    The Irreducible Cross

    Contributed by Bill Sullivan on Mar 23, 2005
    based on 19 ratings
     | 3,372 views

    As much as our culture, or we, might try, to remove it as a barrier...as much as the world might like to make it into only a symbol, and rob it of its eternal meaning, the cross is irreducible. It’s irreducible in time. It’s irreducible in eternity.

    The Irreducible Cross TCF Good Friday sermon March 25, 2005 I found this quote a few weeks ago in an article on a very popular TV preacher. This guy sells tickets to his national tour, and fills 15-20,000-seat arenas with his positive message. In this quote, he describes his own church, ...read more

    Jesus knew that excellence could only be measured in terms of the heavenly Father. The Lord Jesus did not make the mistake of letting His standards be measured relative to his cultural context. Instead, Jesus said, "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly

    Jump The Shark

    Contributed by Troy Brewer on Dec 16, 2002
    based on 34 ratings
     | 3,711 views

    The term "Jump the shark" is a pop culture term that means to do something that causes the eventual ruin of that same something. Like the point when a good Tv series goes bad. this is about how to avoid "jumping the shark" in our walks with God.

    JUMP THE SHARK Sometimes new terms come into modern pop culture that catch us guard. I remember the first time I hear “You da bomb”. Party animal for somebody that lives for getting drunk. You da bomb for somebody you actually like. Back before bad meant tough or dangerous it actually ...read more

    I Am The Light Of The World Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 4, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,632 views

    What does it mean when Jesus says He is the Light of the World? He spoke to a culture thoroughly verse in the Old Covenant, and so to understand the significance of His words, we will need to explore what the people heard when He spoke.

    ”Again Jesus spoke to [the Jewish leaders], saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’ So the Pharisees said to him, ‘You are bearing witness about yourself; your testimony is not true.’ Jesus answered, ‘Even if I do bear ...read more

    Our reaching out and touching Christ can profoundly change our lives and the lives of those around us. Would we care to step out of our circumstances, cultural and societal pressures, relying on God in faith to do the impossible for us?

    This sermon pulls together the "bronze serpent" event in Numbers with John 3:14-21. Jesus is the object that is tangable. Other world religions offered in our pluralistic culture Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism offer ladders to God... Jesus is the lad

    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,458 views

    If there one passage that defines this culture, it is Matthew 7:1-5. Since the Supreme Court legalized same sex marriage, this passage has been pushed to the forefront. This message examines what Jesus meant when he said, "Do not judge."

    A Fractured Fairy Tale Introduction When I was growing up, there was an older cartoon show that I enjoyed watching. It was the Rocky and Bullwinkle show.

    based on 12 ratings
     | 21,994 views

    Justification sounds like a $20 word that nobody would use outside of Church. But surprisingly the words justify and justification are interwoven into our culture and are used in ways that tell us a lot about what God did when He justified us.

    based on 7 ratings
     | 9,891 views

    Hell is a literal place that most preachers shy away from preaching in this current "seeker-sensitive" church culture of ours for fear of offending, and to ensure religious correctness and church growth. In our text we find a man preaching from Hell.

    A Sermon from Hell Luke 16:19-31 Introduction: On an airplane a pastor opened his Bible to the story of Jonah and began to study. The man sitting next to him glanced at this pastors reading selection and commented, “Surely you do not believe that a man was actually swallowed by a whale and ...read more

     | 14,108 views

    Our culture tells us to always look for the new and improved; the latest is always the greatest. Pastors are always on the lookout for new methods, new gimmicks, and worst of all, new doctrines. The Bible is full of warnings to God’s people that the popul
