Parks at Greater Faith Church-Baptist, Waukegan, Illinois on Wednesday, 21 February 2007 John 15:12-17 (v.12) This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

    This is about the disciples locking the doors because of fear; Jesus showed up, and they were afraid anyway. This deals with fear in our lives and overcoming it.

    John 20:19-20 – Behind Closed Doors Today we are continuing in our series on Jesus’ resurrection called He is Risen indeed. What did the resurrection mean to the original band of followers, and what does the resurrection mean for us nearly 2000 years later? The truth is, the resurrection has ...read more

    An exposition of the key features of Jesus’ promise of Another Helper, made to his disciples in John 14, correlating this with Deut. 4 and 1 John 3.

    The Importance Of Sound Doctrine

     | 12,712 views

    Doctrine is not a theological mystery only found in classrooms but the basic teachings of scripture that must we must apply to our lives to be disciples of Jesus Christ.

    As the church has entered the postmodern era, historic biblical teaching has fallen by the wayside and new theologies have taken their place. The ‘new theology’ downplays the value of scripture and shifts the focus on emotionalism and experiential Christianity instead of Christianity based on ...read more

    We Had Hoped...distraught By The Cross Series

    based on 127 ratings
     | 11,633 views

    This sermon takes a look at the cross through the eyes of the disciples and how the cross which was originally one of suffering and shame became one of rejoicing and elation.

    How could they have been so wrong. One by one they each chose to leave everything and to answer the call to follow Jesus and become fishers of men. For 3 brief years they watched in anticipation as Jesus worked miracles and taught with authority. Peter even stated that Jesus was indeed the ...read more

    The Walk, The Word, And The Witness

     | 9,452 views

    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

    Did the Disciples just happen to be out on the sea when Jesus walked by? No. Jesus sent them there. Find out why.

    OPEN: A Scotsman, was taking a trip to the Holy Land, and when he got to the Sea of Galilee he was aghast when he found it would cost fifty dollars an hour to rent a boat to go out on the water.

    The account of Jesus' encounter with the two disciples on the road to Emmaus demonstrates how we can walk with the risen Christ in our day to day lives.

    I read about a pastor who was given the honor of preaching at an important meeting of his denomination. Just before he was to start his sermon he was seen to be looking anxiously around the audience. The chairman whispered to him, "What’s the problem? Is there someone here who’s heard ...read more

    Jesus promised Peter and his fellow disciples that they would be sifted as wheat. This sifting had profound implications for these men and could for us as well today.

    SIFTED LIKE WHEAT Luke 22:24-34 24 Now there was also a dispute among them, as to which of them should be considered the greatest. 25 And He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called 'benefactors.' 26 But not so ...read more

    "Assuring Promises"

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Dec 16, 2010
     | 6,315 views

    Jesus told the disciples some things that should have given them - and should give all believers - comforting assurances regarding security in Him.

    “Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. ...read more

    Jesus' encounter with his disciples on their journey to Emmaus is a beautiful example of the invitation into a deeper relationship with Christ. I brought this message before a Communion Service.

    This describes a conversation had by Jesus' fishermen disciples, talking about the miraculous event later, spoken with the local accent. Better heard than read.

    John 21:1-14 – Who’s the Boss? Today, we look at one of my favourite stories in the whole Bible. I can’t exactly tell you why I like it so much. Maybe it’s Jesus’ playful and whimsical nature shining through. Maybe it’s because I grew up in a fishing village, ...read more
