    Taking a military analogy off of the word "Captain," this sermon discusses the courage and bravery that Jesus displayed and the respect we should accord Him

    Big Idea: Jesus earned the right to be called our Captain by his courage under fire. - Hebrews 2:10. - Jesus is called the “captain of our salvation” in this verse and I want this morning to pursue the military analogy that that puts forward. - “Captain” is the Greek word “archegos” which means ...read more

    Jesus is the priceless shepherd because of our needs, and we can go to Him because of His passion for us.

    Key verse, 11. 1. His Diety: "I am", the old testament name for God. 2. His Desirability: "Good", (Kalos) beautiful, good, virtuous, valuable. 3. His Dedication: "Shepherd", (Not an easy life. Difficult, lonely, and painful suffering). I. The Danger: He gives His life for His sheep. (11-13) * A ...read more

    All ten of the lepers were cured, but only one was healed.

    Have you ever had to “suit up” to visit someone in the hospital? Sometimes in order to protect both the patient and the visitors, extensive preventative measures are taken. On some occasions I’ve had to put on a mask, gloves, head covering, booties and a protective gown. I felt like I was ...read more

    Will not God grant justice to his chosen ones who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long in helping them? I tell you, he will quickly grant justice to them. -Luke 18:7,8 (NRSV)

    Relentless for Justice Read Luke 18:1-8 Luke 18:1-8 (NRSV) Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart. He said, "In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor had respect for people. In that city there was a widow who kept coming to him ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 3,324 views

    Should a person ever cause trouble in the church? Yes! This sermon tells you when. It is my desire to preach the Bible during the entire sermon. Please note all points and sub-points are tied to the scripture. This sermon is expository in style.

    WHEN TO CAUSE TROUBLE IN THE CHURCH Galatians 2:1-10 (NASB) 1 Then after an interval of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also. {2} And it was because of a revelation that I went up; and I submitted to them the gospel which I preach among the ...read more

    The subject of our Christian hope is Jesus Christ and He has proven it through his life, death and resurrection that our hope in Him will definitely be accomplished.

    Who Wants To Play Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Terry Jones on May 10, 2008
     | 3,059 views

    Surviving today requires that believers develop a godly mentality, a strategic plan and an understanding of the spiritual tools given to us by the Holy Spirit. Survival requires dedication to press in to God and in following His lead. Survivor’s ready?

    Who Wants to Play? Soul Survivor Part 1 When we began thoughts of this series I asked myself a few preliminary questions…. • Who in the Bible best captures the essence of “survivor” skills in the face of great adversity? • Who readily comes to mind when you think of victory over grave ...read more

    The Crowd That Didn’t Follow Jesus

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Nov 1, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,116 views

    A perspective on Mark 5: 21-43. If we are serious about restoring our own life and the life of this congregation then we need to hear the reports about Jesus healing others.

    Mark 5: 21-43 The Crowd That Didn’t Follow Jesus There are three miracles in today’s Gospel text. Can you name them? 1. The woman with the issue of blood healed. 2. Jairus’ daughter raised. 3. And perhaps, “The crowd that did not follow Jesus.” Can you imagine the ...read more

    The Truest Meaning Of Christmas

    Contributed by Jerry Stephens on Dec 3, 2014
     | 4,211 views

    At one time or another, most of us have had the experience of being on the outside looking in. More than anything else, for me Christmas is a celebration of inclusion and acceptance and restoration.

    Of all the “true meanings of Christmas,” this is perhaps the truest. When I was a boy, my relatively non-religious family had a Christmas Eve tradition. We’d have a formal, dress-up dinner, and then we’d sit together to talk, tell stories and perhaps read the Christmas ...read more

    A perspective on Luke 13: 10-17. Today, wherever you find Jesus in the life of his disciples, there you will find that the people are delighted with all the wonderful things done in his name.

    Luke 13: 10-17 Jesus, Lord of the Sabbath The crippled woman was one of many on a long list of people that Jesus had healed during his ministry on earth. The text is more than just a reminder of Jesus’ divine ability to heal and his compassion towards all people. There are signals and ...read more

    God expects to answer His call, in spite of our want to's. Moses had to catch the vision of God, and understand that His call was direct and intentional.

    Exodus, Part 4 Exodus 3:1-10 Introduction - Exodus is an incredible study of God's faithfulness to man -- It is also a great encouragement to see man's ability to be faithful to God - This morning we see the call of Moses into the service of God -- Next week we'll see Moses's many replies to ...read more

    Joy Is Restored Series

    Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Dec 17, 2017
     | 12,015 views

    Sorrow is but for a time. The power of prayer, memories of God’s past healing and His loving-kindness sustain Israel. God heals the pain of the present in the same manner as He has healed the pain of the past.

    Joy is the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying: it is keen pleasure, or elation. Joy is more elusive, subtle, and nuanced than happiness. We can manipulate circumstances to our own advantage to obtain what we think will bring happiness, or ...read more
