    Marriage And The Jesus Follower - Perfecting Intimacy Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 17, 2013
     | 3,007 views

    Desiring God leads to raised awareness of who He is and a raised awareness of who God is leads to reshaped priorities that fit His, and reshaped priorities that fit His condition us to recognize that God is enough and when we recognize God is enough we become completely dependent on Him.

    Hebrews 13:4 "Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery." Our goal as followers including those of us who are married is to remain faithful. We started the series on Marriage and the Jesus ...read more

    What Does It Take To Follow Jesus? Series

    When we think we know what following Jesus means, we need to look again. Leaning on our own understanding is not trusting in the Lord with all our heart.

    Luke 9 John McArthur, in his book, The Gospel According to Jesus, tells about a time when he was with a minister driving through a particular city. As they passed a liquor store John happened to mention that it was an unusual-looking place. “Yes,” he said. “There is a whole chain of those ...read more

    How To Follow Jesus--Though Persecuted Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jun 8, 2021
     | 2,196 views

    How we regard difficulties and persecutions will have everything to do with whether we respond positively or negatively to them. Surprising to us, the very things designed by men to destroy faith cause it to thrive, when we have a godly attitude.

    Jeanie and I recently read a book with a provocative name—The Insanity of God—by the pseudonymous author Nip Ripken. Of course, the title elicits the question, what is insane about God—a question the author never directly answers, but only becomes evident upon contemplation of his message. It ...read more

    Jesus is reaching out to this generation calling them to follow Him. He wants to pour Himself into them to make authentic reproductions of Himself. His call supersedes all other earthly responsibilities. Do we have enough of Jesus to reproduce Him?

    Let’s look at how the call that Jesus gave to Matthew when He said, "Follow me," changed Matthew forever and required much of him.

    Follow Me Matthew 9:9; 16:24-26 Matthew 9:9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. "Follow me," he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him. Matthew 16:24-26 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he ...read more

    Jesus Always Follows "Kingdom Rules” Series

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 9, 2017
     | 8,474 views

    This is the third message in the series on Faith. There are rules that govern how we are to live in the kingdom of God and they should be – no, must be – the foundation for how we think and how we make decisions.

    Growing in faith is a process. Sometimes I think we forget that. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are born into a kingdom that we know very little about. That’s why we must grow in our knowledge and understanding of “kingdom rules” if we are to properly live and function in our new ...read more
