Repentance,Faith in God, Baptisms,Laying on of Hands,Resurrection and Judgment - These ideas should be elementary to the mature Christian. Here is a brief but clear message addressing these issues.
We have failed to see the ministry of Jesus as the coming of the Kingdom of God on earth. But the people of Jesus' time thought that way. God's Kingdom is coming and will destroy the devil's work and all rebels. The blind men (and any wise man) cries out, "Have mercy!"
If Jesus calls you to Himself, He is calling you into the Kingdom. If you enter the Kingdom, you enter to work. There is no unemployment in the Kingdom, everyone has a place to serve.
A man is given the opportunity to walk with Jesus as a disciple. But he can not let go of his wealth to do so. Both he and Jesus are heart broken. Worldly treasures separate him and many today from truly following Jesus.
Oh, a touchy subject. They try to drag Jesus into a controversy. But He, as He tends to do, turns the tables and teaches them some powerful stuff about marriage.
The Church is the Body of Christ, the Bride, the Beloved, made up by those redeemed by His blood, born again, possessed by His Spirit, entrusted with the establishment of the Kingdom of God on Earth built in the hearts of men. Therefore Jesus gives us instructions to maintain its holiness and unity.
Reiger gives us personal insight and encouragement on how he maintains his relationship with God.
After examining different perspectives on the work of the Cross, we finally make it to the ultimate motivation. Nothing else makes sense.
When Jesus visits Mary Magdalene He changes her life and gives ours meaning. It's not just about the world, or the apostles. Even you matter to Him.
Man had utterly failed to keep his side of any covenant with God. Now God would bring on man the consequences of his failures. And suggest a new Deal.
Every Christian knows Jesus won. But it is not easy to wrap your mind around how He did battle. Spend a couple minutes with us and we'll talk about it.
There are lofty theories about such grand Ideas as, Redemption and Atonement,theological arguments that divide believers. This message doesn't go there. Instead, it discusses simple historical Biblical views of the Cross, and makes it personal.
The Disciples have an understandably hard time getting on board with Jesus. What/who exactly is He? What does “Rise from the dead” mean? What is the nature of the Kingdom of Heaven? And this week’s question: Who will be the greatest in the Kingdom? Jesus’ answer surprises them.
How often has the church let us down? How many people have been hurt by Christ's representatives? However much the church falls short, Jesus has never disappointed those who truly seek Him.
To see Jesus as Peter, James and John did, standing alone apart and above all others, what a revelation. I hope we can understand what Jesus had to do alone. Finally, I hope we see areas in our lives that we alone can change, decisions that we alone can make, callings that we alone can fulfill.
The Church has been too long on the defensive. We look at the world fatalistically and pessimistically. Is that how Jesus intends it?
Here begins the next chapter in Jesus' life. This marks the beginning of the end. Jesus tries to prepare His disciples for it, but it isn't easy for them to understand. Can we or they be fully committed to following even when we don’t understand what the outcome will be?
An Eye for an Eye... Merry Christmas. The perfect justice and mercy of God seen in a gift exchange He would propose to you.
The world is in a great darkness, hopeless. But God sends us the source of all hope, a great light, Jesus.
Couldn't stop with just one. Now here you have maybe 5 more glorious stories of people who came to be saved by Jesus.
There is no secret power to words but they do have an impact on your life, even eternal life. This is a good message about how to use your words correctly.
A decent message concerning the difference between Religion and Christianity. See if you can find the AD references.
I was recently talking to a friend about this subject. Since I didn't manage to record this weeks super sermon, I thought I would post this one.
This has to be the high point of Peter's life up to that moment. What a fantastic screw-up. I wish we were more like him.
