    Passion for God, if it is to mean anything at all, must be expressed in action. In Luke 10 we consider how Jesus coached the disciples as a pattern for discipleship today.

     | 8,198 views

    What are the interests of Jesus? What are His main concerns?

    Sermon for CATM – Thanksgiving Sunday – October 12, 2008 Today’s passage is challenging because Paul spends some time here speaking of personal concerns, things that hint at some key relationships in the early church, and some of the drama that he was dealing with on a personal level. So within ...read more

     | 3,067 views

    Those who wanted to follow Christ were told to follow him and not even burry their dead. This sermon explores how Jesus called to deeper discipleship.

    Grumpy Jesus: Feelings and Focus Have you ever been grumpy? I don't mean mere frustration; I mean, have you ever been in a place where no one could do anything right? Maybe you haven’t, but I bet you can notice it in other people. That sounds a lot like Jesus in Today's Gospel reading. ...read more

    Is Jesus Enough?

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 26, 2017
     | 8,909 views

    In 1 Corinthians there was an atmosphere of chaos and so the apostle Paul writes a letter. And in that letter he reminds them of the focal point of what he taught them when he was there and that is, "Jesus Christ and Him crucified." Is that all they need?

    Please open your Bibles to 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 which we will read in a few minutes. The church in Corinth in the Bible was filled with problems. The simple act of communion had been perverted into a feast for the rich to gorge themselves in front of those who were poor and had no food. The ...read more

    The Burial Of Jesus

    Contributed by K. Edward Skidmore on Feb 10, 2020
     | 5,594 views

    John 19:31-42 deals with the transition from the cross to the tomb. Two groups are involved here: the Roman soldiers, and two friendly Jewish leaders who have come to believe in Jesus as the promised Messiah.

    The Burial of Jesus: John 19:31-42 Intro: Everything about the arrest, trials, beatings, death, and burial of Jesus was a continuous departure from proper protocols and basic fairness. The only reason this worked is that Jesus permitted all of it to happen to him because he willingly laid down his ...read more

    Jesus Was Rejected Series

    Contributed by Robert Irvine on Apr 23, 2024
     | 820 views

    Jesus was rejected by his family, by his local religious leaders, by Judas Iscariot, by Simon Peter, and then finally by God. So expect to be rejected if you share the Good News of Jesus Christ and him crucified.

    The Old Testament word “hadel” is used in this verse that is transliterated as rejected, but this word has also been used in the Bible to mean forbearing. The word “hadel” is used in Ez 3: when God told the prophet that some will listen to the message but there will also be those who refuse to ...read more

    Jesus calls and we must follow, but when we do He promises to transform our lives and to use us for His glory and honor.

    The Call of Jesus Matthew 4:18-22 Today is President Lincoln’s birthday, and in his honor I’d like to begin with an imaginary story. There once was a man who thought that it was a shame that instead of celebrating Lincoln’s birthday like we used to, we now just celebrate the generic President’s ...read more

    Mary and the disciples discover true belief in Jesus and are sent out to proclaim his resurrection

    It’s early Sunday morning, and she can’t wait any longer. Jesus had been taken down from the cross late on the Friday and buried in Joseph’s tomb, but the Jewish law prohibited them from travelling as far as the tomb on the Sabbath, particularly this Sabbath, being Passover. So they’d had to wait a ...read more
