     | 5,125 views

    The reasons for the burial of Jesus are many; here are two of the most obvious.

    Contemplating Jesus’ Burial (John 19:31-42) 1. I grew up with my parents and sister calling me Eddie. My dad’s first name was Edward, but we had different middle names, so I was not a “junior.” He was called “Eddie” as well, so he was big Eddie and I was little Eddie. My sister was named Edlyn. ...read more

    Salt

     | 3,553 views

    Salt was scarce in the Near East in Jesus' day. It symbolized the bonds of friendship, peace and love between people. It is another example of the great commandment that Jesus gave us to love one another.

    Salt Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Mark 9:49-50 Mark 9:49 "For everyone will be salted with fire. 50 "Salt is good; but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you 1make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another." This short narrative about salt ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,670 views

    I think all of the things on this list, sexual immorality, unrighteousness and greed all share this component: they devalue something which is invaluable.

    Ephesians 5:3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Which is more valuable, the things we buy or the things we receive and give freely? Think about it. We pay a high price ...read more

    Jesus' challenge to the host in Luke 14, that he should not invite those who could serve his needs but those whose needs he could serve, challenges the worldly approach to human relationships.

    Luke 14:1-14 "The Banquet" INTRODUCTION The word "Stewardship" has gained an ugly reputation in Christian circles. It is frequently associated with congregational pleas for more money. The word has lost its wholistic dimension. Stewardship, or if you prefer, good management is no longer ...read more
