Today we continue to follow the life of Christ, so we can build a foundation of unwavering faith, we are going to look at John 3. This is where John the Baptist effectively conquered jealousy among his own followers. What can you do to combat this terrible, subtle enemy? What can you do to conquer jealous comparisons before they conquer you?

- Sep 10, 2023The Cost of Worship
Sep 10, 2023The Cost of WorshipBy: Donny GoffSeries: Past Sermons
Last week we looked at Jesus’ first recorded miracle. As we continue following Jesus through His earthly life we are going to see how Jesus interacts with people. How Jesus talks to the spiritually lost. How Jesus talks to the spiritually arrogant. How Jesus interacts with creation, and how Jesus responds to the crowds. Throughout His earthly life, we need to remember that Jesus was a Jew. Which meant He would follow the Jewish laws and rituals. Jesus would have went to the Synagogues, and the Temple. Jesus observed all the Jewish festivals, including the Passover. Today we are going to see the first recorded Passover of Jesus’ ministry. Join us as we see The Cost of Worship.#stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith
- Sep 3, 2023Water To Wine: A Taste Of What Is To Come
Sep 3, 2023Water To Wine: A Taste Of What Is To ComeBy: Donny GoffSeries: Past SermonsFor those who choose to live according to Jesus, according to the foundation of His word, they will be built up as Holy priests, the living temple of God. Those who reject Jesus, their lives will stumble and fall. They will find the fate of full separation from God. This is why we want to make sure we are following the example of Jesus, obeying His word. Today we are going to the glory of God revealed and how those who witnessed were changed. Join us for Water to Wine: a taste of what is to come.stjoecofc, Bible, truth, gospel, Christ, God, Jesus, Foundation 2023, an unwavering faith
- Aug 27, 2023Calling of the Disciples: Peter
Aug 27, 2023Calling of the Disciples: PeterBy: Donny GoffSeries: Past SermonsWe have looked at most of the disciples so far. Today we come to probably one of the most well known disciple, Peter. We know more about the life of Peter than any other disciple which means we can trace his growth as a disciple. His journey of faith. That is what discipleship is as well. A journey. Join us as meet Peter and see what we need to do ask we walk the discipleship journey. #stjoecoc #comeandsee #Foundation2023 #anunwaveringfaith
- 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
