In this text we see the power of a simple invitation: several times we see followers of Jesus inviting other people to "come and see" the amazing work of Jesus. Today, we can do the same. A simple invitation could change someone's life forever....
People Need to See It!
People need to see the Good News, not just hear about it. How can we, as the church, show people our faith in a way that is attractive and draws them closer to Jesus?

I Am the Way to the Father

Filled with Awe
Guest preacher Mark Tindal challenges us to remember that part of following Jesus is praying for and expecting the miraculous!

Jesus says that he is the Bread of Life? For us to truly live we need to feed on who He is. But what does that mean and how do we do that?

King of Peace
On Palm Sunday we remember the Triumphal Entry of Jesus that marks the beginning of the Passion Week. But what does that event truly signify for us today? And in what ways do we miss Jesus’ offer of peace, similar to how the people of His time ...
More Than Slogan Christianity
A lot of the slogans you hear repeated from well meaning Christians tend to gloss over the rough edges of life and faith. Jesus doesn’t do this. The Garden of Gethsemane experience gives us a deep look at a Savior who suffered deeply. In fact, ...
Full of Yourself
Jesus shows us how to love each other by humbling himself and washing the feet of his disciples. The question for us is, are our lives too full to actually be able to serve anyone? Are we too full of ourselves to serve those in need?

In the story of the feeding of the 5,000 we learn that Jesus not only cares about the spiritual needs of people, he cares about their practical needs as well. How, as followers of Jesus, can demonstrate the same compassion the those around us?
