    Jesus' Midrash: Materialism And God's Provision

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 26, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,715 views

    From God’s provision during Israel’s 40 year wilderness wandering experience, the Jews in Moses’ time could learn some valuable lessons, the Jews in Jesus’ time could learn some valuable lessons, and so can Christians of all times.

    Jesus’ Midrash: Materialism and God’s Provision (Deuteronomy 8:3-18, Matthew 6:24-34) 1. "In contradistinction to literal interpretation, subsequently called "peshaṭ" (comp. Geiger’s "Wiss. Zeit. Jüd. Theol." v. 244), the term "midrash" designates an exegesis which, going more deeply than ...read more

    Greedy For Good Times

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 22, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,158 views

    Why are we rarely as thankful as we should be? Perhaps it is because we are so wrapped up with God’s blessings that we forget their source; we are not willing to take the time or expend the patience it takes to say, "Thank You, Lord."

    Greedy for Good Times (Deuteronomy 8:10-11, 17-18, Luke 17:11-19) 1. Many of us have families spread throughout the nation. It is hard to get together, even for the holidays. 2. The day before Thanksgiving an elderly man in Phoenix called his son in New York and said to him, "I hate to ruin ...read more

    Money Myths: It's My Money Series

     | 8,378 views

    This message looks at the fact that God wants to do more with our money than ever imagined. ...but it’s not ours - its His!

    What do you think says to the world that you are a follower of Christ? What tells people that you are a believer? Is it your Bible? Is it the way you dress, is it a bumper sticker, or a cross around your neck or the way you talk or the way you act? In his letter to the Corinthian Church, Paul ...read more

    From Whom All Blessings Flow Series

    A biblical foundation for giving and receiving. God is the source of all our wealth and good things; it follows that we are to share those good things in order to enjoy them more.

    FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW “Take what you can get…and don’t give anything back!” From what I remember of Pirates of the Caribbean, this was some sort of motto that Captain Jack and his first mate lived by. It wasn’t the pirate code per se but a rule of life. Unfortunately it sounds a lot like ...read more

    Introduction: A. A Madison Avenue advertising agency surveyed non-church-going people several years ago and asked them their impressions of church. 1.

    Are Your Satisfied?

    God wants us to bless (and thank) him AFTER he blesses us. It is easy to be God-conscious when we are in need; it is another thing when we are satisfied.

    Who said: “We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious Hand which ...read more

    Forget Not All His Benefits

     | 6,427 views

    Neglecting to regularly thank God is a sin, but thanking Him frequently blesses His Name and blesses our walk with Him.

    Forget Not All His Benefits Psalm 103:1-5, 2 Chronicles 32:24-26 1. Most of us are looking forward to an amazing Thanksgiving dinner – a small version of what we had at church last Wednesday night. 2. But what if you burn the bird?

    It's good to establish memorials and hold events to remember important occasions or people. What about when it comes to God? If we're not careful, our focus on God could fade to where we think of him less and less. We have to be careful to not forget God.

    NEVER FORGET If you're anything like me, it's easy to forget things; especially if they're not written down. Researcher Karen Bolla lists the top three things people most often forget: 3. phone numbers. 2. where something is. 1. names. Sometimes we can even forget something important ...read more

     | 5,694 views

    This simple sermon is a great visual expression of Thanksgiving that listeners of all ages can immediately relate to and will remember long after the sermon is finished.

    “As you go through life, make this your goal...look at the donut and not the hole.” Donuts are great! Wouldn’t it be sad if you focused your attention on the hole in the middle. Wouldn’t you miss out? Wouldn’t it be just a wee bit silly to complain about the hole? What a sad mistake it would ...read more

    What we often forget is that in declaring their independence from England, our Founding Fathers made an equally bold Declaration of Dependence upon Almighty God.
