    In John 10 Jesus reaffirms that He is fulfilling Ezekiel 34. Psalm 23 is a Psalm that touches a deep place within our souls. Why would Jesus compare Himself to a “shepherd” if in His own culture the role of the “shepherd” was a profession that was rejected?

    In Jesus Holy Name April 21, 2024 Text: Psalm 23:1-3, John 10:11 Redeemer “My Good Shepherd” Psalm 23, may be the most familiar and favorite of all the psalms. The affirmation of God as our good shepherd implies a truth that touches a deep place within our souls. “Even ...read more

     | 865 views

    This shepherd was able to rejoice with his friends and neighbors because his lost sheep was found. He was overjoyed with the rescue of this one, lost sheep.

    Opening illustration: Did you ever have a kid in your neighborhood that always hid so good nobody could find him? We did. After a while we would give up on him and go off, leaving him to rot wherever he was. Soon or later he would show up all-mad because we didn’t keep looking for him. And we would ...read more

    Jonah 1:3 offers a powerful lesson on obedience, fear, and God's relentless pursuit of us even when we try to flee from His calling.

    Transformed by Truth: Running from God’s Call Jonah 1:3 Jonah 1:3 (NLT): "But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the Lord.

     | 1,674 views

    Christians are not supposed to "flinch" or hesitate to speak God's truth, or from declaring ALL the gospel of God, or flinch in their allegiance to Jesus. Let's surrender ALL today!

    DON’T FLINCH Acts 20:27 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A pastor was walking down the street when he saw 12 young boys gathered around a dog.

     | 1,684 views

    The invitation was to live in the ways of God. It was an invitation to come back to the ways that the people knew were right. When Hosea uses the words “let us”, he speaks in clear terms here to communicate that those who needed to return to the LORD were not alone.

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Play the video “RESTORED.” Israel had wondered far away from its place of origin. As if a child lost in a store, she is drawn away by delights of the eye, sensual insights and an overwhelming urgency to seek her own way. She awakens; finding herself tossed into the gutter of ...read more

    The Holy Spirit is the central actor in Acts. He is the voice of the invisible Jesus who now reigns in heaven. We can learn to listen to His voice. Acts 13-15 provides suggestions how to begin "mission conversations". What was the "common ground" Paul used?

    A humble desire for the Lord of all. Simple, pure, truthful, meek, lowly, humble. That’s what it takes. Maybe in the end that’s a gift from the Lord himself.

    “Mother and daughter looked more like twin sisters. Both were grossly overweight, and together they couldn’t have possessed more than eight teeth.

    Grace - The Unmerited Favor That Redefines Existence

    Contributed by Bishop, W. F. Houston, Jr. on Nov 19, 2023
     | 1,434 views

    Ever wondered why the Gospel emphasizes salvation as a gift? Why is it unearned and freely bestowed? As we explore the truths of God's grace, anchored in Ephesians 2:8-9, we discover a profound answer.

    In the next moments, we'll explore the vastness of God's grace as revealed to us in Ephesians 2-8-9. This scripture reminds us that our salvation isn't a trophy of our deeds, but a testament to God's deep and philosophical love and mercy. It challenges our understanding of merit and ...read more

    Peter’s words to slaves in the first century are relevant to our world in the twenty-first.

    I suspect that a number of you have heard the old story of the young man who was desperately seeking God’s guidance for some crucial issue in his life.
