    Paul calls us to count the present as a gift of God, make peace with the past, and rest assured in the future God has in store for those who are his. (This sermon could easily be modified into a funeral/memorial service message.)

    2 Timothy 4:6-8 Finishing Well Did you know the human condition is 100% fatal? How about that for a sermon starter? But the truth is, unless Jesus returns first, we will each reach that moment where we cross over from this life to eternity. What will it be like? Will we be at peace? Will we be ...read more

    We live in seemingly hopeless times where so much is happening - pandemic, riots, protests, fires, and a nation divided. "Is there any hope" for the future? When will it ever end? In this sermon we will discover that Christ is our hope even when all hope is gone.

    Another Storm, Really?

    Contributed by Jason Jones on Nov 16, 2022
     | 1,744 views

    This miracle was not a cool trick to show his disciples, but with a specific purpose, like the others, to reveal himself to the disciples. This miracle was about walking on the water.

    Background to passage: Since the end of chapter four, Jesus has been demonstrating his person and character through multiple miracles. He calmed a storm, cast out a demon, healed the sick, raised a little girl from the dead. Now, having fed the 5000+, Jesus sends them away and sends the disciples ...read more
