    When we think we know what following Jesus means, we need to look again. Leaning on our own understanding is not trusting in the Lord with all our heart.

    Luke 9 John McArthur, in his book, The Gospel According to Jesus, tells about a time when he was with a minister driving through a particular city. As they passed a liquor store John happened to mention that it was an unusual-looking place. “Yes,” he said. “There is a whole chain of those ...read more

    If you ask, “Is there a purpose for me?” then I might ask you, “Is your heart beating?” See, if your heart is still beating, then God has a purpose for you.

    Are We Following Jesus Or Not?

    Jesus was on the road to the cross with all that came with it - rejection and suffering. His call to follow him is absolute and he calls us to 100% commitment. This short sermon challenges us to follow him in everything we do, all of the time.

    Luke 9: 57-62 Have you ever been quoted out of context? Have you ever been misunderstood? Jesus was often misunderstood, and when we hear these shocking words from the life of Jesus we are reminded that following him requires us to always follow, and not to dip in and out of following him. If I ...read more

    An in depth look at the meaning of Jesus’ statement that no one who puts their hand to plwo and looks back is worthy of heaven.

    In our series on answering your questions, I recieved this one recently in my email: "Pastor, How do we put forth our hands to the plow for the kingdom, stirring up the gift of God within us for his Glory? Ron" This is a good question and is in two parts. So I will answer it in two parts tonight ...read more

    This message is the fifth in a series that deals with some of the difficult sayings of Jesus. This message looks at Jesus' warning in regard to looking back.

    At first glance Jesus sounds very harsh as He addresses someone that sincerely wanted to follow Him. What’s wrong with wanting to tell His family goodbye? In 1978 the Little River Band wrote a song that describes a great tendency that many of us have. Listen to these few lines from this song. ...read more

    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. I spent time talking with a pastor who had been a chaplain. I read some material about being a chaplain. Eventually, I actually ...read more

    "Tell Somebody"

    The purpose of this sermon is to motivate the hearers to “tell somebody” that there is a price tag to consider before committing oneself to following Jesus Christ. Because it could mean becoming a geographical nomad.

    U.S. Army Chaplain (MAJ) Ken Harris, Jr. West Fort Hood Chapel Second Sunday of June Killeen, TX 27 June 2010 Big Idea: For some believers to follow Jesus means more than just believing in Him. It also means becoming a geographical nomad. Scriptural References: EAI (Expository; ...read more

    How do we respond when asked to follow Christ. Do we shoot out a quick "Yeah but.." ?

    Luke 9:51-62 51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. 52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. ...read more

    This message was inspired (outline borrowed) from another pastor. The call of Christ is more pressing and demanding than the average believer considers it to be.

    Following Christ Luke 9:57-62 * In his book "None of These Diseases”, S. I. McMillen, tells a story of a young woman who wanted to go to college, but her heart sank when she read the question on the application blank that asked, "Are you a leader?"

    Today I would like us to do two things: (1) to try and understand some of Jesus’ difficult sayings about discipleship; and (2) to share a couple of introductory reflections on discipleship.

    By Rev Bill Stewart As Chris mentioned last Sunday, today we are officially beginning a series of sermons on the theme of "discipleship". Although discipleship seems to have already been the theme for at least two weeks now. Two weeks ago we saw how Jesus called people to be disciples and then ...read more
