Going … Make Disciples! “Life” … a little word with only four letters … but without LIFE you are DEAD!! A young boy in a movie from many years ago said the now famous words, “I see dead people!” He was talking about actually “seeing” people who had died, but there is a different kind of “dead people.” When most people talk…

“WE EXIST TO PROCLAIM THE REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST OVER ALL THINGS; GLORIFYING AND ENJOYING GOD, NOW AND FOREVER!”
Sermons on John
Going … Make Disciples! “Authority” is almost considered to be a “four-letter word” by many in our nation today. Whether it is police or government or courts, or teachers, bosses, supervisors and the like, people have a hard time today acknowledging that anyone has the “right” to tell them what to do. Obedience to almost any authority is challenged, leaving people in…
Going … Make Disciples! A disciple of Jesus is one who loves God and loves others. The Apostle Paul wrote to the believers in Corinth, saying that without love “I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal” (I Corinthians 13:1). An old saying declares that “love is a two-way street,” and God confirms the truth of those words when He moves…
Going … Make Disciples! Everybody knows the verse: “God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life!” And always the emphasis is put on two of the first five words: “God SO loved the WORLD!” The understanding of most is that God’s love is SO great that it…
Going … Make Disciples! Perfection!! Let’s face it, the very thought of anyone or anything being “perfect” in this world is, for the most part, unimaginable! So imagine the perfect Son of God, who existed before creation, through whom and for whom everything was made, entering into this world, taking upon Himself a human nature, yet without sin … imagine the perfect…
Going … Make Disciples! It was the prophet Isaiah who spoke of the one “crying in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; make His paths straight!’” (Isaiah 40:3; Matthew 3:3). Isaiah was offering comfort to God’s people, who were living in a spiritual wasteland. Having turned away from God, most of the Jews had little hope of salvation. In fact,…
Going … Make Disciples! Living in the midst of our modern world, having access to an unending stream of knowledge on every subject imaginable, what possible difference could it make to your life whether or not you understand or believe what one book says about one man who lived nearly 2,000 years ago? But what if that “one man” was the fulfillment…
Words From The Upper Room While we cannot go back to that morning when the women and the disciples ran to the tomb to find that Jesus had risen from the dead, it is belief in their testimony that confirms the confession Peter made when Jesus asked them who they said He was: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living…
Words From The Upper Room The writers of the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, all record the events of what some today call “Holy Week,” from Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, to His resurrection one week later. It seems strange to call this period of time “Holy Week,” because it was, in reality, the most “unholy” week in the…
Words From The Upper Room We sometimes joke that certain people think they are “God’s gift to the world.” Such people are often filled with pride and fail to realize that those around them would rather NOT be!! That is just the opposite of GOD’s goal for those who come to know Him. We sometimes, if not often, miss the central truth…
