Overcoming the World

Mt Pleasant Baptist Church

Overcoming the World

April 9, 2023 • D. Kevin Brown • John 15:18–25

When Jesus rose from the dead, He proved He was who He said He was and where He was from. He proved He was the Son of God and He was from Heaven. The resurrection proved His claims and provides absolute assurance for all believers in Jesus that we can overcome death and the grave. Join us as we see how and why Jesus describes us as overcomers of this world and the hate of this world.

Words of Warning and Hope

April 23, 2023 • Matthew McNeil

"I've got good news and bad news." How many times have we heard that from someone trying to soften the blow of something tough? Jesus had waited until this moment to announce His imminent departure and the persecution to follow because He knew how it would hit the disciples, but here's the thing. HE'S GOD, and interwoven into anything He tells us, good or bad, there is always truth and hope! I'm glad you've joined us today as we're encouraged, and I mean that, encouraged by Jesus' "Words of Warning and Hope."

Telling Others about Jesus

April 16, 2023 • Tim Miller • John 15:26–27

When is the last time you told someone about Jesus? If we’re honest, we all have fears about sharing Jesus with others. The good news is that Jesus knows our fears, and He has provided a Helper for us. The Holy Spirit is in us is to help us tell others about Jesus with the boldness that comes from His divine power. Join us as we seek the help of the Holy Spirit to make us bolder and stronger witnesses for Jesus.

Being a Friend of Jesus

April 2, 2023 • D. Kevin Brown • John 15:12–17

“I have called you friends.” Jesus said those words and they’re such powerful words. Think about them: “I have called you friends.” What amazing comfort! But, with those words come responsibility. Jesus said that he called us friends so that we would “go and bear much fruit" and “love one another.” Join us as we see how to: #1 Be friends of Jesus #2 How to bear fruit for Jesus and #3 To love one another like Jesus! You’ll be encouraged!
