    We don’t live on the mountaintop - we live in the valley of the ordinary presence of Jesus

    On the Mountain TCF Sermon September 19, 2010 If you have your Bibles, open with me to Luke chapter 9, beginning with vs 18: Luke 9:18-36 (NIV) Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say I am?"

     | 12,013 views

    "But what about you...who do you say I am?" Peter gave the correct answer to that question from Jesus to his disiciples. Our life and our eternal destiny are dependent on our answer to that same question.

    Why would Jesus use an instrument of death to represent His kingdom and His power? And how do I "carry" my cross daily?

    If we believe Jesus is the Christ, we will follow where He leads.

    So Near And Yet So Far

    We will never be as close to Christ as we could be or think we are if we are oblivious to today’s issues or build monuments to past achievements.

    We can be close to something, and yet miss it. We can be almost on target, almost where we want to .be, and yet, if we’re not exactly where we ought to be, we miss it. So near and yet so far. A couple of years ago, when my wife and I were touring England, we were in Victoria Station, one of the ...read more

    A true follower of Jesus will have no trouble taking up the Cross.

    Text: Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me” (Luke 9:23).

    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

    Who Is Jesus To You?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Mar 11, 2025
     | 505 views

    What does Jesus mean to you? This is a question that so many church folks cannot answer. When evangelizing you really need to be able to answer the question.

    Who is Jesus to you? Luke 9:18 – 27 Rabbi Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 18 And it happened that while He was praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Who do the people say that I am?” They answered and said, “John the Baptist, and others say Elijah; but others, ...read more

     | 627 views

    While Jesus announces for the first time to his disciples his call to the cross, He calls us to confess who he is and calls us to live a crucified life.

    I would guess that we are probably similar in that we get so many unwanted calls each day. Somehow, I’ve been getting calls for some group who says they can get me on Social Security Disability. Other times I’ve been on the list for VA loans - except I’m not a veteran. I’ve received calls for ...read more

    Who Is Jesus To You

    Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Jun 21, 2025
     | 550 views

    Millions around the world know of Jesus but only a fraction of those actually know him. The mission of every Church should be to know Jesus and make him known. On a personal level, who is Jesus to you?

    Todays gospel reading in Luke is the same story also found in Matthew ch.16. The Matthew account has much more detail and so I will use that so we can better understand the story.

    Why Does Jesus Tell His Disciples Not To Tell People That He Is The Christ Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 1, 2025
     | 585 views

    This passage provides an interesting insight into why Jesus told His disciples not to tell anyone He was the Christ.

    KEEP QUIET: Proclaiming that Jesus was the Christ would create a lot of wrong expectations. - Luke 9:18-21. - It’s an odd thing to hear Jesus telling His disciples to not tell people that He is the Christ. You would generally think that He would want it proclaimed often and loudly from every ...read more
