    How can we find the faith to follow Jesus?

    Finding the Faith to Follow Jesus Matthew 8:18-34 Sermon by Rick Crandall McClendon Baptist Church - July 15, 2007 *How long has it been since you lost something? I lose stuff all the time. I can’t find my glasses or I can’t find a note I needed. Sometimes I even lose stuff on my computer. Last ...read more

    Who's In Control Series

     | 6,286 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

    We have been given authority over Satan, but we have to choose to use it.

    Part 10 - Matthew 8:18-34 - When Jesus Skips Out On Church, You Know Someth Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 3, 2010
    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,949 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

    Jesus knew what He was doing! He always does. He had just finished giving peace to his discipes troubled by an angry demonic storm. And He would not be thwarted in giving peace to some troubled men who were in the grip of demonic influence.

    Part 13 - Matthew 8:23-34 - DOES JESUS SLEEP IN YOUR STORMS TOO? "I got into the boat with the other disciples and we started across the lake. Some Pharisees seemed annoyed and the crowd was disappointed that we were going, but I saw Jonas, a man who had been healed of leprosy placating the crowd ...read more

    Part 14 - Matthew 8:28-34 - An Unhealthy Fascination With Evil Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 6, 2010
    based on 14 ratings
     | 8,914 views

    Today, our culture seems fascinated with death and vampires and witches and ghosts and horoscopes and clairvoyants and numerous other dark pathways to evil. It is disturbing because people feel they can control it. These kinds of choices have consequences

    Part 14 - Matthew 8:23-34 - AN UNHEALTHY FASCINATION WITH EVIL He writhed on the floor while men and women gathered around him hurling their prayers. That’s the best way I can describe it. "Come out in Jesus name!" they said, and he writhed all the more as if in pain, and certainly in turmoil. The ...read more

    Part 15 - Matthew 8:28-34 - An Unhealthy Desire For Power Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 7, 2010
    based on 29 ratings
     | 9,067 views

    THE DESIRE FOR POWER IS OFTEN THE DOORWAY FOR THE DEMONIC. These men couldn't be bound by chains but they were certainly bound by Satan. They were almost completely under the control Satan, enslaved to him.

    Part 15 - Matthew 8:28-34 - AN UNHEALTHY DESIRE FOR POWER My daughter and son-in-law once lived in Parramatta in Sydney, quite near an old cemetery. It had historic significance for Sydney and was protected, I think, by the national trust. It angered me when it was vandalised. A part of our ...read more

    Satan tells us this is just the way it is, we have to accept what he has for us. But Jesus has another option.

    Passage: Matthew 8:28-34 Intro: Inertia is the tendency of an object in motion to remain in motion, or an object at rest to stay at rest, unless acted upon by a force. 1. some objects are easy, like this one: PP Forrest Gump’s feather 2. others are a little tougher (Dave comes ...read more

    Authority And The Fear Of God

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 24, 2010

     | 5,546 views

    Matthew 8 demonstrates Jesus’ authority in miracles and ministry. Jesus’ words and works show us the depth and extent of His authority. Our call is to walk under that suthority as we hear and heed his instruction.

    Matthew 7 ends with the amazement of the crowds who heard Jesus teachings. They observed that Jesus spoke with authority and not as their teachers of the law or scribes. We noticed several passages last week about the fear of the Lord and its importance to our lives as Christians. Without the ...read more
