    The Despised Gospel Theme: The true gospel message and commitment is despised by many. INTRODUCTION A. In the name of “mainstream Christianity” the gospel has a very easy flavor: 1.

    Despising The Shame

    Contributed by Tim Hinrichs on Oct 4, 2011
    based on 2 ratings
     | 10,621 views

    Shame is one of the most painful experiences in our lives - dealing with it is crucial and the key is looking toward Jesus who both bore our shame and rejected shame that he was not guilty of.

    Looking to Jesus is not something natural for us. Normally we don’t look to Jesus but we look to other things. As you know we used to live in Poland. We rented a house with the most beautiful view of the mountains from our living room and bedroom. It was spectacular! But one year the field ...read more

    Jesus revealed that those who were committed to Him should expect difficulty and persecution for their faith. We tend to think He referred to others, but it is applicable to believers everywhere.

    Despised for the Gospel Mark 13: 9-13 As we continue to discuss the Olivet Discourse, we are reminded that Jesus had warned of calamities the world would face as the end drew near. There would be many false prophets seeking to deceive, much fighting and war among nations, earthquakes, famine, and ...read more

    Grace For The Despised

    Contributed by Jeff Hagan on May 27, 2017
     | 6,924 views

    True grace goes much deeper than we tend to think it does. We tend to reserve it for those who are already followers of Christ, however, Christ exercised grace, mercy, and love even to the most despised of sinners.

    Introduction: I’m sure most of you are familiar with the biblical account of a tiny little guy by the name of Zacchaeus. Well, far from just an entertaining story popular among Sunday School children, the incident with Zacchaeus gives us an incredible example of God’s grace and love. We see in ...read more

    People refused to heed the Servant of the Lord or His message & for that reason did not experience the power of His arm. For it is through heeding the message that the mighty arm of the Lord brings salvation, to believer & lost alike.

    ISAIAH 53:1-3 THE DESPISED FRIEND [JOHN 1: 10-14] Chapter 53 continues to speak of the Messiah, Jesus, who would suffer for the sins of all people. Such a prophecy is astounding! Who would believe that God would choose to save the world ...read more

    The New Year brings with it a sense that here we are again, doing the same old things, even in worship. But the prophet warns us that weariness in worship comes from offering God less than our best.

    In Theology, if something is duplicated in the Bible, we can assume that God is making an effort to get our attention on the issue. So it’s interesting that the word “despised” is repeated twice in this verse. So we can say that God wants us to know that Jesus was despised.
