    In Luke 24 we are presented with disciples who "walk" on the Road to Emmaus, encounter "the Word" along the walk, and become "Witnesses" of His resurrection.

    Let’s open our Bibles this morning to Luke 24. A Sunday School teacher had just finished telling her third graders about how Jesus was crucified and placed in a tomb with a great stone sealing the opening. Then, wanting to share the excitement of the resurrection, she asked: "And what do you think ...read more

    There are a lot of things that we can learn from Peter. This morning though I want to ask you to be reminded of just one thing. What transformed Peter from an unstable man into a man of courage? The grace of God and the power of the resurrection!

    Transformed By Grace, Acts 2:14a, 22-32 Introduction During the first and second centuries, the symbol of Christianity was the fish. A present-day Christian decided that a fishhook would be the proper emblem for a soul-winner to use for winning people to Christ, so he had a little golden fishhook ...read more

    Jesus talks with a Samaritan woman who is "drinking" of the water of relationships. 6 men can’t satisfy her. But the 7th Man, the God-Man Jesus Christ perfectly satisfies!

    Please open your Bibles to John chapter 4. We have a very interesting story here before us this morning, a story of Jesus speaking with a Samaritan woman at a well. This story is interesting because the Jews did not speak with Samaritans. Samaritans were called “half-breeds.” You see when Assyria ...read more

    Everyone tells us to "lighten up." But the serious believer, looking around at a dying world, just can’t do it.

    Passage: 2 Timothy 4:1-8 Intro: Read Paul Simon lyrics from “Have a Good Time” (You can get these on the web) 1. it’s an idea we hear a lot. 2. “lighten up” “Are we having fun yet?”` 3. we all like to laugh, and laughter and joy are good things. 4. but for some people, there is a sense of ...read more

    Jesus "food" was to do God’s will, He "farmed" God’s "field" and He brings delightful "fellowship" to God’s people.

    31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, "Rabbi, eat something." 32 But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you know nothing about." 33 Then his disciples said to each other, "Could someone have brought him food?" 34 "My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his ...read more

    In our text from Acts 18 I see the responsibility of evangelism. 1- We must preach Christ even though we are tentmakers 2- We must continue to preach until people stop listening

    INTRO.- ILL.- A church member of John Henry Jowett’s church said that he heard Jowett preach every Sunday and a friend responded with: "WHAT A TERRIBLE RESPONSIBILITY!" It is terrible to have to listen to some preachers and I may well be one of those! But we are supposed to be responsible when ...read more

    Many are spiritually crippled today, and unless they hear the Name of Jesus, their lives will never be changed. This is what we can offer them - Jesus. Stretch out our hand and pray for those who are in need.

    Today, our world is facing a terrible disaster and too many Christians are running in the wrong direction. I believe that it is time to become "spiritual first res-ponders" and start running toward the disaster. Thanks to Pastor Ben Gutierre

    “GO HOME” Mark 7: 4 When we see disasters, on the news, we most often remember the masses of people running FROM the disaster. But we also notice those who are running toward the trouble. We see the first res-ponders who rush in or people rushing home to do what they can to save their ...read more

    When we are in pain, we are able to grow, because we are ready for change–at least for relief from our pain. And in pain we most clearly understand that our only hope, our only permanent asset, is the love and healing of Our Lord.

    Thursday after Trinity Today in the Ordinary calendar we celebrate St. Philip Neri, founder of the Oratory, and one of the giants of the sixteenth century.

    In this sermon, we examine six different approaches to evangelism and how to be engaged in them. (Much from this sermon comes from Hybils’ Becoming A Contagious Christian, chapter 9)

    Introduction: A. One day a five-year old boy ran to answer the telephone, and answering it said, “Hello.” 1. A woman asked him, “Is your mother home?” 2. “Yes,” the boy replied, “but she’s changing the baby’s diaper and can’t come to the ...read more
