The Poverty Of Self-Sufficiency Series

based on 39 ratings

| 12,635 views

As we look at the first Beatitude this morning, I wonder if those listening to Jesus wished they had a dictionary with them because it must have seemed like He was speaking a different language.

The Poverty of Self-Sufficiency I’ve received some wonderful green and gold gifts recently. This Packer headband keeps my ears warm, and this cap announces my allegiance for all to see. This Packer Christmas stocking came filled with Snicker bars; and I even received some “Lambeau loafers” as ...read more

The Gladness Of Sadness Series

based on 49 ratings

| 22,900 views

In one of the most profound, and paradoxical texts in the Bible, Jesus declares in Matthew 5:4: “Blessed are those who mourn; for they will be comforted.”

The Gladness of Sadness I like to begin my messages with something that makes us laugh when I can (though some of you probably wouldn’t necessarily call it humor). As we approach the second Beatitude however, I realize that frivolity isn’t called for today. In fact, this character quality is no ...read more

I was struck with how “in control” Jesus was, even when events were transpiring around him and people were doing disturbing things to Him.

Meek Does Not Mean Weak This past Tuesday Pastor Jeff and I had had the opportunity to view a screening of the film called, “The Passion of the Christ” with about 4,000 other pastors.

Look at Matthew 5:6: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”

The Happiness of a Hungry Heart As Jesus continues to communicate the blessings that come from beatitude living, let’s summarize what we’ve learned so far.

Pursuing Purity In An Impure World Series

based on 114 ratings

| 31,845 views

We can con our coworkers, fool our friends and family, play charades with church members, and even deceive ourselves, but we can’t masquerade before the Lord because He sees right through our masks.

Pursuing Purity in an Impure World I remember seeing a cartoon that shows a pastor and his wife deep in conversation. The wife says, “Today let’s do something different. Why don’t you be charming at home and grouchy at church?” Ouch. That really doesn’t apply to me…because I’m often grouchy in ...read more

“You’re blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That’s when you discover who you really are, and your place in God’s family.”

Making Peace in the Midst of Conflict Conflict is everywhere, isn’t it? In a classic Winston Churchill comeback, Lady Astor once said, “If you were my husband, I’d put poison in your coffee.” Churchill responded with his cutting wit: “If you were my wife, I’d drink it.” We laugh at this sarcasm, ...read more

“Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is y

The Blessing No One Wants How many of you have seen The Passion of the Christ movie?

based on 6 ratings

While no one can come to Jesus unless the Father draws him, it’s also clear that Christianity does not require a "leap of faith" to believe.

Sanctified by the Truth TCF Sermon March 5, 2006 In what some commentators call His high priestly prayer, in John chapter 17, Jesus prayed for His disciples, and for us. One of the things he prayed was: John 17:17 (NIV) Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth Jesus asked our Heavenly ...read more

The Hard Truth

Contributed by Bill Sullivan on Sep 4, 2005

based on 5 ratings

| 3,923 views

Truths are hard because they are hard to grasp, hard to accept, or hard to practice, or live out. They’re hard to practice because the hard truths of scripture require something of us.

The Hard Truth TCF Sermon September 4, 2005 I could very easily title this morning’s sermon, Lessons from LouAnn. That’s because several weeks ago, the inspiration for this morning’s message came from Lou Ann Goodbary. Do you all know LouAnn? LouAnn has been here at TCF longer than most of us, ...read more
