Facing Our Fears With Faith

Contributed by Eldridge Cullum on Mar 17, 2020

We face all kinds of fears today: a fear of cancer, a fear of losing our spouse and becoming a widow, a fear of financial insecurity, a fear of having to live in a Nursing Home, etc. Right now we are all faced with a storm that scares us to death – the storm is called Coronavirus.

Facing Our Fears with Faith John 6:16-21 “When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. When they had rowed about three or ...read more

Stormy Weather Series

Contributed by Perry Greene on Mar 23, 2020

When Jesus sent his disciples across the lake into the storm he was aware, prayed for them, went to them, and took care of them. What a picture for us in the COVID-19 Crisis!

Next in series on John. Examines Jesus' care for His followers

John 6 (3) Where is Jesus when times are tough? When I was in high school, my parents bought a boat.

The Kind Of Person God Protects Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 17, 2021

Many of the promises of God's protection or provision in the Bible are actually conditional. They absolutely don't apply to anybody and everybody. Jesus shows us in John 6 exactly what kind of people can expect His protection and provision, and what kind of people can't.

Psalm 91 has always, from very early in my Christian life, been one of my favorite Psalms, because it speaks so beautifully and certainly of the Lord’s protection. I mean, just listen to it—it’s makes for beautiful poetry as well as for comforting thoughts—“He who dwells in the shelter of the ...read more

I Want To Read My Bible. Where Do I Start?

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Nov 14, 2020

Many "mature" Christians have never read their Bible except for passages for Sunday School or other lessons. I was one of them. When I opened my Bible and began reading the Bible for myself, that is when God started revealing himself to me.

JOHN Most Bible scholars would recommend the Gospel of John as the first book a new Christian should read. -- John records the seven “I am” statements of Jesus. 1. I am the bread of life. John 6:35,48,51 2. I am the light of the world. John 8:12 3. I am the door of the sheep. John 10:7,9 4. ...read more

Why Jesus Downplayed The Miracles Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 9, 2020

Jesus does back-to-back miracles: the mass feeding and then walking on water. But He downplays both miracles. Why would He do that?

WHAT JESUS WALKING ON WATER ACCOMPLISHED: Seeing this miracle strengthened the disciples’ faith in Jesus. - John 6:16-21. - Matthew 14:28-33. - The disciples have just seen Jesus multiply the loaves. It is an incredible miracle that they got to see happen up close. - That evening, Jesus sends ...read more

I Am The Bread Of Life Series

Contributed by Paul Werling on Dec 26, 2020

Irritating God

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Feb 3, 2024

We human beings can and do sometimes irritate God. When we fail to respect God properly, the result is not a pretty picture. Our attitude toward God affects our lives significantly.

El Verdadero Significado (Aunque Quizás Oculto) De La Alimentación De Los 5000.

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jul 29, 2024

El verdadero significado de la alimentación de los 5000 rara vez se enuncia y se pone en práctica. Necesitamos aprender qué es esto y cómo podemos aplicarlo a nuestras vidas. Se necesita una mentalidad completamente nueva.

La lectura de esta mañana sobre el gran milagro de la “Alimentación de los cinco mil” es una historia que todos hemos oído muchas veces antes y que también hemos escuchado en muchos sermones. Recuerdo bien un sermón que preparé en agosto de 2011, en el que, al ...read more
