    Jesus calls on us to deny our selves and take up our crosses and follow Him - just as He went to the cross. This sermon delves into that idea of denying the "self" a little more.

    March 12, 2006 Mark 8:31-38 31 He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again. 32 He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and ...read more

    You Can Make A Difference Series

    Contributed by Carl Greene on Jan 29, 2008
     | 4,530 views

    We all want to leave the world a little better place for having lived here. But if that is true, then we must have a plan. Do we? Jesus suggests a plan "Follow me."

    Have you ever wondered why you come to church every Sunday, at least most Sundays? And why is it that for each one of you faithful attendees, there are 10 or more non-attendees? I pray you understand I am glad you are here and of much more importance, God is pleased and that you come as often as ...read more

    Jesus calls his disciples onto a hill where he commissions them to go into the world.

    Matthew records the final appearance of Jesus on a mountain. We don’t know which mountain it is but we know that he had invited his disciples to meet him there. Maybe it was the Mount of Transfiguration where Jesus had met Moses and Elijah and received assurance from his Heavenly Father; or ...read more

    God And Children

    Contributed by William Mouser on Sep 24, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,163 views

    In contrast to the ambition to acquire the applause and approval of men, Jesus turns his disciples toward the powerless -- toward children -- as exemplars of Himself, His Father, and the ones his disciples should seek to serve.

    Psalm 54, Wisdom 1:16 - 2:22, James 3:16-4:6, Mark 9:30-37 Apostles, Christians, and Children Sometimes, the disciples of Jesus don’t come off very well in the gospels, and today’s Gospel lesson is one of those times. Jesus tells them again, as he is doing more and more often at this point in ...read more

    The Missionary Mandate To Love One Another!

    God used Peter to write these words to a church under pressure, persecuted by the local community. Whatever our circumstances, Jesus has issued us with a missionary mandate to love one another deeply ...

    This piece of scripture was written by the apostle Peter to a church which was under pressure. Opposition from the local community was high. Violence and persecution towards the church was quite normal. It is a long way from my experience, but the call of God for the church to be Good News is as ...read more

    Jesus says we must all choose between God and our stuff. Increasing our hoard or serving our Lord; getting more space or getting more grace. The choice is ours.

    In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen.

    Having A Pit Bull Mentality

    Contributed by Ronnie Mcneill on Sep 25, 2007
    based on 11 ratings
     | 14,847 views

    This sermon shows how we should have the determination of a Pit Bull to do God’s will and constantly seeking and encouraging those to find Christ who do not have a relationship with Jesus the Christ.

    Introduction: When I think of pit bulls my mind automatically goes to that dog that has a mind set of not letting go. Once it gets a hold of you it will not let go. It is determined no matter what to hold on to its victim until its victim is dead. A pit bull’s jaws are designed to lock together ...read more

    Some people consider Jesus one of many options. But He challenged people either follow him or not. When it comes to relationships, dating, marriage, and decisions in life, God cannot be an option.

    ONE TRUE LOVE Is there such thing as one true love…I think there is! A boy came home from Sunday school and His Mother said, "What did you discuss at Church?" The boy said, "Marriage"! His Mother then asked, "What did you learn about marriage?" The little boy thought for a moment and said, ...read more

    How Much Land Does A Man Need?

    Contributed by Sherry Proskine on Oct 3, 2007
    based on 31 ratings
     | 5,740 views

    Jesus isn’t asking to give up all that we have, just that one thing that stands between us and following Him. We can choose today to walk a fresh walk of freedom.

    HOW MUCH LAND DOES A MAN NEED? Mark 10:17-22 Opening Illustration: Leo Tolstoy once wrote a story about a successful peasant farmer who was not satisfied with his lot. He wanted more of everything. One day he received a fantastic offer. For 1000 rubles, he could buy all the land he could walk ...read more

    The Magi's Guide To Following A Star

    Contributed by Chris Tiller on Nov 19, 2005
    based on 92 ratings
     | 19,470 views

    God just might give you a star to capture your attention and to guide you. And if you follow that star, everything just might change. An intimate encounter with Jesus has a way of doing that to people.

    I love the story of the magi. There was a time when the magi lived far away from Jesus. They were given a special star to capture their attention and to guide them. They followed the star, and it changed everything. An intimate encounter with Jesus has a way of doing that to people. I love the ...read more

    Everyone has a divine vocation, Jesus said -“Many are called but few are chosen.” Those who are rejected are so not because they do not have a call from God but because they refuse to accept it. The goal of my sermon today is to help you understand and

    Our God is a covenant-God, not a contract-God, and the covenant that He had made with us is based on His character and is embodied in an unconditional commitment. It is on the basis of His covenant with us, through the blood of Jesus Christ, that we as a

    Introduction: Making Vows Our passage, Psalm 132, is the longest of the Psalms of Ascent.

    Success in Christ is not measured by numbers of people or popularity. We can find success in Jesus by being focused on Him and who He calls us to. (Power Point available)(Preached at The King’s Seminary)

    YOU ARE A SUCCESS! Intr.: Sometimes I feel like a failure. My family cannot remember my sermon the next day. 1. People are losing jobs. Banks are closing. Where do we find success today? 2.
