    Following His Steps

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 15, 2022
     | 1,095 views

    There are numerous reasons why we suffer. Some suffering is an immediate aftereffect of our own transgression. Our objective ought to be to confront suffering with tolerance, tranquility, and certainty that God is in charge of all things to come.

    There are numerous reasons why we suffer. Some suffering is an immediate aftereffect of our own transgression. A few sins happen because of our own foolishness. A few sins are the consequence of living in a fallen world. Peter is expounding on the suffering that is a result of our good works. ...read more

    This sermon leads people to understand what it means to be a "fisher for men"

    Come, Follow Me – Matthew 4: 12 - 23 Intro: At the time of Jesus as now, there were three methods of fishing: with a line, casting a net, dragging a net. The most difficult , I believe is with a line. I. Look at the “big picture.” What we have here is the message of Jesus followed by an ...read more

    This sermon looks at three individuals who almost follow Jesus. I. The OPPORTUNIST II. The HESITATOR III. The PROCRASTINATOR

    The Almost Followers Of Jesus I watched a video this past week of a table saw that would not cut through flesh. Have any of you worked with table saws? If you have you know how dangerous they can be. They can remove a misplaced finger in less than a second. But the video showed a recent ...read more

    To really follow Jesus will always cost you something

    “One day as Jesus was walking along the shore beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers – Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew – fishing with a net, for they were commercial fishermen. Jesus called out to them, "Come, be my disciples, and I will show you how to fish for people!" And they left ...read more

    Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, 2he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, ...read more

    Loving Through A Pandemic - The High Cost Of Real Love

    Jesus' emphasis was that His followers were to love God with all their heart, soul and mind and then to love their neighbor as he loves himself regardless of the culture. Let's learn to Love God's way!

    I am always amazed to see those in Scripture and in life, who are willing to question Jesus and his word without any intention of learning and submitting to his word. There is a lawyer in the lesson who wished to make trial of the skill of Jesus in solving the intricate and difficult question as to ...read more

    Jesus calls us to follow Him.

    Once in every lifetime something happens on the world stage, which shapes the course of human events. It seems we have lived a lifetime in four years: September 11 and the Tsunami in Asia and Hurricane Katrina for us, have given us more than any one generation should endure. Four years ago today a ...read more

    Playing Follow The Leader Series

    Leaders must lead with truth instead of deception, with grace instead of power, and with unswerving commitment to the the least and the lost.

    Several things prompt this message. First and foremost, I bring this message because I know that it is crucial to teach and re-teach our church’s vision. Everyone needs to understand what we are trying to do as a church. Just saying it once or twice does not get the story told. I want to ...read more

    Leadership and followship demand truth, grace, and sacrifice to be effective. A story-sermon, reworked from one originally done in 1999.

    The desire to be “somebody” is deep within all of us. We want to be distinguished, we need to be acknowledged, we must be somebodies, not nobodies. That desire to be “somebody” can lead us to glorious accomplishment, or it can lead to the depths of degradation. It’s all in what motivates us. Do ...read more

    The Leading Of Christ Series

    Our scriptures are unique in that Christ chose 3 of the 12 disciples to follow Him “into an high mountain apart.” One can only wonder why Jesus chose only 3…

    THE LEADING OF CHRIST Being a disciple of Christ is very important to the Plan of God. Trying to navigate on your own (without God) can be a mistake. When my wife and I travel we usually take our Garmen Navigation and sit it on the dash of our car. We try not to get lost, but it happens… and it’s ...read more

    Many followed Jesus for what they can get out of Him. Peter followed Him because He is the Son of God and He has the words of eternal life.

    [RECAP last week’s sermon taken from Luke 9:57-62] Jesus wants us to be His disciples, who understand the heart of our Father and are willing to commit to doing His will on earth. • To do that well we need to be prepared for what we are getting ourselves into. • Jesus gave ...read more

    Living An Impactful Life

    We are called to be disciples of Christ and disciple-makers for Christ. Jesus challenges us to consider the cost commitment of discipleship, and not be distracted by the comfort and convenience this world offers.

    Being the first Sunday of the year, I want to take some time to revisit our ES mission – to grow as disciples of Christ and be disciple-makers for Christ. Why are we doing what we are doing? Why is this important? Can we do something else, or can we not do this at all? • We are ...read more
