    Jesus has come back to Capernaum and is in the house of Peter, where He is quickly surrounded by people desperate for His Word. One man had four friends who were desperate to get their friend to Jesus. How desperate are we?

    Way back in the 90s, I had to preach the funeral of a man I never met. The funeral home called and asked if I would perform the service since I was the pastor of the church, where he was to be buried.

     | 27,519 views

    God’s criterion for choosing His servants is far different from man’s in that man tends to look only at the cover of a man, while God looks at the core of a man.

    Text: I Sam.16: 1-5, 13a Intro: If you were going to choose someone to do an important job, what would be your criteria? Would they have to have the finest educational background, be a picture of vigor and health, and exude charisma, or would they simply have to be able to do the job, and ...read more

    Calling All Nobodies

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 2,697 views

    The idolatrous priest Amaziah tries to intimidate the prophet Amos. He did not appreciate Amos’ message against the king. But Amos wan't trying to be popular--God had called him out of an ordinary life of shepherding and gathering fruit. In other words, Amos was a nobody.

    This passage teaches us a valuable lesson: God calls and uses nobodies, those who are shunned by the world or overlooked. Amos, Moses, and David were just shepherds. Joseph was just a boy with a dream. Ruth was an outcast, an outsider. Esther was just a regular Jewish girl. These people were ...read more
