John the Baptist sends his disciples to ask Jesus, "Are you the One who is to come or shall we look for another?" In our minds, the answer is obvious. But in our hearts, we have a tendency to look for another.
We must examine ourselves to see the fruit of obedience in our walk with Jesus. To know why this self-examination is so serious, join me in walking thru Jesus' teaching in Luke 8:4-21.

Jesus calls us to be doers of his word and not mere listeners. But another mistake - a huge one - we can commit is to think that external obedience will be enough. If we think that way, we are like the Pharisees to whom the Lord issued a very strong condemnation in this passage. Our obedience must be from the inside out.
True discipleship means not merely hearing the Word but listening intently with a heart toward obedience. In this sermon, we will explore three qualities of life that God desires for all followers of Jesus.
There are two opposing forces in our world today. As disciples of Jesus, we must take side with Jesus and his kingdom against the kingdom of Satan and this worldly system.
The Parable of the Good Samaritan is much more than just telling us to love our neighbor. Listen to this sermon how that parable points us to our need of Jesus for eternal life. http://wp.me/po4gZ-1XL

Jesus did not call us to live longer, feel happier, and look better, but to, "Deny your self, take up your cross daily and follow me" (Luke 9:23). http://wp.me/po4gZ-1vW

lived, none is greater than John.

he is!”
