    Why Do We Need Jesus As Our Shepherd?

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 1, 2021
     | 2,336 views

    Shepherds were known for their devotion to the sheep in their care. This parable illustrates Jesus's love for us as the shepherd of our souls who laid down His life for us. His sheep follow Him because they know His voice.

    John 10:1 - 10:  “Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his ...read more

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 2, 2021
     | 2,350 views

    Being sealed by God's Holy Spirit does not make us exempt from temptation. We can only win over and against temptation by putting our faith in Jesus Christ who can help us to resist temptation.

    BAPTISM AND THE BATTLEGROUND Text: Mark 1:9-15 Mark 1:9-15  "In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.  (10)  And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on ...read more

    Freedom And The Fruits Of The Spirit (June 30, 2019)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 2, 2021
     | 3,408 views

    Paul preached about God’s grace whereas his opponents preached contrary to Paul’s message arguing that the law required circumcision. Why would a prisoner who has been granted freedom want to return to prison?

    FREEDOM AND THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT Text: Galatians 5:1, 13-26 Galatians 5:1, 13-16:  For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.  …  (13)  For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as ...read more

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 2, 2021
     | 4,960 views

    Jesus Christ did not come to judge the world but to save the world (John 3:17). Our future depends on the decision we make about Jesus Christ!

    YOUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON THIS Text: John 3:14 - 21 John 3:14-21  And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,  (15)  that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.  (16)  "For God so loved the world that he gave ...read more

    Avoiding The Ditch

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 2, 2021
     | 2,164 views

    We usually tend to think of stories having a good guy and a bad guy. The good guy is always the hero and the bad guy is always the villain. This story adds a third dimension that makes us uncomfortable which is the indifferent category. This sermon is about avoiding the pain of others.

    AVOIDING THE DITCH (July 25, 2012) Text: Luke 10:30 -35 Luke 10:30-35  Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.  (31)  Now by chance a priest was going ...read more

    A Semper–fi Friend

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 2, 2021
     | 1,863 views

    Jesus tells us that we are His friends if we do what He commands us (John 15:14). If we keep His commandments, then we abide in His love (John 15:9). Jesus wants us to be semper fi friends! This sermon is about how a dog taught me something about the Gospel.

    A SEMPER–FI FRIEND (August 1, 2012) Text : John 15:14 John 15:14  You are my friends if you do what I command you. (NRSV). Although you might think the title refers to a marine, in this case, it is being used to refer to friendship. If you ever see a USMC bumper ...read more

     | 3,013 views

    Satan often seeks to strike from a hidden position. Whether hidden and concealed or hidden in plain sight Satan seeks to ambush us. We can only be victorious through Jesus Christ.

    AMBUSH (2016) Text: Luke 4:1 – 13 As a student pastor, I had my first confirmands for a confirmation class. We were having a session, imitating how some of the very first Christians lived with the threat of persecution, one of the leaders jumped in the door and said with a ...read more

    Fulfilling The Law

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,236 views

    When Jesus uses the metaphors of salt and light, He is talking to us about our covenant, our calling and how they relate to our righteousness.

    FULFILLING THE LAW Text: Matthew 5:13 - 20 Mat 5:13-20  "You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot.  (14)  "You are the light of the ...read more

     | 2,818 views

    People can religiously get out of synch with the way that they worship as it may have deviated away from what God intended.

    OUT OF SYNCH Text: John 2:13 – 22 Joh 2:13-22  The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.  (14)  In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables.  (15)  Making a whip of cords, he ...read more

    Spitfire

     | 1,732 views

    How many times have we spit fire and have said more than we meant to say? How many times have we lost our cool? James is talking about teaching and self-control as it relates to speech.

    SPITFIRE (September 16, 2012) Text: James 3:1- 12 Jas 3:1-12  Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and sisters, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.  (2)  For all of us make many mistakes. Anyone who makes no mistakes in speaking is ...read more

    Welcoming The Repentant Sinners (September 8, 2013)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2021
     | 1,947 views

    Do we rejoice with God and the angels of heaven every time another sinner repents? In Luke 15 , Jesus tells three parables and all three parables end with a celebration. But, not everyone comes to the celebration.

    Luke 15:1-10 GNB One day when many tax collectors and other outcasts came to listen to Jesus, (2) the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law started grumbling, "This man welcomes outcasts and even eats with them!" (3) So Jesus told them this parable: (4) "Suppose one of you has ...read more

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2021
     | 3,601 views

    There's Nothing Like A Mother's Love

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2021
     | 2,683 views

    In the New Testament we have a wonderful picture that Jesus would tend to people much like a mother hen would tend to her young (Luke 13:34). Comfort involves compassion, encouragement and sympathy.

    THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A MOTHER'S LOVE Text: Isaiah 66:13 Isaiah 66:13  As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem. A young, awkward boy grew up in southern California, plagued by a learning disability that in later ...read more
