    The Challenge Of Following Jesus

    Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on Jul 15, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,999 views

    Following Jesus is not easy, it's not impossible, but it is a challenge. Taking Jesus with you in your boat gives you the Master of the Sea and Storm

    * The life’s lessons which can be found from this one text are enormous. We could spend a month’s worth of message on this one passage and, quite likely, never repeat ourselves. The messages could be “Jesus calming your storm”, “Is Jesus in your boat?” ...read more

    Follow-Up!

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Sep 10, 2013
     | 4,118 views

    Some people need to be followed-up ad infinitum in order to win them for Christ!

    Follow-up! “Let's go back and visit each city where we previously preached the word of the Lord, to see how the new believers are doing'” (Acts 15:36). I remember back while working for a bank, I attended an irate customer call that was meant for my boss, the customer spewed exotic ...read more

    Not A Fan But A Follower

    Contributed by Curtis E. Nester on May 26, 2016
     | 7,244 views

    Jesus has many casual fans, but He asked us to take up our cross and be a follower. It costs something to be a true disciple.

    TITLE: Not a Fan but a Follower TEXT: Mark 8:27-38 INTRO: A soldier was frantically digging in during battle as shells fell all around him. Suddenly his hand felt something made of metal and he grabbed it. It was a silver cross. Another shell exploded and he buried his head in his arms. Just then, ...read more

    To Live Is Christ

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Sep 18, 2011
     | 5,747 views

    How do we balance our own pursuit of meaning and happiness with the call to live as Kingdom people? What role does suffering have in the Christian life and why in the world are we called not only to believe in Jesus but to suffer for him? A little bait an

    This dates me, I know, but I can sometimes relate to Charlie Brown in the Peanuts cartoons. Like the one where Lucy is philosophizing and Charlie is listening. As usual, Lucy has the floor, delivering one of her lectures. She says, "Charlie Brown, life is a lot like a deck chair. Some place it so ...read more

    One of the clearest statements contained within Scripture, regarding the purpose and goal of Christian faith, is this passage: “Imitate God… in everything you do. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ.”

    WAC2BL: Christlike Scripture Text: Ephesians 5.1-2, NLT INTRODUCTION When we listen to a passage - like Ephesians 5 - …we should imagine ourselves sitting in someone’s living-room ~ …or sitting on the back-porch of a friend’s house ~ …and listening to our ...read more

    Christ prepares His disciples for his death and resurection in concert with the story of Lazurus.

    The sermon today is from John 11, the first 45 verses. If you really want, I will read it, but I think it best if I paraphrase it a little. Jesus is with his disciples a couple of weeks, maybe a month before Passover when he gets word from his friends Mary and Martha that their brother Lazurus ...read more

    "Follow Him"

    Contributed by Ronnie Knight on Nov 10, 2006
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,480 views

    We have made discipleship into what we endeavor to become for Christ rather than what Christ endeavors to make us for Himself. This sermon should challenge each hearer to follow Jesus and let Him make them into what He wants them to be.

    We live in a world of the “self-made” and the “self-proclaimed”. We ring this mind set into our Christianity. We make discipleship into what we endeavor to become for Christ rather than what Christ endeavors to make us for Himself. In our efforts to believe, belong and become we spend for to much ...read more

    Our knowledge of Christ must be put into action.

    INFORMATION, KNOWLEDGE AND ACTION The key impression behind the information technology is that by making information accessible knowledge will be acquired and thereby facilitates human behavior and actions. The fastness of information sharing is to save time, energy and to avoid waste. The ...read more

    Jesus still has the “Follow Me” invitation on the table. We need to Dive in to this spiritual world and follow the Master Diver as He shows us things we have never seen before. The choice is ours to make. So if we choose to follow Him make sure you are following Him for the right reason.

    Follow The King

     | 313 views

    When Christ is the cornerstone of the church and its foundation is the word of God in action, the church will grow and will weather the greatest storms.

    As we spoke about the word “fear” last week, it doesn’t connote running from God because of dread but running to God, clinging to Him, loving, and serving Him. The fear or reverence of the Lord is our response to His love, His majesty, holiness, as well as His wrath. This kind of fear is not ...read more
