    Jesus is honored by Matthew as his new Saviour. To show his acceptance of Christ as his Lord, he throws a party-a meal-in honor of Jesus. Things go well until some nay-sayes come. Jesus sets them stright and sends them packing to find the truth about Him.

     | 10,519 views

    In this sermon we observe six reasons why there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

    Scripture Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones once said that for a preacher the greatest book of the Bible should be one that he is expounding at the moment.

  • Invisible Man

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 27, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,454 views

    As Ralph Ellison helped us see racism as one group treating another as invisible, so today we need to discern who is invisible to us; and we need to see how Jesus is invisible to many until He is connected to the culture and until we make Him visible.

    "I am an invisible man." Those words, pecked out on an old typewriter one night in the Vermont hills, began a literary work of unparalleled beauty and power. Ralph Waldo Ellison; encouraged to make music and to write by his father; inspired by the civil rights activism of his mother, began to ...read more

    So what is a prophet? To many people the term prophets conjures up a vision of an weathered haggard person with a more than slightly, no very wild look in their eyes.

    First Baptist Church of Gaithersburg, MD: We avoid too much information because we know we will have to respond. Some escape into private piety; some escape from knowing themselves. But true bliss comes from knowing how to invest in Kingdom concerns.

Your preacher this morning is a walking example of that ancient truth. Too soon oldt und too late schmart. The ...read more
