    The word of God contains nothing but trustworthy sayings. 1- If we died with Him, we will live 2- If we endure, we will also reign 3- If we disown Him, He will disown us 4- If we are faithless, He remains faithful

    INTRO.- Is this a trustworthy saying? “When I served in Vietnam....” ILL.- It’s called “Blumenthal’s Blunder” (Conn.

    This is a sermon that deals with how close someone can come to accepting Christ but still be lost.

    Simon Says! I assume everyone here at one time or another has played the game Simons say. One person calls out the commands but unless you add the phrase, “Simon Says” to it, you are not to do it. It was the jumping on one foot that always got me. My grandbabies love to play it with me.

    Today we will turn to examine what Jesus had to say about giving. And we will ask what giving looked like to Jesus. The passage in Luke 14:15-33 is considered one of the "Hard Sayings of Jesus". And indeed, it takes a bit of explanation to make sense of it.

    Jesus and Giving Text: Luke 14:15-33 Luke 14:25-33 (NIV) 25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my ...read more
