    The Least Of These

    Modern Christians are going to be horrified when they stand in Judgment. Attending church, praising the Lord, living faithfully, and paying tithes aren't even on the radar of what Jesus is expecting of us. We're supposed to be serving 'the least of these!'

    THE LEAST OF THESE Matt. 25:31-40 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE SPHINX’S RIDDLE 1. There’s an ancient Greek story about a Sphinx that troubled the city of Thebes. He would ask passers-by a riddle. If they got the answer wrong, he would devour them. 2. The riddle was: “What walks on four legs in ...read more

    The first son who "refused" to work, eventually did. The second son who "agreed" to work, later decided not to. Those expected to do great things for God can sometimes fail; whereas, those least expected can be used in a mighty way.

    Have you ever felt God asking you to do some type of ministry that you believed was beyond your capabilities, and then you became reluctant? Did you say to yourself, “I’m never going to do that?” This is the way many people respond to the Lord’s call on their life. I’ve heard it said you should ...read more

     | 2,579 views

    The Bible, particularly Jesus, puts together two ideas which the world would always keep seperate: love and dogma. This sermon argues they must always go together.

    Psalm 33, Isaiah 45:11 – 19, 1 John 4:7-21, John 15:9-17 The Bible puts two things together that modern man would never in a million years put together. We see them both in the gospel and the epistle appointed for today. On one hand there is something in both the gospel and the epistle which ...read more

    Evil is never overcome by more evil nor by playing into the power and victim games that others would use to entrap us. Evil is only overcome by goodness that lets our abusers know we will remain in control of how we choose to respond
