    Heading Home From Jerusalem Series

    Contributed by Roberta Karchner on Apr 19, 2024
     | 803 views

    The concept (Bright Sunday) is that Jesus was having fun showing up for the disciples, here as they headed home, he walked with them, and they recognized him in the breaking of the bread.

    Today is Bright Sunday. Easter is a Holy Day, a day when everyone comes to church. Today is the day when the Christian believers come back to celebrate, because we are now in Easter Tide – the time between the Resurrection and when Jesus Ascended into heaven. After the Ascension, we have ...read more

    Easter For Us: A Unity Not Of Our Making

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 555 views

    Our Lord chose as disciples’ men who were radically different in temperament, personality and political philosophy. It was because of their glaring differences that their unity was so evident.

    Opening illustration: I know, there are so many great verses from John’s remarkable story: “In the beginning was the Word….”, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,” “For God so loved the world…,” “In my house are many mansions…,” and more. Why, then, do I love this verse? Simply because in ...read more

    Jesus encourages His disciples to pray. We have a right to ask great things of God, knowing that He will do what glorifies His Name.

    “[Jesus] told [the disciples] a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. He said, ‘In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, “Give me justice against my ...read more

    Jesus' love and resurrection prove His authority and power, and we are called to let His love reign in our lives as we become His disciples.

    As disciples, we are called to serve others with love, following the example set by Jesus. This service begins in our families, extends to our communities, and impacts the world.

    Today, we're going to talk about serving others. You know, like helping out at home, at school, or in our community. But we're not just talking about any kind of serving. We're talking about serving like Jesus did. Let's start with a story. Imagine you're at a fancy dinner party. Everyone's dressed ...read more

    Why did Jesus instruct his disciples to gather the remaining fragments after everyone was full? The scripture does not reveal what Jesus did with these leftovers.

    Today, I want to talk to you about the significance of leftovers. As Americans, we are blessed with an abundance of food and resources. However, this has led to a culture of wastefulness. We often prepare more than we need and end up throwing away leftovers. But in the story of Jesus feeding the ...read more

    This sermon explores navigating unexpected events, understanding God's newness, and growing in redemption, using the disciples' journey to Emmaus as a metaphor for our spiritual journey. Key

    Good morning, family of God. It's a joy to be with you today, gathered in the presence of our Lord, ready to encounter His word afresh. We all have our own stories, our own experiences, our own heartaches and triumphs. Each of us carries a unique narrative, woven together by the hand of God. Yet, ...read more

    The sermon will explore the story of Jesus appearing to two disciples after his resurrection, emphasizing that his teachings and blessings are for all believers, not just the chosen few.

    Hello Church! Today we’re going to look at a story from the Gospel of Luke which took place the same day as Jesus’ resurrection. In fact, the resurrected Christ appears to two disciples walking towards a town called Emmaus. We’re going to discover that our God is a cruciform God, which means the ...read more

    The Road Less Traveled Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Aug 9, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,044 views

    In order to follow Jesus, we must take the same road that He took. In Mark 8:27-38, we see who Jesus is and what it means to follow Him on the ``Road Less Traveled``. In this we see: 1) The Disciple's Confession (Mark 8:27-33) and 2) The Disciple's Lifestyle (Mark 8:34-38)

    Mark 8:27-33 [27] And Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that I am?" [28] And they told him, "John the Baptist; and others say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets." [29] And he ...read more

     | 37,696 views

    The Bible tells us very little about what Deacons were and what they did. And when these men do their jobs correctly they can become the most important leaders in the Church. What should a deacon do? And how does he become so important to God?

    OPEN: Back in 1964 Leicester Hemingway (the little brother of author Ernest Hemingway) made a decision.

     | 10,113 views

    Play God Day is "celebrated" on January 9th and encourages people to do something nice for others. That's good. But "playing God" also has a negative side. What's wrong with "playing God" and how do I recognize if I'm falling into that trap?

    This is the 2nd in our series of “holidays” in January you probably haven’t heard of. This one is called the “Play God Day” and its “observed” on January 9th each year. According to www.cute_calendar.com: “The day encourages you to do something ...read more

    If Jesus could give His disciples peace when He left the world behind, He can give us peace as we wait for His return.

    Dec. 12, 1999 John 14:1-6, 25-31 How can I have peace for the future? INTRODUCTION A man was walking on the beach one day, and he noticed something shiny sticking up out of the sand.

    Don’t crtitize Peter too much. At least he did get out of the boat. But what about the 11 other disciples who stayed on the boat?

    Matthew 14:22-31 Topic: At least Peter did get out of the boat… When we think about Peter walking on water with Jesus, we usually think what could have happen if Peter did not take his eyes off of Jesus. As long Peter kept his eyes on Jesus, he was able to walk on water. But when he began to ...read more

    Compare your life with the life of a man who met Jesus up while on his way to punish Jesus’ disciples. What did the cross mean to him?

    Let’s think for a moment about a man who was moving up the ladder of success in his field, having been taught in the finest schools, awarded most likely to succeed among his peers, powerful and on fire with a bright future before him. But suddenly he threw it all away. He gave up marriage, ...read more
