    based on 3 ratings
     | 976 views

    The sermon discusses the cost of following Christ, emphasizing that it can lead to division in earthly relationships, and encourages strength and faithfulness in the face of such challenges.

    The Uncomfortable Christ

    Contributed by Jessie Manuel on Aug 11, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,741 views

    What kind of fire is Jesus talking about? Is this the fire of judgment? The fire of hell? The fire of destruction? I don't believe so. This is the fire of purification, the fire of truth, the fire that burns away what is false so that what is true can shine forth.

    OPENING Good morning, church family. I want to begin today with a story that might help us understand something profound about the nature of Christ's ministry. Last summer, I had the opportunity to speak with a forest ranger in Colorado. As we drove through a section of the national forest, I ...read more

    The theme for today’s sermon is “knowing the times”. The first words of the Bible are “In the beginning (time) God created the heavens (space) and the earth” (matter). The relationship between time, energy, space and matter is a fundamental concept in physics to give us an understanding of the ...read more

    What Do You Do When The Lord Makes You Uncomfortable?

    Contributed by Jessie Manuel on Aug 14, 2025
     | 709 views

    Jesus is going to show us in Luke 12:49-56 that this divine discomfort is not a bug in the system of faith—it's a feature. It's not something to avoid—it's something to embrace.

    There's a question that every serious believer must eventually face: What do you do when the Lord makes you uncomfortable? I'm not talking about the discomfort of difficult circumstances or trials that come from living in a fallen world. I'm talking about that deep, internal stirring ...read more

    Following Christ can bring division in relationships, but it is important to remain faithful and trust in Jesus' honesty and guidance.

    Bring in a rope and have two volunteers come up. Have them hold the rope, one on each end, and explain that the rope represents our relationships. When we follow Jesus, sometimes it can cause tension and division in our relationships, like when we pull the rope tight. But Jesus is with us through ...read more

    Jesus obviously had not read Dale Carnegie's book "How to make friends and influence people" He hated hypocrisy and called it as it was even if it meant offending the Jewish religious hierarchy

    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,972 views

    False prophets are not just an Old Testament problem. We have them in full force today, in all denominations, telling us that God is “doing a new thing,” misinterpreting Isaiah 43:19 to justify sin.

    Other Scriptures used: Jeremiah 23:23-29 Psalm 82 Hebrews 12:1-14 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14) False prophets are not just an ...read more
