    Jesus Is...friend Series

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Jul 25, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 14,095 views

    A sermon dealing with what it means to call Jesus "Friend."

    Jesus is…Friend John 15: 9 – 15 Jesus is friend. Saying Jesus is friend sounds a bit too personal, too informal, or a bit too friendly, even. Jesus is Lord. Yes, that sounds appropriate to us. It exalts him. He is Lord, high and lifted up. Jesus is Savior. Yes, that too. It defines his ...read more

     | 20,561 views

    The Gospels record 17 specific occasions when Jesus prayed. Jesus prayed at different times of the day. He prayed in different places. Sometimes He prayed on His own, and sometimes when His Disciples were with Him.

    Why did Jesus pray? This morning as we continue in our series on Dynamic Disciples our focus this month is on Prayer. The Bible records the words of 222 specific prayers - actual worded prayers, not just references to prayer with statements like he prayed or he called upon the name of the Lord, ...read more

    Putting Our Love Into Action Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2016
     | 14,159 views

    Our efforts for the Lord will be futile without love. We know the Bible commands that we love one another, and yet we fail to fully heed the command. Our world needs to experience love in action, not just in word.

    Putting our Love into Action 1 John 3: 11-17 Our text this evening continues to deal with the great theme of love that John has already dealt with extensively. I suppose there is no wonder John felt so impressed to emphasize love among the believers. He was blessed to walk with the Lord, studying ...read more

     | 51,580 views

    Obedience and faith are essential to our Christian lives and witness before others. There is great benefit in following the Lord, and as we do, we have the potential to make an impact on the lives of others.

    The Obedience of Obed-edom 2 Samuel 6: 10-12 Our text today records an event that transpired while David sought to move the ark of God back to Jerusalem, and place it within the Tabernacle. Many years earlier the ark had been captured by the Philistines in battle, but they were unwilling to keep ...read more

    Luke 11:1-13 July 28, 2016 I can remember like it was yesterday when I first considered going into seminary.
