     | 6,038 views

    In part 2 of a message on Mark 1:16-18 Pastor Jonathan talks about the mission statement of Thomas Road Baptist Church, specifically the fourth value: connection with community.

    Lord, today we thank you that you are all we need. We thank you that in the midst of our brokenness and heartache, in the midst of the challenges we all face, we stand here humbled by your grace and your love and your mercy. We don’t deserve it, God, but you give it, and you give it freely ...read more

    What Satan has always wanted: worship of men and angels

    Seventy five years ago this October, in 1938, masses of people were duped across the United States. Orson Welles, radio actor and director of Mercury Theater, unintentionally created the greatest case of mass hysteria ever seen.

    Now that you are born again, what's next? Paul says in Phil. 3:7-11, "Whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ." As follower of Christ, we need to have a renewing of our minds to this idea of "profit & loss" from a worldly vie

    To start, I just want to say that I am a fan of Jeremy Lin. Because of Jeremy, he got me interested in watching basketball again. There is nothing wrong being a fan of someone you admire – just don’t make him an idol in your life. My main point today is about: Are we a FAN or FOLLOWER ...read more

    There’s a shop on the corner of OBLIGATION STREET and RECIPROCITY. It advertises free tickets, scratch-its, gifts, invitations, free samples, biros, key-rings, 2 for one. All designed to make me feel OBLIGATED to give or buy or comply or compromise in som

    Matthew 7:12 – STOP FOLLOWING ME! I was looking at Instragram photographs recently. On the most popular photographs, so many people made comments such as “I will like you 5 times if you like me”. It was as blatant as that (and as pathetic). They scream “Make me popular, ...read more

    Marriage And The Jesus Follower - Changing Who You Are Is Necessary Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 17, 2013
     | 3,075 views

    Followers of Jesus are affirmed by God because of who Jesus is, not because of who we are as an individual. God never accepts us for who we are, He accepts us because as followers of His Son, we are who we are because of Jesus. And God accepts Jesus.

    Hebrews 13:4 "Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery." Our goal as followers including those of us who are married is to remain faithful. We started the series on Marriage and the Jesus ...read more

    Follow And Serve The One Who Will Never Leave You

    We must use the courage that a life in faith with God gives us to live a life that is more revolutionary than our secular world or any other non-Christian faith. God will give us the courage to work like army commandos.

    If I told you that religion is not the same as Christianity, would you be surprised? Religion is man's attempt to reach God. It focuses on our deeds. It is the broken cistern referred to in Jeremiah 2:4-13. Christianity is God's attempt to reach man. We are meant to be fully in relationship with ...read more

    HoHum: A judge was interviewing a woman regarding her pending divorce, and asked, "What are the grounds for your divorce?" She replied, "About four acres and a nice little home in the middle of the property with a stream running by." "No," he said, "I mean what is the foundation of this ...read more

    His right hand upholds us.

    FOLLOWING HARD AFTER GOD, EVEN IN THE MIDST OF TROUBLE. Psalm 63:1-11. As we enter into Psalm 63, there is both an intimacy with God, and a yearning after God.

    We are called to witness; to disciple; to give others what we received and tell about the One who has redeemed us. With this knowledge, Christians need to consider the answer to one crucial question in their life: "God, can I be obedient to you?"

    How our witness testifies to who we follow Galatians 6:7-10 Introduction - If the church is faithful to obey, souls would always be impacted for Him - Today, we will look at our role in church growth (impact of outreach) - Centering on our witness for Christ and how our lives must reflect Him - ...read more

    Following Jesus, I mean really following him... That's the mission. It's not a social club or a tradition. It's a vital experience, and it takes work. It's wonderful. It's beautiful. The feelings and experiences are so surreal.
