    In this text we see several challenges made to Peter, however, I want you to notice the specific “challenges” that Jesus made. I. Jesus tested Peter (1-14) II. Jesus examined Peter (15-19) III. Jesus challenged Peter (20-25)

    God wants us to be restored John 21:1-25 (read-15-19) Introduction: God understands each of us as individuals. He is quite aware of our mindsets and moodswings.

    A problem for a lot of people who name the name of Jesus as Christians is there hasn’t been a lot of growth in their Christian life. A lot of Christians don’t grow much beyond that point of conversion. There is no growth in grace, as the Bible calls it.

    INTRODUCTION I’m too young to remember this, but I am told there used to be a television show in black and white entitled, “Wanted, Dead or Alive,” starring Steve McQueen. My wife says she remembers that show, but I don’t. It refers back to an old tradition among bounty ...read more

    Jesus Christ is coming again, that is certain. The midnight call may be heard at any moment. And when that call takes place we will be going home. But sadly very few Christians are thrilled about the imminence of his return. Many don’t want His return.

    MATTHEW 25:1-13 Introduction: Jesus Christ is coming again, that is certain. The midnight call may be heard at any moment. And when that call takes place we will be going home.

    Lord, What Do You Want Me To Do?

     | 18,229 views

    Each and every one of us have a purpose. God desires for each of us to know Him though His Son. But beyond salvation, He has a plan for each of us. Eventually, we must ask the question Saul of Tarsus asked: "Lord, what do You want ME to do?"

    Key Verse: 6a Introduction Q: “Lord, what do you want me to do?” What a question! What a novel idea! Asking the Creator what He desires of His creation. You might say that Saul was a “religious man.” Actually he was a very religious man! He knew how to pray. He had devoted himself to the ...read more

    No one is beyond God's redemption, and like Saul, who became Paul, we are all called to respond to God's transformative power, hope, and command to action.

    Good morning, church! As we gather together today, we turn our focus towards the transformative power of the Gospel, the hope it brings, and the call to action it demands. We'll be hanging out in Acts 9:6, where Saul, a fierce persecutor of the early church, has a life-changing encounter with Jesus ...read more

They want the pain of life to finally stop. And I believe them. Nobody wants grief. Nobody wants loss. Nobody wants broken relationships ...read more

    Using the popular song by Mariah Carey "All I Want For Christmas Is You" this Christmas Eve devotion focuses the fact that all God wanted for Christmas... is you.

    OPEN: There was a preacher who said that (when he was young) he was an only child - for the first few Christmases. As a result, he got the impression that Christmas was all about HIM, and he said “That was the essence of real joy. I thought Christmas was all about me, and all I wanted for ...read more
