Jesus Christ: The Messiah, Not A Meal Ticket Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 14, 2021

When Jesus fed the five thousand, as recorded in all four gospels, He demonstrated what He taught about God being the Provider of our needs (Matthew 6:25-34). Most of the crowd, however, wanted food, not faith.

The Lord Jesus never taught anything about the nature and character of God the Father that He Himself did not demonstrate or model before either His disciples or the people who followed and listened to Him. When we first read of this miracle, mentioned in all four gospels, we see the Divine ...read more

Walking On Water

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Jul 30, 2020

God has a great story He wants us to join.

Walking on Water Matthew 14:22-33 The phrase “Walking on Water” has become a proverb. It is spoken of someone who seems to prevail against all odds. It is to do the impossible.

Giving Thanks As We Grow Olddr Sermon I: Jesus Gave Thanks Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Sep 27, 2019
