    Learning how to respond to betrayal by modeling after Jesus’ response to Judas and his betrayal.

WHAT MAKES THIS ONE BETRAYAL SO FAMOUS? WAS IT BECAUSE OF WHOM HE BETRAYED? NO! JUDAS MADE HISTORY BECAUSE OF WHO HE ...read more

    This sermon will help those to understand that your sin is not greater or smaller than your brother’s sin.

    sIntroduction Preachers, like the congregation, are not immune to sin like most unbelievers would think. Anyone in the Christian faith should know that a Preacher can be overtaken in a fault or sin just like most, if not, all church members does in some point in their spiritual life. Most church ...read more

    Who Is In The Spotlight? Series

    based on 49 ratings
     | 9,298 views

    Are you striving to capture the attention of the world or to even make God take notice of you through your righteous achievements? The glory of man does not endure–it pales in comparison to the glory of Christ.

    In Greek literature, Virgil wrote about the plight of humanity and how something new needed to be done to help man out of his predicament. In Greek thought, God was removed, a mere spectator, like someone observing a play in an amphitheater or a stadium– –sometimes intervening in a helpful way ...read more

    based on 60 ratings
     | 7,614 views

    Jesus had to deal with disappointing disciples. So do we. How do we deal with them? By applying the new Law of Love.

    John 13 begins with the wonderful statement: ’Having loved his own who were in the world, [Jesus] now showed them the full extent of his love.’ It’s a picture of an intimate relationship with his disciples, like that of a loving parent who will do anything for their children. Yet even as he’s ...read more

    This homily is to demonstrate that by His actions on Holy Thursday at the Last Supper, he shows the intimate connection of personal service and love in the community to divine worship at the Euchrist.

    HOLY THURSDAY “DO THIS TO COMMEMORATE ME” 1. "Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end" (Jn 13:1).

    A Christ Followers involvement in the world is to be salt and light. What happens to a culture when the light is dimmed and the salt looses its saltiness?

    Authentic Christian love John 13:31-36 Beginning: The church is moment by moment becoming more and more like the world around it. Instead of changing the world we are being changed by the world. We have bought in to a deformed love that has a defective and inauthentic DNA. We have weakened our ...read more

    For those that might feel that the Lord’s Supper is only a symbol, you are welcome to discover the connection of footwashing, (a physical act) to that of the Lord’s Supper (a physical gift). This is a Maundy Thursday Message.

    Hi, thank you for looking at this sermon. I hope it helps. Please do not say the sermon did not help you just because you did not like the style or could not use the entire message for your own needs. I have discovered a few souls automatically hit the ’did not help me’ button if the message they ...read more

    A sermon used before communion. Like the disciples at the Last Supper, we can talk the talk about the Christian life. But Jesus wants to know who will walk the walk with him.

    Can you walk the walk? Purpose: To challenge those who call themselves Christians to obey God’s commands. 1. You’ve heard the phrase, "You can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk." · NCAA Basketball Tournament (this sermon was preached during the tournament): I can talk a pretty good game. ...read more

    The love to which Jesus summons us is not the giving UP of one’s life, but the giving AWAY of one’s life.

    Glorifying God – John 13: 31-38 Intro: Glorify – to exalt and honor, to praise extravagantly, honor, extol. --- May Dad once said to me, “I have given you a name of honor, see that you pass it on in the same condition as you received it.” I never really appreciated that thought until I had sons ...read more
