Great Faith and Little Dogs (Life of Christ Sermon 29)

When Jesus withdrew for a brief period to the region of Tyre and Sidon, He met a woman in desperate need, for her little daughter was severely oppressed by a demon.  Instead of immediately granting the woman’s request, Jesus acts and speaks in a way that seems strange, even offensive.  In the end however, He extols the woman’s faith and grants her request.  Why did Jesus do and say what He did?  And what made the Syro-Phoenician woman’s faith so commendable? Find out in this lesson from the Life of Christ series entitled “Great Faith and Little Dogs!”

The Bread of Life (Life of Christ Sermon 28)

The day after miraculously feeding thousands, Jesus engaged in a conversation known as the “Bread of Life Discourse.”  In this discussion between Jesus and various groups of followers, He made the first of seven “I Am” statements that John records.  Further, the discussion marked a drastic turning point in the Lord’s ministry, and contains truths about the nature of belief that every Christian needs to understand!

Walking on Stormy Waters (Life of Christ Sermon 27)

After the miraculous feeding of thousands, Jesus’ disciples found themselves in a storm on the Sea of Galilee once more!  This time, however, Jesus wasn’t with them.  As they strove against the wind, their Master came to them in the most unlikely of manners – walking on the waters!  In this sermon, Nate Bibens discusses the gospel accounts of Jesus and Peter walking on the storm-tossed Sea of Galilee.

Child, Arise! (Life of Christ Sermon 25)

In the last sermon from the Life of Christ series, we learned the story of a woman who was healed by merely touching the fringe of Jesus’ garment.  The whole scene took place while Jesus was travelling to the house of Jairus, with the intent of healing Jairus’ sick little girl.  In this sermon, Nate Bibens teaches on the thrilling end of the story, and a miracle that showed Jesus’ power over the dead!

The Fringe of His Garment (Life of Christ Sermon 24)

Upon returning to Capernaum (Mark 5:21-34), Jesus was greeted by a large crowd and an urgent request – Jairus’ daughter was sick and close to death.  Jesus agreed to help, but on His way to heal the girl a suffering woman sought her own cure.  We hope you enjoy this sermon “The Fringe of His Garment” by Nate Bibens!

The Demon Legion (Life of Christ sermon 23)

After watching Jesus calm the storm on the Sea of Galilee, the disciples fearfully asked each other, “Who then is this, that even the wind and sea obey Him?” (Mk. 4:41).  They would receive the answer to their questions only a short time later, and from the most unlikely of sources–a man possessed by a legion of demons!  Mark 5:1-20 tells us of the encounter between Jesus and a legion of demons, and the remarkable salvation Jesus was able to offer to a hopeless man.  We hope you enjoy this sermon from the Life of Christ series!

The Sabbath Showdown (Life of Christ Sermon 20)

One of the primary sources of conflict between Jesus and the Jewish leaders revolved around their traditions regarding the Sabbath.  One particular event that highlights this controversy is a Sabbath day on which the Pharisees rebuked Jesus’ disciples for “plucking heads of grain on the Sabbath.”  In this lesson, Nate Bibens focuses on this event and how Jesus responded to such accusations.
