    Looking Toward Calvary Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 27, 2017
     | 6,968 views

    Often our spiritual vision is hindered by the desires of the flesh. We seek to serve the Lord, but often find a struggle with the flesh.

    Looking toward Calvary Mark 8: 31-33 At this point in Jesus’ ministry His popularity has diminished greatly, particularly among the devout Jews. He is about to enter a season of intense difficulty, culminating with the cross. From this moment forward, Jesus will be intent on enabling the ...read more

    You haven't always existed; only God is eternal in both directions. Your soul will exist long after your physical life is over, either in heaven with God or in hell separated from God.

    INTRODUCTION What is your most precious possession? This world has plenty of expensive baubles and trinkets. Here are some actual things people own that they probably consider to be a precious possession. For instance, how about a gold-plated, diamond studded iPhone? The cost is $2.97 million and ...read more

    The Resurrection of Jesus Christ not only proves the truth of His words and promises, but also has the power to transform our lives, making us new creations and giving us hope for eternal life.

    Today, we're going to talk about something super important, and I've got a cool object lesson to help us understand it better. But first, let me ask you a question: Have you ever thought about how crazy it is that we wear crosses as jewelry? I mean, the cross was a brutal way to die, but now we ...read more

    Denying ourselves and following Jesus wholeheartedly may not be easy, but it is essential for a life that honors God.

    You know how in a game of Mad Libs, you have a million choices and it's all a bit crazy? Well, life can feel like that too. But in the middle of all that, Jesus is like, Hey, forget about yourself for a minute, and follow me. Hey, forget about yourself for a minute, and follow me. Imagine you're at ...read more

Is it possible if were not denying and deathing stuff are we pretenders? • Do we as followers have pretense problem? • Are we fake disciples?

    A sermon that contrasts human concerns with the concerns of God.

    “Whoever Wants to Be My Disciple…” Mark 8:31-38 If we are honest haven’t we all at, some point, have disagreed with Jesus, asking Him why He doesn’t do what we want? Why He won’t He see the world our way? I mean think about it. I’d imagine we can all come up with scenarios without me ...read more

    The Way Of The Cross

     | 1,019 views

    In today’s Gospel reading, Peter responds to Jesus’ announcement that the Messiah will have to suffer and die by denying the cross. Peter is in essence denying the truth of this teaching – that the Messiah must suffer and by extension, his disciples.

    Last week we heard about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness right after his Baptism. That’s the way it feels sometimes – you just make a decision and then things happen that immediately bring your decision into question. This wilderness, of course, is metaphorical and now we find ourselves in ...read more

    Seven Reasons Why The Resurrection Of Christ Is So Important

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Apr 15, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,401 views

    The resurrection is not only a fundamental part of the Gospel, but it is the glue that holds every part of the Gospel together. Without it, Christians are believing in vain and are without hope.

    Opening: Unlike other religions, Christianity is based on Christ Jesus: His incarnation to be a Man, His life and teachings, His death and resurrection, His ascension to heaven, and His second coming.  Christ is the center of Christianity. No Christ, no Christians, or no Christ’s followers! ...read more

    The Cost Of The Cross

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on May 4, 2025
     | 377 views

    There is a cost involved in everything we do. It even cost us something to follow Jesus and yes, there is a cost even for The Cross

    Introduction: Counting the Cost Some things in life are easy to say but harder to live out. I remember a young firefighter in training. He was passionate, excited, and couldn’t wait to get out there and fight fires. But during a live burn drill, the flames got hotter than he expected, the smoke ...read more

    Take Up Your Cross

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 12, 2025

    Jesus wasn’t offering comfort or bling, but blood — a cross that kills self and births love, the heartbeat of true discipleship.

    Prologue — The Little Athens of Palestine They had followed Him north — away from the dust and clamor of Galilee, away from the familiar crowds pressing for healing — into a region strange and foreign. The road climbed toward the foothills of Mount Hermon, where the air cooled and new sounds ...read more

    Setting Our Minds On Divine Things

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 12, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 837 views

    Jesus taught his disciples to set their minds on divine things such as denying themselves and taking up their crosses to follow him. He added to that statements about "losing" our lives and to not be ashamed of the Gospel. What does all this mean?

    THERE ARE PASSAGES IN THE BIBLE THAT CAN CREATE FEAR AND POSSIBLY DISTRESS DUE TO THEIR BLUNT, BUT HIDDEN MEANING. IN LUKE 14:26, WE ARE TOLD THAT “IF ANYONE COMES TO ME AND DOES NOT HATE FATHER AND MOTHER, WIFE AND CHILDREN, BROTHERS AND SISTERS—YES, EVEN THEIR OWN LIFE—SUCH A PERSON CANNOT BE MY ...read more
