Jesus And Giving
Contributed on Nov 11, 2020
Today we will turn to examine what Jesus had to say about giving. And we will ask what giving looked like to Jesus. The passage in Luke 14:15-33 is considered one of the "Hard Sayings of Jesus". And indeed, it takes a bit of explanation to make sense of it.
Jesus and Giving Text: Luke 14:15-33 Luke 14:25-33 (NIV) 25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my ...read more

The Burial Of Jesus
Contributed on Feb 10, 2020
John 19:31-42 deals with the transition from the cross to the tomb. Two groups are involved here: the Roman soldiers, and two friendly Jewish leaders who have come to believe in Jesus as the promised Messiah.
The Burial of Jesus: John 19:31-42 Intro: Everything about the arrest, trials, beatings, death, and burial of Jesus was a continuous departure from proper protocols and basic fairness. The only reason this worked is that Jesus permitted all of it to happen to him because he willingly laid down his ...read more

God's Will For Us
Contributed on Jan 6, 2020
We often think of God's will as something that will involve doing difficult or complicated things. Our text gives us three simple things we can do to be living in God's will every day.
God’s Will for Us 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Preached at Church of God December 2019 INTRODUCTION: We all share a faith in the God who made us, and saved us, and who has a plan for each of us. Because of that we often ask ourselves how can I do God’s will? We ask, what is God’s will for my life? ...read more

Whom Are You Seeking?
Contributed on Jan 6, 2020
When the mob came to arrest Jesus, he asked them, "Whom are you seeking?" That is a question Jesus is still asking us today.
Whom are you seeking? Text. John 18:1-4 Intro: The 18th chapter of John begins a transition from the events of the Last Supper recorded in John chapters 13-17, to the events concerning Jesus’ arrest and trials before his Crucifixion. At this point Jesus’ men are confused and perplexed. Having just ...read more

Invitation To Drink Poison
Contributed on Oct 17, 2012
INVITATION TO DRINK POISON David Timms said: "Skeptics, atheists, cynics, and unbelievers often cast Christianity as a legalistic burden, a lifestyle of bondage or a crutch for the weak to lean on. Well, perhaps it's time for those same voices to look around and see the fruit of ...read more

Contributed on Oct 17, 2012
What happened to King Neb was unique --- I’ve never heard of anything quite like it --- a King eating grass for 7 years like an animal. But on the other hand, the spiritual experience it represents is more common than we’d like to think. I remember a father of one of my youth group kids years ...read more

WORSHIP IN THE THRILL AND THE AGONY The 2012 Olympics gave a great illustration of how Christians can trust God in the thrill of victory AND the agony of defeat.

Ornamentals
Contributed on May 5, 2012
ORNAMENTALS Back in 1960, my family moved from Ohio to Arizona. The first time we went to the Phoenix Airport, I was impressed by the beautiful orange trees that lined the drive. It was the first time this Ohio boy had ever seen citrus trees. The oranges were big as grapefruits. They looked ...read more

Garlands Of Heaven
Contributed on Dec 29, 2011
GARLANDS OF HEAVEN In India, whenever I preached I would get a garland made of carnations or roses or some other kind of flower. (This was done as a gesture of honor.) They smelled nice at first, but they were bulky and awkward (most of them would hang down almost to your knees), and after ...read more
