Why Do You Eat And Drink With Tax Collectors And "Sinners"?

The religious leaders of Jesus' day were confused, curious and a bit critical of Him. He and his disciples did not live according to all of their rules and regulations. Jesus and his followers even sat down for meals with tax collectors and other so-called "sinners." When Jesus calls Levi to be his disciple, Levi hosts a banquet so that all of His friends can meet Jesus. In another town, Jesus invites Himself to be the dinner guest at Zacchaeus' house. We can learn much from these two events recorded in Luke 5:27-32 and Luke 19:1-10. In this message, Pastor Derek and Kurt Nichol discuss what the Bible teaches about being a witness for Christ every day, everywhere you go, on the job, in your community, in your home, and more. They discuss the principles of Scripture and give practical ideas to live out your faith everywhere you go. Pastor Derek shares six evangelism styles, and asks, "Which one best describes you?" Kurt gives his story of how God has burned these truths deep in his heart.

Don't You Care That We're Going To Die?

When Jesus and his disciples faced a life-threatening storm while traveling across the Sea of Galilee, his disciples found Him sleeping on a cushion! They woke Him up and pleaded with Him, "Don't You Care That We're Going To Die?" What Jesus did next was amazing. His words and actions demonstrated that He was not just a good teacher, but the only one who could save them on that day. What about the storms of life that you go through - do you think that Jesus cares about you? Mark 4:35-41 is the text for this sermon.
