    Practicing What We Preach

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 25, 2000
    based on 140 ratings
     | 7,498 views

    The charge of hypocrisy, of not being sincere and genuine, of not practicing what we preach, is a charge that continues to plague the church

    Once there was a pair of identical twin brothers; one was a pastor, and the other was a physician. It was almost impossible to tell the two men apart. A woman approached one of them on the street and asked, "Are you the one who preaches?" "No," came the answer, "I'm the one who practices." ...read more

    What is God’s ideal for pastoral ministry? He gives us more than an indication in 1 Corinthians 9.

    Tent Making, or More? October 13, 2001 Over the past decade or so, a lot of discussion about ministry has been about whether or not ministers should be tent makers or fully supported. As we are aware, in many denominations, including our own, financial conditions seem to encourage the support of ...read more

    The purpose of this sermon is to demonstrate that Paul intended 1 Corinthians 9 as a personal example of the point that he made in chapter 8. That point being that Christians are to give up their rights for the cause of others and to demonstrate love.

    1 Corinthians An Example of Love 1 Corinthians 9:1-18 March 23, 2003 Intro: A. [If Sermon Offends Thee] A preacher came to the breakfast table with a cut on his cheek.

    Paul tells how he gave up his right of material support for the sake of the gospel.

    In chapter 8 Paul told the Corinthians that they should not to eat in the pagan temples. (That was a common practice in Corinth. Eating in a temple was sort of like going to a restaurant today.)

    Willing To Sacrifice Series

    This message brings an interesting question regarding what is ours and what we are willing to sacrifice. It seems that the level of commitment and outreach for Christ is related to what we perceive as our rights against what we sacrifice as God.

    WILLING TO SACRIFICE 1 CORINTHIANS9:1-15 INTRODUCTION: In this chapter, Paul makes some statements concerning his apostleship. He takes the time to describe his rights as an apostle and minister, and also his sacrifice as that same apostle and minister. In essence, Paul embraces his rights, and ...read more

    What a heart this man, Paul, had for the cause of Christ. He would give up whatever he could so that others could know Jesus and be saved!

    In chapter 9, we explore having the Lord as your avocation – finding the best fit for you, fitting in with others, and becoming fit to excel in His service.

    Do you have an avocation? I don’t mean a hobby you play at – or a job you work at – but something that really interests you – something you’ll spend hours and hours working on, even when you don’t have to? For some people its fishing – they not only have specific flies to catch specific fish in ...read more

    Freedom isn’t everything. Make sure the freedom we hang onto includes the freedom to win others for hrist ansd the freedom to love other Christians even above ourselves.

    A Small Confession... I have something to confess to you today. Something that may forever change the way you look at me. Something that may lower me in your esteem.

    What Good Are You? Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,618 views

    Sometimes we feel like God has to completely change us in order to use us. Paul shows us that God takes the background, weaknesses, and even difficulties and uses them for His kingdom, if we let Him.

    Who are you as a person? Who are you as a Christian? Do those two questions get two different responses from you? I think often times we think that when we come to Christ, Jesus basically considers us to be a blank slate that needs to be redrawn into the character of Jesus and that everything about ...read more
