Going … Make Disciples! Jesus didn’t make it easy to be one of His followers. It may have seemed at times that He was actually trying to get people NOT to follow Him!! But what He was really doing was cutting out all of the pretense. It was as though He was telling people, “Don’t say you want to follow Me, or…

“WE EXIST TO PROCLAIM THE REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST OVER ALL THINGS; GLORIFYING AND ENJOYING GOD, NOW AND FOREVER!”
Sermons on Matthew (Page 2)
Going … Make Disciples! People who ask, or think, “What do I have to live for?” are almost always at a place of spiritual desperation, either because they do not know the answer, or they have lost hope due to the circumstances in their lives that have temporarily distracted them from the truth Jesus revealed in the “Beatitudes” … the truth that…
Going … Make Disciples! What does it mean to be “blessed”? If we’re honest, most people imagine that being “blessed” means something “good” has happened and you are feeling “blessed!” So being “blessed,” to most people, is being happy! The problem with that definition is that it leaves you thinking you are NOT “blessed” when you’re NOT happy, when things don’t seem…
Going … Make Disciples! Every human being is guilty of giving in to temptation … of doing something we know is either ethically or morally wrong, or making a choice that is selfish or detrimental to others, and possibly even to ourselves. If you are a Christian and you believe what the Bible says, you know that simply being tempted is not…
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…
Stand Alone Sermon There is something about turning the calendar to a new year that makes it seem that almost anything is possible, which is why many people begin the year by making resolutions. The problem, however, with the resolutions most people make, is that they rely on merely human “will-power” to accomplish them, and so they eventually end up where Paul…
Stand Alone Sermon “Keep your eyes on the prize!” People who want to encourage people to focus, to keep on working, to persevere through trials and to do whatever it takes to reach their goal often use these words. In fact, the Apostle Paul said something very similar in Philippians 3:14: “I press on toward the goal for the prize of the…
The Truth About God, Satan, Angels, Demons, Heaven and Hell Some “secrets” are better hidden than others, and others are “hidden” in plain sight! While most Christians know about and talk about “going to heaven” when they leave this life, few seem to know that heaven is not our final destination! God reveals in His Word that He will destroy this planet…
