- Aug 24, 2023Calling of the Disciples: Philip
Aug 24, 2023Calling of the Disciples: PhilipBy: Donny GoffSeries: Past SermonsWe all know that sharing the Gospel and telling others about Jesus is an essential part of being a disciple of Jesus. After His resurrection Jesus commanded all disciples to do this in Matthew 28. The disciples weren’t to keep the message to themselves, they had to pass it on. Just before His ascension Jesus was even more specific in directing His disciples. To the ends of the earth… The ends of the earth still need to hear the Gospel so this directive is just as much a part of our walk with Jesus today as it was back then. But knowing what we should do and actually doing it, can be two separate events can’t it. Join us as we meet Philip, who was called to go to the ends of the earth. #stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith
- Jul 16, 2023Calling of the Disciples: James and John
Jul 16, 2023Calling of the Disciples: James and JohnBy: Donny GoffSeries: Past SermonsThis year our theme is Foundation, having an unwavering faith. We are taking an in depth look at the life of Jesus. Right now, we are looking at the group of men called the disciples. 12 men that Jesus chose to bring the message of hope and salvation. We have looked at a few of the not so known disciples. Nathanael, and James the lesser. We looked at Andrew and last week we looked at Judas the betrayer. Today we are going to look at two disciples, brothers, James and John. Looking at this list we can have mixed thoughts. On one hand, they are the disciples, they walked with Jesus. They were handpicked by Jesus. And yet on the other hand, they are just normal men who are flawed. Join us as we meet James and John.#stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith
- Jul 2, 2023Calling of the Disciples: Judas Iscariot
Jul 2, 2023Calling of the Disciples: Judas IscariotBy: Donny GoffSeries: Past SermonsDo know a person called Judas? Judas is an uncommon name! I don’t think many of us would be surprised by that fact. What parent would want their child to be connected to such a character? Judas. The very mention of his name conjures all sorts of stereotypes. He’s shifty and untrustworthy. He’s calculating and double-minded. He’s the shadowy fringe member of the group. That’s the picture which comes to our mind when we think about Judas. Where does that come from? Join us as meet Judas Iscariot, a Disciple of Jesus Christ.#stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith

Jun 25, 2023Calling The Disciples : James the son of AlphaeusBy: Donny GoffSeries: Past SermonsThere are lots of people throughout history who have done great things. And yet through the years, their deeds and their names get forgotten. How many of you have heard of Charles Deslondes, Deborah Sampson or Sybil Luddington? These are three people who made a significant impact on our country, and yet we do not recognize their names. The same can be said about our next disciple of Jesus Christ. Join us as we get to know James, Son of Alphaeus. #stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith
- Jun 25, 2023Jesus and The Nameless Father
Jun 25, 2023Jesus and The Nameless FatherBy: Donny GoffSeries: Past SermonsOn Mother’s Day we looked at the nameless mother found in Matthew 15:21-28. Through her actions and faith in Jesus we saw some great lessons. Today is Father’s Day. Many people have said that on Mother’s Day we hear messages about how to honor and love a mother. On Father’s Day we hear messages about how a father needs to stand up and be better. Looking back over my sermons, that is the general theme. Instead of following that basic routine, I want to look at the nameless father found in Mark 9 and see some lessons this father did right, and that all of us can do as well.
- Jun 11, 2023Calling of the Disciples: Nathanael
Jun 11, 2023Calling of the Disciples: NathanaelBy: Donny GoffSeries: Past SermonsHave you ever noticed that some of the greatest things come from the strangest of places? Maybe you have heard of the Dead Sea Scrolls. They are a large collection of manuscripts … many of them being copies of Old Testament books … which date back to the first century. Where were they found? Well, in the mid 1930’s a shepherd boy was looking for lost sheep in a valley near the Dead Sea. The valley wall had many caves, and the boy was throwing rocks into the caves to scare out any hiding sheep. When he threw a stone into a certain cave, he heard a pot smash. On investigation he found hundreds of sealed pots with manuscripts well preserved inside. They became known as the Dead Sea Scrolls. It was a great thing that came from a strange place. As we continue looking at the disciples, and seeing what we can learn from their lives; we come to Nathanael. Nathanael is not a well-known disciple. Join us as we find this disciple in a strange place, yet exactly where Jesus knew he would be.#stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith
- Jun 4, 2023Calling of the Disciples: Andrew
Jun 4, 2023Calling of the Disciples: AndrewBy: Donny GoffSeries: Past SermonsToday we are starting a new series Calling Of The Disciples. Over the next several weeks, we are going to look at these men, how Jesus called them to be disciples, and what we can learn for our own lives through their examples. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves of the basics. That is what we are going to see today. We are going to be reminded of the spiritual matters which need to regain our priorities, and the disciple who is going to show us that is Andrew. Join us as we meet Andrew, a disciple of Jesus Christ. #stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith
- May 21, 2023Jesus and The Nameless Mother
May 21, 2023Jesus and The Nameless MotherBy: Donny GoffSeries: Past SermonsHappy Mother’s Day. I am so grateful for all the mothers that have impacted my life. There are many lessons that we learn from mothers. We learn a great deal from mothers. Here are a few examples from scripture. Biblical Examples of Godly mothers. Eve - literally means the mother of all. Sarah - The elderly mother who laughed at the notion of having children. She gave birth to Isaac. Hannah - Mother who prayed for God to give her a child. She gave birth to Samuel. Mary - The mother of Jesus. Today as we continue our theme of foundation, having an unwavering faith, we are going to look at the nameless mother. Her encounter with Jesus is found in Matthew 15:21-28. #stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith
- May 14, 2023The Temptation
May 14, 2023The TemptationBy: Donny GoffSeries: Past SermonsThis year we are focusing on the life of Jesus. Looking at everything we can so we can build our faith in Him. We started with the Old Testament. Seeing how Jesus was not just prophesized about but was also present. Then we moved into the New Testament. Primarily we will spend the rest of the year in the Gospels. Last time I spoke, we looked at the baptism of Jesus. The event of Jesus’ baptism is recorded in all four gospels showing us its importance. He was baptized to identify Himself with mankind. And to give us the example that we must follow to fulfill all righteousness. Right after Jesus was baptized, He goes into the wilderness to be Tempted. Join us for The Temptation.#stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith
