Who Do You Say Jesus Is? Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Aug 14, 2014

The rejection of Jesus comes (painfully) from those who represent God (teachers, elders, etc.). This presents us with a challenge: Do we lead people to like us or to worship God? If it's all about Him, then we must be willing to give everything to Him!

Who do you say Jesus is? Mark 8:27-33 Introduction - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” - IMP: ...read more

Jesus, Our Hero

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jul 17, 2015

Jesus calls on us today to be heroes like him. We can be heroes like Jesus by doing things such as making our beds, washing the dishes, helping our parents with chores around the house or doing things for our friends or neighbours.

Good morning boys and girls! Can anyone tell me what a hero is? A hero is someone who helps someone else, especially when the person being helped is in danger. Who are your heroes?

Who Am I

Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 15, 2015

Like Peter, we are followers of Jesus. Like Peter, we sometimes have deep faith, and, at other times, a lack of faith. Jesus saw in Peter the same thing he sees in us-building material that can be shaped into a people of faith to serve his reign.

The Gospel reading from Matthew 16:13-20 takes place in the region of Caesarea Philippi. It was a territory where pagan gods were worshipped, and it is there that Jesus asks Peter a question about his identity; not in some safe territory, but in a non-believing location. Perhaps that is why Jesus ...read more

OT prophecy regarding the Advent. The "Stone not cut by human hands" in the Daniel 2 is the Messiah born of a virgin in the NT. Did Daniel understand that Nebuchadnezzar's dream was a prophecy of the coming Kingdom of God to be initiated by Jesus' birth?

Witnesses Of The Light

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 15, 2021

In John's prologue of his gospel, he refers to the person and work of the forerunner of God's Messiah. John the Baptist had the honor of being that individual and was one of a long line of biblical witnesses to the promise of the coming Redeemer.

John the Baptist is described in the opening verse of John's Gospel as a man who was sent from God to bear witness of the Light that is the Lord Jesus Christ. John made it clear, however, that the Baptist was not that light. There had been disciples of John the Baptist who had carried his ...read more
