is evident as we progress through this Gospel. This display of Divine love is recorded by Matthew and Luke as well. The Lord Jesus is not the exclusive property of any group or man- made religious system. Nobody can mold Him into one particular behavior to suit ...read more

    This past Wednesday marked the beginning of the season of Lent. Many people give something up for Lent. I’m not always sure people understand why they do it. It just seems like the thing to do because that is what others are doing. For some reason this is not something that growing up that my ...read more
