Disputing Over Who Jesus Is Means Disputing Over Who You Are Series

Contributed by Preacher Fo Real on Apr 9, 2015

Whether we proclaim Jesus as God, Savior, a prophet sent from heaven, or just a small time preacher from the outskirts of Jerusalem, it doesn't change what the Creator of All Life sent him to be or who Jesus, the Nazareth knew he was.

Simply, if I did you wrong and reparations were required of me since I did the wrong; would it be fair, just, or even right for you to spend your own funds to pay my reparations? More importantly, does it really matter who I think you are? If I decide to view you as something or someone other than ...read more

Who Am I

Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 15, 2015

Like Peter, we are followers of Jesus. Like Peter, we sometimes have deep faith, and, at other times, a lack of faith. Jesus saw in Peter the same thing he sees in us-building material that can be shaped into a people of faith to serve his reign.

The Gospel reading from Matthew 16:13-20 takes place in the region of Caesarea Philippi. It was a territory where pagan gods were worshipped, and it is there that Jesus asks Peter a question about his identity; not in some safe territory, but in a non-believing location. Perhaps that is why Jesus ...read more

"I Am New" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Mar 12, 2014

“I Am New” (Ephesians 4:17-24) How many of you have a hard time throwing old things, especially clothes, away? Maybe you hold on to them thinking some day I’ll lose some weight and be able to fit into that again. Or maybe its gone out of style but you know that like most things, ...read more

Who Do You Say Jesus Is? Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Aug 14, 2014

The rejection of Jesus comes (painfully) from those who represent God (teachers, elders, etc.). This presents us with a challenge: Do we lead people to like us or to worship God? If it's all about Him, then we must be willing to give everything to Him!

Who do you say Jesus is? Mark 8:27-33 Introduction - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” - IMP: ...read more

Who Do You Think You Are?

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 16, 2013

Jesus had been spending some time trying to show the religious leaders who he was. Everyone must answer the question for themselves-who is Jesus?

“WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?” John 8:48-59 1) Who did the Jews think Jesus was? • Someone who was demon-possessed (vs. 48). The Jews were responding to all the things Jesus was telling them in the previous passage. Unfortunately, instead of being humble and accepting that they weren’t what they ...read more

What Is Your True Name? What God Calls You

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Aug 25, 2024

The world attempts to label us as many different things, and even convinces us to believe those names. But how does God define us? And how do we go about believing it through and through?

Labeling Jesus Series

Contributed by David Owens on May 1, 2023

In this section, Mark sandwiched an incident with Jesus' family and an incident with the Jewish religious leaders to show the judgments people were making about Jesus. In the end, Jesus can only be one of three possibilities: Lord, liar or lunatic.

A. You’ve heard the old joke: “You can call me anything you want, just don’t call me late for dinner.” 1. Have you ever had someone call you a name that hurt you? We all have, right? 2. Some people call us names to deliberately hurt us, but others sometimes call us names in jest, and yet those ...read more
