    When We've Given Up On God Coming Through For Us

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 10, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,754 views

    As time passes by, we lose our hope that God is going to fulfill the promises He's made. This message looks at why God delays and how we can maintain solid faith in the face of the waiting.

    [This is a long outline that might be better suited to a Wednesday evening Bible study.] WHY WOULD YOU LAUGH AT GOD? We laugh because we’ve given up hope. - Genesis 18:11-12. - The way verse 12 is phrased makes it obvious that she once harbored real hope that this would happen. The problem is ...read more

    Why Do We Ask Less From God Than He’s Willing To Give?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 12, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,091 views

    This message looks at the healing of the paralytic and asks why we settle for less than God's best when we ask from God. It then looks at four examples of how we do similar things today.

    - We want to begin with something that stands out early in the story: the fact that they obviously come for physical healing, but Jesus responds to the man by saying that his sins are forgiven. - Why would Jesus do that? Was He unaware of what they’d come for? (Obviously not.) Was He ...read more

    The Surprising Path To A Life Of Impact In The Age Of Facebook And Twitter Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 27, 2013
     | 7,478 views

    This message focuses on the need to impact lives with small acts of love. Doing that is compared to the idea of living a life of impact because someone has 1,500 Facebook friends.

    LIVES THAT HAVE IMPACT: Today many define impact in terms of Facebook friends, Twitter followers, and YouTube hits. - There is a presumption within many in our society today that having 1,500 friends on Facebook, a million followers on Twitter, or a YouTube video with 100,000 hits is evidence of a ...read more

    What Does It Mean To Count The Cost Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 30, 2013
     | 6,780 views

    A look at what it means to "count the cost" and why that's so essential. This message calls down the cheap gospel presentations that we so often make that have no mention in them of what it actually means to follow Jesus.

    CHEAP FAITH: Too often we offer salvation that’s straight from the discount bin. - Luke 14:28-32. - Our approach to evangelism is too often to present salvation as a low-cost, no-commitment offer. All you need to do is say you believe in Jesus! That’s it! There’s no mention of the need for ...read more

    What Does Jesus Think About "I Have To Find Myself"? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 8, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,974 views

    An examination of what it means to "deny yourself and take up your cross."

    JESUS' OPINION: Jesus says the path to life is not in “finding yourself” but in “denying yourself.” - Matthew 16:24; Mark 8:34. - I’m thinking of the stereotypical statement that is so common that it’s almost a cliché: “I’ve got to go find ...read more

    The Most "Irrefutable" Argument Christians Face In The Homosexual Debate

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 19, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,680 views

    One of the most powerful arguments in the homosexual marriage debate is “I didn’t choose my sexuality – it came naturally to me.” This message addresses that argument.

    - Let’s up front acknowledge a couple of things: a. Gay marriage is here to stay in America for the foreseeable future. That’s just a political reality. b. Christians who claim homosexuality is wrong are going to be in the minority for the foreseeable future. - I think it’s ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 19, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 33,133 views

    A look at Jesus' difficult (and frequently ignored) teaching that "whoever lose his life for me will find it." What does that mean? What does it look like to live that out?

    WHAT DOES "LOSE YOUR LIFE TO FIND IT" MEAN ANYWAY? It means to pursue Jesus’ path even at the expense of my desires. - Matthew 10:39; Matthew 16:25; Mark 8:35; Luke 9:24; Luke 17:33; John 12:25. - This is a foreign concept to many Christians. In the American church we largely ignore this ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 24, 2013
     | 4,264 views

    A look at some of the ways that we make up who Jesus is rather than digging into the Scripture to find out who He really is.

    WHY DO I NEED TO READ THE BIBLE IF I'VE ALREADY ACCEPTED JESUS? You have not just been called to believe in Jesus, but to follow Jesus. - Matthew 4:19; Matthew 8:22; Matthew 9:9; Matthew 10:38; Matthew 16:24; Matthew 19:21; Mark 1:17; Mark 2:14; Mark 8:34; Mark 10:21; Luke 5:27; Luke 9:23, 59, 61; ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,332 views

    This sermons gives practical advice on how to use the offensively (offensively as in offense and defense). What does it mean that the Bible is the sword of the Spirit - our one offensive weapon in the armor of God.

    [Skit idea: A guy talking big (“saved by God, power of Holy Spirit, etc.,” he has a sword of the Spirit) then when an enemy comes and engages him in battle, he cowers, girl-screams, hops backward in retreat, head tucked down, blindly and wildly waving his sword around in the general ...read more

    A look at how to use the Bible to defend ourselves against spiritual attacks. I include 8 specific examples of how this can happen in our lives.

    HOW CAN THE BIBLE BE USED DEFENSIVELY? Untruths threaten to push us down the wrong path. - Matthew 4:1-11; Ephesians 6:11; 1 Peter 5:8. - We talked last week about using the Bible offensively – using it to win spiritual victories. - This week we’re going to talk about using the Bible ...read more

     | 6,891 views

    This message gives some basic advice for those ready to begin reading the Bible regularly.

    [Possible skit: two people bragging about how much they’ve studied the Bible; get in an epic Bible trivia contest; as they give each other increasingly obscure questions and answers, they ignore or brush off people (the homeless person – “Do you know where I could get something to ...read more

     | 5,841 views

    A look at the self-centeredness that is encouraged by Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. The message then details what the Biblical idea of servanthood and how that leads to a life of impact.

    THE MOST COMMON "PRODUCT" OF FACEBOOK, TWITTER, AND YOUTUBE: We are self-centered, endlessly focusing attention on ourselves. - Philippians 2:3-4. - Let me acknowledge first that I am not saying that Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are intrinsically evil. They’re not. I use each and there ...read more

     | 9,323 views

    A look at four passages in Luke that help us to puncture the self-centered tendencies that come so naturally in our culture.

    WHAT JESUS EXPECTS: He told us to be servants, but it’s hard to know how to move in that direction in such a self-centered culture. - Luke 22:24-27. - It is a little difficult for us to understand how to be servants when we’re so used to being the center of attention: a.

    What Exactly Does It Mean That Jesus "Carried Our Diseases"?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 4, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 25,658 views

    A look at the peculiar phrase in Matthew 8:17 that Jesus "took up our infirmities and carried our diseases." It's an easy phrase to overlook, but what exactly does that mean?

    WHAT DOES VERSE 17 SAY? It tells us that Jesus “received our sicknesses” and that he “bore our diseases.” - Matthew 8:17. - We read right past that phrase without thinking about it, but when you pause on it there is a peculiarity to it. What exactly does that mean? - I ...read more
