    The Persuading Witness Of Jesus

    Are we true witnesses to the true faith?

    The Persuading Witness of Jesus 1 John 5:6-13 John in His gospel says that he wrote it to persuade people that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you might have life in His name (John 20:31). This is very similar to what we study here in his first epistle and demonstrates ...read more

    Story Of Faith

    Contributed by Joe Mack Cherry on Aug 20, 2015
     | 6,100 views

    A Christian's life is based on faith. Even the Apostles lacked it at times. This is hard to understand since they were eyewitnesses. We all have evidence that Jesus works in our lives today so when our faith is weak we are no different than them!

    Story of Faith I. Matt. 14:22-33/Mk. 6:30-52/Luke 9:10-17/Jo. 6:1-15 A. Prelude to The Story 1. Prior to Jesus coming to His own hometown Mark tells us He had cast out the demon, Legion and raised a little girl from the dead. Upon arrival to Nazareth He teaches in the ...read more

    1. Jesus wants to be our constant companion (vs. 1-2). 2. Jesus wants to be our finest friend (vs. 2). 3. Jesus wants us to be confident in His care (vs. 3-4). 4. Jesus wants us to point other people to Him (vs. 3-5). 5. Jesus wants us to follow Him to the fullest (vs. 6-10).

    God's Greatest Desires for Our Lives The Gospel of John John 2:1-11 Sermon by Rick Crandall Grayson Baptist Church - May 4, 2016 (Revised June 23, 2019) *Think about how many miracles Jesus performed.

    From Our Mouths To God's Ears Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 18, 2022
     | 3,406 views

    In the midst of the spiritual wilderness that we find ourselves in today, our serenity … our comfort … our confidence comes from the fact that God provides us with our daily bread.

    After Jesus was baptized, the Gospel writers say that Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness where He was tempted by the devil for 40 days (Matthew 4:1-11; Mark 1:12-13; Luke 4:1-13). During that time, Jesus ate nothing. At this point, the devil attempts to use Jesus’ hunger to ...read more

    Sermon # 40 - Mercy Instead Of Judgement Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 10, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 392 views

    Jonah freely accepted God’s mercy but wanted God’s judgement to be given the people of Nineveh. God’s word reminds us that it is not our prerogative to judge others, but rather to be merciful to them, just as God is merciful to us.

    We read in Jonah 4:4, “Then the LORD said, "Do you think it is right for you to be angry?" (ERV) The God who created heaven and the earth asked Jonah the prophet, if he thought it was right to be angry with Him, very much like a parent would enquire of their child, who is upset with ...read more

    The joy of the Lord is our strength, energizer and health. What a privilege to draw from the lifespring water of God’s love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control.

    Let the Word and the Spirit Recharge You Emotionally, Mentally and Spiritually Illustration: Everyone needs recognition for his accomplishments, but few people make the need known quite as clearly as the little boy who said to his father: "Let’s play darts.

     | 3,172 views

    Having grown up in hte desert, I know how harsh the place is and how tempting the options presented by hte devil really are. On the surface the temptations seem harmless and perhaps even good in the right hands but they all take our attention off God.

    I grew up going to the desert, and thought that I knew what the desert lands are all about. I’ve been camping many times in the Anza Berrego wilderness and understand that the desert is a harsh and foreboding place. I know to stay on the trails, look for snakes and take lots of extra water.

    How many times did God’s people cross water that had parted for them? And what does this simple trivia question tell us about God’s main message in Scripture?

    OPEN: I love trivia. I enjoy all kinds of trivia games. AND being a preacher, I especially love Bible trivia. In fact, I’ve even came up with my own Bible trivia question that I use sometimes to stump other preachers once in awhile. The Question: “How many times in Scripture did people cross ...read more

    We must create a thirst in others before we offer them the life giving water. This message will give a three part method for creating thirst.

    Introduction: I. The closing point of last Sunday’s sermon was, “Sometimes We Must Create A Thirst, Before We Offer Water.” A. Perhaps as you heard that, one of your questions might well have been, “But just how am I supposed to do that.” B. How do I make people thirsty for the water that only ...read more

    Jesus and His disciples were on their way to Galilee from Judea Contrary to how the devout Jews traveled, Jesus felt the need to go through Samaria..It was the most direct route, however, because of the dislike between the Jews and the Samaritans, devout Jews would take the long route, and go ...read more
