    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 9, 2023
     | 1,474 views

    What do you suppose happened at the palace the next morning, when Herod woke up with a hangover the size of the Roman Empire and a public relations problem twice as big? I can hear them all spinning the story, can’t you? It’s not the way it seems! It’s not my fault! I’m not to blame! Let’s listen ...read more

    There are many excuses to not following Jesus, the ones who follow must have NO EXCUSES.

    NO EXCUSES 2/7/99 I. Excuses (Lk. 14:15-24) A. Unnaturalness of the refusal. 1. There is a kind of law to which the more valuable a thing is, the less men care to have it. “The attraction of an object is the inverse ratio of its worth.” a.

    It’s ironic that when dealing with these positive commandments, we don’t ever come to a point when we can say, “I have fulfilled them.”

    Thursday before Epiphany 2017 Joy of the Gospel St. John teaches us today in both Epistle and Gospel: “By this we know love, that [Jesus] laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

    Don't Excuse Yourself From God's Banquet Of Salvation

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Nov 19, 2003
    based on 68 ratings
     | 8,276 views

    In the parable of the great banquet Jesus gives us a graphic warning about excusing ourselves from God’s feast of salvation in time and in eternity.

    “Are you looking for just the right excuse for a certain situation? Ask your pastor he has heard them all.” Although more of joke than advice there is some truth to it. Pastors do hear a lot of excuses. But I think it would be more correct to say that only God has truly heard all the excuses ...read more

    Paul has both good news and bad news for the world. The good news is that God has provided atonement for lost mans sins. The bad news, which he writes of first, is that all men need atonement for their sins.

    WILL GOD EXCUSE THE HEATHERN THAT HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT HIM? Here in Romans 1:18-32 Paul has both good news and bad news for the world. The good news is that God has provided atonement for lost mans sins. The bad news, which he writes of first, is that all ...read more

    God may be calling you. Are you being obedient or making excuses? Here are 3 common excuses used by Christians.

    A small boy was eating pancakes and while no one was in the kitchen, he helped himself to some more topping. He used about half a bottle on one pancake and you can imagine the mess it made. His grandma returned to the kitchen to find the sticky aftermath. “Johnny,” she asked, “why did you use ...read more

    There are many excuses we can offer for not accepting the invitation to come to the banquet which God has prepared, but none of our excuses are valid because Jesus deals with them all.

    Friends in the Lord, One thing you can guarantee when you have Jesus over to your place for dinner is that the table conversation will always be very interesting. Which is exactly what is happening in our text. But the teachings of Jesus aren’t recorded just because they are “interesting”. The ...read more

    This story places the Israelites’ emotional development pretty squarely in the adolescent stage, because they behaved just like a bunch of teenagers left too long with the keys to the wine cellar.

    How many of you have children? Did you have any idea, while you were painting the nursery and picking out your first set of onesies, how much of your life would get taken over?

    Hope in suffering comes when we are able to focus, not on the troubles around us, but on God¡¦s hidden treasure within and before us.

    I¡¦ve noticed in counseling with people over the years that people lose their bearings when they get bad news. Perhaps you saw the story this week about a man in Hollywood, California. Three Marines came to his home to break the news to him that his son had died in the service of his country. ...read more
