Sermons on Jesus Rejected:

Let Us Alone That We May Serve ….

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 9, 2022

Have you noticed that many things in life do not seem to change? For example, in our text, God delivered the Children of Israel from Egypt. But once they were delivered from Pharaoh, he changed his mind and decided to pursue after them and to bring them back.

When the Israelites saw them in pursuit, the Bible says, “…They were sore afraid…” In that fear they turned to Moses and said something that was very disturbing. We read, “…And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore ...read more

Blessing In Disguise (1 Samuel 30)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 26, 2025

Is rejection sometimes a blessing in disguise? Let's look at 1 Samuel 30.

Was David’s rejection by the Philistines and return home a blessing in disguise? Despite his horrendous sins, like plundering and murdering whole villages, why did God bless him? If God loved a man with so many faults like David, could He love us too? Let’s continue in 1 Samuel 30. Was it God’s ...read more

Behold The King: The Cross Before The Crown

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 26, 2018

God’s desired will — with omissions and out of sequence — is no longer God’s will. The cross could not be bypassed. Jesus had to wear the crown of thorns before He could wear the crown of the Kingdom.

Behold The King: The Cross Before the Crown (Various Portions of the Gospels) 1. One blogger writes, “Today, I was waiting at the bus stop and noticed a girl that I played netball with.

"Living Stone" 1 Peter 2:4-10 Series

Contributed by Lonnie Erwin on Feb 27, 2015

Jesus said that a wise man will build upon the "rock" for solid foundation and the foolish man would build upon the "sand" and the foolish man house would not stand. We as "living stones" must build upon "Rock" for our spiritual house to stand.

Introduction: Peter use the text from Psalm 34:8 as he writes to the Christian "you have tasted that the Lords is gracious" in the previous verse (2:3). Then Peter states that we have tasted the milk of Word as he refers to Jesus Christ. After believers have purged their lives from the unwholesome ...read more

Come Unto Me: An Exposition Of Matthew 11:16-30

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Jun 27, 2020

Jesus' invitation to come to Him has an "or else" component to it.

Come Unto Me: An Exposition of Matthew 11:16-30 The Gospel lectionary text selection for what is called Proper 9, seems at first to be quite odd.
