     | 7,384 views

    In John 15:9-17, the Lord Jesus talks about four kinds of love: the Father’s love for Christ, Christ’s love for us, the disciples love for Christ, and the disciples love for each other. He tells us of “Love In Four Dimensions.”

    LOVE IN FOUR DIMENSIONS John 15:9-17 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Wrong Impressions 1.

    The Forgotten Work Of Discipleship Part I Series

    Contributed by Terry Frazier on Mar 1, 2014
     | 6,878 views

    The Church needs to refocus on discipling new believers and we aren't doing that very well. Mature Christians need to spend more time and energy on growing new believers so that they can go out and become disciple makers. That's the point of Christianity.

    The Forgotten Work Of Discipleship Part I What do you suppose is the main goal of being a Christian? Is it the forgiveness of sin? Is it to become a better person? Is it to do good things for other people? What about being a better husband or a better wife? What about being a better Mom or Dad? ...read more

     | 1,422 views

    People matter to God and therefore, people should matter to us. God wants everyone who is lost to be found and that's why God gave the great commission to the followers of Jesus. We must go make disciples who make disciples.

    Introduction: A. One day, an antique collector was walking through the city when he noticed a mangy cat lapping milk from a saucer in the doorway of a store and he did a double take. 1.

    Jesus’ disciples wanted to do what was right, but they couldn’t seem to do it. Encouragement for those who can’t seem to get it right.

    Matthew 26:36-54 – Mess Ups with Good Intentions Today’s passage is an interesting one. We have been looking at The Life of Jesus since we started the new year, and as we approach Easter – Resurrection Day – we find ourselves getting ever closer to the cross, to His death, by which He forgave ...read more

    based on 64 ratings
     | 7,648 views

    This sermon examines the betrayal of Jesus in Matthew 26 and proposes that there are different ways to betray Jesus. Perhaps the more incipient danger is the indifference of the eleven. The sermon also portrays the manner in which God handles human failur

    SURELY, NOT I! Matthew 26:20-50 I was marooned in a seemingly forsaken place, or so it felt. I did not know anyone. The place was isolated from life.

    If God be for us, who can be against us? If God Is for us, then why do we fear the world? We will examine the Disciple's fearfulness on the occasion of Jesus calming the storm.

    Jesus asked the question, Why are you so fearful? That is a question many need to answer today. In spite of what they say, 90% of the chronic patients who see today's physicians have one common symptom. Their trouble did not start with cough or chest pain or hyperacidity.
