    This message deals with trials and tribulations that we face in life.

    GETTING TO THE OTHER SIDE Matt 8:18-32 F. B. Meyer explained it this way: “A bar of iron worth $2.50, when wrought into horseshoes is worth $5. If made into needles it is worth $175. If into penknife blades it is worth $1,625. If made into springs for watches it is worth $125,000. What a ‘trial by ...read more

    Jesus never had a residence here in his ministry. The foxes have holes, the birds nests, but the Son of Man hath not where to lay his head. Even today he is looking for a place to abide... will you provide him a dwelling?

    From the Desk of Pastor Toby Powers Truth Baptist Church Bremen, GA The Son of Man Hath No Place to Lay His Head Matthew 8:20 Intro: In this passage of Scripture a man has approached the Lord asking to go with him. He told Jesus he would follow him wherever he would go. Jesus explained to this man ...read more

    3rd in series "Miracles in Matthew." Looks at whay we doubt the Lord in crises and why we don’t need to doubt.

    Introduction: 1. A storm at sea. There is nothing else that so vividly potrays a picture of helplessness. A tiny boat on the open water tossed by the waves, defenseless. 2. It makes a perfect metaphor for the difficulties that we all face in life--situations beyond our control, unpredictable, ...read more

    We are called to bring the Gospel to a world that is full of men and women who have no awareness of their need for God.

    Feast of St. Irenaeus June 28 2010 You Will Be My Witnesses The incident reported in Matthew’s Gospel today, is one in which a “man of the book,” literally, or one who studied Torah, declares his willingness to follow Jesus to the end of the earth. Another one, just identified ...read more

    Authority And The Fear Of God

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 24, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,925 views

    Matthew 8 demonstrates Jesus’ authority in miracles and ministry. Jesus’ words and works show us the depth and extent of His authority. Our call is to walk under that suthority as we hear and heed his instruction.

    Matthew 7 ends with the amazement of the crowds who heard Jesus teachings. They observed that Jesus spoke with authority and not as their teachers of the law or scribes. We noticed several passages last week about the fear of the Lord and its importance to our lives as Christians. Without the ...read more

    My greatest cheerleader of all over the years, my mother who while dying from Leukemia would call and ask how she could pray for me. Updated February 2020. Who I held in my arms and while I sang Jesus name above all names she took her final breath. She to is cheering me on.

    I enjoy listening to stories about people who will not give up; ...... stories of those who stay the course ... even though ... the "going ...gets tough". They are a source of great inspiration ... to all. Remember the man who came to Jesus and said, ..."I will follow you wherever ...read more

    It’s simple,really. Jesus calls us to follow Him. Let’s see what that means.

    Passage: Matthew 8:18-22 Intro: As a kid growing up in the church, there were certain songs that seemed dishonest for me to sing. Here was one: 1) “Earthly pleasures vainly call me, I would be like Jesus. Nothing worldly shall enthrall me, I would be like Jesus. Be like Jesus, this my song, in ...read more

    Part 10 - Matthew 8:18-34 - When Jesus Skips Out On Church, You Know Someth Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 3, 2010
    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,613 views

    It's interesting to me that Jesus called His disciples to leave the crowd and His disciples and they experience some spiritual warfare as they cross to the other side of the lake. Why would Jesus miss this opportunity, when He had a crowd gathered?

    Part 10 - Matthew 8:18-34 - WHEN JESUS SKIPS OUT ON CHURCH, YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG! I remember as a young student Pastor being invited to a Church for afternoon tea. They said they wanted to pray for me. What I didn't realise is that they wanted to pray for me to be their Pastor. At the end ...read more

    A man comes and wants to follow Jesus, and Jesus gives Him an obscure answer about birds nests and foxes dens and about having no place to sleep! What is He saying? IF I AM TO BE A DISCIPLE (A CHRIST FOLLOWER) I CAN NEVER OWN MY OWN HOME?

    Part 11 - Matthew 8:19-20 - DOES THAT MEAN I CAN’T OWN MY OWN HOME, LORD? Here we go again! Jesus doing something totally unexpected! A man comes and wants to follow Him like the other disciples are following Jesus, and He gives him an obscure answer about birds nests and foxes dens and about ...read more

    So how does our loving saviour and Lord get away with saying "Forget about burying your father. Just follow Me now!" How unsympathetic! How insensitive! Give the man a break. Let him bury his own father! What is going on here?

    Part 12 - Matthew 8:18-22 - HOW CAN JESUS BE SO CALLOUS? My Dad died of cancer in a nursing home. He was in a partial coma when I visited him before that day came.
