Zacchaeus Meets Jesus Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Sep 27, 2023

Whatever the reason was that made Zacchaeus want to see Jesus he was determined to see him. He went to great lengths. He ran ahead of the crowd and he climbed a sycamore tree so he could catch a glimpse of Jesus as he passed by.

Some people are very interested in the Royal Family of Great Britain. I must confess that for me, not so much. Just in a year over 3 million visited the Royal residence. There is clearly sky-high interest in the UK royal family. But not me. No way am I standing for hours with the crowds just to ...read more

Contention Intervention (January 22, 2023 Version)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jan 21, 2023

Some in that crowd were having quarrels over who baptized them as if those that baptized them had differing ranks. They were choosing sides contrary to the Gospel which calls us to be united to be united through Christ (I Corinthians 1:12 -13).

I Corinthians 1:10. I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11. My brothers, some from Chloe's household ...read more

Cost Of Being A Disciple

Contributed by Mark Engler on Sep 28, 2017

What I see from reading the Bible of those who were serving the Lord they had difficulty because they were Christians doing the will of God. Being a disciple does and will cost you something.

Cost of Being a Disciple Luke 14:25-35 ME Last week Maria and I went back to Parkview Christian Church in Sedalia, MO. It is always good to go back there because we have so many friends there. Parkview is the church were we were before I went into the ministry. I served in many different areas ...read more

Palm Sunday - Luke's Journey Notes

Contributed by Joey Nelson on Apr 15, 2003

A lot of people were there that day. Some predict that 100,000 to 200,000 people were in Jerusalem due to the national holiday of the Passover Feast. Centered in the crowd is an active, hectic, back and forth scene. If you want drama, you’ve got it. Par

Palms Or Passion?

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 12, 2008

Two thousand years ago the crowd desired Jesus to do something spectacular in Jerusalem. There are many today who would want see Jesus do something awesome or miraculous, maybe raise a dead man before taking a step to acknowledge Him as their King and Lo

Another Spirit Series

Contributed by Jimmy Chapman on May 7, 2010

Caleb is one of those men whom we seldom meet with in the Bible, but whenever we do meet him we are better for the meeting. Caleb is one of those rare individuals with “another spirit.” Caleb was a man different from the crowd. He was man made from a

Who Is This?

Contributed by Clair Sauer on Apr 13, 2011

As Jesus made his triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the people there asked, "Who is this?" Palm Sunday invites us to look at Jesus the Prophet, our King, and our Savior, and to make a choice to follow him in praise like those great crowds so long ago.

So, it's not something we terribly often in the South, particularly around Soddy Daisy, but every now and then we will see a limousine drive by on the freeway, or pulled up to the expensive hotels downtown. Usually, it's around prom time, but if you're like me, it nevertheless makes you wonder ...read more

Who Is This Man?

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 21, 2017

As Jesus went to Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles, whispers spread throughout the crowd. Although unsure He was even present, Jesus became the topic of discussion. Many wondered about this man who He truly was. We too must decide who Jesus is.

Who is this Man? John 7: 1-13 Our text deals with events that happened during the Feast of Tabernacles. This was a time of celebration and thanksgiving. Along with Passover and Pentecost, the Feast of Tabernacles was one of three pilgrimages the Jews took to Jerusalem each year. While the Feast ...read more

Not The Jesus They Wanted Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 10, 2021

The crowds were looking for a Christ who would "remain" and lead them into glorious earthly kingdom, but Jesus was talking about being "lifted up" and not being with them forever. The Jesus they wanted wasn't the Jesus they were getting.

I’m told these were actual answers that children gave in Sunday School: “Noah’s wife was called Joan of Ark.” “The epistles were the wives of the apostles.” “Moses got the 10 Commandments at Mt. Cyanide.” “King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 porcupines.” “The men who followed the Lord were called ...read more

Experience The Gift Of A New Beginning

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jul 22, 2021

The pharisees and Scribes used this woman as a pond in their scheme. In this one move, they could condemn the woman, turn the crowd against her and turn them away from the influence of Jesus. One slip of the tongue would be the end of Jesus. Yet Jesus offered a new beginning to all!

The lesson today is one of that was avoided by the early Church and was even left out of some early manuscripts. This is Jesus second discourse in the temple. Only a day or so before this event, many had marveled at his doctrine. The jealous Jewish leaders accused him of having a devil. Jesus ...read more

An Outline Of Acts 22

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 13, 2024

Acts 22 has two sections. The first 2/3 covers Paul's testimony or speech to the crowd (who had just tried to kill him!); the last 1/3 describes Paul's first several hours in the Roman barracks.

Introduction: This chapter continues the events of Chapter 21. In the first section, (verses 1-21) Paul makes a defense or gives a testimony of what he had been before and after he met Jesus. The last section describes Paul’s treatment at the hands of the crowd and, fortunately, the Romans who took ...read more

Now What?

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Oct 11, 2019

Life has a tendency to dash our dreams and imprison our hopes. We can face different types of traps: Metal bars? Mental bars? Joseph had a dream? Now what? The well? Slave market? Auction? Potiphar? Prison? Forgotten? Nothing could stop God's plan.
