    The Way Of Jesus #1: I Have Begun Following Jesus...

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Jan 8, 2017
     | 6,501 views

    The Way of Jesus is an initiative of my denomination, Evangelical Missionary Church of Canada. As prep, we're doing a 7-part series. The first message is on the first marker of the Way of Jesus: I have begun to follow Jesus, depending on the God's Spirit.

    The Way of Jesus #1 - “I have begun following Jesus, and am depending on the Spirit of Jesus in my journey”. - January 8, 2017 It's the new year, still, but I don't want to talk about New Year's resolutions. I don't want to talk about the effort involved in adjusting our lifestyle, changing bad ...read more

    One Is The Loveliest Number

    Contributed by David Roth on Mar 2, 2015
    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,326 views

    Proper 18 (a) By nature we focus on ourselves, trying to be the greatest, to be Number One. But that leads to separation and loneliness. Christ has redeemed us, that we may be united with the Father and with each other. Therefore we live in love.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “One is the loveliest number” Our gospel reading today is in three parts. It opens with the disciples asking Jesus, yet again, who will be ...read more

    Born Again To See And Conquer!

    Contributed by Victor Ramlall on Mar 7, 2015
     | 5,034 views

    It's not the wise and sophisticated intellectuals admired and looked up to in the world, who are foremost in the kingdom. We need to be born again as a little child into the Kingdom of God, relying on Him always!

    At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the ...read more

    The Greatest

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 12, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,866 views

    The analogy of the child being the greatest in God’s Kingdom was completely contrary to the prevailing culture then and now. Imagine how His disciples must have reacted to Jesus then and how indifferent it is even today.

    Opening illustration: If God was taking resumes, what would you put on yours? In other words, what makes a good Christian? What would really impress them when you arrive in heaven? Experience, qualifications, references, character traits … The reason I asked is because followers of Jesus ...read more

    Disciples Contend For Greatness

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 28, 2015
     | 5,455 views

    I wonder, is there a bit of worldly ambition present in these men that He had called to be His disciples? I believe they may have been doing a bit of bragging among themselves, and now they come to Jesus to see who He thinks is the greatest disciple.

    Jesus’ admonition to become like a child blends with Proverbs solemn command to get wisdom. Refuse to become bland and careful; to be closed to new truth; to be cynical.
