    Turning Complaints Into A Celebration

    Contributed by Paul Sizemore on Oct 10, 2016
     | 7,044 views

    Jesus was often judged harshly by the religious authorities in his day. The Pharisees and the scribes believed wrongly that he was condoning the sins of people whose company he shared. Instead Christ came to make of them "new creations" (2 Cor. 5:17).

    “Turning Complaints into a Celebration” Luke 15:1-10, Proper 19-C September 11, 2016 “Grumble”: It’s an interesting word isn’t it? And here we find it in the second verse of our Gospel lesson today. “And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying: ...read more

    Paul gives practical instructions to Titus about teaching the value of mentoring

    Last week we talked about the value of relational discipleship. Mentoring—man to man. We saw that Paul wrote Titus with instructions on what to teach to the believers and conditions that should be present that would qualify an older man to be a mentor to a younger man.

    based on 14 ratings
     | 7,366 views

    The Pharisees can't see why Jesus would want to "eat with such scum?" (Matthew 9:11). JESUS AGREES THAT THEY ARE SCUM! He just says, "Healthy people don't need a doctor-sick people do." (Matthew 9:12). There it is again - REDEMPTIVE POTENTIAL.

    Part 2 - Matthew 9:9-13 - JESUS, DID YOU JUST CALL ME SCUM? In Kiev, MONEY CHANGERS sit in little booths with a small window. You can't see their faces and they mutter to you in Russian as you hand over American dollars in exchange for Grivnas. Whenever I exchanged money I seemed to be getting ...read more

     | 7,180 views

    The prophet Jeremiah faced rebuke, mockery and loneliness and stood transparent before God and lifted his state of depression to the LORD.

    God’s Promises Weighed on the Balance Scales In your mind’s eye, please see a set of balance scales. Balance scales are the type we see the blind lady of justice holding, where a heavier weight tilts in that direction but even weight balances out perfectly. This reading is particularly relevant ...read more

    Every one of us, at the end of every day, should ask the same question: are we the first son or daughter, who refused, or the second, who said “yes, sir,” but didn’t do?

    26th Sunday in Course 2020 Anyone who has raised more than one child can empathize with the parent in this story from St. Matthew’s Gospel. In fact, it’s a little like the story of the Prodigal Son from St. Luke. Dad says to the first son, presumably the oldest, “Go work in the vineyard today.” He ...read more

    "When ‘bad Luck’ Knocks Us Down” Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 4, 2023
     | 1,460 views

    The story of Joseph being sold into slavery provides a compelling example of moments when it seems like "bad luck" has come our way when God may be up to something else.

    WHY DID THAT HAPPEN? There are moments when we feel like bad luck knocked us down. - We will get into the specifics that this passage details as we go through the sermon, but this is obviously a passage with some “just-so-happened” moments. - To use the common vernacular, someone might say, “Oh, ...read more

    Thanksgiving or complaining -- these words express two contrasting attitudes found in God’s children in regard to His dealings with them. The soul that gives thanks can find comfort in everything; the soul that complains can find comfort in nothing.

    At one time or the other we all come to a place of Marah (bitter).but then bitter or better, is really our choice. We cannot choose what comes to us, but we can choose how we respond to it, and that is what determines whether we become bitter or better.

    MARAH IS NOT THE END OF LIFE’S JOURNEY. “And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they [were] bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? And he cried unto the LORD; and the ...read more
