    Abide In Jesus

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Jun 23, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,617 views

    This is what happens when you ‘abide with God’! You start affecting the life of others! Is it not exciting? Come on, we need to let the world know that it is fun being in the presence of God!

    Vine John 15:5 says, “I am the vine, you are the branches, he who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit, for without Me you can do nothing.” Do you know what it means to abide in Him? The English dictionary defines ‘abide’ as’ hold to and stick to.’ Spiritually it means to ‘stick on to ...read more

    Is Jesus Grumpy?

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Jul 3, 2019
     | 3,112 views

    Those who wanted to follow Christ were told to follow him and not even burry their dead. This sermon explores how Jesus called to deeper discipleship.

    Grumpy Jesus: Feelings and Focus Have you ever been grumpy? I don't mean mere frustration; I mean, have you ever been in a place where no one could do anything right? Maybe you haven’t, but I bet you can notice it in other people. That sounds a lot like Jesus in Today's Gospel reading. ...read more

    We don’t have to wait for Gods plans! God already sent His plans! Gods plans all start with a name, the name above every name, His name is Jesus!

    Vote for Jesus Jesus, others and you! What a wonderful way to spell joy the old chorus we used to sing went. In a country known as the land of opportunity, when you turn on talk shows or the news seems you find nowadays every viewpoint but joy! We’ve got it bad here is the mantra! For the most ...read more

    Jesus And Giving Series

     | 3,182 views

    Today we will turn to examine what Jesus had to say about giving. And we will ask what giving looked like to Jesus. The passage in Luke 14:15-33 is considered one of the "Hard Sayings of Jesus". And indeed, it takes a bit of explanation to make sense of it.

    Jesus and Giving Text: Luke 14:15-33 Luke 14:25-33 (NIV) 25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my ...read more

    At The Feet Of Jesus

    Today I would like to take you to another event that took place during Jesus' time and connect it with a similar event that took place earlier in Jesus’ ministry on earth.

    Palm Sunday commemorates that day in Jesus life where Jesus enters Jerusalem on a colt. Mark chapter 11 says, “And many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road. Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, ...read more

    Just tell the Lord about it Mark 1:29-31

    The Healing of Peter's Mother-in-Law was a seemingly insignificant miracle in a day of many miracles nevertheless, the three synoptic evangelists deemed it important enough to record. In Matt. 8:14-15 it said “And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, ...read more

    Why did the four fishermen follow Jesus? They desired things to be made right in the kingdom of God, and they wanted their lives to count. How is God calling us? The time to respond is NOW.

    JESUS CALLING—Mark 1:14-20 ***Have you heard this riddle? “A man walks into a bar and asks the bartender for a glass of water. The bartender pulls out a gun and points it at the man with a menacing look. The man says, ‘Thank you,’ and walks out. What is going on?” It all makes sense, when you ...read more

    Not The Jesus They Wanted Series

     | 12,174 views

    The crowds were looking for a Christ who would "remain" and lead them into glorious earthly kingdom, but Jesus was talking about being "lifted up" and not being with them forever. The Jesus they wanted wasn't the Jesus they were getting.

    I’m told these were actual answers that children gave in Sunday School: “Noah’s wife was called Joan of Ark.” “The epistles were the wives of the apostles.” “Moses got the 10 Commandments at Mt. Cyanide.” “King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 porcupines.” “The men who followed the Lord were called ...read more

    Searching For Jesus

    Contributed by Mathew Philip on Jan 23, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,531 views

    The story of Joseph and Mary searching for Jesus is an invitation to consider where your are in your journey of faith. If your relationship with God has grown stale, the good news is that Jesus is right where he is supposed to be, just waiting for you to find him.

    When Jesus was 12 years old, his parents went to Jerusalem as they did every year at the feast of the Passover. When the feast was ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not know it, but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's ...read more

    Jesus Is Stronger

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jan 25, 2021
     | 4,654 views

    The story of Jesus casting out a demon in Luke 11 teaches us that Jesus has the power to release us from the power of Satan and indeed from everything that enslaves us. The story also shows us how Jesus deals with reproach and the necessity of positively choosing Jesus.

    INTRODUCTION We are continuing our series in Luke. Today, we have the story of Jesus casting out a demon. I suspect that this story might not be the first choice of many preachers. Casting out demons probably seems very alien to many of us. But this story appears in Matthew, Mark and Luke and ...read more
