    Labeling Jesus Series

    Contributed by David Owens on May 1, 2023
     | 2,797 views

    In this section, Mark sandwiched an incident with Jesus' family and an incident with the Jewish religious leaders to show the judgments people were making about Jesus. In the end, Jesus can only be one of three possibilities: Lord, liar or lunatic.

    A. You’ve heard the old joke: “You can call me anything you want, just don’t call me late for dinner.” 1. Have you ever had someone call you a name that hurt you? We all have, right? 2. Some people call us names to deliberately hurt us, but others sometimes call us names in jest, and yet those ...read more

    A man read an ad in the newspaper that said, "Hunting dog for sale, $2500.00, but well worth it."

    He called the number and the man told him that he had to see the dog in action before he would pay that much. The next morning they met and went hunting. The dog flushed two birds from a clump of bushes, and when they fell into the water, the dog walked on top of the water, grabbed the birds, and ...read more

     | 108 views

    God entrusts each of us with unique gifts, calling us to faithfully use them for His purposes, resulting in joy and shared blessing.

    Hello, friends. If you’ve ever held a newborn, signed a mortgage, received a promotion, or sat beside a hospital bed, you know the hush that falls when life reminds you: what we hold is holy. It may show up as a paycheck or a paintbrush, a diploma or a diaper bag, a toolbox or a tender testimony. ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 47 views

    God’s generous presence and blessing are available to us through prayer, inviting us to trust, receive, and live confidently under His open heaven.

    Some mornings feel like the sky sits low and gray, as if our prayers push against a ceiling of clouds. Bills stack, hearts ache, and strength thins out around the edges. And then we read a line of Scripture and it’s as if God opens a window and lets a fresh breeze run through the room. That’s what ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 84 views

    Despite our current limited understanding, God promises we will one day see Him clearly, fully known and loved, reunited and whole in His presence.

    If you’ve ever peered through a fogged-up bathroom mirror and tried to make sense of the face staring back, you know the feeling. Shapes are there. Outlines are there. But clarity? It waits. Life often feels like that—hints without the whole picture, music through a wall, daylight under a door. We ...read more

     | 134 views

    Jesus’ promise gives present assurance of eternal life, freeing us from guilt and fear, and inviting us to trust fully in His finished work.

    Some words rearrange a room, don’t they? A doctor says, “It’s benign,” and shoulders drop. A coach calls your name, and you run to the field. A judge declares, “You’re free to go,” and the hallway home seems shorter. Words can wrap around us like a warm blanket on a windy night. And then there are ...read more

     | 793 views

    God invites our weary, honest selves to find true rest in His presence, offering comfort and strength for every burden we carry.

    There’s a hush that comes when a roomful of tired hearts hears a kind voice. I believe that’s what this moment can be—a hush for hurried souls, a pause for people who have given their best and still feel thin, a holy breath for those who woke up weary. Some of us are carrying backpacks no one else ...read more

    Dead Seeds PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 4, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 38 views

    True spiritual fruitfulness comes when we surrender our lives to God, trusting Him to bring new life and abundance from our acts of faith.

    There’s a wonder in the way God works that often begins small and quiet, like a seed resting in the palm of your hand. If you’ve ever planted one, you know the hush of that moment. You press it into the soil, cover it with a thin blanket of earth, and walk away with a mixture of faith and ...read more

    The sermon emphasizes welcoming others as Christ welcomes us, creating a community of grace, acceptance, and hope that reflects God’s love to all.

    Have you ever watched a little child run into a parent’s arms after a long day? No pretense, no posturing—just a leap and a hug. That’s the holy heartbeat of the church: arms open, hearts open, doors open. In a world quick to label and slow to listen, the family of God is called to be the place ...read more

     | 120 views

    Persistent prayer matters because God hears, cares, and responds in His perfect timing, inviting us to trust Him even when answers seem delayed.

    Some prayers are born in bright rooms with balloons and birthday cake. Others are born at 2:13 a.m., when the house is quiet, the questions are loud, and the pillow is wet. Some prayers feel like sprinting—fast, full of faith. Others feel like limping—slow, sore, and short on strength. If you’ve ...read more

    The sermon emphasizes the vital role of encouragement within the church, showing how our words and presence strengthen one another through life’s challenges.

    Church family, have you noticed how a simple sentence at the right time can steady your soul? A text that says, “I’m praying for you.” A hand on the shoulder with a whisper, “You’re not alone.” Those small syllables become like shelter in a storm. They warm a cold day. They remind your heart that ...read more
