     | 8,133 views

    Considering Christ’s description of the cost of discipleship.

    “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”—Luke 9:62 WHAT DOES OUR WALK SAY ABOUT US? This is a word from Jesus about the importance of commitment. Hand refers to our spiritual motivation. Because of the hand’s ability to seize, control or ...read more

    This message is intended to help us realize that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life in every aspect of our living: personal, family and church.

    JESUS SAID…. John 14:6 INTRODUCTION: A. A small group of disciples had gathered with Jesus to eat the Passover meal together. 1. He had told them of a traitor in their midst, His coming death, the desertion of the disciples and the denial of Peter. 2. Things were looking pretty grim and, ...read more

    Done as first-person, in costume and character, summary of Paul’s teaching; built on acronym of the name PAUL -- prayer, avoidance (of immorality), understanding, love. Montgomery Hills Baptist Church

    Grace to you and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. As an apostle, charged to preach the Gospel, I am here today to say to you ... What?! You challenge me? You challenge my right to speak? Am I not an apostle?! Am I not, though born at the wrong time, nonetheless one whom ...read more

  • First Thank God Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 14, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,285 views

    Initial sermon of interim pastorate. As Paul lived into relationship with God prior to theologizing, I thank God for the faithfulness in the congregation’s history; for mutual enrichment in its diversity; and for coming victory when no one need be ashame

    God is not a problem to be solved. God is a mystery with whom we are to live. God is not an equation to be worked out in mathematical precision; God is personal, with whom we connect. God is a who, a where, and a when -- acting, living, and doing; and if God is sometimes a what and a why, an ...read more

  • Getting On God's Agenda

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 16, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,976 views

    God’s agenda is to give freedom to the oppressed, and He will not be stopped. But our disobedience can frustrate Him. The church needs to get on God’s agenda quickly.

    A little book called “Kids’ Letters to Pastors” provides some fertile ground this morning for us to begin thinking about getting on God’s agenda. You see, you and I know the words we are supposed to say, whether we mean them or not. But kids say what they think, without editing. And so I suspect ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,875 views

    The Lord warned of persecution on His behalf - this is Our Portion. This passage provides an excellent example of how Christians and the Church should react to it.

    OUR PORTION Acts 4:23-31 INTRODUCTION: A. Acts 4:23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. 1. There has been quite a bit of fall out over one little healing and the preaching of the gospel. a. In Acts ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 9,406 views

    For Lent and for Black History Month: Those who are threatened by progress will always ask us not to go too far. But this church must not stop reaching all people, serving all needs, touching all children and youth.

    In the fall of 1955 I sat in the auditorium of the Speed Scientific School at the University of Louisville, one of about 300 newly admitted engineering students. The dean welcomed us, and yet also warned us. He instructed us, “Look at the person on your right. Now look at the person on your ...read more

  • The Importance Of Embracing Lost People Series

    Contributed by Clinton Smith on Feb 18, 2008
     | 5,726 views

    This sermon encourages the believer to embrace lost people as the father embraced his rebellious son.

    As Jesus moves through these stories, He is placing greater and greater emphasis upon the value of the thing lost. In the illustration of The Lost Sheep, there was 1 sheep out of 100 missing, just 1%. In the illustration of The Lost Silver, there was 1 coin out of 10 missing, 10%. In the ...read more

    Now when John in prison heard about the activities of Christ, he sent a message by his disciples and asked him, "Are you the Coming One, or should we wait for someone else?" Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John what you hear and observe: the blind see,

    We’re in Matthew Chapter 11 this morning - a scene taken from the final days of the life of John the Baptist, and a bizarre scene it is! John has been sent to prison, though he probably did not realise at this stage that he was not going to be released - indeed, that he was about to be put to ...read more

  • Jesus Was Tempted!

    Contributed by David Smith on Feb 20, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,966 views

    For Jesus, as for us, overcoming temptation was not a one-off fight. The temptation experience that we read of today was, if I might extend the boxing analogy, more like one...

    It’s the first Sunday in Lent and we’re back in the wilderness with Jesus.Every year we make this journey - 40 days and 40 nights it lasts! - and every year it continues to be a painful trek (as I think it‘s expected to be). And I’m conscious of the fact that a lot of ink (real and virtual) has ...read more

  • The Splendor And The Suffering! (Matthew 17:1-9)

    Contributed by David Smith on Feb 20, 2008
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,340 views

    There is much about God and about Jesus Himself that I do not understand, but perhaps that’s because there’s a lot I’m not expected to understand and don’t need to understan...

    Welcome once again to Transfiguration Sunday. We remember the transfiguration every year at about this time, though frankly it snuck up on me this year, otherwise I probably would have flicked this week’s sermon over to one of my esteemed colleagues. Indeed, up till yesterday I thought we were ...read more

  • A Tale Of Ten Lepers (A Sermon On Luke 17:11-19)

    We want to get on with life, and we should move forward with joy, but we must remember too to look back in thankfulness! Moving forward in faith while looking back in gratit...

    I remember hearing of a rural vicar in England whose bicycle went missing. The man relied exclusively on his bicycle to get around his little parish, and he knew things like bicycles didn’t just disappear into thin air, so he put two and two together and figured out that someone in the parish - ...read more

  • The Final Stoush! (A Sermon On Luke 21:5-19)

    Contributed by David Smith on Feb 20, 2008
     | 4,865 views

    We take on the forces of darkness in whatever area of the battlefield God has placed us, and maybe wexre confronting legal corruption, or maybe it is a political problem, or...

    Ange and I have had a lousy week. I know that’s not a great way to begin a sermon, and I’m not only saying this as an excuse for saying, ‘sorry, but you’re getting a lousy sermon’, but the truth is that we have had a lousy week. It began really with Marrickville Council rejecting our application ...read more

  • Without Hindrance Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 24, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,067 views

    For Lent and for Black History Month, with a focus on Africa: the purposes of God will be accomplished, though not without difficulties and sacrifice. Examples of African Christians to show this truth.

    I cannot imagine how Paul did it. Here he is, in prison, chained to a soldier, and he is talking about hope and making plans for the future. How can anyone with half a brain do that? Does he not understand how perilous is his predicament? Chained! Awaiting trial! And yet he can say, “It is ...read more

  • The Deserving Poor?!

    Contributed by David Smith on Feb 26, 2008
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,180 views

    So was the ’Lazarus’ we read of in Luke chapter 16 really a good man, and was his rich neighbour really a greedy, money-grabbing, tight-fisted, slave-driver? Don’t know, not...

    I had a guy at my door on Friday night who asked rather aggressively, “where do I go to get a meal around here?” I said back to him, equally aggressively, “where do you normally go for a meal?” He said, “I want a meal.” I said, “mate, it’s outside hours, I don’t know you, and I’m not giving you any ...read more
