    Listen To The Lord!

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,904 views

    Are you a good listener? Not listening many times means you’re going to miss something important. How about listening to the Lord? Are you a good listener? Samuel is a good example for us to follow when it comes to listening to the Lord. How does the Lord speak to us? Why should we listen?

    Are you a good listener? Maybe instead of asking you, I should ask your spouse, or your children, or your parents. Are you a good listener? There are certainly some people that are better listeners than others and you’ve probably experienced that in your life. A person who is a sympathetic ear, ...read more

    Loving The Lord

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019
     | 5,549 views

    Are you a good Samaritan? We might try to help other people, but is that really what Jesus was trying to teach when he told the story about the good Samaritan? Look to what leads up to this parable and see how Jesus' story is so much more than just a lesson teaching us to help other people.

    “Help other people.” When did you learn that lesson? That is one of the very basic lessons that we normally learn at a very early age. Someone drops something, you pick it up. Someone falls down on the playground, you help them up. If there is someone who is need, you share what you have been ...read more

    Committed To Christ

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019
     | 5,481 views

    You're trying to make the right decisions and live out your Christian life, but the more you try, the more difficult life seems to get. Our Christians lives are not always so glorious. Why do we continue? Where do find the glory of a life committed to following Christ?

    Have you ever had one of those weeks where things seem to go wrong? You’re trying to do the right thing, make the right decisions, but it just doesn’t work out the way you thought it would. You set aside time for a family dinner, only to have it turn into sibling arguments, someone stomping away ...read more

    Peace & Persecution

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019
     | 3,057 views

    Are you comfortable in being a follower of Christ? Countless Christians around the world face intense persecution for being followers of Jesus, but they're not alone. We share in the struggles of being a Christian. Why is that? Listen to Jesus' call to deny yourself and follow him.

    Each year, a Christian organization called “Open Doors” publishes a list of the top 50 countries where Christians are most intensely persecuted for their faith. Physical violence, death threats, execution, imprisonment, rape, neglect, burning of homes, bombing of churches, abandoned by family, ...read more

    Ministry Is Not Meant To Be A One-Man Show

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,088 views

    Do you need help? We rarely like to think that we do. How did Moses respond when someone said that he looked like he needed some help. Moses’ example is a great reminder of the help that God provides for us in those whom God has placed around us in our church to carry out the ministry together.

    “Do you need some help?” When someone asks you that question, what is your natural reaction? I think that our natural response might be a bit defensive, “No. I’ve got it. I’m fine” whether we really are or not. Why is that? There is a little part of us that doesn’t want to admit that we need ...read more

    "you Don't Have To Go To Church To Be A Christian" Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 7, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,499 views

    This common reason for not coming to church shows two fundamental misunderstandings: 1) what is a Christian and 2) what is church. Help someone see that being a Christian means being part of a church.

    People are not going to church as much as they used to. I could give you the statistics, but I don’t think that I need to because you’ve probably personally observed or experienced it yourself. You may have seen it with your own family members, your co-workers, your friends, in the conversations ...read more

    "i Don't Get Anything Out Of Church." Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 7, 2019
     | 6,847 views

    People come to church with certain expectations. But are those the expectations that God wants us to come with, or are they are our own expectations? See how God's promises far exceed our expectations for church.

    “I don’t get anything out of it.” You’ve probably heard it as a reason for someone no longer going to church and maybe you’ve actually had the thought yourself. You walked out of church and thought, “I just don’t feel like I got anything out of it.” People come to church with certain ...read more

     | 9,176 views

    Is church really worth our time? Our time is inherently valuable so we want to make sure that we are spending our time on things that have value. Is church one of them?

    The 9-5, Monday-Friday, 40 hour per week, weekends off work week seems to be a thing of the past for many people. Various start times and shifts throughout the day and night, rotating schedules and “on call” demands have certainly redefined what a “normal” work week looks like. You combine that ...read more

    "the Church Is A Bunch Of Hypocrites." Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 7, 2019
     | 6,388 views

    People's experience with those in the church is often their first experience with Christianity. What are we to say when that experience was less than positive? How are we going to respond?

    “I don’t mind Jesus, it’s his followers I can’t stand.” “You wouldn’t believe the way that I was treated when I went to that church.” “I’ve seen the way that Christians act when they’re not at church.” “The church is a bunch of hypocrites.” What’s your first reaction when you hear comments ...read more

    "all The Church Cares About Is Money." Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 7, 2019
     | 5,392 views

    Money is powerful! The amount of money we have allows or prevents us from having or doing certain things. Jesus understand the power of money as a prime competitor for our hearts. The church echoes Jesus' warning as we see what he was willing to pay for our eternity.

    We learn very early on in life that when you walk into a store and you see something that you would like to buy, what is one of the first things that you look at? You look at the price tag. You want to know how much money that thing is going to cost you and if you have enough money then to buy ...read more

    Take A Walk With Jesus Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Jun 4, 2019
     | 10,205 views

    What an afternoon! Walking with Jesus! They were ready to give up and walk away, but as they walked with Jesus he led them to understand how good it was to walk WITH Jesus. How about you?

    “Walking is good for you.” My doctor regularly reminds me of that during my routine physicals when we talk about exercise. “Walking is good for you.” My wife regularly reminds of that as she asks if I have time to take a walk with her. Both my doctor and my wife are right. Walking is good for ...read more

    What Would You Do? Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Jun 4, 2019
     | 4,897 views

    What would you do if Jesus suddenly appeared standing there in the flesh in front of you? What did Jesus' disciples do? What did they think Jesus might do? Jesus appears to bring peace like only he can.

    If Jesus were to suddenly, without warning, appear in church this morning, what would you do? What would you say? We would probably begin with a bit of skepticism. “Is this really Jesus, THE Jesus that we’ve heard so much about?” You might wonder if your eyes were deceiving you, if this was ...read more

     | 6,547 views

    I just can't believe it! Ever said that? That was a common response by those to whom Jesus appeared after his resurrection and it's still a rather common response by many today. Don't be surprised! Be ready!

    “I can’t believe it!” Something extraordinary, something unusual, something unexpected happens and we exclaim, “I can’t believe it!” “I can’t believe its snowing…again!” “I can’t believe they actually won the game!” “I can’t believe I passed the test.” “I can’t believe I got the job!” “I ...read more

    Have you ever had the feeling that someone was about to deliver some bad news? What must have the disciples thought when Jesus showed up to eat breakfast with them? They again saw the heart of their Good Shepherd.

    Do you ever have the feeling that someone is about to deliver some bad news to you? Your teenager comes and tells you how great of a parent you are, and you can’t help but wonder, “What did you do? What do you need? How much is this going to cost me?” Your boss calls you into the office, begins ...read more

    The End Of The Story? Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Jun 4, 2019
     | 5,786 views

    Why did Jesus appear to his disciples after his resurrection? It was so much more than just to prove he was alive. It was to prepare his disciples for the time when they would need to let him go. Are you ready to let go?

    It’s the first day of school. You watch as children are being dropped off by their parents. You look over at the kindergarten classroom and find parents with children clutched to their legs. More than a few tears are being shed by both children and parents. You hear a parent saying to their ...read more
