    A sermon about calling, following, living and learning to love like Jesus.

    “Discipleship—Our Greatest Joy” Matthew 4:12-22 Recently, I read something about the elephant seal of Argentina. Soon after giving birth to her seal pup, the mother seal will leave the pup on the shore in order to go feed in the waters off the coast. After feeding, the mother seal will often ...read more

    “For Christ, did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.” (1Cor 1:17)

    Introduction: The theme for today’s sermon is “sent to preach the good news”. The good news is about the grace of God, God’s undeserved favour, as a result of the death of Christ on the cross, His burial and His resurrection. The good news is that Christ has delivered us from the kingdom of ...read more

    Disciple, follower, or both? Discerning your call to discipleship. Discipleship is becoming. Discipleship is showing up.

    Then Jesus took his disciples up the mountain and gathering them around, He taught them saying: BLESSED ARE THE POOR IN SPIRIT, FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. BLESSED ARE THE MEEK. BLESSED ARE THEY THAT MOURN. BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL. BLESSED ARE THEY WHO THIRST FOR JUSTICE. BLESSED ARE YOU ...read more

    We've All Been Caught In The Same Net

    Human tendency is to look for all the ways we are different. But the church finds its unity only in Christ.

Mary Erickson 1 Cor. 1:10-18; Matt. 4:12-23 We’ve All Been Caught in the Same Net Friends, may grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and Christ Jesus our Lord.

    Already, But Not Yet

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 23, 2022

     | 5,097 views

    What are the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God? Where are they located? Does knowing hold any significance for the believer? The kingdom was part of Jesus' message, and it should be a part of our message too.

    I have entitled our message this morning “Already, But Not Yet.” This sermon title may sound a bit strange; however, it will soon make sense. I am going to have us focus on the topic of the kingdom, and see if we can identify its location. Many of us will probably say, “Well, that’s easy! The ...read more

    32) Becomming A Fisher Of Men Series

     | 5,158 views

    Jesus called those who were Fishermen to become "Fishers of Men". This signified the spiritual focus they were to have in their lives as they followed Christ. Their true calling involved more than seeking to catch fish with a net, it involved catching men’s souls through the Gospel.

    32) BECOMMING A FISHER OF MEN Text: TEXT: Luke 5:1-11 INTRODUCTION As our weekly study continues concerning: “...those things most surely believed among us” (Lk 1:1), We have recently been exploring what the Scriptures teach about the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. And as we have seen together ...read more

    What we assume about any given situation can either help or hurt us.

    April 02, 2022 We are beginning a new series today on Discipleship entitled: Following in the Footsteps of Jesus. A Disciple is a person who becomes the student of a specific teacher – in our case Jesus: • Matthew 4:18-20 - As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, ...read more

    "I Will Make You Fishers Of Men”

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 2, 2022
     | 1,971 views

    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

    How To Win Souls…..

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022
     | 5,717 views

    The Lord Jesus is the master soul winner. This means that if you are interested in learning how to be a soul winner you need to examine the life of Christ closely.

    For example, look at Matthew 4:18-20, we read, “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. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway ...read more

    This message is an exposition of Philippians 3:7-11. Here Paul offers himself as an example of the changes that occur when a person is truly born again: (1) A Change in Values (2) A Change in Righteousness (3) A Change in Life Goals.

    We are in a study of Philippians. Our text today is found in Philippians 3:7-11. We will begin by reading that from the New International Version. “But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth ...read more

    Why We Are Here

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 10, 2021
     | 4,169 views

    I read an article recently about church planting and the author talked about all of the humanitarian things that result from doing so. It got me to thinking: is church planting what Jesus really wants if it’s going to following the humanitarian model?

    The message today is titled “Why we are here.” I’m not asking a question, as you can see, but making a statement of purpose. Now I’m not talking about why we are here at this church. Well, at least not directly. I’m talking about why those of us who call ourselves Christian, who are born again and ...read more
