2022 Sermon Theme: Follow Me

Picture
Follow Me in Your Heart

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus hits some tough topics. The divide between what people had heard and what Jesus was teaching, were issues of the heart. In fact, from the heart comes anger which can lead to murder, and lust which can lead to adultery and divorce. Talk about tough topics. In this sermon we see how Jesus points to the real root of the problem, which is the heart.

Follow Me in Seeing Things like Jesus

Jesus lived under the old law, the one given on Sinai and agreed to by Israel. As a result, He kept the law along with its rules and cultural customs. However, Jesus came to point us to a better way. He did not come to remove the law with violence, hate, or anger, but to fulfill it by His perfect sacrifice. Jesus has ended the old law and brought in a new covenant which we can be part of. Are we seeing things like Jesus?​

Follow Me in Your Example

What kind of example do you set for those around you? If you are a Christian, can people tell?

In this sermon, we we look at Jesus challenging His followers to be the positive influence in the world by being "salt" and "light". Are we influencing those around us, or are we just "existing" as Christians? Listen or watch to learn more.

Follow Me in Your Attitude

It is one thing to DO what God asks us to do, it is an entirely different thing to do what God asks us to do while having a good attitude. The beginning of the Sermon on the Mount shows us the attitude God calls us to have towards a variety of situations. Is my attitude where it needs to be, or do I need to change?

Follow Me in Diversity

From many disciples whom followed Jesus, He called 12 specifically to be Apostles. These 12 were very different and diverse, yet they were expected to get along and work together. Today the church should be diverse and is also expected to get along. What can we learn from Jesus calling and naming the 12 Apostles? Watch to learn more!

Follow Me in Doing Good

Many tried to trap Jesus in His words, actions or methods. In Mark chapters 2 and 3 the "Sabbath" controversy was at its highest level. Many had placed keeping the Sabbath above doing good to others. Jesus reminds them that the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. In essence, what good does it do to keep the Sabbath, but not do good to those around you when you have the opportunity. We have to have the right teachings to follow, obey and keep, but we ALSO have to have the right heart in our service towards God

Called to Follow

Peter and others were called to follow Jesus. This wasn't the first time they had seen Jesus perform miracles or the first time they had heard him teach. But, this was the first time they completely left all to follow Him. Jesus calls to us to follow Him. Will we follow? What holds us back from following? Is it work? Friends? Family? Fear?

Follow Me in Reaching Out

Jesus is one who came to set people free from pain and oppression, to proclaim the "year of the Lord." In essence, Jesus came to reach out to the world. Am I willing to be reached? Am I willing to reach out to others?

Follow Me Into the Kingdom

Many misunderstand what the kingdom is, and what it is about. This sermon looks at Jesus teaching Nicodemus about the kingdom and showing us that the kingdom of Christ is here, and it is a spiritual kingdom.

Follow Me: Who is He to you?

Knowing about someone is different than actually knowing them. I may know about Jesus, but do I know Him? Does He know me? This sermon looks at who Jesus is and more importantly, who He is TO ME!

Follow Me INTO Christ

There are tremendous blessings that are found "in Christ". The opposite is that those blessings are not found outside of Christ. This sermons looks at what blessings the Scriptures teach are found "in Christ" as well as how we can be found "in Christ."

Follow Me to Deal with Sin

Sin is deadly, dangerous, and doggedly plagues us. Jesus came into the world so that we would have a way to deal with sin.

Follow Me in Worship

Worship is not a spectator sport; it is involvement, it is active, it is engagement. So, when's the last time you really worshipped? In this lesson we look at how worship is defined to learn how we can offer better worship to God.

Follow Me In Your Parenting

There are no perfect parents out there, just ask Joseph and Mary. They lost Jesus when he was 12 years old! This sermon looks at what Joseph and Mary did right in raising Jesus, as well as what they did wrong in raising Him (like leaving him behind...). Listen or watch to learn more.

Follow Me: I'll Show You the Way

If you were to try to get somewhere you had never been, how would you do it? Ok, I mean without using Siri or Google Maps? If you were searching for heaven, how would you find your way there? Wouldn't you want to know how to get there from someone who had been there? Jesus is from heaven, came to this earth, and is now back in heaven seated at the right hand of God. He can show us the way!

Why Follow?

If Jesus calls us to follow Him, what motivation is there to follow? What makes Him qualified to be the one I follow? We examine some of these questions in this sermon. Watch or listen below

Follow Me

One of the greatest invitations and the most challenging in Scripture is when Jesus calls His disciples to follow Him. Today, if you are His disciple, you are encouraged to keep following. If you are not a disciple (a word which simply means, "follower"), then Jesus calls to you to follow Him. How will you respond? How will you react?
