    Don't Want To Be A Pharisee Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 5, 2014
    based on 44 ratings
     | 39,805 views

    Jesus despised the Pharisees. But why? These guys were simply trying to please God by honoring His rules. What was it about them that angered God so much and how do we avoid becoming like them?

    About the worst thing you can call somebody in Church is to say they are a “Pharisee”. The Pharisees were THE “bad guys” in scripture and seemed to always be the main group that Jesus singled out as examples of who His followers were NOT to be like. I don’t want to be ...read more

    Isa 53: 3 Jesus Was Despised Series

    Contributed by Robert Irvine on Apr 15, 2024
     | 935 views

    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.

    There is a general rule in Theology that if something is duplicated in the Bible, we can safely assume that God is making a determined effort to get our attention on the issue. And so it’s interesting that the word “despised” is repeated twice in this verse. So we can say that God wants us to face ...read more

    Do not despise the day of small things. God uses the insiginificant for significant purposes

    The Parables of Mustard Seed and Yeast Matthew 13.31-35 ‘Great oaks from little acorns grow.’ I am sure you have heard that saying before and I am also pretty sure many, if not all, of you fully understand what it means.

    Paul's statement to Timothy was not that Timothy demand respect, but that he earn by setting a example in a number of spiritual disciplines.

    First step to experiencing the spiritual renewal that overcomes apathy - involvement in a small group.

    Jesus quoted the book of Deuteronomy more than any other source. Over eighty times he referred to its pages. Three times during His temptation in the wilderness He quoted from this book. That in itself should arouse our curiosity about the spiritual wisdom in its pages. When you read the first ...read more

    Childishness And Small Religion

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025
     | 79 views

    Jesus calls us to lay down childish stubbornness and take His hand in trusting, growing childlikeness that welcomes the Kingdom.

    Have you noticed that Jesus holds two ideas in tension? He tells us to be childlike …and also warns us not to be childish. Only Jesus can say, “Become as little children” and “Grow up”…in the very same breath. He sees what we cannot. He can tell the difference. Our passage today is Luke 7:31-35. ...read more

    This sermon is about listening to the voice of God foillowing a national tragedy or disaster such as a Tsunamii.

    Illustration: Someone sent me an e-mail this week entitled "Thanks for your e-mails in 2004". It wasn’t really in response to my e-mails, but deals with the volumes of e-mails that are passed from person to person. Here’s what the thank you letter says: (4) "Thanks to everyone who sent me such ...read more

    As we draw closer to the Jesus who was Transfigured, we will find that God is bigger than all of our problems.

On this Sunday in the church year, we call to our memory the event when Jesus Christ went up on the mountain and his appearance radically changed before Moses, Elijah, Peter, James, and John. Read Luke 9:28-36 Several years ago now, J.B. Phillips wrote a best ...read more

    What can we learn from ants, locust, rock badgers and lizards when it comes to the church?

    Well here we are. If Psalm 117 is indeed the middle chapter of the bible, and it is, then we are in a physical sense half way through the book. However that being said there are a lot more book in this half then there was in that half. Proverbs is the 20th book of the Bible out of 66, so it’s 20 ...read more
