    Contributed by Jim Butcher on May 1, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,356 views

    Why was Jesus so sharp in His rebuke of the disciples when they woke Him and told Him about the storm?

    ISN'T THAT A LITTLE HARSH? Why does Jesus rebuke the disciples for what seems a pretty reasonable request? - Matthew 8:25. - Why are the disciples chastised for what seems a pretty reasonable response? Wasn’t fear a reasonable response? - Most of us would look at that situation and say, ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on May 14, 2013
     | 5,212 views

    A look at how we should respond when an uncomfortable word of rebuke comes our way.

    [Drama idea: Frame as a cheesy commercial. Three people on a pew, two getting convicted and visibly uncomfortable (squirming, facial agitation), one blithe and unconcerned. After a while, the other two ask him how he’s not bothered. He shows off his steel-toed boots. He got the ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,409 views

    A look at how and why we settle for less than God's best.

    WHY DO WE SO SELCOME SEE GOD DO GREAT THINGS? Often in our spiritual lives, we become content with second-best plans. - Genesis 17:16, 18. - Abraham had so come to accept his Plan B (having Ishmael by Sarah’s maidservant) that when God speaks of the fulfillment of His original great promise ...read more

    Why It's So Easy To Shift From Honoring God To Mocking Him

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on May 22, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,632 views

    A look at the mock "worship" that the soldiers give Jesus and five ways we too often mock Him in our everyday Christian lives.

    THE SOLDIERS' MOCKERY: The soldiers’ “worship” was a mockery because their actions and words didn’t match their heart. - Mark 15:16-20. - It’s interesting when you dig down into the passages just how much they mimic a worship experience in their mockery of Jesus: a. ...read more

     | 5,767 views

    A look at how often we choose our peace and our property over standing up to the evil in the world.

    [Open sermon with "Bubble Creek Canyon" video from BluefishTV.com] OUR PRAYER: We want to be insulated and isolated from the evil in the world. - Matthew 8:28, 32-34. - There are two mentions of violence in this passage. - First, there are two men who are demon-possessed.

     | 13,942 views

    A look at four keys to avoid hypocrisy in our lives.

    WHAT IS SO BAD ABOUT HYPOCRISY? For the Christian, it’s the false security; for the non-Christian, it’s the disillusionment that happens when you look closely at Christians’ lives. - Luke 12:1 – “hypocrisy.” a. For the Christian, it’s the false ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 7, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 19,475 views

    A look at why we get tired of serving God and His reactions to the "pity parties" that we throw ourselves.

    [This is a long outline with a lot of points and is therefore probably more suited to a Wednesday evening study.] "I DON'T WANNA!": There are times in the Christian journey when we get tired of serving the Lord and we throw a pity party. - Jeremiah 20:14-18. - We whine and complain and fuss and ...read more

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

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 10, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,756 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

    When God Seem To Be Asking For Too Much From You

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 25, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,956 views

    A look at the conditional obedience we often offer God, in comparison with Joseph's complete and costly obedience.

    ASKING TOO MUCH? Often our willingness to obey God comes with a pre-set spending limit. Main illustration: An American Express card vs. a Walmart pre-loaded card. This is a Walmart pre-loaded card with $50 on it. If I give it to you, you can buy whatever you want. . . up to $50. This is an ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,726 views

    A look at some of the major reasons that God doesn't always answer our prayers when we want Him to.

    A Nagging Question: Why does God make us wait? - Genesis 15:1-3. The questions linger in our minds. Even someone with as great a faith as Abraham struggled with these questions. I want to look at some of the main reasons that He makes us wait. I realize this is not as good as telling you that ...read more

    based on 17 ratings
     | 16,144 views

    When the calendar turns to a new year, many of us take the time to reflect on the past. We think about the good times and the difficult times we have been through. We think about opportunities we might have missed or things we might have done better. That

    Here we are at the beginning of a new year. At the Watchnight service, we talked a little bit about resolutions. I don’t know whether you make resolutions or not, but what I do know is that you have probably done some reflecting on the past year. That what we do when the calendar turns. ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Feb 15, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,432 views

    It’s a wonderful thing when people finally decide to obey God and get busy doing the work He’s called them to do. But there’s always a problem when we decide to get to work, isn’t there? The problem is not necessarily that work’s hard. Most people don’t m

    Week before last, we started looking at this little book of Haggai. And we saw how the Jewish remnant had been in exile in Babylon for many years. The temple had been destroyed, Jerusalem had been destroyed, and they were far away from home. But after a period of time, God allowed them to come ...read more

    based on 25 ratings
     | 16,155 views

    No matter how bad we’d like to, we can’t undo the past. God is all-powerful but there are some things He won’t do. He will not change the past. But he’ll do something even better. Even though He won’t change the past, He will give you a fresh start for th

    Do you ever wish you could just start over? Staples has made a fortune with their easy button commercials. It would be nice if there was such a thing as an easy button, but you know what I’d rather have? I’d rather have an undo button. Can you imagine having a button that allowed ...read more

    When you’re knee-deep into a project, you can tell how well things are going and they weren’t going well for the people in today’s passage. God promised the people a fresh start, but that didn’t change the fact that what they were called to do was impossi

    Have you ever faced something that looked impossible? Maybe you were diagnosed with something that seems impossible to overcome. Maybe you’re facing a family crisis and you can’t see the way out.
