Life Is Worth Living

Living In The Faith Dimension Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 28, 2018

The mountaintop is sweet because we commune with Jesus! But when you return to the valley, you will be ambushed by people who have all kinds of needs. That's why we should to always be a church built in the valley, not on the mountain.

INTRODUCTION Are you living in the faith dimension? We basically live in a three dimensional world. There are three dimensions to time: past, present and future. In terms of space, there is height, width, and depth. For many years, television and movies were shown in 2-D. But because of filming ...read more

The Cross Is A Way Of Living

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 3, 2018

Jesus predicts His death and Peter doesn't want this to happen, but Jesus' reaction is quite nasty: 'Get behind me Satan'. This seems so out of character for Jesus - so what is going on here?

THE CROSS IS A WAY OF LIVING. MT. 16: 21-27; Mark 8: 31-38 Today’s gospel reading is quite a strange story in the life of Jesus – He is quite nasty, definitely out of character. But the important thing here is to read or hear this story in the context of Peter’s human nature. This is the ...read more

Living An Impactful Life

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 4, 2016

We are called to be disciples of Christ and disciple-makers for Christ. Jesus challenges us to consider the cost commitment of discipleship, and not be distracted by the comfort and convenience this world offers.

Being the first Sunday of the year, I want to take some time to revisit our ES mission – to grow as disciples of Christ and be disciple-makers for Christ. Why are we doing what we are doing? Why is this important? Can we do something else, or can we not do this at all? • We are ...read more

Benefits Of Living For Jesus

Contributed by Jerry Owen on Feb 11, 2016

BENEFITS OF LIVING FOR JESUS Acts 7:55-60 There is a price to pay for following Jesus. Jesus told us that “If any man would be my disciple he must take up his cross and follow Me.” In those days the cross indicated a huge price to pay. Many times, though, we look at the price that has ...read more

All Lives Matter

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 3, 2021

We can learn how to treat one another by the example of how Jesus dealt with children. Jesus dealt with children in an anticultural manner.

To fully interpret and understand Jesus' words, one must understand the culture in which he lived. Children were treated differently than they are today. That does not mean that parents did not love their children as much as parents do today. Parents loved their children because they were ...read more
