What the world needs now is just what Jesus said it needed - love!  Sermon on John 13:31-38  is up!

Jesus is more than an example to follow, He's the Servant we all need to serve us at our point of greatest need. Sermon on Jesus washing His disciples' feet and loving them to the end. Part 28 in the series through the Gospel of John

You may wish to see Jesus. But the real question is, “Do you want to believe in Him?” In this sermon today, we see that Jesus is a king with a mission coming to a people with a condition.

What moves you? If you can answer that question, you're closer to knowing what it is you actually love. In this sermon by Pastor Chris Gensheer from John 11:45-12:8, we see that having the right answers, right ideas, or a long history of being around Jesus could still mean you just hate Jesus or are using Jesus. Only those who know they are loved by Jesus respond in actual love for Jesus.

A stand-alone sermon on Judges 6-7 as we transition our worship time and location in the upcoming week.

In this sermon, Pastor Chris Gensheer shows us the purpose behind our suffering, the slowness of God’s intervention, and the greater glory and grace of God in bringing us through it all to renewed and resurrected life with Him.

The raising of Lazarus is the final and climactic sign of the Gospel of John and his “Book of Signs”; but it is not the final and climactic sign of all God’s promises and working to overcome sin, death, destruction, and dysfunction. No, that will come about with the resurrection of the One who is the “God of life who suffered death” in order to put death to death; The One who lets His grace rather than the grave have the last, final, and ultimate word over our lives; The One who is now leading and guiding by His Spirit all things in all Creation to be redeemed, restored, and renewed in Him - for His glory and our ultimate joy.

Sermon: The Compassionate One Bringing Life out of Death

Series: Part 25 of the series Walking with God: A Journey Through the Gospel of John

Passage: John 11:1-44

Preacher: Chris Gensheer, Lead Pastor of Christ Church Mansfield

In this sermon, Pastor Chris Gensheer takes us through the end, or goal, of our discipleship. From passages in Matthew, Acts, and Habakkuk he explains the who, what, where, when, and why we are to not only be disciples of Jesus but also help make disciples of Jesus out of the nations. We are to […]

Sermon on the importance of relationships in genuine gospel community and radically ordinary hospitality from Matthew 4, Luke 14, and Romans 12.

Grace is free, but it isn't cheap. While in Christ we have everything it takes to walk with Him, it will take everything we've got to do so. The path of discipleship is costly and will demand all that we love and all that we have. But He, and He alone is worth it every step of the way.

Wherever we are, today, tomorrow, and throughout the rest of your days, we need to learn to focus on Jesus and change what you pay attention to. He is worth it. If you gaze at Him long enough, you just might find yourself stoking a fiery passion for Him that the rest of the world notices and finds irresistible.
