Sermons on Markos 2:4:

A New Heart For A Fresh Start

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Feb 22, 2022

Jesus’ teaching and ministry was a way of reframing the use of Scripture. The Scribes had made notes that were superimposed on Scripture. Jesus holds before us a new way of living life. One based on mercy, grace, and love. Jesus modeled the heart and intent of God.

As a child we would attempt to salvage anything and everything. The house I remember from early childhood was an interesting building. When my mother wanted to clean the floor, she would pour water on the floor, scrub it with a broom, and the water would drain through the floor. The first home ...read more

Seize The Day / Strike While The Iron Is Hot

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Oct 25, 2021

There is an adage: "Strike while the iron is hot". When the time is right, you should act. You should seize the moment or you will lose your opportunity. We are called to be a witness and to bring others to Jesus. We need to strike when God gives us an opportunity.

There is an adage ... that you may still hear at times even today: .... "Strike ... while the iron is hot". The saying is basically telling us .... that when the time is right... you should act... you should seize the moment ... or you will miss out ... on your opportunity. The adage ...read more

Be Focused On People, Not Property Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

It is important to note that the church is comprised of people. It is not a building. If we fail to remember this fact, we might make the mistake of directing our energies into preserving property instead of rescuing those who are perishing.

In Matthew 16:18, we read where Jesus said to Peter, “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” When Jesus stated that He would build His church “on this rock,” He was not referring to the location where they were standing, and He ...read more

A Faith That Can Be Seen

Contributed by Dr. Jwt Spies on May 27, 2021

When the Lord see's how bad you want your Blessing!

You see, faith is never something just to be talked about. It is something that must be demonstrated in the way we walk, in the way we talk and in the way live. Paul Harvey the radio announcer once said, “If you don’t live it, you don’t believe it.” And there’s Biblical basis for that statement. ...read more

Does My Faith Fail Me Or Does Jesus See My Faith? Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Jan 26, 2022

We can either have a faith that fails us or a faith that pleases God. We need to do some soul searching to see what type we have.

Offer Grace (Show And Tell)

Contributed by Scott Jensen on Sep 13, 2019

Central to the Christian faith is the doctrine of grace—that God gives us that which we don’t deserve. Instead of just talking about this doctrine, however, we are also called to live out this doctrine in how we treat others.

Opening and Introduction In elementary school, many kids look forward to show and tell. I have two kids, Tiffany and Tyler. Both loved to bring their favorite toys to school to show their friends. They wanted to show others what they were interested in, experience what they loved, and share ...read more

The Surety Of God's Love

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 8, 2022

With all of this unrest in our country, some people may wonder where God is in all of this. Others are tempted to question God's goodness. But just because there is human hatred and violence in our presence, this in no way negates God's goodness and love.

This probably comes as no surprise to you, but since covid-19 rearranged so many of our lives and schedules, we have changed how much time we spend looking at a screen, whether it's a tv, smartphone, laptop, or computer screen. As a country, we're spending a significant amount of time on ...read more

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 24, 2020

There were four men carrying a fifth friend, who was very sick. They couldn't get to Jesus directly, so what did they do instead?

Introduction: Jesus loved people. Many times in the Gospels we can read that He healed someone, performed a miracle, preached, taught, or in some way or another was involved with people.
