What Do You Get For Following Jesus? - Mark 6:14-30 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Oct 19, 2023

Herod liked to listen to John but remained perplexed instead of repenting. The great “king” became powerless before a little girl because of his bondage to lust, pride, and the idol of human approval.

Mark 6:14 King Herod heard about this, for Jesus’ name had become well known. Some were saying, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.” 15 Others said, “He is Elijah.” And still others claimed, “He is a prophet, like one of the ...read more

Not Even One Series

This sermon unpacks the concept of sin and how we have all been tainted by it, along with the freedom from it thanks to the forgiveness and redemption made possible through Jesus Christ.

If you were here this past week, you know that I just began a new sermon series entitled “Do Not Conform. Be Transformed.” It was based on Romans 12.1. Today we are starting to dig in to that series. We are going to look at a different section of Romans. We are going to look at Romans 3:10-12 ...read more

I Want To See - Mark 10:46-52 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Feb 3, 2024

Bartimaeus is the only person Jesus healed who is named on the pages of Scripture. Why is it so important that we know his name and his father’s name? The answer will turn your world upside-down (or more accurately, right-side up)!

Mark 10:46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus was leaving the city with his disciples and a large crowd, a blind man, Bartimaeus (that is, the Son of Timaeus), was sitting by the roadside begging. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have ...read more

John 3:16 Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 23, 2024

When John wrote these words, Jews would have thought God would love only the righteous. But the Bible doesn’t say God loves good-looking people. The Bible doesn’t say God loves rich and successful people.

Think with me about some of the most famous sayings in history. Martin Luther King Jr said famously, “I have a dream…” John Fitzgerald Kennedy said, “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” Perhaps there is no more famous sentence anywhere than John ...read more

Today’s message is a message of hope. Frederick Buechner, in his book, “The Longing for Home: Recollections and Reflections” writes: If preachers decide to preach about hope, let them preach out of what they themselves hope for. They hope that the words of their sermons may bring some measure of ...read more
