     | 6,806 views

    When it comes to salvation there is no ground on which we can boast. Our only boasting is Jesus Christ, and his sacrifice on the cross.

    BOAST IN THE CROSS Gal. 6:14 Dorn Ridge May 4, 2008 Notes revised for Sermon Central May 23, 2013 INTRODUCTION: 1.) What are you most proud of? Is it your children, your sports ability, your mind? 2.) Paul turns our attention to what we should glory in above all else, The Cross of Jesus ...read more

    The M-Words: Miracle And Magic

    Contributed by Casey Campbell on Feb 23, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 3,175 views

    This is actually more of a devotional reflection that could be re-worked into a sermon. It is about how miracles are different from magic, and why that matters.

    This is day number 26 in the hospital with my eleven year old daughter who is recovering from two major/radical brain surgeries associated with her epilepsy, and, believe it or not, I’ve had a lot of time lately to think about the “m-words.” I was writing a little earlier in the ...read more

    What the cross means.

    Introduction We return to our letter this morning. Paul has been addressing the matter of divisions in the church (v. 10).

    The Truth About Truth

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,717 views

    It may take a crucified church to bring a crucified Christ before the eyes of the world. Christ’s cross makes foolish human wisdom. The cross insults our intelligence (too simple), ability (nothing to do), and ambition (not glory for self).

    Opening illustration: When Harvard University was founded, its motto was Veritas Christo et Ecclesiae —“Truth for Christ and the Church.” Its crest showed three books, one face down to symbolize the limitation of human knowledge. But in recent decades that book has been turned ...read more

    Wisdom is the God given ability to apply God's truth to our daily living in obedience. If we are truly wise we will live Godly lives

    Intro: Remember what we have learned about the Corinthians. They were arrogant and prideful. They tucked their thumbs under their suspenders and bragged about things they had no control over.

    We need to get back to the basics of our faith and talk about the way of the Cross. I saw myself with a laminated Cross in front of me. We need to pick up our cross and follow Jesus.

    The Way Of The Cross 1 Corinthians 1:18-19 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

     | 5,131 views

    God's plan of Redemption for man seems like foolishness to the lost man but makes sense to the believer.

    Intro: In our text there is a statement that should make us stop in our tracks. For the novice in Scripture or a skeptic, that statement could be misunderstood. In context it is clear. The Bible is not saying God is foolish, but that the most simple thought of God is greater than the greatest ...read more
