    Blessed Are The Poor In Spirit Series

    Contributed by Scott Carmer on May 9, 2005
    based on 16 ratings
     | 4,859 views

    Those who are poor in spirit are those who have learned that trusting God is the only things that gives them life, and are the ones who are truly blessed.

    Blessed are the Poor in Spirit Matthew 5:1-11 May 1, 2005 Sometimes, there are some interesting typos in new editions of the Bible. One edition of the Holy Book translated a verse from Exodus 20 as “Thou shall commit adultery.” John 8:11 was rendered “Go and sin on more.” I know that most ...read more

    The Center That Holds

    Contributed by Scott Carmer on Apr 24, 2005
    based on 6 ratings
     | 2,292 views

    We don’t follow God for a promise of easy life, but simply because God is TRUTH and nothing in life or death can separate us from God’s love.

    The Center that Holds Luke 5:17-26 April 24, 2005 I always try my best to preach out of my own experience, but as I approached today’s sermon, I realized that I was having trouble doing that. I can preach easily about a lot of stuff because I have experience. For example: I sometimes struggle ...read more

    based on 27 ratings
     | 12,849 views

    In the Scripture lesson, Jesus tells the people not to worry about tomorrow. Seek God’s kingdom first, he says, and all the other stuff will take care of itself.

    One Day at a Time Matthew 6:25-34 April 17, 2005 I don’t know if you know anything about the Jesus Seminar or not. We actually haven’t heard from them for several years now. I’m not sure that they are meeting any more or not. The Jesus Seminar was a group of biblical scholars who met over a ...read more

    Contributed by Scott Carmer on Apr 12, 2005
    based on 10 ratings
     | 2,305 views

    Integrity is not what we do. Integrity is who we are.

    It’s About Integrity Matthew 27:11-26 April 10, 2005 You are going to think that I made this up, but I promise you that this is a true story. A few years ago, I got a phone call from the father of a fourteen year old boy. He was the father of one of my son’s friends and thought that I should ...read more

    God Believes In Resurrection

    Contributed by Scott Carmer on Apr 6, 2005
    based on 15 ratings
     | 1,651 views

    The stress points in life are an invitation to climb into the arms of a loving God. There is no power on earth that can compete with resurrection power.

    God Believes in Resurrection Psalm 46 April 3, 2005 When our kids were young, one of their favorite books was titled, “Alexander and the Terrrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.” It seems as though Alexander had one of those days when nothing went right. It all started as soon as he woke up ...read more

    And God Laughed

    Contributed by Scott Carmer on Mar 28, 2005
    based on 40 ratings
     | 5,427 views

    It is Easter and the resurrection is the laughter of the universe at our inability to understand and at Evil’s inability to read the end of the book.

    And God Laughed John 20:1-18 March 27, 2005 I don’t watch a whole lot of television, but I do like cop shows: Law and Order, CSI - Crime Scene Investigations, I realize that those are pretty much guy shows, but that’s who I am. These crime shows are all about evidence: finger prints, hair ...read more

    Life-Giving Death

    Contributed by Scott Carmer on Mar 28, 2005
    based on 17 ratings
     | 5,239 views

    On Maundy Thursday, we remember that Jesus gave up his life to death, but it was a death that causes us to live.

    Life-Giving Death John 12:20-33 March 24, 2005 My wife has a friend whose name is Alex. Alex is 10 years old. She first met him when he was eight and began to attend her church with his parents and grandparents. One day, Alex told his mom and dad that he wanted to be baptized. So they came to ...read more

    Dry Bones And Singing Stones

    based on 15 ratings
     | 6,629 views

    The truth of the day is that Ezekiel’s bones will live and the rocks will sing because there is nothing at all anyone can do to prevent the Word of God from being spoken.

    Dry Bones and Singing Stones Ezekiel 37:1-14 Luke 19:29-40 Palm Sunday March 20, 2005 Jeb was one of the leading citizens of Ottumwa, Iowa. He was the kind of guy that you could count on, no matter what. He was a deacon in his church. Every time the doors were open, he was there. He had served ...read more

    Funny Things Happen On The Way To The Promised Land Series

    Contributed by Scott Carmer on Mar 14, 2005
    based on 44 ratings
     | 16,619 views

    There is more to gluttony than eating too much. It is a statement to God that you don’t trust God to take care of the future. You have to get all you can today because you aren’t sure of tomorrow.

    Funny Things Happen on the Way to the Promised Land Exodus 16:1-5 March 13, 2005 It was the late Bronze Age, about 1,500 years or so before Jesus, and the people of Israel were coming to the end of 400 years of slavery in Egypt. Their ancestors had come to Egypt during a severe drought and ...read more

    Lust At First Sight Series

    Contributed by Scott Carmer on Mar 7, 2005
    based on 15 ratings
     | 6,597 views

    Lust is more than sex. It is about power. It is about the overwhelming desire for power. Sex was not the main issue in David’s sin with Bathsheba. It was the lust for power and control.

    Lust at First Sight II Samuel 11:2-5 March 6, 2005 This fellow had a dream in which he was transported to heaven. In his vision, St. Peter was showing him around the place when the guy noticed that there were clocks everywhere. Everywhere he went there were clocks…thousands of them, hundreds of ...read more

    You Really Can't Take It With You Series

    Contributed by Scott Carmer on Feb 28, 2005
    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,066 views

    Avarise, or greed, is different than coveteousness. Covetousness is a desire for things we don’t have. Avarice is a hoarding of things we have but don’t need.

    You Really Can¡¦t Take It With You Luke 12:15-21 February 27, 2005 We are in the midst of our sermon series on the seven deadly sins, and have come to avarice. It is something that we have to consider. Avarice is a word that we don¡¦t use all that often, but it means a passion for acquiring and ...read more

    Are You A Lazybones? Series

    Contributed by Scott Carmer on Feb 21, 2005
    based on 11 ratings
     | 5,547 views

    There is a big difference between taking a Sabbath and being lazy. Lazyness separates us from our own potential, from the love of others, and from the grace of God.

    Are You a Lazybones? Proverbs 6:6-11 February 20, 2005 Twenty three years ago, I was one of seventeen men and women who stood before the Annual Conference and was ordained into the United Methodist ministry.

    Don't Let Anger Rattle Around In Your Soul Series

    Contributed by Scott Carmer on Feb 14, 2005
    based on 36 ratings
     | 5,047 views

    There is a difference between the righteous anger Jesus felt at times and the piddling little things that make us angry. Anger can be an impediment which stands in the way of our enjoyment of God.

    Don’t Let Anger Rattle Around in Your Soul James 1:19-21 February 13, 2005 One of the things that I regret about the way I reared my children is that I think I raised my voice too often. As I reflect back, I understand now that on those occasions when I had reached the limit of my patience with ...read more

    Contributed by Scott Carmer on Feb 9, 2005
    based on 16 ratings
     | 5,585 views

    Envy is an emotion that refuses to recognize the goodness of God. Envy is telling God that God could have done a better job with us.

    Envy is Not Pretty I Samuel 18:6-9 February 9, 2005 Ash Wednesday I love music. All kinds of music.

     | 5,411 views

    Sin is real. So is salvation. But we can’t really understand the joy of salvation until we understand the depths of sin from which we have been saved.

    We Have a Problem Called Pride Luke 18:10-13 February 6, 2005 In 1994, I was the Annual Conference Secretary of Global Ministries. It was in that capacity that I joined a survey team to Louisiana in the wake of Hurricane Andrew. Three of us went down to determine how best our Annual Conference ...read more
