    Keeping Jesus at distance

    Following Jesus

    Many of us are following as Peter was afar off. Jesus commanded us to take up our cross daily and follow Him. The cross identifies us as His followers so it behooves us to follow close to our Lord, our Master, our General, our Savior. Why follow Jesus? I. Not because we have to. No compulsion. ...read more

    Encourages the audience to go ALL THE WAY across Jordan - like Elisha, while all of the other prophets were content to view Elijah’s end from afar.

    1 When the LORD was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. 2 Elijah said to Elisha, "Stay here; the LORD has sent me to Bethel." But Elisha said, "As surely as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you." So they went down to ...read more

    It is impossible to love from afar. Christians are called to share their blessings and get "down and dirty" in their sharing of the gospel and their service of others.

    Much of the content of this sermon was taken from a sample sermon by Rick Rusaw, author of "Living a Life on Loan" Standared Publishing Luke 10:27-37, Matthew 25:14-30 “Reassign Your Resources” INTRODUCTION We are people who have been created, loved, forgiven and called by God.

    From the story of the Wise men that traveled afar, we today can learn key principles to how we should respond to the birth and life of Christ.

    Wise Men from Everywhere Matthew 2:11 Intro Wise men from the East, came to worship the Christ child. How far had they traveled? How had these men seen the star in the East?

    Jesus Defends The Wrong

    Contributed by Matthew Morine on May 25, 2007
    based on 6 ratings
     | 2,719 views

    Christians run through society judging sin. But instead of judging the failing morality of the world, Christains should love people through sin. It is easy to judge from afar; it is courageous to love up close.

    Jesus Defends the Wrong Theme: Jesus protects the sinner from the self-righteous. Text: John 8:1-11 Lucy is a pretty fourteen year old girl. Maybe that was half of the problem; she was too attractive too early in life. She started dating Mark at the beginning of the school year, Mark was a ...read more

    The horrifying scenes of the chaotic events at the US Capitol. These disturbing scenes are reminiscent of the heart-breaking words of the prophet Isaiah “Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands afar off; … truth is fallen in the street, …” (Isaiah 59:14).

    I wish to give credit to Dr. S. M Lockridge for the rhetorical and literary devices as well as some basic ideas and content that I employ in this message.

    The shield and buckler are weapons that protect one from the attacks of the enemy. The adversary may attack us from afar or from close at hand. Whatever be the case, God’s children must realize that God’s protection is available to us nonetheless.
