    It may take a crucified church to bring a crucified Christ before the eyes of the world. Christ’s cross makes foolish human wisdom. The cross insults our intelligence (too simple), ability (nothing to do), and ambition (not glory for self).

    Opening illustration: When Harvard University was founded, its motto was Veritas Christo et Ecclesiae —“Truth for Christ and the Church.” Its crest showed three books, one face down to symbolize the limitation of human knowledge. But in recent decades that book has been turned ...read more

    God changes us more and more as we believe the gospel more and more deeply and personally.

    Scripture Introduction One of my seminary professors illustrated the challenge of believing and living Biblical truth by saying that we work out our theology and practice on a razor’s edge.

    This is certainly an interesting text. The Lord has done three things that has caused this to be a very tense moment.

    He has: - Healed a man against the approval of the religious leaders. - Dealt with the guest who had a manner problem. - Corrected the host. This passage of Scripture shows us a situation that the old farmers used to have a saying for. They would have said, “The Lord had ‘cleaned their plow,’ ...read more

    Paul said, “We despaired even of life.” It is evident that the record in Acts does not give all the dangers that threatened Paul in Ephesus.

    I first put this Lenten address together in 2008, and when the Vicar's wife said she found it good and thought it should go on "Sermoncentral" - so who was I to disagree. I offer this series as a help and it is based on Richard Foster's excellent book Prayer

    Timothy was blessed for his Grandmother’s (Lois) & Mother's (Eunice) Faithfulness. His father was a gentile (Greek), not a believer, not even around. Paul reminds us that even one parent or grandparent can have influence on a child.
