    Discipleship: The Call Of The Cross

    Contributed by Richard Deem on Oct 9, 2006
    based on 24 ratings
     | 12,241 views

    It is important to understand that God has freely given us salvation. It was paid for by the cross of Christ. Along with this salvation comes discipleship. Jesus said if you are going to be His disciple, you have to bear your cross.

    Discipleship: The Call Of The Cross (Note: This message was preached at a special School of Ministry/Congress on Leadership convened in Panama City, Republic of Panama) I consider it a great privilege to be invited to be part of this School of Ministry and Congress on Leadership.

    Learn to respond to God’s call and vision for your life

    Let me begin this morning’s message by asking, “How many more days do you expect to live? If you expect to live another 60 years, you will have 21,900 days. If you expect to live another 20 years, you will have 7,300 days. If you expect to live another 1 year, you will have 365 days. Let me ask ...read more

    based on 57 ratings
     | 11,653 views

    The Bible explicitly indicates what God expects from the preacher. This sermon examines these expectations from 2 Timothy 4:1.

    Marks of the Faithful Preacher, Part 1 2 Timothy 4:1 INTRODUCTION A. The Preacher’s Charge Studying this letter from the apostle Paul to Timothy, his young son in the faith, is like treading on sacred ground, for it’s the last words ever penned by Paul in Scripture.

    An Honest Confession Series

    based on 28 ratings
     | 10,870 views

    God’s victory over sin (59:15b-21) is not provided until genuine repentance is entered. The outpouring of God’s grace in our lives awaits our humble honest admitting to the hideousness of our sins & our powerlessness to save ourselves from them.

    ISAIAH 59: 9-15a AN HONEST CONFESSION This section continues describing the people’s sin, but now its seriousness, their helplessness to change, and the effects of their sins become realized by people. Isaiah has just boldly confronted the people ...read more

    Broken, Worn Out, Old Clay Pots

    based on 5 ratings
     | 14,988 views

    I used this sermon as one of several in a series on Clay Pots (Earthen Vessels). This was the one I used on Father’s Day during that series.

    I recently came across a Chinese parable that eludes to our thoughts for today’s text. It’s a tale about a water-bearer and his two pots of clay. An elderly peasant had two large clay pots. One of the pots had a crack down its side to a point about half way. The other pot, perfect! Each had been ...read more

    The Unjust Judge Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,824 views

    This parable is about persistence in praying but not about praying the same prayer persistently to get what we want. It is about sticking with prayer and with God no matter what!

    The Parables of Jesus The Unjust Judge Luke 18:1-8 August 9, 2009 Here we have another parable with a theme of prayer. Like the parable of the BFF @ midnight, this parable is NOT praying the persistently the same prayer badgering God to get what we desire. In fact, NO WHERE in scripture is this ...read more

    Sins Covered Verses Sins Confessed Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 20,783 views

    Both God and men cover sin. The choice is not whether to deal with sins or not, but to deal with them either wisely or foolishly. Let's learn what action we are taking to deal with our sin along with its corresponding result.

    PROVERBS 28: 13 SINS COVERED VERSES SINS CONFESSED [Job 31: 33-34, Psalm 51:1-12] "He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them finds mercy." This verse is distinctly divided. Two different types of persons are introduced. Two opposite courses of ...read more

    A series on Theology and how it's relevant for today. This message asks "Does it really matter WHAT I believe?"

    Easter Sunday THE ONE THING: I can face life or death with courage if I know Jesus is risen. The point of the jelly beans: What you believe ________________________.

    Perhaps nothing brings greater joy and also tests our relationship with God like offerings. Let's see how God used offerings as the ultimate test for His friend Abraham.
