    The Three Cs Of Discipleship

    Contributed by Ray Ellis on Jun 8, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,512 views

    Becoming a Christ follower is conditional. We have the choice to say, “Yes” or “No” to becoming a disciple of Jesus. Jesus said, “If anyone will come after me…” Jesus gives the invitation and then leaves the choice up to us.

    The Three “Cs” of Discipleship Luke 9:23-26 During my twelve years of ministry here the mission of the Willow Vale Church has been: “Bringing people to Jesus, loving, equipping and sending them out to make more and better disciples.” Jesus gave us the mission and purpose of the church ...read more

    How Paul made the Jews jealous so as to provoke them to faith in Christ and warned the Gentiles not to be presumptuous now that they were believers in Jesus Christ.

    ROMANS 11: 11-22 The Problems of Jealousy and Presumption 11 “I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not!

    The Ones Whom God Loves

    Contributed by Ray Mckendry on Oct 23, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,394 views

    To show that God loves the world that is in rebellion against Him and that gratitude to Him ought to be the response to His grace. The application of the Law of God seems to be the only thing that brings some people to see their need of Christ.

    "The Ones Whom God Loves" JOHN 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." It’s a wonderful truth. It is gospel truth; truth in a nutshell. The Lord says He loves the world. “For God so loved the ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,869 views

    To show that while gentiles have not suffered as God’s people, the Jews, have suffered, we cannot be arrogant or unbelieving and presume upon God but must come together with the Jews in humble faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

    1. The Sadness of the Broken off Branches and the Future Triumph (15,16,23,24,26,27) What a storm we might have seen or experienced! The images in this part of Romans speak so clearly to the sadness of the situation of those branches broken off from the Tree. Have you seen trees whose branches ...read more

     | 9,837 views

    There are two ways to approach life, with a clenched fish or an open hand. A clenched fist person says: “All I have, I have gained on my own.” An opened hand person says, “All I have, God has provided and blessed. I am just a manager of all God has gi

    From a Human perspective the world seems hopeless, but with Jesus there are no hopeless situations.

    I John 2:12-14 gives three levels of spiritual maturity, “Children, Young Men, and Fathers.”

    “Spiritual Fathers” I John 2:12-14 Today we honor fathers. One thing that helps us as parents is not to take life or our children too seriously. Having lots of humor keep us on track.

    Contributed by Ray Geide on Feb 9, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,621 views

    How the Bible is hid today and who it is hid to.

    2 Corinthians 4:3 says, "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost." The gospel and the Bible are hid to those who are lost because they have not heard it. But that is not the only problem. There is something else that hides the gospel and the Bible and hides it to much more ...read more

    What must a person do to go to heaven? The answer is quite obvious in the Bible. God has put a semi-truck load of verses there with the answer. Yet, few see God's semi-truck.
