    based on 48 ratings

    Does God recognize and reward some Christians more than others? And if he does how can I qualify?

    Introduction How many of you work at a place where people are recognized and rewarded for a job well done? Why do you think companies make a point to recognize and reward such things as perfect attendance, production goals and length of service? Is it not true that we will try harder if we are ...read more

  • Who Is The Greatest?

    Contributed by Chris Surber on Sep 26, 2002
    based on 94 ratings
     | 19,831 views

    This is a message on what it takes to be "The Greatest" in God’s Kingdom. It discusses the role of a "Servant Leader" and seeks to explore specifics about being "great" in the Kingdom of God.

    Who is the Greatest? Illustration: Muhammad Ali today is called the greatest. But it hasn’t always been that way. He became the greatest in the eyes of the world over the last 40 years. Muhammad Ali used to “float like a butterfly” and “sting like a bee”. He dazzled crowds with his amazing ...read more

    An Exposition of Mark 9:30-37

    When I Get Big, I Want to Be Little Mark 9:30-37 Children are born dreamers. You can watch them act out their dreams when they play and pretend.

    How are we children of God? What would it look like for you to act like a child of God?

    [I started out this sermon by telling a story about getting a cheesesteak at Angelo’s in King of Prussia, PA- I can’t do the story justice here] Mark 9:30-37 A Child’s Welcome Mark 9:30-37, They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were, 31 ...read more

  • The Greatest

    Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Sep 23, 2006
    based on 40 ratings
     | 19,293 views

    If we want to be the greatest disciple, greatness will not be found as the world defines it, but in servanthood and in embracing the least of God’s children.

    Sports fans will know that Muhammad Ali today is called the greatest. Ali himself used to tell everyone “I am the greatest,” but not everyone agreed, especially when he was younger. He became the greatest in the eyes of the world over the last 40 years. Muhammad Ali ...read more

  • God And Children

    Contributed by William Mouser on Sep 24, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,748 views

    In contrast to the ambition to acquire the applause and approval of men, Jesus turns his disciples toward the powerless -- toward children -- as exemplars of Himself, His Father, and the ones his disciples should seek to serve.

    Psalm 54, Wisdom 1:16 - 2:22, James 3:16-4:6, Mark 9:30-37 Apostles, Christians, and Children Sometimes, the disciples of Jesus don’t come off very well in the gospels, and today’s Gospel lesson is one of those times. Jesus tells them again, as he is doing more and more often at this point in ...read more

    A sermon about greed, materialism and the Prosperity Gospel.

  • The Hidden World Of Service

    Contributed by Michael Trask on Sep 25, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,111 views

    The contrast couldn’t be more stark. Jesus describes his ultimate act of service while the disciples argue over which of them will be the greatest! This sermon stealthily plunges the listener into this contrast; then pulls them out on the right side.

    My dear friends in Christ, I want to tell you about something that I didn’t really begin to figure out until I was about 24. Many of you figured it out long before you reached that age; some of you have not figured it out yet. But when someone finally does learn it, and it begins to sink ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,335 views

    Jesus talks about growing in stature, but he is not talking about height. He is talking about growing in servanthood.

    Growing in the Right Direction Mark 9:30-37 September 24, 2006 Depending on whom you talk to and who does the measuring, there is any number of different ways to measure a human being. If we wanted to get into an existential discussion of humanity, we would probably remember these famous maxims. ...read more

  • On The Road With Jesus

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 28, 2006
     | 2,472 views

    Jesus taught the disciples but they did not always understand! This short homily encourages listeners to ask questions; it also reminds us that God knows about everything we do; and that is both comforting and challenging.

    Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin! Of course, it is always likely that God’s word will make us uncomfortable! When we turn to God’s word, seeking the voice of God, there is always plenty to hear; and this short Bible event is packed full of God’s wisdom, and God’s call to us. Jesus ...read more

  • Hospitality Toward One Another

    Contributed by Daniel Sorensen on Oct 26, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,814 views

    Service to others as a reflection of Christ’s love, even as we ourselves become tired of service and look forward to being served and desire attention.

    When you were a child, perhaps you were part of a large family, there may have been many people who needed to use the bathroom, many mouths to feed, and never, ever, any private space. In families such as those, there are often a lot of rules. Don’t pester the adults. Do your chores, help out ...read more
