    A Servant People

    Contributed by Spencer Homan on Nov 19, 2009
     | 3,528 views

    This sermon focuses on Jesus’ challenge for an "Upside Down Kingdom" challenging us to be first by being last. This is a call to except that challenge and become first place in the things God wants us to be excellent in.

    Mark 10:35-45 35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. "Teacher," they said, "we want you to do for us whatever we ask." 36 "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked. 37 They replied, "Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory." 38 "You ...read more

    We must work to understand what God has revealed, but it takes determined people to put that truth to work.

    Going Forward (Acts 11:19-30) 1. Sometimes in life we want to do something, but we feel awkward about it. 2. At a funeral, we sometimes have a sharing time; I usually say, "Nobody likes to be first, so who will be second?" 3. And sometimes we simply don’t make the changes we need to make because ...read more

    The Wilderness.

    A Communion Meditation for the first Sunday in Lent. After Baptism, Jesus was compelled to deal with a wilderness situation. What is our wilderness? Jesus was helped by angels. Can we help others in their wilderness times?

    Background: I read about Boy Scouts preparing for a backpacking trip to a wilderness area—I think it was Alaska. The scout leader told them to pare down their packs as much as possible. Then he told them to open their sleeping bags, and lay everything out and remove any other extra items. ...read more

    The Gentile Christmas

    An Epiphany sermon I preached on 1/7/2009 at the Salem Lutheran Home chapel, Elk Horn, Iowa.

    In some ways, you could say that Epiphany is the “last hurrah” of Christmas. It’s the day when we remember the visit of the wise men, or magi as they are called in our text, to worship the Christ child and present the gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. It’s a great scene, one that’s often ...read more

    In Luke 8:26-39 we meet a madman who lived naked and homeless in a graveyard. Not only does this story show us Jesus’ power over evil but in makes the point that no one is beyond God’s redeeming grace.

    If we allow worries and riches and pleasures of life instead of focusing on God’s Word, our lives will be suffocated, held back, even taken over and not have a life of significance.

    We have been studying the Gospel of Luke and we have been learning from the parable of the Sower and the Seeds. What’s a parable?

    Never Surrender Your Authenticity

    Jesus says let "yes" be yes and "no" be no. Righteousness must exceed the Pharisees. They surrendered their authenticity to appear more religious. This sermon is an encouragement to live in the opposite manner.

    Never Surrender Your Authenticity Counterfeiters make over a billion dollars a year, making fake designer clothes and handbags. That billion is from the United States, not the rest of the world. These are not cheap knock offs from street vendors; they are well-made fakes. There's an ...read more
