    A Declaration And A Rebuke Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 31, 2021
     | 2,955 views

    Jesus has been active for over two years, and His disciples have been there to witness His teaching and miracles. He asks them a question that we all need to answer: "Who do men say that I am?". Your answer determines your eternal destiny.

    So far in reading about the life and ministry of the Lord Jesus, we see that He has been active for two years or more, preaching the Word, teaching the people, performing miracles of healing, deliverance from demons, feeding crowds, stilling storms, and showing His mastery over the elements by ...read more

     | 592 views

    Each of us must answer one important question in this life. WHO IS JESUS? And the answer is not just head knowledge, it must also be heart changing. All mankind either accepts or rejects GOD's Plan of Salvation through JESUS CHRIST.

    The Call Of Jesus Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Jun 16, 2025
     | 113 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
     | 129 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. The geographical setting of today’s gospel story is Caesarea Philippi. This town is located in the North East ...read more

    Give Your Life Away Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 5, 2022
     | 1,825 views

    There are at least four core commitments for Christian living: (1) abide in the Word, (2) pray your heart out, (3) be killing sin, and (4) give your life away.

    Our lives tell a story—a story about who we are and what we value, where we’ve come from and where we’re going, what we want and what we’ll do to get it. And what most of us do is, we make “the story” of our lives about us. But God makes “the story” of our lives about Christ. Someone has said, ...read more

    Lost And Found

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 29, 2023
     | 1,160 views

    Not everybody who is lost wants to be found, and when God finds us, we often rebel - at first - against being brought home.

    Who Is Jesus To You?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Mar 11, 2025
     | 242 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

    Called Out: The Role Of The Church

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 14, 2022
     | 1,926 views

    Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, and no one else (Matthew 16:13-19). We have strayed from what the Scriptures teach about the church's purpose and responsibilities and instead allowed the world's opinions take precedence over what we are to be and do.

    When we hear the word "church", most of us think of a building or membership in a particular denomination with standards, beliefs, and guidelines for worship, order, the reading and use of Scripture, and sermons. The problem is that far too many people now view the church as a symbol ...read more

    Tagging Along Or Truly Following Jesus

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 1, 2008
    based on 9 ratings
     | 6,817 views

    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

LUKE: 9:18-20 Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “who do the crowds say I am?” They replied, “some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.” “But what ...read more

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

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 1, 2025
     | 12 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

     | 8,417 views

    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
