    based on 144 ratings
     | 24,462 views

    Not many people should be teachers. Why? There is danger in speaking. 1- Some will be judged strictly 2- Some will stumble easily 3- Some will speak deceitfully

    INTRO.- Teacher, teacher, who is the real teacher? ILL.- William A. Ward (America’s most quoted writers of inspirational maxims) has said, "The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” I don’t know about teachers but I ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,117 views

    With Jesus in our boat, we have no need to fear. God’s presence and power in our lives stills our storms and calms our fears.

    Matthew 8:23-27 “Why Do We Fear?” INTRODUCTION You probably know this already, but our crystal balls don’t work very well. A year ago who would have thought that we wouldn’t feel any more secure flying than we did in the days after 9/11? Who would have foreseen that we’d be pouring troops ...read more

    Judge And Jury

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jan 9, 2010
    based on 9 ratings
     | 7,087 views

    “Judge not that you be not judged.” Does this verse mean that we are to never judge anything? What exactly is Christ talking about? When is judging right? Or is never right to judge anything?

    JUDGE AND JURY Matthew 7:1-14 Introduction: “Judge not that you be not judged.” is a passage that has been misinterpreted, misquoted and misapplied more than almost any other verse in the entire Bible. It is often quoted by those who are seeking to justify their actions and answer any criticism of ...read more

    The fact is this. We can go as deep into ministry as we are willing to go or we can wade around on the edges and never realize our full potential . God leaves this up to us. God does not force us to do anything nor will he somehow magically open the deep

    Contributed by Larry Turner on Jul 7, 2012
     | 10,607 views

    Jesus said his purpose was to give us "a rich and satisfying life." But sometimes it seems our life is a lot less than satisfying. Did we miss something in what He said?

    Last week we talked about our dependence on God as He is the One with our future in his hands. We made a Declaration of Dependence on him that read; “We hold this truth to be self-evident, that all men are created equal in sin, that through grace, they have been endowed by ...read more

    You must not be called ’Teacher,’ because you are all equal and have only one Teacher. And you must not call anyone here on earth ’Father,’ because you have only the one Father in heaven. Nor should you be called ’Leader,’ because your one and only leader

    “Call no man ‘Father’” says Jesus. That’s part of our reading today from Matthew 23. Jesus says, “call no man ‘Father’”. What’s that doing here? And I don’t just mean what’s it doing here as this week’s reading. I mean, what’s it doing in the Bible? Since the (not so recent) publication of “The ...read more

    Sin turned our thinking around backward. Jesus has to turn that around before we can understand anything.

    “Now on the same occasion there were some present who reported to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this fate? 3 “I tell ...read more
