Jesus starts to experience how people are more interested in his miracles than his message. At the same time Jesus talks a unique path to stay focused on what he has come to do and not give into the temptation of fame and power.
We live in a world that is great at dividing life into "parts." We have our family, our job, our church, etc. But what if Jesus commands more? What if He came to teach that Jesus is the final and ultimate authority of our lives, which means that He must become the ONLY part of our life? Embracing this truth must come with a radical change.
Jesus calls his first disciples to follow Him. They have to leave what is valuable to them to join Jesus on a greater and more valuable mission: being a part of helping people go from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light.
Each Gospel writer engages on the life of Jesus in a unique way. Mark, the first gospel, tells the story of Jesus as the King and someone worthy of following with our whole lives.
Songs are written about love, movies tell the story of love, paintings express the passion of love, but at the same time so many of us struggle to feel and express love. In this sermon we conclude our series and talk about the first aspect of the fruit of the Spirit, love.
Do you find it easier to give in to what is urgent or what is important? In this sermon we will look at self-control and how the Holy Spirit works in the lives of believers to bring self-control.
It has been said that one of the least desired characteristics is gentleness. What if the problem is that we often don't look at gentleness the way God intended? In this message, DJ invites us to explore how gentleness could be one of the key measurements of how much we look like Jesus.
Do you find it hard to stick to a task over a long period of time? This can be a struggle for us in our Christian walk. We can follow Jesus for a long time and wonder if it matters. One aspect of the fruit of the Spirit is faithfulness: the dependability to follow-thru on what we have been called to.
