A Follower Or A Fan?

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Aug 25, 2018

A good Fan just shows up for the weekly event. Good Fans do that you know! And they will stay a Fan as long as it benefits them. A Follower of Jesus will follow. They will follow him even when there is a crisis, even when they do not fully understand.

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Aug 26, 2018

Difficult teaching from Jesus to his disciples is much easier for us today, now that we understand the Eucharist and that the Holy Spirit is working us from within, if we only knew.

Absolute Devotion

In Remembrance Of Me

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 8, 2020

Each month we take communion to remember Jesus and His great sacrifice. Other's believe that in the Eucharist we actually consume the flesh and blood of Jesus. What does the Scriptures say? What happens communion is unavailable to a believer?

In Remembrance of Me Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … Jude 1:24-25 “To Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy – “To the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, ...read more

Feeding On Christ

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 13, 2019

What does it mean to feed on Christ? Why doesn't everyone respond positively to the gospel?

Today’s passage is challenging. The passage is difficult in two ways; first, it is difficult to understand, as it requires unpacking a figure of speech, a metaphor. What does it mean, really, to “eat the flesh” and “drink the blood” of Christ? So it’s difficult to understand. And perhaps more ...read more

Life In The Son

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

In Acts 3:15, the Bible calls Jesus the “author of life.” It is of utmost importance that we realize that the origin of abundant life is Jesus Christ; and that His abundant life is everlasting, both now and in the age to come eternal.

In Acts 3:15 Jesus Christ is called “the Prince of life.” Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10b). John 1:4 tells us, “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” 2 Peter 1:3 declares of Jesus that “His divine power has ...read more

Jesus Offers A Better Bread (John 6:51-59) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2022

What exactly happens, when we celebrate the Eucharist? And what exactly are we eating?

Today, we continue working our way through John 6. Let's start by simply rereading, starting from verse 22. This verse picks up after Jesus fed 5,000 people the bread and the fish, and after Jesus walked on the water. (22) On the next day, the crowd-- the one standing on the other side of ...read more

Will You Stay Or Will You Go Now? (John 6:60-71) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 31, 2022

Chapter 6 has moved from huge crowds trying to make Jesus king, down to only 12. It's all falling apart, maybe. The question is, will you join the Judeans, and walk away from Jesus, or abide with Christ?

This week, we will make our final push to get through John 6. We were supposed to read this entire chapter at once, as a single story. But instead, it took me four weeks. Let's start this morning, one last time, at John 6:22. This picks up our story after Jesus fed the 5,000 people, and ...read more

How We Love His Salvation Series

Contributed by John Dobbs on Feb 11, 2022

Jesus tops the manna miracle with the feeding of the 5,000 and then tops that - John 6:35 “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.”

How I Love His Salvation John 6:35-59 Introduction One of the most familiar stories of the Old Testament is the provision of manna in the wilderness. God gives the food that was needed for survival for over 40 years. Amazing, but there were some problems with manna. -Physical Only: Fed body, ...read more

The Broken Bread.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 13, 2021

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. John 6 verse 53.

THE BROKEN BREAD. John 6:51-58. Everlasting life is not a thing that is earned: it is a free gift of God. All that is required is that we put our trust wholly and entirely in Jesus (John 6:28-29). Jesus says quite categorically that whoever believes in Him has everlasting life (John 6:47), and ...read more

A Failure To Understand.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 13, 2021

But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. Hebrews 10 verse 39.

A FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND John 6:56-69 Like Nicodemus who struggled with the concept of being born again (John 3:4; John 3:9), the Jews in the Capernaum synagogue (John 6:59) struggled to understand what Jesus was talking about (John 6:41; John 6:52).

Learning From The Passover (Exodus 12:1-28) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 12, 2022

The Passover is not "our" festival. But there are things about it, that we should learn and carry over to how we "observe" the Lord's supper.

This morning, we find ourselves in Exodus 12. Here, Pharaoh is about to finally, forever be popped like a tick. Every Egyptian firstborn, from human to cow, will be killed. After this, Yahweh will give his people freedom, and lead them toward the promised land. Now, Yahweh knows that we ...read more

Nowhere Else To Go Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jul 30, 2018

Just like Peter learned, there really isn't anywhere else to go and no one else to go to, other than Jesus.

A. As you are well aware, we live in a day that can be described as an age of pluralism. 1. Pluralism has many meanings, but one meaning has to do with there being many different options from which we can choose. 2. Just like there are many channel choices in cable television (200 or 300 or more ...read more

La Santa Misa: Remedio Para Curar Adicciones

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 1, 2018

Es como el Papa Francisco lo dijo: la Eucaristía "no es un premio para los perfectos sino un generoso remedio y un alimento para los débiles.”

20B Quiero continuar con un artículo que leí de una universidad en Santa Bárbara sobre la Santa Misa y sus implicaciones de curación para la persona adicta. Existe una especie de subcultura de la adicción que tiene sus propios rituales; una red social informal con patrones de percepción, ...read more
