Today, we see ourselves being able to identify so easily with the Desperate and the Unworthy! We often ask the question, "How good do I have to be to get into heaven?" Which leads us to, "How good is good enough?" It’s really the wrong question, the real questions is how desperate are you this morning? Do you feel your unworthy of God’s love? Do you think there is no way that Lord would accept you? I have am incredible word for you: Christ is ready to meet you right where you are!
Each inch of the nails that were driven into our Savior make a statement about the hope we have in Him...
This morning as we continue our journey through the book of Luke we’ll look at the incredible Devotion of 4 friends who did whatever it took to get their friend to Jesus. As a result, their friend experienced amazing Deliverance by Jesus from being unable to walk to a man who walked again and, more importantly, found his sins forgiven...
We have seen how Jesus dealt with Disease and Death and now we will see him deal with the Demon Possessed or Demoniac. As we continue our journey we jump backwards in our study of the book of Luke and see where Jesus commissioned the first missionary before He ever commissioned the apostles and other believers in the book of Acts. It is the most unthinkable person, the most unlikely that Jesus uses...
“Be still there is a healer.” I have to believe that if there could have been a song written by the individual we are talking about today, this would have been the song…
We continue to look at 180° moments in the book of Luke and how these people were at dead ends in their lives until they met Jesus. The question and challenge for us this morning is, "Are we willing to make the 180° turn that we need in our daily lives?" That is what I am praying for in your life and mine: a U-turn that only the Lord can bring in our lives!
This morning we turn our attention to the Unbelievable as Jesus faces Death head on. We will simply be amazed at these 2 events in the lives of two very different people yet with the same amazing outcome.
We begin a new series today, one I am looking forward to for I love reading the gospels about Jesus and how He affected the people that came in contact with Him. Over the next 9 weeks we will see his influence in people's lives particularly in the book of Luke and then using the other gospels who also recorded the same events to shed light on the story. We’ll look at 9 people, or sometimes groups of people, whose lives came in touch with Jesus and they had an 180° moment in their life.
We come to what has been a powerful and, I pray yet again, life-changing and church changing kind of message series – that we put into practice as we move forward. The question is will we truly be committed to the Church and stay the course?
This morning we come to the Third part of the journey on discovering what it means to be a Church Member – my commitment to be A Healthy Church Member. If we want to have a healthy church, which is vital, then it must full of healthy Church Members. A healthy church grows, it is able to reach into its community and make a huge and lasting impact, it is able to send people out into the world to make a difference...
