    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 20, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,487 views

    A look at the fact that the Magi did not come to Bethlehem but to Nazareth. The sermon uses that truth to talk about following God's direction instead of the man's leading.

    STAR OF BETHLEHEM MYTH: The star led the Magi to Bethlehem. - We’ve all seen this in a hundred Christmas plays. - Unfortunately, it doesn’t happen to be the way that the Bible actually says the story happened. - This morning I want to talk about the way the Bible says the story ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 20, 2013
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,014 views

    A look at the consequences of trying to manufacture an answer rather than waiting on God to come through for us.

    OUR SITUATION: We have a real problem and God seems to be late. - Genesis 16:1, 3. - Verse 3 notes that they’d been living in Canaan for 10 years at this point. Ten years is a long time to wait, especially for something as meaningful as a child. - We don’t want to minimize the ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,248 views

    A look at Peter denying three times and at five examples of times when we are embarrassed of Jesus.

    EVERYONE LOVES JESUS IN CHURCH: Whether I’m embarrassed of Jesus often changes with a spike in the cost. - Mark 14: 27-31, 50, 67-68. - It’s easy to love Jesus when there’s no cost involved. It’s easy to love Him when there’s no pressure. - As the costs increase, ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 4, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 25,666 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

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 10, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,182 views

    A look at the negative reaction the Magi received when they arrived in Jerusalem. Often in our lives our attempts to follow God are not met with positive responses from those around us.

    THE RESPONSE THE MAGI RECEIVED IN JERUSALEM: Their question didn’t bring joy, but instead brought surprise, anger, embarrassment, and fear. - Matthew 2:1-7. a. Surprise. - Matthew 2:3. - The people are surprised by this news. We know this because of the response. No one has any idea ...read more

    Is Divine Forgiveness A Do-Over?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 12, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,464 views

    A look at how God's forgiveness does not always undo the consequences of our sin.

    OUR QUESTION: Why won’t God fix my problem? - We see Him blessing others and wonder why those same blessings are flowing toward us. - We see God move powerfully in another’s life and we wonder, “Why not me?” The problem might hearken back to past mistakes. - There are ...read more

    When You Don't Like Where God Is Leading You

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 19, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,101 views

    A look at struggles we have with the idea that God gets to shape us rather than us being in charge of our lives ourselves. What does it mean to let Him shape us like a potter shapes the clay?

    WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO BRING THAT INTO MY LIFE? We want to be shaped in the way we choose. - It can be painful to be shaped. - Like a potter pressing his fingers into the clay to mold it into a different shape would probably not “feel good” to the clay if it were sentient, so the ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 23, 2013
    based on 2 ratings
     | 44,278 views

    God could have had Abraham put a tattoo on his arm or any one of a thousand other signs, but instead He chose the sign of circumcision? Why in the world? And, beyond that, what relevance does that have for Christians today?

    OF ALL THE POSSIBLE OPTIONS FOR A SIGN TO THE ISRAELITES, WHY DID GOD CHOOSE CIRCUMCISION? The promise was a miraculous physical child that would be the father to a physical people, so the sign had to do with sex. - Genesis 17:4-13. - Notice in these verses all the physical signs: - v. 4 – ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 3, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,690 views

    A look at the surprising, scary words of Christ that few will be saved.

    “Everyone Goes To Heaven, Right?”: One of the most telling, surprising, shocking statements that Jesus ever made is that only a few find salvation. - Matthew 7:13-14; Luke 13:22-30. - You could say that this section (along with vv. 24-27) is the “invitation” of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount.

    How God’s Blessings Can Lead To Pride Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 17, 2015
     | 7,130 views

    A look at the ways that God's blessings can lead us away from Him. Uzziah provides a clear example of the problem.

    WHEN GOOD THINGS GO BAD: Sometimes God’s blessings lead people away from God. - 2 Chronicles 26:16. - This is not just something we see here. In the Mosaic Law, as God tells Israel that their obedience will lead to Him blessing, He then explicitly warns them that there is a great danger ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 22, 2015
     | 4,176 views

    Four insights on receiving more from the Word in worship.

    WHY DID THEY PUBLICLY READ THE SCRIPTURE? Because most of the church could not read. - 1 Timothy 4:13. - Why does Paul command for the Word to be read in worship? During that era (and the majority of the eras since), most of the church was illiterate, as was most of the population in general. ...read more

     | 7,054 views

    Some reflections on Nehemiah's opponents, Sanballat and Tobiah; sermon for a church about to vote on a building program.

    Last week as we spoke about Nehemiah and God’s vision for the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s wall, I hope one theme came through loud and clear: When God wants something, He’s going to get what He wants. The only question for us is, “Who is on the Lord’s side?” In ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 14, 2010
     | 4,776 views

    This message looks at how churches and Christians tend to view other churches and believers with jealousy. How can we move beyond that and find more joy?

    Ways We Lose Sight Of The Goal In Our Kingdom Work: 1. Resenting another person or church’s rising popularity. - John 3:25-26. - Considering that John had repeatedly spoken to his disciples about Jesus and who He is, their resentment is stunning. - First of all, they don’t even have ...read more
