    "Dissatisfied With Satisfaction"

    Contributed by Ray Scott on May 24, 2004
    based on 28 ratings
     | 7,472 views

    In this sermon on "The Pearl Of Great Price", we see that if God is dissatisfied with our Christian life, we should also be dissatisfied with it. Dissatisfaction isn’t a bad thing, but a good thing.

    “Dissatisfied With Satisfaction” Matthew 13:45-46 INTRODUCTION: This morning we are going to take a look at the parable that Jesus gives on “The Pearl Of Great Price”. Jesus doesn’t explain the parable. I want us to look at it in 2 ways … the INTERPRETATION … AND … the APPLICATION. Matthew ...read more

    Time Of Testing Series

     | 20,277 views

    Some scholars have said that Hezekiah started out good and then went bad. I think that’s a short sighted description of a man who was not that much different than we are.

    OPEN: A man spoke of one of the most challenging courses he’d had at his college as being a business law class in which the professor gave difficult true/false tests. "During one of the more exasperating exams, I noticed another student flipping a coin. The professor approached him. ’Son are you ...read more

    Seasons of testing are neither good or bad, they are neutral. It is how we handle these situations... We need toUNDERSTAND: to know meaning or know how, to grasp, to be familiar, to achieve, this test is an opportunity for promotion.

    Mary Versus Martha - A Matter Of Priority

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 10, 2015
     | 14,726 views

    We often hear the account of the dinner given for Jesus at Martha's house as a, "Mary was good and Martha was BAD" sort of idea. But, is that really the essence of what happened? Let's take a look ...

    Today we'll be taking a look at an interesting event which took place in Bethany at the home of Martha, Mary and Lazarus. So, let's get right into it, OK? Luke 10:38-42 NRSV “Now as they went on their way, [Jesus] entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her ...read more

    Titus was miserable in Crete, writing to Paul, the title might have been “How to Make the Best of a Bad Situation.” I have decided to title this message Happy Living in Crete.

     | 7,422 views

    The past hundred years have brought many negatives including the social gospel movement. However, there have been movements to combat these with the truth. This lesson looks at both the good and bad of the past century.

    Over the course of the past 14 weeks, we have examined some of the most important periods in Church History. From the ancient creeds of the early church to the formal confessions of the protestant reformation, we have seen that throughout her existence the Church has always had people within who ...read more

    Today we want to talk about being angry when bad things are being done which is right, but we will look at Moses who did the right thing but did it the wrong way.

    Right thing the wrong way Pt. 5 Anger Management Moses correcting the complaining Israelites Introduction A.

    Paul told the Ephesian elders that wolves would arise from among the own number. How were they to be able to tell when someone (like an Elder) had become one of the bad guys?

    OPEN: Last week I told you I loved superheroes. And I have done extensive research for this sermon series for years. I’ve read superhero comic books/ watched superhero TV shows/ went to superhero Movies. I’m what you might call an “expert” in superheroes. And one of the things about superheroes ...read more

    It is so easy to become discouraged in our world, especially with the steady flow of bad news coming from the world around us, this sermon shows why the Christian has a supply of everlasting encouragement

    EVERLASTING ENCOURAGEMENT (All me sermons use illustrations from sermoncentral.com and all scripture is NIV unless otherwise noted) How many times in life do we feel the weight of discouragement?

    Accountability: Self Evaluation

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Dec 11, 2014
     | 6,332 views

    We need strong accountability in the "free" age in which we walk. If we would apply self evaluation we would not need others to correct us. It is easy to fall into bad habits.

    Recognizing What Time It Is

     | 5,599 views

    There is nothing so fulfilling as good timing, nothing so embarassing as bad timing. Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem was wonderful for some, judgment time for others. What time is it for us? (MLK assassination anniversary)

    There is nothing quite so fulfilling as good timing. And nothing quite so embarrassing as bad timing. They say that the secret in being a comedian is good timing. Well, the secret in living is good timing. Quite a few years ago, a young lady in whom I was more than slightly interested had to be ...read more

    Tongue Tamers

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 20, 2012
     | 7,880 views

    The tongue is a powerful tool. However, as someone once said, "When it is good there is nothing better but when it is bad there is nothing worse." It's that last part that moves us to understand the importance of taming the tongue.

    TONGUE TAMERS James 3:1-12 INTRODUCTION: In northern New Mexico, at around 5 AM on July 16, 1945, the still dark early morning sky became as bright as the noonday sun. In that one blinding flash, the Atomic Age had begun. The atomic fireball shot upwards at 360 feet per second. The characteristic ...read more

    Hell has gotten a bad rap these days. Dante wrote about its amusement park, but that’s fallen into disrepair. It’s no longer on the list of any popular tourist destinations.

    The disciplines hid in fear after the crucifixion. How could they continue, even survive when all appeared lost. How can we face the world when we are in that same bad place?
