    The Dung Gate

    Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Mar 5, 2012
    based on 7 ratings
     | 21,103 views

    Illustrated sermon, drama appended to sermon. A message about the need to remove garbage and how ancient Jerusalem had people for that task. It is a nasty dirty job, that Jesus did for us. Message and drama were very well received.

    A CAMEL THAT PASSED THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDLE. Luke 19:1-10.

    For Such A Time As This

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 27, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 11,302 views

    Compassion must be owned personally, and we must know that we do have the resources to meet needs. However, it will be costly to do so.

    If we suppose that the essence of being compassionate is simply to have mushy feelings about somebody, we are dead wrong. If for us the word "compassion" suggests nothing more than feelings of sympathy and maybe the willingness to dole out a few dollars of welfare, then we’ve missed it. We’ve not ...read more

    Monday of Holy Week 18 April 2011 Spirit of the Liturgy Mary loved her brother, Lazarus. When he took ill, she and Martha immediately sent word to Jesus, trusting that He would come and cure Lazarus. She waited, and waited, and watched her brother get progressively worse.

    Mission: Possible--The Call Series

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Feb 16, 2016
     | 6,546 views

    Christ called disciples to a mission in the world. The call is distinctive, costly and transforming. This sermon touches on who Christ calls, the cost involved and the priority of the mission.

    Mission is such a nebulous word. When we talk about mission in church settings, our minds immediately go the work we do in the community and around the world—we think about the church being in missions. We begin this message series and have made the focus of this Lenten season Mission: ...read more

     | 11,348 views

    Like the magi’s journey to Bethlehem, a life devoted to the adoration of Jesus is costly and requires preparation and often takes us through difficulty.

    Sometime early in this century it became fashionable to use the expression “war on Christmas” to cover everything related to any kind of controversy about the observance of Christmas in our culture. While some of the issues that fall under that heading certainly ought to be of concern ...read more

    Looking at the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, we see how costly it is to be focused only on "self" and not be mindful to be preparing our soul for eternity.

    "Jesus’ authority as kingly Messiah rests not in spectacle or selling-out or cutting corners, but rests on His reliance on the Father and Jesus’ costly obedience to the Father even along the road to the cross."

    “The time has come,” Jesus said, “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” (1:15) That was Jesus’ great announcement at the beginning of his ministry in Galilee. And to the two pairs of brothers… “Come follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” ...read more
