    My Magnificent Obsession

    Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Mar 17, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 30,514 views

    The Christian life is more than a casual admiration of a good man called Jesus (If it is anything it is A MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION with the most wonderful, incomparable, person who ever lived, and still lives in us through his precious Holy Spirit.

    Matthew 4: 18 - 20 18 ¶ And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, ...read more

    True Disciple

    Contributed by John Ong on Jun 17, 2015
     | 3,806 views

    It is vital that we first heed the words of our Savior and count the cost of discipleship before we truly desire to be His followers.

    Citing Luke 14:26, the disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ should put his Master above those closest and beloved to him. “If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, … he cannot be my disciple. It is vital that we ...read more

    Your Mission, Should You Choose To Accept It…

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 1, 2015
     | 9,939 views

    Our mission, should we choose to accept it, is to proclaim the good news of the kingdom to our world today. That does not mean that we have to seek an active role in ministry. We are all given gifts from God to use in our mission.

    Today, we are celebrating two special occasions in the life of our Diocese-Mission Sunday, and Anglican Church Women Sunday. Rev. Judy is celebrating Missions Sunday with another church in our Diocese this morning, as she has been asked to explain to that congregation what her role as a ...read more

    Dispelling The Darkness

    What we’re trying to do is push back the darkness.

    So, Matthew says that, “when Jesus heard that John [the Baptist] had been arrested, he withdrew….” What does that tell us? It tells us – doesn’t it? – that there is a force of darkness at work in this world. And we know what that means, of course. It means there ...read more

    Are We Fishing For Souls Or Have We Become Keepers Of Aquariums?

     | 2,220 views

    Today’s sermon is about Jesus calling four fishermen to follow him. We can find this story also in Mark 1:16-20.

    Jesus advised Peter and Andrew to leave their fishing business and become “fishers of men.” That means they were to help other people to find God. Jesus was calling them from their useful business to be spiritually useful. How many of us have heard the call and answered? We as a whole need to be ...read more

    For The Sake Of The Call

    Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. So, when Jesus extends a call, what does it look like? What does it entail? What might He ask us to do? Or, what might we have to let go of in order to serve Him?

    I have entitled our message this morning, “For the Sake of the Call,” and we are going to look at how Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. Allow me to get started with a joke: “Why did Jesus call so many fishermen to become apostles? He was always looking for a ‘net ...read more

    Being Available For God To Use

    The call of God requires preparation, accountability, anointing, etc. In this teaching, Dr. Vorce offers insight concerning things a person may experience when called by God. He further prepares us by addressing topics such as loneliness, the cost, flexibility, and Spiritual Fathering.

    Matthew 10:37-38 37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

    "I Will Make You Fishers Of Men”

    There are some things in the Bible that people sometimes feel they can be justified in saying, “I do not understand what that passage means.”

    In those cases, we feel that God is not going to hold them responsible. However, some passages even the new convert can understand and obey. We know God does hold us responsible, and we will give account for those things we do understand. For example, the Bible clearly teaches that every ...read more

    Fishing For Men

    Look at what they did when they were called. Did they ask permission from anyone to go and why did they go?

    Jesus had told Peter and Andrew to quit their fishing business and become “fishers of men,” to help other people discover God. Jesus was calling them from their earthly trade to a spiritual trade. How many of us have heard the call and answered? If we all were to do what Christ taught and spread ...read more

    As part of our calling to discipleship we seek to become like Jesus in every way.

    Matthew 4:18-22 When we read the Great Commission in Matthew 28 it can become easy for the church – followers of Jesus – to take it in with a “been there, done that” kind of attitude. After all, we’ve heard those words repeatedly, many of us for our entire lives. But this morning ask yourself a ...read more
