    Jesus Provides Food For The 4,000: The Response Of The Crowds, Pharisees, And Disciples Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jul 10, 2023
     | 1,754 views

    These four thousand people have probably been eating what little they had with them when they began following Jesus, which probably wasn’t much. They may have found sources of water along the way. But they’re now in a predicament.

    “Oh why didn’t I listen!?" The rich man cries out from the depths of hell, to this very day in 2023. He needed salvation dearly but could not see it. And he looked and saw Lazarus, comforted, in paradise. The rich man in sorrows, why didn’t he listen? He was rich, he was powerful, he did not ...read more

    Jesus returns to earth at the seventh trumpet to establish his eternal reign, judge the ungodly and reward His followers.

    This morning, we reach a milestone in our study of the Book of Revelation as we reach the halfway point. And as I’ve pondered the passage that we’ll look at this morning over the past couple of weeks, I’m convinced that there is a sense in which this particular passage is a pretty ...read more

    As we see the calling of the first disciples, we are sensing that He is calling us into his mission to save the world.  Do we hear the call? Are we willing to take first steps to following the Master? Are we continuing in the mission?

    Hear The Call of Jesus   Luke 5:1-11 Introduction The public ministry of Jesus is not a solo mission. He needed and called disciples, some of which became Apostles, and they carried on the work that he founded and empowered. Even today disciples of Jesus are carrying the banner of ...read more

     | 1,214 views

    This concludes our examination of the 7 churches of Revelation, and each of these churches has a very specific letter given to it. Although sometimes subtle, there is a very common theme to each letter: a church that allows the world to influence it is NOT being faithful to Jesus Christ.

    Alpha and Omega, Part 27, Revelation Part 4 The 7 Churches of Revelation (Part 2) Revelation 3:1-22 Introduction - Today we will conclude our examination of the 7 churches of Revelation -- Last week: Each of these churches has a very specific letter given to it -- Although sometimes subtle, ...read more

    "Commitment Issues" Series

     | 7,929 views

    Peter, like all of us, had commitment issues. He was the leader of the disciples but he denied Christ three times. He was impulsive. He cut off the ear of Malchus. But still he followed Jesus. There is hope for all of us.

    “Commitment Issues” John 18:15-18; 25-27 All of us have at least one. All of us have at least one sound; one noise that really annoys us. For some it is the sound of the dentist drilling in your mouth, for others it may be the sound of screeching tires on pavement or perhaps when kids used to rub ...read more

    We as the Body of Christ need to follow Jesus example to serve others so as to make an eternal difference in a person’s life. We need to go the extra mile like Jesus did!

    The Ecstasy Before The Agony

     | 1,091 views

    Religious excitement does not necessarily translate into spiritual worship. Rather, the one following Jesus must guard against being turned aside by that which appears good. Remember that good is enemy of the best.

    “The large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, ‘Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!’ And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just ...read more

    What is our destiny as believers? Why do we follow Jesus? What does Jesus offer those who are obedient? As sinners, can we ever know the grace of God? ABSOLUTELY! Let's look at these verses...

    21 But behold, the hand of him who betrays Me is with Me on the table. 22 For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!" 23 And they began to question one another, which of them it could be who was going to do this. 24 A dispute also arose among ...read more

    When I read John 14:6, I face a dilemma...with the challenge of following Jesus as Truth at a time when the concept of universal truth is in question.” (Chan, 2007)

    When I read John 14:6, I face a dilemma. I believe the truth, that is not the challenge. Dr. Mark Chan, scholar, theologian, author and professor at University of Nottingham, captures the problem for me. He wrote, “Our concern is with the challenge of following Jesus as Truth at a time when the ...read more

    This two part series focuses on the differences between Christian beliefs and how the label Christian does not fully describes those following Jesus as it did when the term was originally given to His followers.

    Christian Part 1 Scriptures: Act 11:26; 1 Peter 4:16; Matthew 7:13-14; 28:19 Introduction The title of my message this morning is “Christian” and I really want you to understand how this term describes someone who follows Christ today versus when it was first used some 2000 years ...read more
