    He Shall Feed His Flock

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 2, 2009
     | 7,203 views

    Enacted pulpit drama, with props and symbolic actions, as if the preacher were Ezekiel. Immorality and inattention will be judged by God, and until we repent of these we will not flourish.

    [Heaving silently, face contorted, head shaking] Immorality and inattention. Immorality and inattention. These things are destroying our people. These things are going to bring God’s judgment on us. I just know it. Immorality and inattention. Selfishness and self-centeredness. Wrong hearts and ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 1, 2013
     | 2,542 views

    It is not an act of love to tell those who are committing grave sin that their actions are OK. We must respect human dignity like the Ugandan martyrs.

    Monday of 9th Week in Course 2013 Gaudium et Spes The setting of the Book of Tobit, one of the inspired books of Scripture that came to us only in Greek, is of an exiled family in a land with an oppressive government, one that enforced laws prohibiting certain practices of the Jewish faith.

    INTRO.- ILL.- A father of four boys came home to find them all engaged in something of a free-for-all.

    Let the future reality of heaven determines the character and conduct of our present life. Our choices and actions in this life have a bearing on the world to come.

    RECAP – Deut 1:26-36 • We saw in Moses’ personal experience as well as the Israelites encounter with God in the wilderness, that UNBELIEF angers God. • It is not for a lack of EVIDENCES or ASSURANCES from God. God has spoken and God has performed, but the people chose to ...read more

    The Good, The Bad, & The Snuggly

    Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Nov 1, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,981 views

    Jesus points to our salvation by the Father's grace alone, not by our works--first through a parable, and then in action as He welcomes children (even infants).

    The Word of God that engages us today is our Gospel reading from Luke 18. And in our Gospel reading, Jesus challenges the presuppositions of those around Him. Our Gospel reading is really broken down into two sections—and quite often you’ll get a sermon on one or the other, as if ...read more

    The Baptism Of The Holy Spirit

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,684 views

    We are baptized for action. We are baptized to go out into the world and be the hands, voice and presence of Christ. We are baptized for the sake of others and for the sake of the world.

    If the reading we heard from Mark’s Gospel a few minutes ago sounds familiar, it’s because we heard part of the same reading a few weeks ago on the Second Sunday of Advent. On that Sunday, we heard John the Baptist talk about the coming of Jesus and the baptism that he would provide-the ...read more

     | 8,797 views

    Our words, actions and lives are to glorify God. In other words, we are to reflect Christ for others to see. The problem is trying to reflect the light of Christ.

    Glory Road John 12:20-26 Steve May tells the story of Dennis Byrd, who was an up-and-coming defensive tackle for the New York Jets. He was predicted to help turn the Jets organization around and recorded 27 sacks in his first 3 years. Then tragedy struck. On November 29, 1992, the Jets were playing ...read more

     | 6,171 views

    Few learn the lesson that hurt people hurt people, so we react to their actions instead of acting in love. BE KIND TO THE UNKIND and break the cycle.

    Is Free Will Really Free?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jul 23, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,805 views

    The subject of Free Will cannot be simply defined. However, it can be described as the ability of a person to determine within themselves the choices they make and the course of action they take.

    Nowhere in the Bible is there any specific mention of 'Free Will,' the divine will of God, or human free will because it never discusses philosophical subjects of any kind. It is apparent in the Bible that God is regarded as acting freely, and that humans are recognized as free agents to do ...read more

    Faith is simply trusting God enough to do what He says. Faith guides our actions and we leave the results up to God.

    "Tell me a Story” is a simple and shorter way to reference Jesus' use of parables. A parable is a relatable way to share a moral or spiritual lesson. While some don’t like parables because they don’t get right to the point. Others love a good story because it forces us to think and ...read more
