Roadwork Series

Contributed by Tim Smith on May 28, 2015

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

Get Behind Me, Satan

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jul 29, 2018

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

Transfiguration Sunday 2018

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 20, 2018

Many Christians in our churches follow Jesus but still have doubts. Their faith has not become crystal clear for them. There are things about Jesus that are cloudy for them like looking through a dark glass. Maybe you are one of them?

Transfiguration Sunday Seeing is Believing Mark 9:2-9 2Corinthians 4:3-6 1 Corinthians 13:12 12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

The Blind Man At Bethsaida Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 13, 2017

As Jesus ministered to the blind man, He led Him to faith in Him. Spiritually the Lord leads us to the place where we realize our need and respond to Him by faith unto salvation.

The Blind Man at Bethsaida Mark 8: 22-26 Today we find Jesus has returned to Bethsaida, a town near His home-base in Capernaum. He had been there following the feeding of the 5,000, and the stormy night when He walked on the water. During His previous visit, Jesus had healed many who were sick and ...read more

Fasting 2018

Contributed by Tony Abram on Jan 20, 2018

FASTING 2018 . Fasting does not give us power to heal the sick or cast out demons. God's Word does that. Fasting brings us in the place where we can believe God’s Word. We are drawn closer to the Lord.

FASTING 2018 (First if this way the only promise I had it would be enough) Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. 25 ...read more

Clear Eyes. Full Hearts. Can't Lose. Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 25, 2018

The New Testament records Jesus healing seven different blind men. And in each case He employed a different method. God is a God of variety. He seldom saves two people the same way.

INTRODUCTION You might recognize the title from the television series, “Friday Night Lights.” When I moved from Alabama twenty-four years ago I thought High School football was big there, but I soon learned that, like everything else, High School football is HUGE in Texas. The movie “Friday Night ...read more

Patience? Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on May 1, 2017

Sometimes God want us to wait but calls us to pray and respond to the leading of Christ!

Our Scripture of the week is Psalm 46:10a - "Be still, and know that I am God!” Why is it a good thing to pause daily and think about God?? We get so busy with our lives, with our relationships, with our jobs, with our recreation, with our entertainment, and so on and so on, we forget the reality ...read more

Disciple’s Lack Of Understanding Rebuked: Blind Man Healed Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 22, 2017

These verses in Matthew and Mark are some of Jesus’ teaching concerning false doctrine. He compared false doctrine to yeast. It appears small and insignificant, but it grows secretly and soon saturates everything.

We Must Rely On God Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Aug 10, 2014

As Jesus encounters more people one thing becomes perfectly clear: They (and we) must rely fully on Him to provide everything we need. We cannot do it alone, nor should we ever think we can. This is sinful, and where He teaches us to turn from!

We Must Rely on God Mark 8:1-26 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: What ...read more

Vision, Spit, Understanding And Empowerment!

Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Oct 25, 2013

What is it that vision brings, how are we able to clarify the situation and be empowered. Hopefully this sermon brings some understanding to this.

Healing Prayer: Do What Jesus Did

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Mar 5, 2014

In our discipleship we are called and encouraged to go and to do what Jesus did. This talk helps us to go and pray for healing as Jesus did.

If Jesus gets to pray for a person twice how many goes do we get? If it took Jesus two attempts to heal to heal a blind man how many attempts do we get? I believe that every incident and event, every parable and sermon illustration in the gospels – and today we’ve heard from ...read more

Incomplete Sight

Contributed by Scott Spencer on Feb 8, 2014

The best things in life take time. Our relationships are like that. In order to have a meaningful and lasting relationship, we must spend time building that relationship. You can't get to know someone overnight. You must invest the time.

Mark 8:22-26 22 And they came to Bethsaida. And they brought a blind man to Jesus and implored Him to touch him. 23 Taking the blind man by the hand, He brought him out of the village; and after spitting on his eyes and laying His hands on him, He asked him, “Do you see ...read more

Seeing Clearly Series

Contributed by Tim White on Mar 5, 2012

Jesus' healing of the blind man in Mark 8 illustrates four points: 1) Some people just want to come out of the darkness. 2) Our ministry can sometimes only lift the darkness. 3) The religious expectations of others can be harmful. 4) There are times when

Seeing Clearly Mark 8:22-26 Seeing is a strange thing. An infant can see a john deer tractor and not benefit from it. A farmer can see a jar of smashed carrots and not be drawn to it. A doctor can see blurry images on a glass slide and be excited about what it tells him. A preacher can see three ...read more
