Water Walking

It was a dark and stormy night...for water skiing! The Disciples had been right inside a miracle. They had distributed a few fish sandwiches to thousands of hungry people, and had more leftovers then they started with. They had been amazed but not enlightened, it seems, because that night they encountered a new challenge, and reacted not in faith but in fear. The Master would help them take their next steps - and they would be wet ones! Here's Jim to open his sermon, Water Walking.

The Lunch That Changed The World

The Disciples were discombobulated. Jesus had told the Twelve to do something they couldn't do. And He seemed to know they couldn't do it. But He still wanted them to do it. Then He told them how. We're looking at "The Feeding of the Five-Thousand." We can learn quite a few things from how this event unfolded - including some lessons about the character of God, and the nature of faith. Let's listen as Jim brings us Part 1 of his sermon, The Lunch that Changed the World.

The Question

"When did Jesus claim to be God?" It's a challenge to Christians - sometimes an accusation: "Jesus never claimed deity for himself; you're just making that up!" Today we'll look at one of the times when Christ "made Himself equal with God." There is no doubt about the passage or the interpretation; the Lord speaks plainly, and His audience understands Him. And He doesn't just make the claim - He backs it up with multiple lines of evidence. Here's Part 1 of Jim's sermon, The Question.

Winning The Contest

Do we use the Bible like Jesus does, or like Satan does? "The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose," Shakespeare observed. And we have a couple of instances of that preserved in Matthew, chapter 4. In what we call the "Wilderness Temptation" not only are Jesus' identity and loyalty being tested, but the integrity of the Word of God is being challenged, too. Here's the opening of a sermon Jim preached in September, 2001. It's called, Winning the Contest.

The Testing

"God loves me; He wouldn't want me to suffer." Satan's first test for Jesus was one that we fail all the time. We rationalize, "Surely God wants me to be happy; therefore...." It's going to come down to a choice of who we'll believe; the Bible, or the devil.

A Most Unusual Beginning

We should begin where Jesus did. It seems odd to us - as it did to John - that the Incarnate Word would come to him to be baptized. This is the wrong way 'round, isn't it? It seems very much as if the Lord is making a statement. In his sermon, A Most Unusual Beginning, Pastor Jim will show us four statements, four markers being laid down that day.

Investing In The Family Business

What are you doing? Wow, that's an open question, isn't it - "What are you doing?" As you're working or studying or enjoying retirement, what are you after? Whose kingdom are you building? Our thoughts can get very cloudy about this matter, as we rattle around in our everyday routines. But Jesus was clear-minded. From the age of 12, if not earlier, He knew His purpose. Jim hopes to make our purpose just as clear with his message, Investing in the Family Business. Here's Part 1.
