    Transformation And Multiplication Series

     | 2,790 views

    The ultimate result of Jesus Driven Discipleship is Transformation and Multiplication

    April 09, 2022 A disciple is more than one who acquires information from someone who is smarter or more knowledgeable than they. There is the idea of relationship/community/intimacy. A disciple “adheres to” - holds fast to, clings to, bonds to, is attached to, is faithful to - the teacher. ...read more

    Religion Vs. Relationship

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Feb 9, 2022

     | 5,222 views

    This message contrasts religion and relationship, showing that religion is not to be desired. However, a relationship with Jesus is to be highly treasured. Why? Religion brings about death, but relationship brings about life.

    Whenever you hear of the word “religion,” what comes to mind? Perhaps attending a church service, someone worshipping a Buddha statue, a baptismal service, someone reciting a chant or prayer, someone fasting, people praying to the east every hour, someone making an animal sacrifice, or someone ...read more

    Living In The Kingdom 10 Series

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jan 20, 2022
     | 1,556 views

    In Part 10 of this series we examine what Jesus said about making an oath. In this message we see that as a Christian our word should be our bond - it should be proof enough of our intention or past actions. We should never have to make an oath to ensure someone believes what we are saying.

    Living in the Kingdom 10 Scripture: Matthew 5:33-37; 23:16-18; Leviticus 19:12; Exodus 20:7 As I have been studying, meditating and preparing these messages based on Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, I have been reflecting on conversations that I have had with people about the Bible and its ...read more

    If we are, in the words of one of the saints, going to be a "spectacle of saints," what better time to be alive than now, when the Church is encircled by enemies from both the left and the right.

    Monday of 21st week in Course This is a great time to be alive and to be a Christian. Now it’s not a very convenient time to be a Christian. In fact, with threats of terror coming from every part of the world, it’s not even a very convenient time to be alive. But greatness does not very often ...read more

    Hypocrisy Series

    Contributed by Jeffery Anselmi on Aug 5, 2022
     | 3,377 views

    If Christians really love Jesus, why is there so much hurt in the church? Jesus confronted the hypocrisy of religious people and desires that his disciples walk in love.

    INTRODUCTION • In our new series, Hot Topics, we will dig into six tough topics that people inside and outside the church often think about (even if we don't ask about them out loud!): • If Christians love Jesus, why is there so much hypocrisy in the church? • How can we trust the Bible? ...read more

    Which Shepherd Are You Choosing? (Pt. 2) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 19, 2022
     | 1,875 views

    This exposition of Zechariah 11:7-17 examines Zechariah's prediction of Christ's rejection at his First Advent and the consequences of that rejection. The timeless truth taught is: when the leadership God sends is rejected, the judgment that follows is bad leadership.

    Intro We concluded last week with God instructing Zechariah to take on the role of a shepherd. Follow with me as we read Zechariah 11:4. “This is what the Lord my God says: ‘Shepherd the flock marked for slaughter.”i That is the assignment God gives Zechariah. He is to represent the Lord as a good ...read more

    What Jesus’ Grief Over Jerusalem Reveals Series

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 30, 2023
     | 1,340 views

    The reasons for grief are many, such as the loss of a loved one, the loss of health, or the letting go of a long-held dream. Dealing with a significant loss can be one of the most difficult times in a person's life. Jesus sees God’s dream for Jerusalem slipping away.

    Sermon: What Jesus’ Grief over Jerusalem Reveals Matthew 23:37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God’s messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn’t let me. 38 And now, look, ...read more

     | 147 views

    As James closes his letter to exiles, he concludes with instructions on three different topics - communication (oaths), prayer, and care. This sermon looks at the first of those in the context of a covenant community.

    In the run up to the 1988 Presidential Election, Vice President George H.W. Bush famously said “Read my lips: no new taxes.” He was running on a platform of consistency.

    Jesus came to speak—listen to Him. Jesus came to suffer—trust Him. Jesus came to save—tell the world. And Jesus came to rule--bow before Him for that’s what true success is all about.

    Several years ago, the Tokyo Times carried a report about a 19-year-old man who was desperate to get to Tokyo’s Haneda Airport. So he hopped a bus and demanded that the driver take him there. He was hijacking the bus, but few of the passengers were concerned. For one thing, the hijacker wasn’t ...read more

    An exposition on Matthew 23:1-25. Christianity is not about making converts to dogma but making converts to love.
