Sermons on Following The Biblical Jesus:

Be Led By Jesus

Contributed by Richard Papafio on Nov 26, 2017

The blind man sees through the eyes of the one leading him. But the one who is not blind sees through His own eyes. Therefore the blind man leans on the understanding of he who leads him but the one who sees leans on his own understanding.

May the peace of the Lord be with you. Topic: BE LED BY JESUS John 9:39-41King James Version (KJV) 39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. 40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard ...read more

"Follow Him"

Contributed by Ronnie Knight on Nov 10, 2006

We have made discipleship into what we endeavor to become for Christ rather than what Christ endeavors to make us for Himself. This sermon should challenge each hearer to follow Jesus and let Him make them into what He wants them to be.

We live in a world of the “self-made” and the “self-proclaimed”. We ring this mind set into our Christianity. We make discipleship into what we endeavor to become for Christ rather than what Christ endeavors to make us for Himself. In our efforts to believe, belong and become we spend for to much ...read more

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Aug 19, 2019

This is the 20th sermon in a series we've been doing on John's Gospel. In this sermon we focus on seeking Jesus as He is the greatest treasure, the only meaningful gift, not necessarily what He gives us, but He, Himself.

What do you seek: The gifts or the Giver?

The Cost Of Following God

Contributed by Travis L. Billings on Nov 19, 2019

The cost of following God, Jesus Christ, could cost everything. Anyone can come to the altar and say a prayer. Anyone can cry out to Jesus and call upon Him. But will anyone be willing to forsake everything they have for Christ?

Ezekiel 24 WHY WE CONTINUE TO STUDY ON EZEKIEL 1. It helps us to see our sins more clearly. The fact that God called Ezekiel to be a watchman tells us a lot of what we need to know. God noticed that the people did not truly see what they were doing that was so wrong and they needed someone to hold ...read more

Contributed by Rick Crandall on Apr 1, 2014

We can still follow the steps of Jesus. God's Word shows us how. 1. We must repent (vs. 17). 2. We must respond to God's call (vs. 18-19a). 3. We must be re-created (vs. 19b). 4. We must rely on God for the catch (vs. 19c-22).
