     | 1,584 views

    What sort of Church are we? What sort of church can we be, and become?

    March 29, 1992 Mark 8:27-38 [The Relationship of Faith to Faithfulness] [27] Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, "Who do people say I am?" They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, ...read more

     | 4,859 views

    This expository message from Mark 8:31-38 is about Jesus' call to discipleship - to take up our cross and follow him.

    Title: Take up Your Cross Text: Mark 8:31-38 Subject; How does Jesus define discipleship? Complement; Jesus says it means that you too take up your cross. Big idea: “True disciples don’t just wear a cross around their necks - they put it on their shoulders.” Introduction – we are moving toward ...read more

    You Have A Soul

    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 22, 2022
     | 2,409 views

    New research findings in Science and Medicine now support the Bible's statement that we have a soul, not just a body. People must know this so they can make correct decisions about where they will spend eternity.

    YOU HAVE A SOUL OPENING ILLUSTRATION Get 4 kids to front. Turn off lights. Shine flashlights thru hands. You can see the bones inside the skin. “WE HAVE SOMETHING INSIDE!” We know this also because of Xrays and ultrasounds. But today I want to talk about something else we have inside: a SOUL & ...read more

    What does it look like to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Jesus?

    [IMAGE] Philippine Passion Play - practice of literally crucifying people (voluntarily). The practice began in 1962 after a popular play about Jesus’ death. One man, Ruben Enaje, (as of 2019) had been hung on a cross 33 times. Many men and women have voluntarily submitted to temporary crucifixion ...read more

    A sermon about what it means to deny self and live for God and others.

    “Living in Reality” Mark 8:34-38 I want us to think about the following questions this morning: 1. What gives you the greatest joy in life? 2. What creates for you the deepest sense of purpose? 3. When do you feel most alive, most true to the person God created you to be? My guess is that ...read more

    The Biggest Gambler Of Them All!

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 18, 2022
     | 1,768 views

    I want to look at a topic that should be a “no-brainer” for Christians. SHOULD CHRISTIANS GAMBLE?

    Gambling has become accepted by many, and has become a widespread problem in our society. Sad to say, you can even find it among some churches. Illus: Did you hear about the man that heard a knock at the door. Opening the door he noticed a boy from his church selling raffle tickets. The boy said ...read more

    Jesus says that the Son of Man MUST suffer greatly...

    24B. Talk about anti-climactic: Peter’s inspired answer that Jesus is “The One,” (the Messiah), through whom God will accomplish all that he promised is followed by the rebuke of, “Get behind me, Satan.” e.g. A married lady went out shopping one day and when she returned home she brought with ...read more

    The Paradoxical Sayings Of Jesus: Lose Your Life To Save It Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jul 30, 2018
     | 9,836 views

    Perhaps Jesus' most challenging saying of all is that to save your lives we must be willing to lose it for His sake and the Gospels. We explore what this really means practically, and whether Jesus meant for it to be literally true.

    The Paradoxical Sayings of Jesus Lose Your Life to Save It Mark 8:31-39 We continue in our summer series on the paradoxical sayings of Jesus. Jesus said a number of things which violate common sense, and seem to be impossible with regard to all the realities we face in this world, and would not ...read more

    Peter rebukes Jesus

    A Pyrrhic Victory Mark 8:31-38 Have you ever heard the saying, “They won the battle, but they lost the war?” This is like a Pyrrhic (Pear rick) victory; which is a victory that ends up causing such a devastating toll on the victor, it ends up as a defeat, rather than a victory, due to its long ...read more

    If We Ever Needed To See God

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Feb 7, 2021
     | 4,024 views

    We face trying times. This is no time to be afraid or be ashamed. But we cannot do this in ourselves. We need to see a vision of God.

    When We Really Need to See God Mark 9:2-9 Transfiguration Sunday comes every year just before Ash Wednesday. There are only three Gospel texts which tell about the Transfiguration, so it becomes a challenge to repeat a story we have heard so many times. The accounts are quite similar. Luke adds ...read more

    What it means to take up our cross and follow Christ.

    “The God We Need” Mark 8:27-38 Peter gets the title right, but he doesn’t seem to understand what that title means. And so, when Jesus starts to talk NOT about the road to glory but instead the one that leads to the Cross, Peter rebukes Him…and then Jesus rebukes Peter right back. Which might ...read more

    The Cost Of Discipleship

    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 24, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,561 views

    Jesus tells the disciples He will have to suffer and Peter rebukes HIm. Jesus tells them that unless they deny themselves & take their cross, they'll be rejected. The power of God only flows into a crucified life. Have you surrendered all yet?

    THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP Mk. 8:31-38 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A teacher with obvious liberal tendencies told her class of small children that she was an atheist. She asked her class, “How many of you want to be atheists too?” Not knowing what atheism is, but wanting to be like their teacher, ...read more
