    Run Turkey Run

    Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Nov 15, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,978 views

    Our rush to commercialize Christmas, even before Thanksgiving, shows that we have become unthankful for what we have, and greedy for more. Christmas has trampled Thanksgiving.

    Trampling Thanksgiving (Run, Turkey, Run) Psalm 100:1-5 I know some of you will find this hard to believe, but I don’t like to be controversial and cause a stink or alienate people. I will. And I have, and I probably will again… today… but I don’t like it… I like to ...read more

    The Dangers Of Greed And Materialism

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 26, 2025
     | 367 views

    Greed and materialism are dangerous traps that can lead to spiritual decline, broken relationships, moral corruption, and eternal loss. True contentment comes from trusting in God, not wealth. We must guard our hearts and pursue righteousness over riches.

    THE DANGERS OF GREED AND MATERIALISM By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Luke 12:15 – “And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.” Supporting Texts: 1 Timothy 6:6-10, Matthew 6:19-21, ...read more

     | 298 views

    Judas Iscariot's life is a tragic reminder of how greed, hypocrisy, and unrepented sin can lead to destruction. Despite being chosen by Jesus, he allowed the love of money and Satan’s influence to ruin his destiny.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF JUDAS ISCARIOT – BETRAYED JESUS FOR THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 26:14-16 "Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests and asked, ‘What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?’ So they ...read more

    Far too often in life we as the people of God become greedy and want a "Full Course Meal" Blessing... We need to learn how to appreciate the "Crumb" blessings in life!

    Awww, come on & give the Lord a praise in this house! He is worthy is he not! We bless God on today. You may be seated in the prescense of the Lord. This passage is pregnant with possibility, and I could really preach about 3 or 4 messages from this one text, I could talk about perserverance, or ...read more

    How the officials accused Jesus of deserving to die for breaking the law - and how the law ended up stating that very thing - but a different law.

    March 17, 2004 John 19:4-7 Pilate came out and said to the Jews, “Look, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him.” 5 When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!” 6 As soon as the ...read more

    Why did God send Philip witness to the Eunuch? This was an important official in Ethiopia. Why not send Peter, or John or one the other apostles?

    OPEN: On our vacation last month we went to Philadelphia. We took the guided tour of the city in a double-decker bus and saw various statues and parks, Betsy Ross’s home, as well as Benjamin Franklin’s grave. Our guide told us that people throw approximately $3000 in pennies on Franklin’s grave ...read more

    This book or scroll is the official document of the last days of human history. The world’s future is about to be unfolded before our eyes.

    There should be no break between chapters 4 & 5. We are still at the scene of the throne of God. Read verse 1. So God is seen sitting on His throne and holding a sealed book in His right hand. The book is sealed. It has never been opened. We must emphasize again and again that the book is ...read more

    This Roman officials faith would be labeled off the charts. He demonstrated complete trust in a word. Just speak the word…My servant will be healed.

    Just One Word. Matthew 8:5-10NLT The late Rev. Peter Marshall, great missionary to China, said these words, “If we all agreed to read one of the Gospels, until we came to the place that told us to do something, then went out to do it, and only after we had done it, begin reading again?

     | 9,695 views

    Although many church events and ministries are organized informally, God has appointed two kinds of official, recognized leadership for the local church: shepherds and servants, also known as Elders and Deacons (including deaconesses).

    Elders, Deacons, and Deaconesses (I Timothy 3:1-13) 1. Every church is different in some way when it comes to dividing up responsibilities. 2. The little church in the suburbs suddenly stopped buying from its regular office supply dealer. So, the dealer telephoned Deacon Brown to ask why. "I'll ...read more

    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

    In this sermon you'll meet a hardline immigration official and then a not very nice racist. Then ... when they have had their say ... perhaps you will meet Jesus.

    A version of this sermon was first delivered on 10th September 2006 at Holy Trinity Barkingside - a slightly amended version (with Part Three added) was delivered Sunday 21 July 2024 at St Barnabas Northolt.

    Everyone of us has the capability of displaying a spirit of generosity & kindness & goodness. There are other moments when we are hateful & hostile & greedy. And in each of us are those 2 diverse natures.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2015) Years ago, when our children were small, I learned a lot about being a parent. But then, as they got older, I began to forget what it was like to have young children around the house. But now, with ...read more

    Our hearts will be where our treasure is. Those who are greedy and anxious about stuff put their emphasis on worldly goods. Those who trust in God’s provision invest their hearts in heaven.

    All of us are stewards. Does that seem strange to you? Well, it shouldn’t. All of us have responsibilities over one corner or another of God’s household. Just as we have to look after our own households, we also have to look after the part of God’s household that he has given us ...read more
