  • A Year And A Day.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 5, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,447 views

    The acceptable year of the LORD and the day of vengeance.

    A YEAR AND A DAY. (1) The Acceptable Year of the Lord (Luke 4:16-21). This is thought to be earliest record which we have of a synagogue service. Perhaps Isaiah 61:1-2 was the reading of the day, but Jesus deliberately chose where to end the reading. Luke 4:18-19 stops short of ‘the ...read more

  • Everything She Had: A Life That Matters Series

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Nov 6, 2021
     | 2,659 views

    The first attribute of a life that matters that we will examine in this series of sermons this month is generosity. Generosity, as reflected in our gospel text this week, is about how we hold the stuff of this life lightly, even as we hold people and Christ tightly.

    A well-known hymn that captures this idea of generosity is “Take My Life, and Let It Be,” 399 in The United Methodist Hymnal. The middle verse often catches us singing with our fingers crossed: “Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold.” In this text of the widow’s mite, we need to ...read more

    Leaving all to follow Jesus.

    ABRAM STEPS OUT IN FAITH. Genesis 12:1-4. Our story begins in Ur of the Chaldees, in what is now Southern Iraq, a predominantly pagan city of about 250,000 people, with a central temple to the moon god Sin. Here Abram’s father Terah was thought to have been a craftsman within the moon cult. At a ...read more

    The unchangeable Father of lights brought us forth by the Word of truth.

    BORN AGAIN BY THE WORD OF TRUTH. James 1:17-21. James has already indicated that our God is a generous Giver (James 1:5). Here he cites God as the inexhaustible source of “every good act of giving, and every perfect gift” (James 1:17a). There is not so much as a shadow cast as a result of any ...read more

  • Jesus' Answer To The Question Of Divorce

    Contributed by H.b. Charles Jr. on Apr 16, 2013
    based on 10 ratings
     | 19,694 views

    "Jesus' Answer to the Question of Divorce" is an exposition of Matthew 19:3-10, where Jesus responds to questions about divorce and remarriage. It explains the Lord Jesus' explanation of the proper grounds of divorce.

    Matthew 19:3 states the occasion of the text: And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one’s wife for any cause?” The Pharisees were the moral examples, religious leaders, and theological scholars of the day. With few exceptions, they ...read more

     | 13,226 views

    In today’s sermon I want to suggest some reasons why perfectly proper prayers may go unanswered.

    Scripture Some time ago I read a story about a young boy who was praying for a bicycle for Christmas. But his family was very poor, and when Christmas morning came there was no bicycle. A family friend, who was not very sensitive, said to the boy, “Well, I see that God did not answer your prayer ...read more

  • Keep Your Salt Levels High Series

    Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Sep 28, 2024
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,702 views

    Why Wikipedia beats printed encylcopedias. How doing the hardest thing (what's that?) can help lift our spirits when we are low. And how that fits not just with Jesus's saying about saltiness but with the rest of today's bible readings. A sermon from September 2015

    Have a taste of this [hand out teaspoon of salt to someone in the front row] “If salt loses it’s saltiness with what will you season it?” I have two things that I would like to draw out of today’s texts about ways in which we can lose our saltiness - one personal and one public. One personal - ...read more

     | 3,203 views

    There are those who may go about to convert lost souls....but not with the proper motive that God wants us to be moved by.

    I think that we all have done some things with the wrong motives in our hearts. A. When we were little, we didn’t misbehave if we at all thought that there might be a reward coming. 1. We were actually phonies...we weren’t being good because we loved and honored our ...read more

    Kept through the Name.

    THE PRAYER OF JESUS - Part 2. John 17:11-19. In the second part of His prayer, our Lord addresses the “Holy Father” (John 17:11). This epithet is unique, but understandable.

    Pentecost has a way of catching up with people.

    AN EPHESIAN PENTECOST. Acts 19:1-7. 1. APOLLOS. Apollos was well taught in the Scriptures, and he was “accurately” teaching the things concerning the Lord - but Apollos knew only the baptism of John. When Aquila and Priscilla perceived the deficiency in his teaching in Ephesus, they drew him ...read more
