Whole Heart Fellowship Sermons

The second time the disciples find themselves in a storm on the Sea of Galilee, Jesus is not in the boat with them. This passage reinfoces the truth that the trials that the Lord allows to manifest in our lives brings insight into our true nature and the nature of the Father. When we are in the Lord’s Spirit, we will reflect Him as His children.

As Jesus and his disciples cross the Sea of Galilee, we see two very different responses to the storms of life. Jesus’ response is not only a lesson in finding peace in God, but also reveals his holy authority over all of creation.

We look at the healing of the Maniac at Gadera. We address two supposed contradictions in the accounts. We also see the true authority Christ has and the impact of a ministry that changes lives.

We look at the healing of the ten lepers and how only one returned back to praise the Lord for his healing.

We look at the miracle of feed the 5,000 (men, plus women and children). We break the four accounts into similar aspects and discuss each.

We take a dive into the interaction of Jesus and Peter before Christ calls Peter to follow him. It involves the use of Peter's boat and the following of a simple, but irrational command.

There is a stark contrast between Jesus’ ministry to the Samaritans and the neighboring Galileans. Through the study of John 4, we see that no matter the ministry method, God ultimately desires for all to come to belief in His son Jesus.

Jesus’ first miracle recorded in scripture was turning water into wine at a wedding. Though this may, at face value, appear to merely be addressing a social need, closer study reveals a signal of the new covenant that will come through the shed blood of Jesus.

We take a look at Paul's persecutions and afflictions, and what the difference is between them. We see how afflictions can grow us and how persecutions are designed to break us.

The suffering Servant, our Lord Jesus Christ, was not contained in death or burial, but resurrected. The manifold eye witness accounts, along with His commission to preach the gospel to every creature, was the history-making catalyst to bring hope to a death-sentenced world.

In our ongoing series surrounding the relationship of Paul and Timothy, we take a deeper dive into Longsuffering and Patience (and the difference between them). We also see charity as a key characteristic in ministry.

Paul tells Timothy that he has fully known Paul and mentions specific areas. In this series we look at each of these areas where Timothy FULLY knows Paul. Today, we look at Paul's purpose and faith.

As Israel observed the Passover feast, Jesus was betrayed, abandoned, arrested and declared guilty of blasphemy. Despite all the adversity, Jesus remains strong in the Spirit and continues to walk toward the cross.

As we explore Paul and Timothy's relationship, we see that Paul addresses how/what he taught (doctrine) and his manner of living, as key components of an intimate ministry relationship.

Jesus warns His disciples of future tribulations and equips them to overcome through discernment and remaining watchful.

Once again, Jesus silences the religious rulers who are relentless on trying to catch Him in his words. Through the dialogue, we learn a great deal about God’s desire to see fruit for His Son’s inheritance.

We start a new series looking at Paul and Timothy's deep relationship. We see how their history and experiences created a partnership for longstanding ministry and dealing with challenges to the Christian life.

We see how the priests were prepared for the ministry and how once the Tabernacle work was completed, the glory of the Lord showed up. This is parallelled to the NT believer and the finished work of the cross.

 As Jesus enters Jerusalem and cleanses the temple, he demonstrates His righteous authority in word and deed. 

As Jesus and the disciples make their way to Jerusalem, the Lord continues to engage various people and show us that the ways of the Lord are different from the ways of man.

We look at the garments and their accessories, which were used in the service of the tabernacle. We look at the expectations of the wearer and how it echoes to our service as New Testament believers.

We look at the Ark of the Covenant and its covering, the Mercy Seat. We see how the Lord uses this to dwell with his people.

As Jesus continues His ministry around Galilee, He reveals to His disciples His future glory and the coming judgments.

We look at the significance of the altar of incense. We see how unique the altar is from the rest of the furniture of the Tabernacle. We also see how it pictures a pure prayer life before the Lord.

The Father reveals the identity of Jesus to the disciples – the anointed Messiah. It is during this pivotal time of ministry and teaching that they learn about Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection, along with their own cross to bear if they were to continue as His disciples.
