An Offensive Message (John 6)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on May 28, 2025

What parts of Jesus' message offends us? Let's look at John 6.

Do we water down Jesus’ message because it offends us? Let’s look at John 6. With a large crowd following Jesus, did they have enough money to feed them all? After this, Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (that is, to Tiberias). A large crowd kept following him because they ...read more

So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried the one year plan. You were faithful with the reading plan and then you came to Leviticus.

Be Patient - Have Faith

Contributed by Mark Christian on Dec 8, 2003

Sermon starts focused on our patience built on our faith, but changes focus to God’s goodness, compassion and mercy upon which our faith rests.

Be Patient – Have Faith Mark Christian A couple of years ago, I heard Patrick Mead, a missionary to Africa and many other places, describe a very real picture of faith. He told of a family in Africa who had stored up a year’s harvest of grain. Each day, the mother and father would ration out ...read more

A Promise Is A Promise

Contributed by David Richardson on May 28, 2004

There is no limit to God, and there is no reason for Him to break any promise that He has made to you. He is there rain or shine, in the good times and the bad. He is ready to help you in those promises you have made to Him

--A Promise is a Promise!-- I. Introduction Opening Scripture Reading Psalm 105:39 He spread out a cloud as a covering, and a fire to give light at night. 40 They asked, and he brought them quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 41 He opened the rock, and water gushed out; like a ...read more

From Fear To Courage To Perseverance

Contributed by Chris Tiller on Nov 19, 2005

Falling deeper in love with Jesus (from knowledge about him, to conviction that he lives, to identification with his suffering) moves us from fear to courage to perseverance.

This passage in Acts 5 describes the third time that the apostles risked arrest because of their association with Jesus. The first time that the apostles stood and faced arrest, they didn’t… That is, they didn’t stand, they turned and ran. And they didn’t face their opponents, they scattered ...read more

Comparision - Toxic To The Soul

Contributed by Joey Nelson on Nov 25, 2003

There is something that is toxic to the soul (to use a phrase by Dr. Andrew McQuitty, pastor of Irving Bible Church) to Christians and non-Christians alike, to those in professional fields and to those in agricultural vocations. It’s called COMPARISION.

INTRODUCTION Opening Statement: Have you ever asked the question “Why me?” You’ve done your best but your best never seems to be good enough. You’ve worked just as hard, paid just as many dues, slogged through just as many valleys and hard places, as the other guy, yet you never seem to be able to ...read more

1. The Generous Employer Series

Contributed by Don Jaques on Feb 13, 2007

The way into the Kingdom is by response to an invitation to come – not by justice (working for your wages). All people, regardless of background, can respond to God’s invitation and be rewarded with eternal life.

In a rather shocking story that Jesus told to a crowd of people, he shared with them that the ways of God’s relating to people are actually quite a bit different from our rules of fairness, justice, and good economic principles. Listen now as I’ll tell you a story like Jesus told it – it comes ...read more

Would You Let Your Kids Go To A Youth Group Run By Jesus?

Contributed by David Smith on Nov 2, 2007

I imagine that, given the types of persons that huddled around Jesus, there would have, at the very least, been a fair bit of flirting going on at those gatherings.

We’re in Luke chapter 15, and Jesus appears to be partying again! Jesus was fond of saying that the Kingdom of God is like a party, and he seemed keen to illustrate that with his lifestyle, wherein he was a frequent guest at dinner parties and a not too infrequent host of spontaneous soirees. And ...read more
