    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 19, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 34,505 views

    A look at Jesus' difficult (and frequently ignored) teaching that "whoever lose his life for me will find it." What does that mean? What does it look like to live that out?

    WHAT DOES "LOSE YOUR LIFE TO FIND IT" MEAN ANYWAY? It means to pursue Jesus’ path even at the expense of my desires. - Matthew 10:39; Matthew 16:25; Mark 8:35; Luke 9:24; Luke 17:33; John 12:25. - This is a foreign concept to many Christians. In the American church we largely ignore this ...read more

    What are we projecting to other people about our service to the Lord if we are complaining about it instead of having fun while we are doing it? We get hung up when people in the world try to trip us up and slow down our walk to a crawl.

    Take Up your cross Matthew 16:24-27 Years ago I remember hearing a radio broadcast of Dr. James Dobson from Focus on the Family. He was retelling a story about his son Ryan who was about three years old at the time. Little Ryan had gotten up early one morning before his Dad and Mom. He managed ...read more

    As kids we sang: "I have decided to follow Jesus. No turning back!" But is that the reality of our adult lives? Are we willing to deny and sacrifice ourselves and all we have for Christ's sake?

    [Sermon preached on 3 June 2018, 2nd Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] When I was a kid—I think I was eight years old at the time—I attended a Summer Bible Camp. I will never forget it, for many reasons. In particular, I remember how at the end of the day’s program, we always ...read more

     | 196 views

    In this chapter, the Lord Jesus will yet again confront the Pharisees and Sadducees for their religious hypocrisy and Peter will confess that Jesus is the Son of God, which is the rock upon which the church will be built.

    After feeding the 4,000 residents of the Decapolis, Jesus and His disciples traveled to the region of Magdala near the city of Caesarea Philippi. It is here where the Pharisees and Sadducees came together for the specific purpose of bringing down Jesus. Their mutual contempt for Him had woven ...read more

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 29, 2025
     | 136 views

    This is the chapter where Peter proclaims that Jesus Christ is the Promised Messiah and Son of God. This confession of faith is the catalyst that gave birth to the church, with Jesus being the Chief Cornerstone (1Peter 2:6-8).

    Jesus and His disciples entered the region of Caesarea Philippi, located 25 miles north of the Sea of Galilee. This was the territory where Philip, the brother of Herod Antipas, ruled as Tetrarch. It was here that the Lord asked the disciples, “Who do men say that I the Son of Man, am?” He was ...read more
