Sermons on Towards Jesus:

The Jesus Journey Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Sep 25, 2016

The story of this encounter, like our own journey of faith, may be viewed from three perspectives: 1) The need for understanding (Luke 24:13–24), 2) The source of understanding (Luke 24:25–27), and 3) The response to understanding (Luke 24:28–32).

Luke 24:13–24 13 That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, 14 and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15 While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16 ...read more

Giving To Jesus Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Apr 27, 2008

This is week four of our stewardship month and this week we are looking at gospel accounts of people who gave to Christ.

When people talk about their giving you will often hear them speak about giving to the church or giving to God and sometimes about their gift to Jesus. And those are all valid expressions. I do feel that we give to God through the church and that our giving is an expression of love and obedience ...read more

Jesus' Sermon

Contributed by Lindsey Mann on Jun 26, 2006

What did Jesus mean when He spoke the words of the Sermon on the Mount? He obviously had something in mind because His words show us that it is simply impossible to live the life He commanded us to live!

One of the hardest things for us to do is to reconcile some of the more difficult passages of the bible. Anybody who reads this great sermon will be bemused as they seek to establish a doctrine of salvation by faith alone when they see so much instruction concerning right living. If Paul could ...read more
