    Getting (And Giving) The Message

    Contributed by Craig Condon on May 12, 2015
     | 3,522 views

    Boys and girls, Jesus calls on all of us to deliver the same message. Some of us might take it to people in a land far away, and others might take it to a neighbour or friend. The important thing to remember though is to carry the message.

    Good morning boys and girls! Let’s play a game that most of you probably know. I’m going to give the first person in the pew a message and then I’ll ask him/her to pass it on. The last person in the line then has to tell the congregation what the message was. Are you ready? Cover ...read more

    A world changer is known not for what he gives up, but for what he takes up. Will you take up the challenge to be a world changer OR who just changes his clothes every day to look good?

    Opening illustration: John, do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water, or do you want a chance to change the world?” That was the challenge Steve Jobs issued in 1983 to John Sculley, then president of Pepsi-Cola. Mr. Jobs was the creative genius behind Apple Computer. ...read more

    Three things needed to follow Jesus

    “Follow Me!” August 18, 2013 Mark 1:16-18 “As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” At ...read more

    Fishing For Men

    Contributed by Scott Spencer on Aug 19, 2013
     | 7,144 views

    What does it mean to follow Jesus? What does it mean to hear "the Master's call?" "Many are called but few are chosen," the Bible says. In order to understand that statement, we may say that many are called but few really respond to that call.

    Mark 1:16-20 "And as He was going along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, 'Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.' And they immediately left the nets and followed Him. ...read more

    Let’s Go Fishing Series

    The best fishermen often have expensive rods and reels and lures. But these are only tools. If those tools don’t help them catch fish, they’re worthless. What tools do we use to "catch" souls for Jesus and how does Jesus turn us into "fishers of men"?

    A couple of guys named Ed and Fred had gone fishing for the very first time in their lives. They went out and bought themselves a couple of rods and reels, went down to the lake and rented a boat at the boat rental place and rowed out to a likely place and let down their anchor. They’d read ...read more

    God Calling- Answer The Phone

     | 10,821 views

    God calls us in many ways and we need to listen for His voice.

    Listen...to your life... and you'll hear the BAT QOL- the voice of God. You will hear our Lord's voice, comforting, challenging, and calling you to lose yourself in the Master's service. Indeed, unless we "leave our nets" and follow Him, it's hard to see how we can call ourselves Christian. ...read more

    Pastor Jonathan expounds on Mark 1:16-18, citing three ways to know you are a true Christ-follower: 1) a calling, 2) the guiding hand of God, and 3) a change of heart.

    This week is back to school. It is the worst time of the year. After an incredible summer when you can sleep till 2 o’clock apparently (Jessica tells me), you can do whatever you want and the kids are enjoying themselves, then all of a sudden you’re jolted back into reality and ...read more

    In part 2 of a message on Mark 1:16-18 Pastor Jonathan talks about the mission statement of Thomas Road Baptist Church, specifically the fourth value: connection with community.

    Lord, today we thank you that you are all we need. We thank you that in the midst of our brokenness and heartache, in the midst of the challenges we all face, we stand here humbled by your grace and your love and your mercy. We don’t deserve it, God, but you give it, and you give it freely ...read more

    James and John were mending nets. What kinds of nets do we need to mend? I can think of three: a. Our relationship with God, b. our relationship between us and other people, and c. To repair the relationships between others and God.

    "Jesus is YHWH himself, bringing people back from spiritual exile, the returning King himself, bringing the long-awaited circumcision of the heart by the Holy Spirit."

    Last week we stood on the edge of the Promised Land, and we were given the choice, by YHWH, between life and death. However, the simple option of choosing life, of choosing YHWH, or loving Him fully and others equally, we discovered, is only possible through radical heart surgery – circumcised ...read more

    Jesus confronted the complex. His message was and is simple. Let’s get back to the basics He taught us! Why make it difficult?

    Disciples? I. Introduction Some things are complex and complicated. Rubix Cubes. Algebra. Or maybe better said . . . math. Why people in horror movies go into barns, cellars.

    It was just a day at the beach but it was also the beginning of Christianity, when Jesus went from being simply a teacher to the leader and founder of a movement.

    A Day at the Beach: the Beginning This time of year it’s easy for our minds to drift to warmer climes and the beach. If you close your eyes you can almost envision the turquoise water, the white sand and a palm tree that you can lean back on. I love being close to the water. Maybe ...read more
