    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 4, 2004
    based on 16 ratings
     | 5,452 views

    Jesus’ followers are to submit to His Lordship and do His will. If we are to submit ourselves to the Lord, we must begin with a broken, teachable spirit. That teachable spirit is described for us in the "beautiful words," the Beatitudes"

    The Blessing of Brokeness (Matt. 5:1-6?) Intro 1. We all have our dreaded moments: medical tests, standing on the scale, childbirth, sea-sickness, nursing home…. 2. One of my dreaded moments is beginning right now—preaching through the Sermon on the Mount…. 3. The Sermon on the Mount contains ...read more

    This is a lesson for primary age children used in the Awana program. It deals with Peter's confession that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.

    Peter’s Confession: Luke 9:18-20, Matt.16:13-20, Mark 8:27-29 Jesus and his disciples were traveling in the north part of Galilee when Jesus asked them a question he had never asked before. “Who do the crowds say that I am?” That sounds like a strange question, but his men ...read more

    Come And See Series

     | 7,177 views

    Christianity is experiential. Jesus invites John's disciples to come and see. He invites us to come and see, also. When we look expecting to see Jesus we see him all around us. The Holy Spirit transforms us and excites us when we see Jesus.

    John 1:29-42 “Come and See” INTRODUCTION In a few moments, we’re going to flash a picture on the screen. I’d like you to count how many saguaro cactus there are in the picture. We’ll give you ten seconds to count them. Are you ready? [Show picture] Now, can you ...read more

    Why Did Jesus Have To Die?

    Contributed by Ray Mckendry on Apr 1, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,568 views

    Jesus was not just a good man with a good example to share. He was something much more. Jesus was the substitutionary sacrifice we all need because we sinned against God and cannot offer a sufficient payment to cover our debt.

    Why Did Jesus Have to Die? I can see why the good actions of Jesus may cause some people to emulate him. I can even see that it may lead to better lives, but I cannot see how His example can change their hearts! Alan Scholes, a former agnostic testifies from his experience: “I had often heard my ...read more

    King For A Day

    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,100 views

    Could it be that many who followed Jesus into Jerusalem turned away from him when they realized Jesus was not going to overthrow the government? Do we seek our own selfish agenda through Christ or is He truly our King?

    King for a Day Luke 19:28-48 The word Hosanna is a Greek word which is translated from the Hebrew word hoshiiah na which means save now. A few weeks ago we learned Jesus was called Yeshua Hamashia or Jesus the Messiah. Today we celebrate and remember how Jesus was King for a Day as he rode into ...read more

    Behold The King: The King’s Earthly Kingdom Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 19, 2018
     | 6,130 views

    When Jesus returns and reigns on earth, what will it be like? The Jewish people largely understood their Messianic King would reign, but did not understand He would come twice, first as sacrifice for sin, then as the King of the earth.

    Behold the King: The King’s Earthly Kingdom (Psalm 72) 1. Sally is flying out to meet her boyfriend. She falls asleep on the plane and dreams about this gorgeous diamond ring he'll give her. When she opens her eyes, she spots an even bigger diamond on the finger of Mrs. Goldstein, a matron sitting ...read more

    A Contrast in Twelves (Mark 5: 21-43) 1. There are quite a few number jokes out there. • What did the zero say to the 8? Nice belt! • Why is the number six so scared? Because seven eight nine! • What has 6 wheels and flies? A garbage truck. • 6 out of 5 people have ...read more

    Good Things Come To Those Who Wait

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jul 9, 2015
     | 8,558 views

    When we receive the bread and wine during Holy Communion, we are holding Christ’s very body and blood, which was nailed to the cross and poured out for our forgiveness. We have seen it with our own eyes and felt it with our own hands and on our tongues.

    Have you ever heard of the old saying, “Good things come to those who wait”? If so, the story of Simeon, Anna and the baby Jesus in the temple in Lune 2:22-40 is a good example. The coming of Christ involved all manner of waiting on God. A young maiden, a dying man and an old widow all ...read more
