Mike Osborne begins a new series of sermons from the Gospel of Luke on September 13. What does it mean to follow Jesus? How can you break free of the "old you" and become the "new you" you were made to be? What's Jesus say about your purpose and calling? This series will answer those questions and more.
In this last message in his "Dare to be a Disciple" series, Mike Osborne teaches on the importance of giving time and money to Kingdom advancement. If you need an incentive for giving, listen for four reasons you should want to give.
This message from Matt Ryman, the 8th in the "Dare to be a Disciple" series, is about the great need for Christians to share their faith as well as the great joy Christians experience when lost people turn to Christ.
Everyone who follows Jesus has been blessed with gifts and by His grace is given opportunities to put these gifts to work. Seth Hammond discusses what gifts God has given us, what we do with these gifts, and what happens when we don't use our gifts.
This message from Matt Ryman, the sixth in the "Dare to be a Disciple" series, is about the importance of church membership. Are you a member of a local church? If not, this message may help you move in that direction.
This message from Mike Osborne, the fifth in the "Dare to be a Disciple" series, is about friendship - why it's important, what makes it difficult to find and sustain, and how to make it happen. Jesus' healing of the paralytic in Luke 5 is the context. Are you in a Fight Club? If not, this sermon might give you some motivation to find one.
The Good Samaritan is a very familiar story of Jesus. But what does it mean? And how should it shape your behavior? Mike Osborne continues his sermon series, "Dare to be a Disciple."
Mike Osborne continues his sermon series, "Dare to be a Disciple," with this message about the woman who anointed Jesus' feet with her tears and expensive perfume. Formerly a prostitute, this woman experienced the forgiving grace of Jesus and responded with lavish love. You'll also meet Simon the Pharisee, who loved Jesus little. With whom do you identify more: Simon or the woman?
A recent survey by Leadership Magazine and Zondervan Publishers found that only 19% of professing Christians are regular Bible readers. Are you too busy to sit at Jesus' feet and listen to his Word? Or do you just wish someone would give you some practical tips on how to read and study the Bible for yourself? If your answer is yes to either question, this sermon may help you. Mike Osborne gives a 5-step process for studying God's Word. Perhaps Jesus is calling you, like he did Martha, to a closer relationship with him.
Do you live "coram Deo" - before the face of God? That is, do you live daily life with an attitude of worship? In this sermon from Luke 5:1-11, Mike explains that we must look at Jesus Christ with eyes fixed upon both his holiness and his love. Simon Peter experienced both, became a worshiper of God, and left everything to become a follower of Jesus. Will you?
In this introductory message to his new series, "Dare to Be a Disciple," Mike gives a challenge to stop washing your nets and get back to fishing! Jesus calls us, just as he did his followers, to reach out and make disciples. Don't let your ordinariness and paucity of resources discourage you. By obeying Jesus' word and claiming his promises, together we can turn the world upside down.
