    Why Was Jesus Born Into A Family That Was Poor?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 5, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 15,941 views

    Luke's gospel tells us that Mary and Joseph offered the poor person's sacrifice when taking Jesus to the Temple. Why would God have chosen for His Son to be born into a poor family?

    TWO YOUNG PIGEONS: Jesus’ family gave the poor offering. - Luke 2:24. - Leviticus 12:8. - Unless you know the Old Testament background, the mention of dove/pigeon offering is one that we would pass right over. We have no frame of reference on what it means. - When we look back in Leviticus, ...read more

    Jesus doesn’t abandon us during grief experiences. In fact, He promises to be with us. We consider three important promises He makes to us during such times.

    Intro: In times of loss and deep grief, our Lord may seem "far away"...but today we can trust in His presence. He also gives us three precious promises to consider today as we mourn the loss of our departed loved one: I. He promises to HEAR us 1. Many well meaning statements have been ...read more

    The Spiritual Saga Of Ishmael And Isaac

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Mar 21, 2001
    based on 109 ratings
     | 9,112 views

    Paul uses the story of Ishmael and Isaac and their mothers to demonstrate that the Galatian believers were in danger of abandoning the Gospel of grace in Jesus, with fascinating contrasts historically and allegorically, ever relevant for today.

    THE SPIRITUAL SAGA OF ISHMAEL AND ISAAC The most casual reader of the Bible will notice that the Scriptures consist of 2 sections - the Old and New Testaments. But have you ever thought how are they related to each other? Someone made the interesting comment about the 2 Testaments that ...read more

    Come Before Winter Series

    Is it winter in your life? Do you feel abandoned and without hope? Let the last words of the Apostle Paul encourage you as he prepared to cast off for the next shore.

    Quite a number of years ago now I saw what was one of the most impacting presentations of my entire life. An actor – Phil Nash – performed a dramatic reading of 2nd Timothy called “Come Before Winter.” It was just him – in costume, alone on the stage with a few props, reciting the book as Paul the ...read more

     | 4,226 views

    Today, let us celebrate the unity that we share in Christ. Let us abandon pretend unity in favor of living out life together in Christ in genuine Christian community.

    Life Together, Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 Introduction In this life, I’ve found that people are a lot like bouncy balls. We spend all of our years bouncing through this life. We are born and bounce our way into our parent’s arms. Then as toddlers we bounce around playrooms and playgrounds, we bounce ...read more

     | 3,049 views

    In order to feel fully at home in the church, we begin with praying for one another, we learn both to receive and to give to one another, and we abandon top-down thinking.

    Isn’t it astounding, the power of the group? Isn’t it amazing that an otherwise normal, there, healthy, together person can be in a group and feel so wrong? Have you ever been in a group that was sending out such negative vibes that you just wanted to get out of there? Somehow you even felt ashamed ...read more

    I Am Not Ashamed Of The Gospel

    based on 5 ratings
     | 14,002 views

    We live in a time of confusion and change, where some Christians are abandoning sound doctrine and adopting the views of our culture. Christians should be unwavering in their devotion to the Bible, God's Word!

    I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL Rom. 1:16; 1 Cor. 1:18-25 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: SANCTIFIED TONGUE? 1. A lady wanted to get baptized, so she asked her new preacher how they do it. 2. "We take you into the baptistery pool and immerse you completely for a few seconds." 3. "I'm sorry, pastor, but ...read more

    Follow The Way And The Truth

     | 1,774 views

    We live in troubled times, and too many are afraid, disillusioned, depressed, and generally overwhelmed by current events. It seems like the number who have abandoned the Way, and the Truth is growing.

    We live in troubled times, and too many are afraid, disillusioned, depressed, and generally overwhelmed by what they are seeing and hearing. Our eyes look upon the unimaginable and our ears the receptacle for vile obscenities. You know the people who do these things. You have seen their deeds or ...read more

     | 1,822 views

    Many today, seeing Western culture disintegrate as it abandons Christian living and teaching, tell us that serious Christians need to flee the cities and establish new Christian communities of virtue.

    Tuesday of the 33rd Week in Course 2019 Saints Severinus, Exuperius, & Felician The sources tell us that Marcus Aurelius “was Roman emperor from [AD] 161 to 180 and a Stoic philosopher.

    Walk In Righteousness

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 3, 2025
     | 442 views

    We live in the midst of a rapidly changing culture, one that has no desire for that which is righteous and holy. The church is being pressured to abandon the truths of Scripture in order to conform to the dictates of the culture.

    Walk in Righteousness Ephesians 5: 3-7 In our last study, Paul admonished believers to follow the Lord, literally being imitators of God. In order to accomplish such an enormous task, we must walk in the love of Christ the Lord. Those who are purposefully following the Lord and walking in the love ...read more

    In this message we find the keys to Paul’s triumphant attitude despite all the hardships including abandonment of friends. I offer six suggestions of how to move past our disappointments.

    Our text for this day speaks to us of being different. It calls us to be God’s People in this present world! It calls us to stick out, to make a statement, to live with reckless abandon.

    When God decided that we would be the Bride of Christ it was not because we came spotless and pristine. No Ezekiel says that when God found us we were abandon in a field and abhorred.

    Longing For The Groom Ezekiel 16: 4-7 One of my favorite parts of being a minister is the ability to participate in weddings. I have participated in weddings in churches, chapels, beaches, backyards, and living rooms, weddings that cost thousand’s of dollars and weddings that cost $100.00. And ...read more

    Death To Sin Through Christ

     | 2,833 views

    Believing it possible that through Christ we may live in the required manner, that we may avoid sin--desist from sinning--give it up and abandon it altogether, and put it forever away.

    Death to sin through Christ Romans 6: 10-23 Pastor Wayne Tindale 10/18/2006 The connection of this passage will help us to understand its meaning. Near the close of the previous chapter Paul had said," The law entered that the offence might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did much more ...read more

    Marriage And The Church

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 11, 2015
     | 3,718 views

    The traditional vows between a man and a woman at the time of marriage are beautiful and full of self abandonment and commitment. We who are in the Church, are there because of a mutual commitment between Christ and ourselves, like marriage.

    Marriage - what a wonderful creation of God! Just yesterday Pastor Karenlee and I were privileged to perform a marriage ceremony for two of our friends who live in Rochester! May the Lord bless their union and their lives. Jesus Himself believed in marriage. Listen to what He told the Pharisees ...read more
