    Jesus Came Down

    Contributed by Ian Johnson on Nov 16, 2005
    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,240 views

    Is it any wonder that the world finds it hard to follow Jesus? Often The only Jesus they are ever presented is hard, harsh and unloving. We are Jesus to the world; our actions speak louder than fifty street preachers. Jesus came down!

    JESUS CAME DOWN IAN JOHNSON www.papelim.org.nz “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.” – 2 Corinthians 8:9 (NIV) What does that mean, “he became poor”?

    Jesus Walks On The Water Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jun 24, 2023
     | 1,938 views

    What’s the deeper message here for us today? It’s the gospel hidden in plain sight. I’ve noticed in the events of Jesus ministry we find the gospel again and again hidden in symbolic images.

    Growing up in Wisconsin we would go “up north” twice a year at least, to a town called Minocqua. And we would spend hours boating, we would travel something they called up there the “chain of lakes.” We’d take my dads boat from lake Minocqua down through these thin passages, to lake Tomahawk, and ...read more

    4 Points on learning how to deal with the "Wilderness Seasons" of our lives. 1. GOD WANTS TO DEVELOP A STEADFAST HEART WITHIN ME. 2. God leads us into seasons of growth and not gratification. 3. GOD WANTS TO DEVELOP THE COURAGE OF A WARRIOR. 4

    This sermon challenges our claim to believe. The thought process was started by a wonderful sermon submitted by David Moore entitled The Hard Gospel.

    Sermon for Mark 10:17-31 October 15th 2006 I’m one of people that can’t seem to shut their brain off in the evening. The other night my mind was churning because someone had mentioned to someone that pastor lately had been preaching a “hard” gospel. My puny little mind wandered to a time when I ...read more

    The Feast of Tabernacles, families create outdoor living space to eat their meals and rest, spending as much time as possible in this outdoor “booth”. As I look to the open sky, I am reminded to “Look up, for your redemption draws near.” But to understand the INGATHERING, this means so much more!

    After the oil falls, the running begins. Most of us expect a palace, but David found a cave.The Cave of Adullam wasn't a detour; it was a divine classroom.
