    Blessed Are The Persecuted

    Contributed by Kiley Garrison on Feb 19, 2007
    based on 24 ratings
     | 9,500 views

    The Bible promises that everyone who follows Jesus will face persecution. If we aren’t facing any opposition for our faith, maybe we should ask ourselves why.

    Small Group Discussion Questions When you hear the word "persecution," what do you think of? What images come to mind? What are some ways Christians are persecuted today? Do you think persecution is worse for Christians in other countries than in the United States? Why or why not? Can you ...read more

    Dominant Thought: Following Jesus means being willing to accept His plans for self-denial, and not being ashamed of the Lord Whose lifestyle and mission is contrary to the world's mode of thinking

    A guy was on a business trip and thought it would be nice to come home with a little gift for his wife. He stopped off at a perfume counter in a nice store. “How about some perfume?” he asked the clerk. She showed him a bottle of really nice perfume - $120. “Oooh, that’s ...read more

    Here is what Paul wants the Corinthians to understand and what the Holy Spirit would have us understand. What matters is to follow Jesus Christ wherever that may lead us.

    Introduction It has been three weeks since we have been in 1 Corinthians. You will recall that Paul has been admonishing the Corinth saints for division in the church and for their being enamored with worldly wisdom. The underlying issue, we noted, was the tension between the church and Paul, ...read more

    How To Enter God’s Heavenly Kingdom.

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Oct 15, 2023
     | 1,464 views

    An easy-to-read parable, but with the most powerful of meanings. It’s a bit scary in times but it clearly outlines our purpose in life, and the consequences; encouraging others to follow Jesus.

    Introduction: Years ago, I was introduced and became fascinated with the topics on the kingdom of heaven, however if I was to introduce or even describe this kingdom, I would not use this morning reading to do so, because although this reading appears relatively easy to follow, it is rather ...read more

    The 6th sermon in a series from the Gospel of John. In this sermon we look at the calling of Philip and Nathanael, and what we can learn from that event, and their life of following Jesus

    Learning to Walk by Faith (Gospel of John Part Six) Text: John 1:43 – 51 So, last week, we looked at how Andrew and by extension, Peter became disciples of Jesus… Today we’re going to see how Philip and Nathanael become disciples as well… and once again it’s going to be that “come and see” method ...read more

    Deny Yourself Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,458 views

    Denying ourselves means looking introspectively, living with open hands, and not looking back at what we've left behind in order to fully follow Jesus and experience abundant life.

    Today, we're going to talk about going "all in" for Jesus. You know, like when you're playing a game and you give it everything you've got? That's what we're talking about, but with our relationship with Jesus. So, let's dive in! Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up ...read more

    What does it Take to Follow Christ?

    Many Christians are only “Christaholics” and not disciples at all. • Disciples are cross-bearers; they seek Christ. o Christaholics seek happiness. • Disciples dare to discipline themselves, and the demands they place on themselves leave them enjoying the happiness of their growth. o Christaholics ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,720 views

    This is a sermon that explains that Jesus did not come save everyone. He saves only those who are willing to follow Him, who are sick and unrighteous.

    Who Did Jesus Come For? Matthew 9:9-12 Prayer Have you ever sat back and looked at all God has done for you. I mean have you ever really taken inventory of the things God has done for us so that we may live on earth? The first thing we would need to put down is that He created the Earth ...read more

     | 4,210 views

    Jesus perhaps in His longest public speaking unto those who were following Him speaks concerning what we call the "Beatitudes".

    The Sayings of Jesus Part 1 Matthew 5:1-12 As we have considered the walk of Jesus carefully learning how we should walk in this present world. We must also consider His sayings and the Sermon on the Mount in which we find the Beatitudes is the key to proper Christian living. Mention: Matt. 4:17 ...read more

    Those Feet Jesus Washed

    Contributed by Bradley Berglund on Apr 6, 2013
     | 6,617 views

    In spite of knowing what these disciples would do within hours, Jesus washed their feet and commanded them to follow His example: no excuse is acceptable.

    This story is significant because of its timing – Jesus was preparing for Calvary * Hours before His betrayal – * He was leaving those whom He loved dearly * Critical messages – often last minute orders WHAT IS FOOT WASHING? A Cultural Necessity: * Necessary because of the foot ...read more

    Jesus Victory Over Temptation

     | 458 views

    This message looks at the three temptations Jesus faced, why they truly were temptations, and how he overcame them, giving us a path to follow.

    Good Morning. How long can you play around with temptations without consequences? Kind of like asking how far over edge of the cliff can I safely lean. Sadly, this year has seen stories about church pastors who have fallen off that cliff and not only destroyed their marriages, but their churches, ...read more

    The Jesus Who Seeks And Saves Series

    How does Jesus respond when someone really seeks Him? He follows through--He makes sure the seeker finds Him!

    Over nearly 40 years as a pastor, one of the things I've learned is that when you sign up to be a pastor, you also sign up to be a point man in some very challenging situations. One of the challenging situations I've often been asked to take over has been when a beloved or in some cases, ...read more
