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 from 2024 (Page 4)
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! 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! 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…
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…
