     | 13,672 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
     | 4,900 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

     | 5,390 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

    Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Mar 17, 2014
     | 7,576 views

    The phrase, "Living on Mission with God" is a pretty flexible phrase, but serves as a great missions concept. This sermon focuses on believers making missions and evangelism and service to God a focus of their lives.

    the cross is not just a symbol we look to or place our faith in, it is also a way of life for those who choose to follow Jesus. The word crux is defined as, “a vital, basic or pivotal point.” It’s the moment when everything changes,

    Where One Life Ends and Another Begins Mark 8:34-38 Lent is a season of preparation and reflection on our lives of following Jesus but more than anything, it is a journey to the cross. In the time of Jesus, the word for cross in Latin was, “crux” and was the ultimate symbol of shame ...read more

    A look at Jesus as He dealt with His Disciples trying to get them to see Him for who He is and understand His purpose. As Pastors, we do the same thing each week, and get the same response from many...they don't get it and it can be frustrating.....

    Vanity

     | 4,131 views

    The soul is the hallmark of man's existence. Therefore, effort must be geared towards things that will nourish and enrich the soul. Unfortunately, what we seek today are the things that glorify the flesh to the detriment of our soul.

    "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Mark 8:36 The above passage of the scriptures makes us understand that the whole essence of man is centred on the soul. No wonder the book of Genesis told us that man became a living soul when God breathed ...read more

    The devil may not come with two horns with his front teeth jutting out to harass you; he may come in the form of a pretty girl or a well groomed boy.

For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men." Just after a great party with the Lord, would come a dirty trick from the ...read more

    Who Do You Say Jesus Is? Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Aug 14, 2014
     | 4,963 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

    God calls us to surrender four central things in our life because of who He is. We must be willing to give up our self, our security, our success, and our status in order to fully submit and follow Him. So, which are you willing to commit to Him?

    Are you nailed to the cross? Mark 8:34-8:38 - Our lives ought to be a living worship of Jesus Christ’s example -- Honestly, I am more and more convinced that we (all) are just not there yet - Jesus warned that not all that called upon Him will enter into the Kingdom -- If you are ...read more
