Joining The Journey To Jerusalem Series

Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Jul 29, 2009

Excuses Series

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Oct 2, 2010

We all have excuses for not responding to Jesus' call to follow him. Life is hectic, complicated and filled with items that claim our attention. We have one reason, though, to respond to Jesus' challenge--his love and grace.

My greatest cheerleader of all over the years, my mother who while dying from Leukemia would call and ask how she could pray for me. Updated February 2020. Who I held in my arms and while I sang Jesus name above all names she took her final breath. She to is cheering me on.

Being A Disciple

What discipleship really means.

When I was in college I thought that an area of ministry that I would enjoy doing, and that perhaps God was leading me to, was to be a chaplain in the armed forces.

Tagging Along Or Truly Following Jesus

Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 1, 2008

Jesus called disciples to follow him. What did he really mean by "follow me"? Luke 9 gives us some insight.

Martin Luther once said, “A religion that gives nothing, costs nothing and suffers nothing, is worth nothing.” (from Philip Gunther’s intro.) What does Jesus mean when he says, “Follow me”? We need to ask ourselves, am I just tagging along or truly following Jesus? When Jesus says to us, ...read more

The Walk!

Contributed by Tony Abram on Oct 3, 2008

I believe that God calls all of His people to walk with Him. In this outline we lay out seven kinds of personal walk we have with Christ. If our desire is to be more like Him then we must walk and learn of Him daily. Not just in the Sunday morning service

Your faith will be tested by this world, so learn how deep it runs. How far will will you follow Jesus? What kind of follower are you?

The phone rings. I answer it only to hear something I never thought I would. Shock overtook my senses before I could even say a word.

Getting The Right Gift For Jesus Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 2, 2007

There’s power in making the decision to give the gift He really wants: to "follow Him." But in this story in Luke, 3 men tell Jesus that that is precisely what they want to do. So why isn’t Jesus content with their gift?

OPEN: About three years ago, Dave Barry made this observation about Christmas: "Your standard man, at this point in the Christmas season, has purchased zero gifts. He has not yet gotten around to purchasing an acceptable gift for his wife for last Christmas. He did give her something last ...read more
