    3rd of 6 In John 4, we meet a woman at Samaria. She is doing a chore she’s probably done every day of her life—gathering water from the local well. But on this day her life is transformed because she encounters Jesus. It all starts with an invitation fro

The little village of Wall, South Dakota was barely surviving. Grasshoppers had eaten all the crops in the region. It was a dust bowl ...read more

    Why Was Jesus So Popular? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 18, 2023
     | 1,748 views

    This passage gives us insight into why Jesus became so popular so quickly. It also points out to us something that we emphasize in the modern American church that was not a part of Jesus' popularity.

    VERSE 15 IS THE CENTERPIECE OF THIS PASSAGE: This is a story and testament to Jesus’ quickly rising popularity early in His ministry. - Luke 5:15. - It would be easy to see this passage as another miracle story, but I think it serves a more specific purpose in Luke’s gospel. Jesus has just called ...read more

    Message preached on Sunday before national election, but good for anytime of year. Skeleton outline with supporting Scripture passages.

    Introduction: This week and for the last couple of months, we have heard probably more that we wish to hear about the candidates for public office. We have heard names like Bush, Gore, Buchanan, Nader, Vinroot, Easley, McNairy, Jones, and many others. What about Jesus? Would you vote for Him to ...read more

    Behold The Lamb

    Occasionally, Scripture presents us with events that change everything—epochal moments. This sermon explores one such event from John 1, marking the public unveiling of Jesus' ministry.

    Epochal Events I came across a short line from a theologian and scholar named Richard D. Phillips. He basically said this (as I'm paraphrasing here), “Occasionally in Scripture we come across a truly epochal event that just changes everything.” — Richard D. Phillips I love that word: ...read more

    There is no friend like the friend we have in Jesus.

    Oh What a Friend! Hebrews 4:14-16 There are a lot of things friends share today -- secrets, tickets to a ballgame, notes for a test, cars, time, a shoulder to cry on, a warm handshake of welcome, and much more; but the greatest thing a friend could ever share with someone he or she truly cares ...read more

    Jesus taught us to be discerning rather than judging.

He returned to his den, and lying down there, pretended to be sick, taking care that his sickness should be ...read more

    It is the “final story in Jesus’ public teaching ministry” and only Matthew shares it with us. There are two groups in this passage: those who go into eternal life; those who go into eternal death.

    You Did It For Me Matthew 25:31-46 Introduction We have been studying some of the judgment parables found toward the end of Matthew. The judgment parables offer surprises / great reversals. The last shall be first. Many are invited, Few are chosen. Keep watch, for we do not know the hour. ...read more

    This is about Jesus and woman at the well.

    This is a rich passage. I could spend a couple months preaching from this passage. Give background of animosity between Jews and Samaritans. Women were marginalized. Read John 4:1-42. What does it mean that Jesus had to go through Samaria? Was it divine or geographically necessary? ...read more

    The silence in heaven breaks as seven angels prepare with trumpets. A golden censer rises with our prayers: warning, worship, and wonder unfold before the coming storm of God’s judgment.

    The Coming Storm: Prayers of Incense, Seven Angels Prepare Introduction In the book of Revelation, we encounter some of the most profound and mystical imagery in all of Scripture. Today, we turn our attention to a passage that depicts a moment of divine preparation: a holy pause before judgment, ...read more
