    Why Jesus Came

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 18, 2014
     | 4,603 views

    Jesus came to proclaim the gospel to all the world. Let’s make sure we’re a church that continues his work as faithful disciples who continue to proclaim the gospel.

    It’s easy to get carried away when things are going well in our ministry isn’t it? We can get caught up in the excitement of ministry and think this is what it’s all about! And if we have enough success we might even be tempted to so focus on that particular area of ministry that ...read more

    It is in the very nature of a forgiving God to - well, forgive!

    HEALING THE LEPROSY OF SIN. Mark 1:40-45. 1. The leper The various skin diseases which fall under the Biblical heading of ‘leprosy’ have long stood as a metaphor for that worst of all human diseases: sin. However, this does not detract from the historicity of the incident which Mark now sets ...read more

    The Healing Touch Of Jesus Series

     | 19,455 views

    You may think you're too sick, too vile, too sinful, too far gone for Jesus to help; that you'll clean up your act first, and then come to Jesus. It’s a good thing that the leper didn’t wait until he was clean to beg Jesus for a touch.

    INTRODUCTION For the past six weeks we counted down the last 94 hours of the life of Jesus before the discovery of the empty tomb on Easter morning. In this message I’m going to resume my verse- by-verse study of the Gospel According to Mark. This series is entitled, “The reMARKable ...read more

    A Leper's Prayer

    Contributed by Bishop Malcolm Coby, Ph. D. on Aug 20, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 16,575 views

    Life often presents extreme conditions from which we pray to overcome. Some conditions are described as hopeless. How do you pray in such times? This sermon challenges us to learn from a deplorable condition known as leprosy. Hear the prayer of a leper.

    This text illustrates what I choose to call A Leper’s Prayer. Before you think that it is irrelevant, you must understand the level of intensity in prayer that comes from the heart. I can’t think of a situation more drastic, more hideous or more undesirable than that of the life of a ...read more

    What if ministry is interruptions?

    “Interruptions or Opportunities?” Mark 1:40-45 How do you react to interruptions? Think about that for a moment. Think about times you have had your plans interrupted. Perhaps you had bought plan tickets to visit someone or go on vacation and your flight is delayed. How did you ...read more

    Enough Is Enough: Too Much Ministry Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 3, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,083 views

    Because Jesus lived on earth as a man, he typically experienced human limitations. His human side needed a balance between rest and ministry (work), and he was not afraid to say no.

    Enough is Enough: Too Much Ministry (Mark 1:29-45) 1. This last week was different. Marylu and I went to visit Bruce and Joyce Moore. 2. We met them in 1984, back when I was 27. They were still in Ecuador, and we would see them every or every other year. When Hannah was young, she dubbed them ...read more

    Fished Out Of The Sea Series

    "Jesus’ authority as kingly Messiah rests not in spectacle or selling-out or cutting corners, but rests on His reliance on the Father and Jesus’ costly obedience to the Father even along the road to the cross."

    “The time has come,” Jesus said, “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” (1:15) That was Jesus’ great announcement at the beginning of his ministry in Galilee. And to the two pairs of brothers… “Come follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” ...read more

    Contending With Evil Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 13, 2019
     | 3,363 views

    Just because we are chosen by God, baptized into Christ, does not mean that we are infallibly going to attain God’s promises. We are always tempted, as Christ was, to follow the allurements of the world, flesh and devil.

    Saint Anthony of the Desert 2019 Saint Anthony–the less famous one we call “Anthony of the Desert”–died 1653 years ago today. Since he is also called “Anthony the Great” and “Anthony of Egypt” and several other honorifics, we might want to know more about him, and what he can teach us today. But ...read more

    We cannot make Jesus into the Messiah we want; we must see His vision and hear His word so that His kingdom can be built within us, and we then can attract others to Him.

    Thursday of 2nd Week in Ordinary Time Lumen Fidei Why are we so unwilling to do what Our Lord commands? The Israelites were directed by God to be His presence in a pagan world, spreading the word about His power and goodness, and ultimately drawing all to worship the One God.
