    This is a sermon series for the six Sundays of Lent. I am using a wooden "Tau" cross on the platform and some examples of the instruments of torture the Romans used - a large spike, scourge/cat of 9 tails, spear, and crown of thorns. There is a teaching sheet below the sermon.

     | 3,834 views

    Paul writes that one should be more concerned about love, being saved, trusting the True God, getting close to God, and helping the fallen ones than being concerned about food sacrificed to idols.

    I Corinthians 8: 1-13 “Be more concerned about” What was not so good at Corinth was some of the rascals there Corinthian Christians composed of converted idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, thieves, drunkards, and swindlers (6:9-11). The church made up of people from such ...read more

    We're coming up on NFL football season. Autumn approaches. There is no greater idol in Wisconsin than Packer and Badger football season. Green Bay Packer season, of course, being the most important.

    “When we place our dependence in God, we are unencumbered, and we have no worry. In fact, we may even be reckless, insofar as our part in the production is concerned. This confidence, this sureness of action, is both contagious and an aid to the perfect action. The rest is in the hands of God – and ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 745 views

    Israel had just repented of idol-worship at Mizpeh. The Philistines, mortal enemies at the time, came close enough to cause Israel panic. Samuel prayed, the LORD delivered, and Samuel established the memorial stone of Ebenezer.

    Ebenezer: The Stone of Help (Based on a sermon preached Sunday evening, May 18, 2025 at New Hope Baptist Church near Fulton, MO. This is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: Ebenezer. The name reminds us (me, anyway) of some characters I’d rather forget—as in, Scrooge. The word almost ...read more

    Jesus told a story (parable) about two men who went to the Temple to pray. One man was changed, but the other remained the same. Let's take a look:

    (Based on a message preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO; not an exact transcription) Introduction: Some folks have become concerned about where they’re going when they die. I know of some who have asked, “Am I going to Hell when I die?” Today’s text, a story from Jesus about two people, ...read more

    Mission Festival Sermon: Through the power of the Cross and Resurrection, we are invited to be both builders and spiritual stones in the Spiritual Temple being built by God.

    I want to talk with you today about building, because you see, we’re builders. From the time we’re born, we start building. As babies, we spend all our energy and effort building bodies and vocabularies. As young adults, we build our knowledge and our skill. We build relationships with others. ...read more

    When we fail to keep God’s temple clean, God will clean it for us eventually and get our attention while doing it.

    WHEN GOD CLEANS HOUSE Matthew 21:12-16 INTRO As we read of the Temple being cleansed by Jesus for the extortion that was taking place there, we often focus our attention on the temple building. We often forget that once we accept Christ as our Savior, our bodies become the temple of ...read more

    Compelling look at the story of Jesus in the Temple from an innovative perspective (with scholarly support). A message for the whole church; not just parents. Good illustrations.

    Just before Jesus stepped into the spotlight, God raised up John the Baptist “to turn the hearts of the parents toward their children, and the disobedient toward the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” (Luke 1:17 NRSV) What does it look like when parents turn ...read more

    The Horror Of Violence Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 7, 2009
     | 3,931 views

    Jesus was, in fact, nonviolent, even when he used force to expel the merchants who desecrated the Temple. Violence is incompatible with human development.

    Feast of Dedication of St. John Lateran November 9, 2009 Let’s confront a misconception about today’s Gospel, and that has to do with Jesus and violence. What Jesus did to the moneychangers and pigeon salesmen who had coopted the Court of the Gentiles was to clean them out. He used force to ...read more

     | 9,526 views

    Laziness is a rebellion and wickedness and it brings destruction of the temple/body od Christ. As living stones we are called to live, be active in the building and not sit in the wall.

    Laziness Do you like to be called lazy? Of course not. Who would? But would you believe that the Holy word of God calls somebody lazy? Well, it does. So let’s start with pointing our fingers to someone who was described in the Bible as lazy - this is the safe start. Titus 1,12-13 : "Cretans are ...read more
