    Reward For Being Obedient

    Contributed by Rev. Felix Cornelius Agyei on Jun 10, 2023
     | 2,007 views

    God's promise of a new beginning are not in a vacuum. It does not just take God to make it possible. Abraham had a part to play. In the same way, the new life and restoration that Jesus brings demand our participation. What then is our participation? THIS IS OBEDIENCE.

    THE LORD, OUR OBJECT OF OBEDIENT The one whose voice and command we are to obey is the LORD Himself. The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the One who commanded OUR Father Abraham (Gen. 12:1). In Matthew, it is Christ Jesus Christ. We must learn to obey the Holy Spirit who now works in ...read more

    Levi - Tax Collector Turned Disciple Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jul 13, 2022
     | 2,225 views

    This sermon focuses on Jesus' calling of Levi (Matthew) and the legalistic attitudes that people often adopt about who is worthy of God's forgiveness and who is not.

    [Reading Mark 2:13-17] In today’s passage out of the book of Mark, we don’t find Jesus throwing a birthday party for a prostitute, but we do find him hanging out with some unsavory characters called tax collectors and other sinners because that is really what Jesus would do and that is what Jesus ...read more

    Preserving The Best Of Both In The Church World

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 12, 2023
     | 946 views

    When anything new comes along, we struggle to know what should be preserved and what should be discarded. This struggle may seem new, but it is an age-old problem. Jesus in this discourse helps us to preserve the best of both worlds and the danger of putting new wine in old wineskins.

    Sermon: Preserving the Best of Both in the Church World Scripture: Matt 9:10-17 “As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew (Levi) sitting in the tax collector’s booth; and He said to him, “Follow Me [as My disciple, accepting Me as your Master and Teacher and walking the same path of ...read more

    It is important that we share your faith because God controls our resources, relationships and reactions.

    WHY DO WE GO? In the Spring of 1940, Hitler’s panzer divisions were mopping up French troops and preparing for a siege of Great Britain. The Dutch had already surrendered, as had the Belgians.

    A Gracious Call To A Social Outcast Series

     | 2,868 views

    So many people today feel like they exist more than they live, thinking that everything in this world is against them and that no one cares. Matthew, the tax collector, is just such a case. It turned out that Jesus had a plan for him, and for you as well.

    Jesus' compassion for people is evident as we progress through this Gospel. This display of Divine love is recorded by Matthew and Luke as well. The Lord Jesus is not the exclusive property of any group or man- made religious system. Nobody can mold Him into one particular behavior to suit ...read more

    Let’s Not Miss The Harvest! (Part 2) Series

     | 6,925 views

    Jesus was too concerned about the souls of people to get distracted with minor, unimportant matters. If we aren’t focused on Christ, we can become self-absorbed and inwardly focused like the Pharisees, and we’ll miss the harvest.

    Let’s Not Miss The Harvest! Matthew 9 – Part 2 Introduction: 1. Did you know that religious people can be very mean and cold-hearted? People who are religious, but aren’t truly walking with God can be some of the nastiest people you’ve ever met. 2. In Jesus’ day, ...read more

    Did you know that God can use you and wants to use you? His plan is to use His children to bring in the harvest of lost souls. But how can we keep from missing that harvest?
