    In order to follow the example of Christ’s humility, we must be willing to lay down our rights and reputation for the sake of the gospel. We must humble ourselves and serve others as a bondservant of Christ. If we say, we follow Christ; do we really live

    Opening illustration: At the 2009 Kansas high school state track championship, an unusual thing happened. The team that won the girls 3,200-meter relay was disqualified.

     | 3,484 views

    Our will and God’s will are as two separate pieces of wood; so long as both lie side by side there is no cross; but put them across one another, and then there is a cross. We must take up the cross Christ lays on us if we would be His disciples. Whenever

    Illustration: The deepest demonstration of love is to willingly sacrifice oneself for the benefit of another.

    God's Own Among God's Strays

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 13, 2008
     | 3,245 views

    For the anniversary of the Lai Baptist Church of Gaithersburg, a Burmese congregation. You came as strangers, but God has made you His own. Now we American Christians, who have strayed from what we once were, need your passion among us.

    Sometimes people of differing cultures fail to understand one another. Sometimes people with differing backgrounds cannot grasp what others are all about. So they end up hurting one another, when, really, they need one another. If you do not understand your neighbor, and if your neighbor is ...read more

    Fear: Going The Wrong Way?

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,616 views

    We have been laying a foundation about unhealthy fear. Fear can be very destructive and cause much damage to individuals. We must never accept finite hurt and fear. We must guard our heart to never accept infinite hope as the norm.

    FEAR: GOING THE WRONG WAY By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (2 parts) TEXT: Deuteronomy 4:9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 16,774 views

    Joseph forgave his jealous brothers when he had a chance to hurt the ones who hurt him. However, forgiveness is me not hurting you, for hurting me. Can you find the unforgiveness of your heart and lay it down? It is a cancer that will kill your soul.

    Extreme Love

    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,122 views

    Jesus calls us to an extreme love, to even love our enemies. He calls us to lay down our rights for revenge, and shows us that God has already given us that kind of love, while we were God's enemy.

    Luke 6:27-36 Extreme Love [Please contact me at kerry.n.haynes@gmail.com for sermon outline in Word.] Today’s passage is a tough one; that’s why I chose it, so I could better understand it myself. Is Jesus saying we are to give in to bullies? Is he taking away our right to self-defense? Is the ...read more

    Seeking Jesus Among The Dead

    Contributed by Naveen Balakrishnan on Jul 5, 2022
     | 1,573 views

    Mary is despondent when she goes to the tomb the second time not knowing where the body of Jesus lay and she is confronted by the angels and then by Jesus. Her sorrow turns into joy and then she is given a command to go and share the good news of Jesus' resurrection from the dead.

    “SEEKING JESUS AMONG THE DEAD?” JOHN 20:11-18 1. The DISTRESS of Mary Magdalene.

    Gethsemane Series

    Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Sep 1, 2023
     | 1,276 views

    The cross wasn’t a tragic mistake. It didn’t “happen” to Jesus. He wasn’t a victim of circumstance. Jesus died because He deliberately chose to lay down His life – and he made that choice at Gethsemane. The war was not over, but the battle was won at Gethsemane.

    September 02, 2023 Today we are going to conclude the Gospels section of our series with Gethsemane. The Passover meal was over. Judas had left the group to make arrangements for the betrayal of Jesus. Now as the little party made their way to the Mount of Olives, Jesus made a startling ...read more

    Jesus: How To Be A Follower In Times Of Despair Series

    based on 79 ratings
     | 6,282 views

    Fourth in the series "Meet the Cast." As you study Jesus’ life you realize that even though He did not lay aside his deity, He did humble himself as a man, to serve all humanity. So Jesus understands what we are facing in our lives.

    I love the way “The Passion of The Christ” movie begins, with the reminder that 400 years before Jesus was born his sacrifice was foretold in a vivid way. Isaiah 53:5 (LB) But he was wounded and bruised for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace; he was lashed--and we were healed! ...read more

     | 5,209 views

    The Gospel of Christ is the most important news that mankind can come to know. Paul lays out the gospel for us in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. Let us examine this passage so that we too may know the "Good New" of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    The Gospel of Christ 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you – unless you believed in vain.

     | 5,264 views

    Jesus had no sin or impure motives that gave Satan legal access to His life. Satan could find nothing in Jesus - not even one square inch of territory - to which he could lay claim and thus gain access to Jesus’ heart. This is the reason why there was pro

    Opening illustration: You might not see the literal ‘Red Sea’ miracle in today’s context but will surely see one parallel to it. The issue is, as the Israelites waited before the ‘Red Sea,’ they didn’t contemplate or pursue to build a bridge across it. They waited on God for His Salvation. ...read more

    How can we respond to difficult circumstances with acceptance and abandonment? Mary’s response to the angel in Luke 1: 38 shows us. The only way to have that same attitude is to believe that God’s will is “good and acceptable and perfect”, and to lay down

    Opening illustration: At age 16, Madame Jeanne Guyon (1648-1717) was forced into an arranged marriage with an invalid 22 years older. She found her marriage to be one of utter humiliation.
