    Luke 15 follows sooner after Jesus tells the story about a great Banquet, in which the “poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind” replace the anticipated guest at a great feast.

    Separating Sheep From Goats Premium Sermon

    Contributed by PRO Premium on Nov 30, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 898 views

    This sermon explores the Parable of the Sheep and Goats in Matthew's gospel, suggesting that it represents not the "End Times" but the inauguration of the Kingdom of God through Jesus' death, resurrection, and ascension.

    Much has been written on the phrase “Son of Man,” since it is Jesus’s primary self-designation in the Synoptic Gospels — 30 times in Matthew, 14 in Mark, 25 in Luke. But it is even prominent in John — where Jesus uses other self-designations, most notably the “I am” sayings — appearing 13 times in ...read more

    Dakota Community Church August 8, 2010 Tolerance – Part 4 Tolerance has come to mean the acceptance of every viewpoint as equally true and valid. True tolerance means treating with integrity dignity and humility a person whose opinion I consider to be untrue and invalid. 1. What about the “no ...read more

    The Good shepherd calls, but who is listening? The good shepherd leads, but who is following? What about when the sheep can not agree on what the good shepherd is saying or where He is going?

    Dakota Community Church May 17, 2009 The Good Shepherd 1 John 10:11-18 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks ...read more
