    Mercy Instead Of Sacrifice

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 11, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,415 views

    The Pharisees criticized Jesus for eating with tax collectors. They thought they were better than Matthew, as they went around acting holy. Outward show doesn’t determine a person’s relationship with God. It's about the heart.

    This morning I am going to touch on the subject of “hypocrisy.” It’s difficult to preach on this subject matter because none of us are without some form of hypocrisy in our life. Jesus told us not to point out the splinter in our brother’s eye until we have removed the log in our own eye (Matthew ...read more

    The mark of the church is reality. What is said and done is a true reflection of what they are inwardly.

    President Harry Truman enjoyed telling the story about a man who was hit on the head at work. The blow was so severe that he was knocked unconscious for an extended period. His family was convinced that he was dead. The funeral home was called, and the undertaker picked him up at the hospital. ...read more

    Eighth Sunday In Ordinary Time- Speck And Beam

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 11, 2022
     | 1,517 views

    Thomas Merton said, “Nothing is more suspicious in a man who seems holy, than an impatient desire to reform other men.”

    Many issues have both psychological and spiritual components as we hear today in our Gospel, “How can you say to your brother,‘…let me remove that splinter in your eye,’ when you do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye? The message is: Be careful of pointing out the shortcomings, moral ...read more

    We may have the things we need to get by, but if we don’t have Jesus, we don't have anything! We may look at people and they may have lots of things but if they don't have Jesus they don't have anything.

    Mark 8:11-Then the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him. 12-But He sighed deeply in His spirit, and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this ...read more

    The Day Of Reckoning Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Jul 15, 2022
     | 2,225 views

    In Romans 2:1-5, the Apostle Paul presents three principles by which God will judge sinful humanity on The Day of Reckoning. He does so on the basis of: 1) Knowledge (Romans 2:1), 2) Truth (Romans 2:2–3), and 3) Guilt (Romans 2:4–5).

    Romans 2:1–5. Therefore, you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. 3 Do you suppose, O ...read more

    Inside Out Christianity

    Contributed by Dwight Davis on May 17, 2024
     | 1,861 views

    So often, we Christians--like everyone else get caught up on the outward appearance of our physical bodies, our homes, our cars and our families. Even more dangerous than focusing on the "appearance" of these things, we quite often focus on the appearance of our Christianity.

    Have you ever met someone for the first time, and you were immediately struck by how nice-looking that person was? But after spending some time with them, all of a sudden, they didn’t look that good anymore? Not that their makeup got smeared or their toupee blew off; but once you talked to them and ...read more

    Out Of The Mouth Of Christians?!?!

     | 3,956 views

    "Out of the Mouth of Christians", is a study on those things that we do that sure do not meet up with the will of and the Word of God and often make incredibly poor impressions on the unsaved.

    "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ...read more

    The charge of hypocrisy, of not being sincere and genuine, of not practicing what we preach, is a charge that continues to plague the church

    Once there was a pair of identical twin brothers; one was a pastor, and the other was a physician. It was almost impossible to tell the two men apart. A woman approached one of them on the street and asked, "Are you the one who preaches?" "No," came the answer, "I'm the one who practices." ...read more

    Jesus gets tough on hypocrisy and worldly desires. All that stands in the way of the kingdom of God must go!

    Does Jesus ever say things that make you mad? Sometimes when we get close to someone and there are disagreements, we get mad at each other. Does that ever happen in your family?

    Shutting Down The Hypocrites, Especially Ourselves

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 30, 2024
     | 369 views

    Jesus, here in Mark’s Gospel, gives us a start on our understanding the proper response to hypocrisy.

    Thirty-first Sunday in Course 2024 How could you get a hypocrite to shut up? They are called “Karens” these days, which to me is an disrespectful misuse of a woman’s name. Nonetheless, no matter what you call that kind of behavior, pharisaical people are just about as irritating as one can be. ...read more
