    A call to authentic discipleship inspired by Kyle Idelman's smallgroup study, Not A Fan, this three-point expository sermon identifies three marks of genuine Christ-followers: denial, dedication, and direction.

    Fan or Follower? Scott Bayles, inspired by Kyle Idleman Blooming Grove Christian Church: 8/10/2014 How many of you know what the letters DTR stand for?

    The word of faith/prosperity gospel is an abominable heresy that makes you a little god who can decree and declare the heavens open and do whatever you want. It totally disregards the sovereignty and lordship of God.

    STAYING IN MY LANE Various Scriptures A few weeks ago, I read a post by Albert Mohler. Dr. Mohler is President of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. On his updates, he posted an article entitled ‘Staying in his Lane—Joel Osteen’s Gospel of Affirmation without salvation. ...read more

    Self denial, self sacrifice, following wherever Jesus leads. The danger of ruining our eternal souls. Christ alone can save us.

    TAKE UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW JESUS. Luke 9:18-26. Peter was in no doubt that Jesus is the anointed one of God. What he did not understand was that his Master is not like any earthly Lord. He is not the type of King who was expected by the crowds. Jesus did not come into the world to deliver ...read more

    Selfless Obedience (Mother's Day) Series

    Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Jun 11, 2013
     | 14,394 views

    Selflessness is the key characteristic in Jesus' command to take up our crosses and follow him. The stories of Jochebed, Hannah, and Mary (Jesus' mother) illustrate selflessness.

    One of the critical characteristics of a follower of Jesus is almost completely non-existent in our society. Now I say “almost”, because there are still times when we see and celebrate it, but those times are largely times of extremes. The prevailing “wisdom” is completely ...read more

    Being a disciple of Christ requires a conscious, committed effort. We will never be effective disciples with a casual, unconcerned approach. It is a lifestyle we are called to commit ourselves unto.

    The Commitment to Discipleship Luke 9: 23-26 Let me begin by asking, how many Christians do you know? That is a difficult question isn’t it? Now it seems that everyone you talk to concerning the Lord has had some type of experience. Well, yes I’m a Christian; I was baptized and joined ...read more
