On the Holy Mountain (Life of Christ Sermon 31)

After Peter’s great confession, Jesus shocked the disciples by plainly stating He must go to Jerusalem and be put to death.  How could this be?  Wasn’t He the Son of the Living God?  A week passed, and Jesus ascended a high mountain with Peter, James, and John to pray.  There, one of the greatest events in world history would transpire – Jesus would be transfigured before the three disciples, and they would see His divine, glorified nature.  In this lesson from the Life of Christ series, Nate Bibens discusses this great event and why it was such an important occasion.

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.

“Here I Am…” – Genesis 22

After many years of growing in his faith, Abraham faced a final great test in Genesis 22.  God had fulfilled His promise and provided Abraham with a son – Isaac.  Now, however, God was commanding Abraham to offer his only and beloved son as an offering to God.  Would Abraham obey?  If he did, how would God fulfill His promise?  Nate Bibens teaches on this beautiful Old Testament story in this sermon, “Here I Am!”
