    We can grow as friends of God by applying life lessons from three of God’s friends: David, Mary, and Peter. Appropriate for Pentecost, Confirmation, or honoring a pastor, deacon, teacher, or other faithful servant of God.

    “God’s Friends” Acts 2:1-21 The title for today’s sermon comes from a confirmation text book used in my church.(1) In fact, the scripture lessons I selected for today are actually the texts traditionally read in Christian churches around the world on Pentecost Sunday – the day on which ...read more

    Sinner’s Prayer

     | 9,411 views

    This sermon was preached in response to reading a book that attacked the idea and validity of using the sinner’s prayer.

    "What About the Sinner’s Prayer?" Luke 18:10-13 The “sinner’s prayer” gets a bad rap. It has become popular today to trash the idea of “the sinner’s prayer.” Some very popular recent writers have reduced the idea of a sinner’s prayer to the level of superstition or magical incantation. In my ...read more

    A sermonette (I will use this at rest home services) about a bloke who had it so right with God it really make things quite messy in his relationships with his fellow man. Hey I'm just pleased I'm not like him. ;)

    Jesus had a subtle and sometimes not so subtle way of getting through to people. I like how he delivers a message to a group of people who thought they had it bang on right with God, to a group of people who were confident that they had it right with God. Jesus tells them a story that actually cuts ...read more

    Jesus associated with sinners because their repentance brings great joy to heaven. The parables’ drama is built on the tension of an attempt to find what is lost. If the lost were important to Jesus, they should be important to His disciples.

    LUKE 15: 1-10 [PARABLES IN LUKE] SEEKING SINNERS [Jesus, Friend of Sinners] Why seek sinners? Chapter 15 contains three linked parables that explain why Jesus associates with sinners. Jesus associated with sinners who recognized their need of salvation and because their repentance brings ...read more

    I used this sermon for our "Friend Sunday." My main text was Proverbs 18:24, although I used several other texts as time permitted. After a little humor, and prayer I told the illustration about "Mud-sitting."

    Jesus showed mercy to lepers, prostitutes, adulterers and associated with people society treated as people to be avoided. Jesus sought out those who were down and out. When they met Jesus, their lives were transformed.

    There is something very gratifying about being accepted by people of high social status. If I am ever with someone with high social standing or if they have lots of clout, I am right away taken in. If my friends could see me now, I am thinking. I am easily starstruck by anyone with even a little ...read more
