    The Lost Sheep

    Contributed by Joanna Beveridge on Nov 22, 2006
    based on 14 ratings
     | 5,416 views

    When Jesus compares us to sheep, it may not be flattering, but it is apt.

    Sheep don’t have a very good image, do they? If I asked what your favourite animal was, I doubt very much that any of you would say “sheep”. Our view of sheep is somewhat negative. We don’t say positive things like “Oh, he’s as strong as a sheep” or “She’s as wise as a sheep”. How about “as ...read more

    A message comparing the horrifying attributes of hell to the wondrous goodness of heaven.

    I read a news article the other day that said over 50% of society believes in a heaven, but less than 40% believe in a hell. There is a discrepancy in those numbers because everyone wants to go someplace good, and we all recognize that heaven is a good place. Likewise, we do not want to go any ...read more

    The church is compared to a house, and we are the individual building blocks.

    Introduction: This morning, I want to talk about a church building. Not the physical building that surrounds us here which is composed of wood and stone, but the building of God, the church of our Lord that is composed of living stones. The New Testament uses a number of different descriptive ...read more

     | 10,730 views

    This is a sermon which compares the game of golf to the game of life.

    The latter portion of my text reads, "....and without a parable spake He not unto them." Today I will use a parable or a comparison to illustrate the game of life. It is obvious that the Apostle Paul was knowledgeable of the sporting events of his day. On numerous occasions he used athletics to ...read more

    Jesus compares the worship of a religious leader, with the worship of a prostitute.

    (Luke 7:36-47) "Thou gavest me no kiss" There are two people described in our text. First we have a Pharisee; a very refined gentleman; a man of dignity and respect. Then there is a prostitute; a woman of ill repute; an outcast of society; a sinner. Jesus is the guest of the Pharisee, and has ...read more

     | 4,243 views

    This message compares the postmodern view of truth with the Biblical view.

    Does truth change? "All is relative" has become one of the slogans of our generation. In the Western World, multitudes have rejected the possibility that such a thing as absolute truth could exist. We often hear phrases like "that may be true for you, but it’s not true for me". Truth is seen as a ...read more
