     | 1,301 views

    Jeremiah’s message was not received by the religious, legal or ruling class. Today political, entertainment, religious and academic figures, refuse to listen to the message; but it is often Mr and Mrs Average and Mr and Mrs Not Important, who respond. Israel will be restored.

     | 1,667 views

    Job was a righteous and good man. He was a good steward of what God has given him. He mentioned his deeds of generosity in Job 31:16-23. His concerns for poor, needy, care of the fatherless and vulnerable. Great motivational passage.

    Text: Job 31:16-23 Theme: Almsgiving of Job Illustration: A preacher asked the congregation. What makes a good sermon?

    The Least Of These

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 7, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,436 views

    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

    "He Gets Us”! But, Does He Take You As You Are?

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Oct 17, 2024
     | 617 views

    Some people with good intentions have created an advertisement named, He Gets US! Is it a proper depiction of the cause of Jesus Christ for mankind? Does Jesus approve of us the way we are?

    Some people with good intentions have created an advertisement named, He Gets US! I am sure many have seen it. I admire the effort to spread the name of Jesus, but I am disappointed in their content and implied message. Is it a proper depiction of the cause of Jesus Christ for mankind?

    John pointed to Jesus and we want to do that too - the greatest example of all! This is where Luke tells us about the baptism of Jesus.

    THE GREATEST EXAMPLE   Luke 3:15-22   Introduction In Luke 2 we studied about Jesus’ statement that he must be about his Father’s Business. Today we will see him inaugurating his public ministry. Dr. Luke moved quickly from the infancy of Jesus to his 12th year, and today to his ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 3,122 views

    Greed is every bit as much -- maybe more -- a poor man’s vice as it is a rich man’s folly.

    Fifthteenth Sunday in Trinity: Scripture: Luke 12:13-21, Ecclesiasticus 5:1-10 "Is Greed a Poor Man’s Vice?" The lessons appointed for today have three things in common. First of all, both contain teaching from men who were named Jesus. Jesus ben Sirach composed the passage from the apocryphal ...read more

    Love And Dogma

     | 2,705 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

    Enacted pulpit drama, with props and symbolic actions, as if the preacher were Ezekiel. Immorality and inattention will be judged by God, and until we repent of these we will not flourish.

     | 2,375 views

    God’s heart for the poor is clearly presented in Luke’s gospel. Jesus continues to hammer home the point of good news to the poor and warnings to the wealthy. What should we take from this?

    (If you rate this sermon, please offer helpful comments. God bless, Greg) If you think of yourself as extremely rich, raise your hand. If you think of yourself as terribly poor and needy raise your hand. What does it look like to be extremely rich today? What about terribly poor and needy? In ...read more
