    Within seconds, Elisha decides to leave all of his wealth and family to follow this radical prophet. Elisha went from the CEO of Elisha Farms to being Elijah’s apprentice. He went from inheriting a fortune to making copies and getting coffee for the prophet

    Trusting God in really challenging times in your personal life is really difficult to do.

    Peter told Jesus "we've left everything to follow you. What do we get?" Jesus wasn't put off by the question. In fact, the end of each of the messages to the churches proclaims rewards for those who overcome. This is a brief overview of each.

    God chose Abraham to father a nation. He didn't always get it right. But he, along with his wife Sarah, teach us valuable lessons: to trust in God's sovereignty, to wait for God's timing, and to follow God's leading as we walk by faith.

    Genesis 12:1-4 Blessed to be a Blessing Do you ever wonder why God seems to bless some people with extra helpings of blessings? And some people seem to sense more easily how God wants to guide them, how God wants to lead them? Abraham was such a guy. The Bible’s “Hall of Faith” in Hebrews chapter ...read more

    The Star Trek series wasn’t the first “Star Trek” on record. 2,000 years ago there were wise men or “Magi” who followed a star looking for Israel’s long-awaited King.

    THE ORIGINAL STAR TREK Matt. 2:1-12 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A Jewish lady named Mrs. Rosenberg many years ago was stranded late one night at an Eastern European resort - one that did not admit Jews. 2.

    I ask the question, how well do we know our commander in chief, Jesus? Do we allow him to help in the many battles we face throughout our lives. How prepared are we to follow his example of servant-hood.

    Servanthood: John 13 v1-16 At the American Revolution a man in civilian clothes rode past a group of soldiers repairing a small defensive barrier, their leader was shouting instructions, but making no attempt to help them.

    Many believing spouses are “unequally yoked” and fear their kids will follow their lost spouse. Acts 16 describes a young man who grew up in an unequally yoked home, yet was of great value to the early church. A hopeful sermon for the unequally yoked.

    Hope for the Unequally Yoked Series: Acts Chuck Sligh October 2, 2016 BLURB: Many believing spouses “unequally yoked” to an unsaved spouse.

    But following Jesus is a radical lifestyle, and Jesus asks us if we are willing to do the same. Are we willing to give up some of what we have, that others might not go hungry? Are we willing to give out of what God has given to us?

    Have you ever heard of the saying, “Every dark cloud has a silver lining”? If so, then the story of the loaves and fishes is a good example. Let me explain. This story happens just after the death of John the Baptist. When Jesus heard that his cousin was beheaded, he did what most of ...read more

    Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Evidence Of A Shepherd's Heart

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 6, 2021
     | 1,966 views

    When Paul arrived in Athens, he was grieved over the rank idolatry of the city with statues and temples dedicated to various gods and goddesses. He knew that the Gospel had to be proclaimed. Souls hung in the balance. This is the heart of a man of God and the example we need to follow today.

    When Paul arrived in Athens to wait for Silas and Timothy to join him, he looked around the city and did not marvel at the beauty of the city's temples or the culture or anything typical of a tourist's curiosity. If he were to be classified as a "sightseer", the sights he saw ...read more

    Contributed by James Jackson on May 2, 2020
     | 5,120 views

    A disciple is someone who imitates the example of Jesus and who follows the instructions of Jesus no matter how often he gets interrupted by the world. Today, we’ll look at how that played out in the life of one disciple, in one of the most famous stories in the Gospels.

    What is a disciple, Part 2: In the Eye of the Storm Mark 6: 45-52; Matthew 16:22-33 We are in the second week of talking specifically about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.

    Aligning ourselves with God's will is not just about following rules, but about surrendering to His plan and purpose for our lives. In this sermon, we will explore how to align ourselves with God's will, understanding that it leads to a life of fulfillment, peace, and purpose.

    God Tests Obedience, Not Loyalty - By Pastor Ondu Joseph

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Feb 17, 2025
     | 566 views

    Loyalty without obedience is meaningless. God does not test how much we claim to love Him; He tests whether we will follow His commands. Let us strive to be not just hearers of the Word but doers, walking in full obedience to His will.

    Scripture: 1 Samuel 15:22 - "But Samuel replied: 'Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.'" Introduction: Many believers equate loyalty to God with ...read more

    People matter to God and therefore, people should matter to us. God wants everyone who is lost to be found and that's why God gave the great commission to the followers of Jesus. We must go make disciples who make disciples.

    Introduction: A. One day, an antique collector was walking through the city when he noticed a mangy cat lapping milk from a saucer in the doorway of a store and he did a double take. 1.

    These four men make up the second group of apostles who were chosen by the Lord Jesus to preach the Gosepl These four men came from backgrounds of devotion, doubt, and isolation, yet Jesus chose them to be His followers commissioned to present the Gospel to the world.

    The names of Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, and Thomas are listed after the inner circle of Peter, James, and John. Jesus called Philip personally, showing that He is the “seeking Savior”. Philip was from Bethsaida, the home of Peter and Andrew. These men had probably known each other all their ...read more
