    Open My Eyes, Lord

    Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jun 24, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,073 views

    Watching & praying are often associated in the Bible. Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, asked his Disciples to watch & pray with him as he prayed in the Garden at Gethsemane. I think Jesus was asking them more than simply to stay awake & pray.

    Jesus looks at His disciples in Matthew 10, a chapter full of warnings about persecution, hostility, betrayal, and suffering - He gives them one of the most comforting promises in all of Scripture.Before the world threatens, Jesus assures. Before the opposition rises, Jesus supplies.

    Go! And Be Filled With the Father’s Spirit - Matthew 10:20 INTRODUCTION — GRIPPED BY A PROMISE IN A HOSTILE WORLD Have you ever found yourself in a moment where you simply did not have the words?

    Don't Give Up

    A lesson from Luke 9:37-43a is to never give up doing something for God. Like the disciples we may need for training or education to accomplish the task. Evangelism is one of the most difficult things to do. However, with training it is not that bad. Afterall, it is for God

Dr. Michael H Koplitz Luke 9:37 On the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met Him. 38 And a man from the crowd shouted, saying, “Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, because he is my only son, 39 and a spirit seizes him and ...read more

    Sermon # 14 - The Way Of The Cross Part 3 - Who Is Jesus To You? Series

     | 450 views

    The people in Jesus’ day had various perception of who He was, but Peter the disciple of Jesus truly understood who Jesus was. The important question we need to ask ourselves is, “Who is Jesus to us personally?” The answer to this is vital both for now and for eternity.

    We read in Matthew 16:13, Now after coming into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus questioned His disciples, saying, "Who do men declare Me, the Son of man, to be?" (AFV) The above was the question that Jesus asked His disciples. Jesus had performed so many miraculous signs and ...read more

    Today’s message comes from the Gospel of John, Chapter 20, verses 19-31. This passage recounts Jesus’ appearance to His disciples after the resurrection and the story of Thomas, often called “Doubting Thomas.” It speaks to the themes of fear, doubt, and the transformative power of faith.

    **Introduction** Good morning, beloved! Today’s message comes from the Gospel of John, Chapter 20, verses 19-31.

    The illustration is a fictional story about "knowing the day of our death". Jesus knew why He was going to Jerusalem. The disciples believe the "kingdom" of the Son of Man, Daniel 7 is about to be fulfilled. Jesus turns Daniel upside down. Service!

    This message relates to the story of Jesus's crucifixion. It depicts the disciples, who were heartbroken and hiding in an upper room after Jesus's death, with their hopes shattered. The message conveys the excitement when Jesus appears before them after his resurrection.

    The Prophecy In The Upper Room, Part 2

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 19, 2022
     | 1,237 views

    The Lord Jesus gave a promise to His disciples and those who would come to Him for salvation that He would return for them (John 14:1-3). These verses are considered to be His teaching on the "Rapture". Are we correct in this interpretation? We will look at the evidence.

    On the night before He was to undergo the trial of the crucifixion and the redemptive work it ensued on behalf of fallen humanity, Jesus had given the disciples the assurance that even though He would soon leave them, He also promised that He would return and "receive you to Myself, that ...read more

    "hate Speech" According To Jesus: A Refresher Course

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 5, 2022
     | 1,952 views

    The Lord Jesus warned His disciples that they would be hated for telling the truth about sin, spiritual death, and the need for redemption found only in Him (John 14:6; Acts 4:12). This message is still hated by the world today. Some things never change.

    I want to begin with defining a term describing the attempts of Christians who, no matter how well-meaning their intentions, somehow believe that they can make friends with a worldview that hates them no matter what they do, say, or imitate. They bend over backwards trying to "fit in" ...read more

    Jesus Only Speaks a few words while he is on the cross...this short sermon looks into what Jesus was going through during that time of sacrifice and pain...and what he says to the few disciples who witnessed this horrific event and the last words of their Rabbi...

    There are only a few things that we have recorded of what Jesus said from the cross…and it’s interesting to note, because as I was preparing for today, I was trying to wrap my head around the things Jesus was going through at the time…of course there is absolutely no way for me to do this, because ...read more

    Modern Day Miracles, Do They Happen As You May Think They Should?

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jul 6, 2025
     | 283 views

    We read of Jesus, and his disciples too, performing great miracles, and so, after studying Christianity for years, you would think that there would come a point … where we should be equipped to perform some kind of miracle … and we do not, so why?

    “Please join me in my prayer.” Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of our hearts, be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, our strength, and our redeemer. Amen. (Ps. 19:14).

    That Special Touch

    Contributed by Richard L. Brown on Feb 1, 2026
     | 79 views

    This is a sermon on how we as Christians are called to Compassionate Ministry and the true meaning of being a disciple of Christ; that we are called to put our compassion to work in our lives and reach out to others. It is not enough to just feel it, we must do something about it.

    “That Special Touch” Mark 5:21-34 This morning, I want to talk about something special. Something that only a Christian can understand and appreciate. What am I talking about? It is learning to use a special Kind of Touch. Not just the healing touch like a Doctor or a Nurse, but the special ...read more

    When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into these boats and went to Capernaum to look for Jesus. When they had found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?" Jesus replied t

    A wise person once told me that what you see in life depends on what you are looking at, and that what you hear depends on who you listen to, just as the answers you get depend largely on the questions you ask.

    We are in the latter part of the first chapter of the Gospel according to St Mark this week, and it’s a scene that I think would make very acceptable day-time television. It is very ’G’ rated.
