    Jesus never had a residence here in his ministry. The foxes have holes, the birds nests, but the Son of Man hath not where to lay his head. Even today he is looking for a place to abide... will you provide him a dwelling?

He told Jesus he would follow him wherever he would go. Jesus explained to this man ...read more

    Discipleship involves serious commitment; boasts and excuses won’t get the job done.

    BOASTS AND EXCUSES INTRODUCTION 1.

    3rd in series "Miracles in Matthew." Looks at whay we doubt the Lord in crises and why we don’t need to doubt.

    Introduction: 1. A storm at sea. There is nothing else that so vividly potrays a picture of helplessness. A tiny boat on the open water tossed by the waves, defenseless. 2. It makes a perfect metaphor for the difficulties that we all face in life--situations beyond our control, unpredictable, ...read more

    ARE YOU TRAVELING WITH JESUS? - Matthew 8:18-27 Can you imagine being with Jesus that day? Can you imagine what it must have been like seeing Jesus heal all of those people?

    Who's In Control Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,544 views

    We as humans have a hard time giving up control of anything, but in order to find the abundant life Jesus offers, we must cede authority of our lives to Him, even if that means going into choppy waters.

    We began last time by looking at Jesus as He came down from giving the Sermon on the Mount. He begins to demonstrate that it isn’t all talk—that He really is the coming King and controls His creation, both the visible and invisible. We see Him first approached by two people who really have no ...read more

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 3, 2010
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,227 views

    It's interesting to me that Jesus called His disciples to leave the crowd and His disciples and they experience some spiritual warfare as they cross to the other side of the lake. Why would Jesus miss this opportunity, when He had a crowd gathered?

    Part 10 - Matthew 8:18-34 - WHEN JESUS SKIPS OUT ON CHURCH, YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG! I remember as a young student Pastor being invited to a Church for afternoon tea. They said they wanted to pray for me. What I didn't realise is that they wanted to pray for me to be their Pastor. At the end ...read more

    A man comes and wants to follow Jesus, and Jesus gives Him an obscure answer about birds nests and foxes dens and about having no place to sleep! What is He saying? IF I AM TO BE A DISCIPLE (A CHRIST FOLLOWER) I CAN NEVER OWN MY OWN HOME?

    Part 11 - Matthew 8:19-20 - DOES THAT MEAN I CAN’T OWN MY OWN HOME, LORD? Here we go again! Jesus doing something totally unexpected!

    So how does our loving saviour and Lord get away with saying "Forget about burying your father. Just follow Me now!" How unsympathetic! How insensitive! Give the man a break. Let him bury his own father! What is going on here?

    Part 12 - Matthew 8:18-22 - HOW CAN JESUS BE SO CALLOUS? My Dad died of cancer in a nursing home. He was in a partial coma when I visited him before that day came.
