    Savior And Lord

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 19, 2014
     | 2,347 views

    By his sacrifice of himself, Jesus has proven his love for us. And because of that we worship him. We acknowledge him as Savior and Lord not because we have to but because we want to!

    Do you remember the story of the emperor’s clothes? If I am recalling it right, someone persuaded the emperor to buy a suit of clothes that only people with the most exquisite taste in fashion could see. Of course, the emperor could not see the clothes, nor could anyone else – because ...read more

    The Cost To Serve Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 8, 2019
     | 8,256 views

    Jesus had revealed much about the difficulty and opposition the disciples would face as they sought to serve Him. Finally, He revealed their service would also require personal sacrifice - it would come at a cost.

    The Cost to Serve Matthew 10: 34-39 Jesus had revealed much to the disciples regarding what they could expect as they answered the call to proclaim the Good News. He warned that the task would not be easy, many would reject them, and they would face opposition along the way. However, in the midst ...read more

    Jesus Our High Priest

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Oct 28, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 10,468 views

    Jesus is our great high priest. In him we have a permanent salvation, which gives us eternal security. We also have a perfect sacrifice, complete with nothing needed for our salvation.

    Jesus our High Priest Hebrews 7:23-28 At the VA hospital where I work during the week, we always have a chaplain on call, ready to respond in case of emergency. Our student chaplains carry the phone most of the time, but sometimes I get the important task. It’s nice to have a chaplain ready to ...read more

    Best Friends Forever

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jul 8, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,449 views

    The friendship of David and Joshua is one of the closest in the Bible. From it, we learn that true friends love as they love themselves, sacrifice for the good of the other, and protect one another. If you want a friend, be a friend!

    1 Samuel 17:57-18:4 Best Friends Forever Have you ever had a BFF? A “best friend forever?” Or better yet, a BFFL? A “best friend for life?” Or in short form, a “bestie?” Someone who knows you better than you know yourself? I saw a quote this week: “We are going to be best friends forever... ...read more

    Overcoming Spiritual Amnesia

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Nov 9, 2015
     | 7,367 views

    Consider what Jesus did for you on the cross and give Him praise and gratitude for the sacrifice He made for you! And realize that His death was enough to take away your sins and give you life.

    Overcoming Spiritual Amnesia 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." ...read more

    Joining A Jesus Parade

    Contributed by Ernie Arnold on Mar 26, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,631 views

    Ready to join a Jesus Parade? It's different than you may imagine. It involves kingship and protest. It involves faith and courage. It involves surrender and sacrifice. It involves praise and peace. But it leads to a life of victory.

    Scripture: Mark 11 Mark 11 New International Version (NIV) Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King 11 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, ...read more

    Who Are God's People?

    Contributed by Judith Hand on Oct 11, 2014
     | 6,570 views

    God's people are forgiven sinners who have accepted Christ's sacrifice for their sins. Repentant people are accepted by God, but those who think they are good enough to enter heaven on their own merit will be cast out.

    Who Are God’s People? Exodus 32:1-14 Philippians 4:1-9 Matthew 22:1-14 Our first reading from Exodus is not difficult to understand. The Israelites have gotten impatient waiting for Moses so they ask Aaron to make them gods who will go before them. They had had many highs and lows on ...read more

    The Character Of A Disciple: Love Series

    Agape is the highest form of love … the love that everyone wants to receive but few are ready to give because of the sacrifice involved. How can anyone receive agape if no one is willing to live and to share and to give agape?

    Eleven adults and 26 high school students loaded into three vans in the parking lot of the First United Methodist Church in Hartselle, Alabama, said good-by to family and friends and home and drove over 700 miles to a little town on the shores of Lake Okeechobee. Two of the adult leaders had been ...read more

    Trials And Temptations

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 1,364 views

    God tested the Israelites in the desert to know what was in their hearts, and tested Abraham’s faith by asking him to sacrifice Isaac. God allows external hardships or difficult situations produce good qualities in us.

    Opening illustration: Illustrate the difference between Temptation and Trial. Introduction: In the New Testament, the same Greek word (peirazo) is used for trial, test, and temptation. The basic meaning of peirazo is to test something to determine its response, value, or character. When peirazo is ...read more

    What Jesus Really Means

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Aug 15, 2024
     | 823 views

    Jesus made strong statements about His "body and blood" that could be misinterpreted as "cannibalism." However, Jesus meant something so much deeper as the Atoning sacrifice for sin.

    JESUS IS CAUSING QUITE A STIR AMONGST THE PEOPLE. THERE IS A RISING DISPUTE AMONGST THE JEWISH LEADERS INSINUATING A POSSIBILITY OF CANNIBALISM. MANY FOLLOWERS ARE TAKING THE WORDS OF JESUS LITERALLY THAT HE IS SPEAKING OF EATING REAL HUMAN FLESH AND BLOOD. IS THIS FOR REAL? JESUS DOESN’T SEEM TO ...read more

    A Worshiper Who Draws Near To The Bible

     | 479 views

    Christian worship is a thankful response to God’s mercy, giving our lives as living sacrifices. It means not following the world but being changed by filling our minds with Scripture to know God’s will.

    “A worshiper who draws near to the Bible” Therefore, brothers and sisters, because God’s mercy is so great, I urge you to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the ...read more

    Godliness Over Gain

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Mar 18, 2025
     | 497 views

    You want a deeper walk with Jesus? That will mean persecution, not prosperity. It may mean sacrifice of health to walk in holiness. Remember, He was rejected and crucified. Apostles often lived in jail or the open field, not mansions.

    Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you,and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

    based on 1 rating
     | 12,731 views

    Abraham faced, and passed, probably the greatest test of faith given to a man (except for Jesus). Today we'll focus on Genesis 22 where God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. We'll see that It takes faith to put God first.

    IT TAKES FAITH (part seven) Hebrews 11:17-19 Today we'll be looking at probably the greatest test of faith given to a man followed by the greatest display of trust and obedience (next to Jesus', of course). In this story we have God commanding Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. But this is the ...read more

    Jesus purpose was to bridge the gap between God and man. His birth as a man and the sacrifice he made brings us into relationship with God. God had a purpose for Jesus and he has a purpose for each of us.

    Four Christmas Gifts Worth Unwrapping “Unwrapping God’s Purpose” 12/26/04 Intro: Merry Christmas! I hope you had a great day of celebrating the arrival of Jesus.

    A Life Of Freedom (By Pastor Jose Gomez Jr.)

    There is freedom available from sin and weakness. But, there are no human actions or works that help save us. It is only through the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made that we can ever hope to be boundless, limitless, and truly free.

    Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more kindness and forgiveness? 2 Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? 3 Or have you forgotten that when we became Christians and were baptized to become one with Christ Jesus, we died with ...read more
