Walking on Water – Jesus’ miracles often addressed things like sickness, demon possession, even death. Today’s miracle alleviated fear: The fear of the disciples in general, and Peter in particular. Whether our fear comes from worry, danger, or some kind of emergency, Jesus stands with us, right in the middle of it. Hear our earlier messages in this series and other series at our Messages page.

Greater than our Weakness – In the New Testament, Jesus worked amazing miracles. Many people experience the miraculous power of Jesus today, He is still very much at work in the world. But what about the times we don’t get a miracle? What does it mean when God says No to our prayers? We’ll talk about that today.

Water to Wine — “Greater than our Need” – Most believers take their big problems to Jesus, but we’re tempted to think the little things aren’t important enough to trouble Him with. Jesus launched His world-changing, salvation-delivering ministry by changing water into wine so that a newlywed couple wouldn’t be humiliated. The truth is, if it matters to you, it matters to Jesus. Because He loves us, we can take everything to Him. Hear our earlier messages in this series and other series at our Messages page.

Forgiveness – If you are a Christian, then forgiveness is a required course, not an elective. Jesus taught that God forgives us as we forgive others. How we show grace impacts how we receive grace. The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant offers positive insights from a negative example. Hear our earlier messages in this series and other series at our Messages page.

Treasure – Who hasn’t dreamed of buried treasure and striking it rich? Jesus told two short parables about two men who each found a treasure, and they gave up everything else to get it. It’s a popular storyline in books and movies, but Jesus wasn’t talking about earthly riches; rather, the importance of valuing Him above everything else. We’ll talk today about treasure, priorities, and putting first things first. Hear our earlier messages in this series and other series at our Messages page.

Grace – Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son is one of the most beautiful stories in the Bible. It shows us, not just how God views rebellious people, but how we should too. As recipients of grace, we should be granters of grace. Second chances are the heartbeat of God. Hear our earlier messages in this series and other series at our Messages page.

Excellence – Legendary coach Vince Lombardi once said you cannot achieve perfection. But if you chase perfection, you will catch excellence. The reality is that God expects us to chase perfection and catch excellence. We will fail of course, that’s why we need grace. But He deserves our very best, and we’re going to talk about that today.

Prayer – The Apostle Paul says we are to pray without ceasing. James, the brother of Jesus, says the prayers of the righteous are powerful and effective Jesus Himself says we are to pray with persistence and with assurance that He hears and answers. The thing is, we always pray for God’s will to be done. It’s been said that Prayer is not giving God instructions, but reporting for duty. Today’s parable will take us there.

Baptism and Temptations of Jesus – Jesus began His ministry with baptism by John the Baptist, and temptations in the wilderness by Satan. He was baptized as an example to us, His temptations offer a warning to us. When we get serious about our faith, Satan comes after us harder than ever. We cannot just Try to live for Jesus. We must Train to do it; and when we fail, we Trust God’s grace to sustain us. Hear our earlier messages in this series and other series at our Messages page.
