    Potholes Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on May 28, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,638 views

    We’ve all experienced potholes in the road of life that either slow us down, delay our journey or sometimes totally disrupt it. Potholes are anything in life that keep us from moving forward.

    Potholes Mark 8:27-35 Bumpy streets are so commonplace in New Orleans that residents have taken some extreme measures to draw attention to particularly bothersome potholes. There was the birthday party in New Orleans East for a 5-foot-wide pothole on Cannes Street. They had cake, balloons and a ...read more

    Roadwork Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on May 28, 2015
     | 4,889 views

    When you think of it, roadwork is a pretty good analogy of the journey of faith. God accepts us where we are but wants us to become like his Son. For most of us, that means there’s serious roadwork to do.

    Road Work Mark 8:34-38 My wife and I used to live Uptown on Octavia Street between Constance and Laurel just two blocks from Tchoupitoulas. At that time, the Port of Orleans was redoing Tchoupitoulas. When the street was dug up, they found that many of the feeder drainage pipes from the ...read more

    "fan Or Follower?" Series

    Contributed by David Henderson on Jun 1, 2015

     | 8,138 views

    There are two groups and we have to decide which one we are going to be. There are fans and there are followers. Here’s the difference. Fans only follow when you are popular. Once you make one wrong move they turn against you.

    NOBODY BUT JESUS Fan or Follower? Mark 8:31-38 Let me ask you a very deep question this morning. Serious business. Did you know that Ben & Jerry’s has a new ice cream flavor? They put cookies and actual peanut butter cookie pieces mixed into the ice cream and then they bore a hole down the ...read more

    Loose Your Life To Save It

    We are not called to a superficial Christianity. We are called to be Christ's disciples. We are called to discipleship.

    “Life is precarious, and life is precious. Don’t presume you will have it tomorrow, and don’t waste it today.” —John Piper Losers Keepers Mark 8:27-38 Peter’s Confession of Christ 27 Jesus went out, along with His disciples, to the villages of Caesarea ...read more

    Nobody can be like Christ and attract others to the community of faith without being filled with His compassion.

    Thursday of 6th Week in Course 2014 Lumen Fidei "Get behind me, you adversary! For you are not on the side of God, but of men." I suppose St. Peter, who was just plain Simon Peter at the time, was confused by what Jesus had just said to him. After all, he was supposed to be the ...read more

    Say What!?!

     | 5,384 views

    We may not understand all of what Jesus says ~ or see where He’ll take us, as we continue to walk with Him; but, the point is, do we trust Him with our life and with our heart?

    Walkin’ with Jesus: Say What!?! Scripture Text: Mark 8.31-38 INTRODUCTION Did you hear about the high school basketball team that showed exceptional sportsmanship? A couple of weeks ago, the two-teams suited-up to play. …The problem-was that one of the key-players ...read more

    If we want to enjoy inner peace that surpasses all understanding, we need to follow Jesus

    INTRODUCTION • SLIDE #1 • Last week we began to take a look at the the fact that for many of us our soul is waiting for us to make some needed adjustments to our lives. • We live in a chaotic time, the noise of the world around us makes it easy to allow God’s still small ...read more

    Who Do You Say That I Am?

    Contributed by Scott Bradford on Aug 25, 2015
     | 6,178 views

    This message (not a complete manuscript) wrestles with the question that Jesus asked His disciples but also places it in the context of where it was asked?

    The Key To Happiness And Eternal Life

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Sep 12, 2015
     | 3,776 views

    Our attitude as children of God must centre on a life that is lived in him. In return for his sacrifice we need to make good use of the opportunities Christ sends our way.

    The scene in Mark 8:27-38 is the climax of the first half of Mark’s Gospel. This first half focuses on miracles and gradually reveals Jesus as the Messiah. The second half explains the nature of that Messiahship and has far more teaching and far fewer miracles. Caesarea Philippi was located ...read more

    Introduction to "Discovering Jesus," a series exploring the life of Christ from the book of Mark.

    Introduction I hadn’t really thought about it until just recently, but for all of my adult life I have been on a quest.

    Dominant Thought: Following Jesus means being willing to accept His plans for self-denial, and not being ashamed of the Lord Whose lifestyle and mission is contrary to the world's mode of thinking

    A guy was on a business trip and thought it would be nice to come home with a little gift for his wife. He stopped off at a perfume counter in a nice store. “How about some perfume?” he asked the clerk. She showed him a bottle of really nice perfume - $120. “Oooh, that’s ...read more

    Who Do You Say Jesus Is? Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Aug 14, 2014
     | 4,959 views

    The rejection of Jesus comes (painfully) from those who represent God (teachers, elders, etc.). This presents us with a challenge: Do we lead people to like us or to worship God? If it's all about Him, then we must be willing to give everything to Him!

    Who do you say Jesus is? Mark 8:27-33 Introduction - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” - IMP: ...read more

    In order to be a true Christian, one must embrace both the Person of Jesus and the Work of Jesus on the cross and in his resurrection.

    Bi-Polar Peter (Mark 8:27-33) 1. The term “Bi-Polar” often brings to mind a condition many suffer with, previously known as being “manic-depressive.” 2. But the term Bi-Polar often refers to a set of two extremes. Two sets of bi-polar tastes make up the foundation of ...read more

    Jesus said some radical things, radical things in his day and in ours. One of those things was, "Deny Yourself."

    Back in my teenage years I did volunteer work with the Harris County Emergency Corps. I rode and drove ambulances and that kind of thing.
