    A Living Hope

    Contributed by Jim Moynihan on Dec 7, 2020
     | 3,890 views

    Biblical hope is a sure thing, not a maybe thing.

    In his book, "Come Thirsty (pages 47-48)," Max Lucado tells a story of a little Haitian Orphan by the name of Carinette. He says that she lived in a different world, a world called, “home-to-be.” "See the slender girl wearing the pink shirt? The girl with the long nose and bushy ...read more

    Why Jesus Downplayed The Miracles Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 9, 2020
     | 3,110 views

    Jesus does back-to-back miracles: the mass feeding and then walking on water. But He downplays both miracles. Why would He do that?

    WHAT JESUS WALKING ON WATER ACCOMPLISHED: Seeing this miracle strengthened the disciples’ faith in Jesus. - John 6:16-21. - Matthew 14:28-33. - The disciples have just seen Jesus multiply the loaves. It is an incredible miracle that they got to see happen up close. - That evening, Jesus sends ...read more

    Why They Turned Down The Bread Of Life Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 15, 2020
     | 4,158 views

    This section is lengthy and confusing. There is a lot going on. This message unpacks it by focusing on five of the key reasons the crowd rejects Jesus here.

    - A couple things up front. - First, there is a lot in this passage, yet the passage needs to be taken together. A lot of ideas are brought out, but it’s all a cohesive whole. So we are going to cover a lot of ground this evening. - Second, there is so much in this passage that there are ...read more

    "five Things That Make Temptation More Difficult" Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 5, 2023
     | 1,434 views

    Joseph's encounters with Potiphar's wife provides a template of temptation that is difficult to overcome. What warnings do we get here?

    Five Things That Make Temptation More Difficult: 1. When you’re experiencing God’s favor. - Genesis 39:4, 21. - When God seems to be blessing everything you’re doing, it’s easy to start to presume on that. This is one reason why we often see pastors who are in the midst of a strong ministry get ...read more

    What Can I Expect From Christ As My Shepherd? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 19, 2025
     | 528 views

    The abject failure of the shepherds of Israel point to a Good Shepherd who will actually care for Israel.

    SCATTERED: God has concern for the weak sheep. - Ezekiel 34:4-6. - Matthew 9:36. - Let’s start with the accusation that God is bringing against the shepherds of Ezekiel’s day. - Just so we’re all on the same page: we obviously are not talking about literal shepherds. Rather, we are talking about ...read more

    When God Is Not Doing It For Us Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 20, 2025
     | 438 views

    God tells Israel that He is not doing this for their sakes but for the sake of His name. What can we learn from that?

    THE PROBLEM: God’s name is being profaned among the nations because of God’s people. - Ezekiel 36:22 (“My holy name, which you have profaned among nations”), 23 (“My great name, which has been profaned among the nations”). - The Hebrew word for “profane” here can also mean “defile, pollute, ...read more

    When Things Look Hopeless Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 26, 2025
     | 1,007 views

    We frequently look in other directions to try to see spiritual transformation for our churches. Our only hope is a move of the Spirit, who can bring the dead to life.

    DRY BONES: There are moments that seem hopeless. - Ezekiel 37:1-3a. - The immediate context here is the life of Israel. Things had become hopeless for them. - Their disobedience had led them to a place of despair and defeat. As they looked at their ability to stand up to their enemies, the army ...read more

    What Does It Mean That The Holy Spirit Has Been "poured Out"? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 10, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 759 views

    God promised that He will "pour out" His Spirit upon the house of Israel. It's a rich and evocative phrase. What does that mean for Christians today?

    A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM: Today in America we often see a powerless Christianity. - We see a church in America that is by many measures in decline. - The numbers attending have been decreasing for many years. - We have many churches that are closing and many more that are on life support. - The ...read more

    God Is Not Done With Israel Yet Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 19, 2025
     | 476 views

    This passage gives us insights into one key scene where we find that God isn't done with Israel yet.

    - It’s easy to read this passage vaguely. There are some nice phrases in there that you could use as pegs to hang a sermon on. One obvious one is the glory of God returning - it would be easy to write an inspiring sermon off that idea. - But there is another way to preach this passage and that is ...read more

    A Solid Starting Point For Effective Prayer Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 9, 2025
     | 571 views

    The beginning of the Lord's Prayer is the words "Our Father in heaven." This starts our prayer with the fact that we are asking for help. How does this phrase encourage us in that direction?

    - A couple opening points for the sermon series as a whole. - First, the Lord’s Prayer is a good antidote to our limited prayer life. - Many of us have prayer lives that are largely limited to asking for stuff, whether it’s for ourselves or for others. Now, that's a good thing to do, but ...read more

    When The Glory Of God Departs Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 2, 2024
     | 3,065 views

    The departure of the glory of God from the Temple was a milestone event. Was God forsaking His promises to Israel?

    - It’s worth noting as I get started this evening that this is a wild chapter with a lot of interesting and unusual details. Those parts of the chapter are worth a Bible study unto themselves to unpack those meanings. This sermon, though, is not that Bible study. - Instead, we will be focusing ...read more

    God’s Response When The Prophets Start Lying Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 27, 2024
     | 590 views

    This chapter is rich in details of what false prophets look like, what the practical consequences of false prophecy are, and how God will respond to false prophets.

    - [This is more of a Wednesday evening study. Lots of points.] WHAT MANY PRESUME: If the religious leaders are saying it, it must be from God. WHAT DOES THEIR FALSE PROPHECY LOOK LIKE? 1. It’s out of their imagination. - Ezekiel 13:2, 17-18. 2. They follow their own spirit. - Ezekiel ...read more

    Two Steps To Trouble Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Sep 4, 2024
     | 829 views

    An interesting "two step" phrase is repeated three times in this passage. It gives us insight into how what we believe in our heart creates hurdles in real life.

    TWO STEPS TO TROUBLE: 1. AN IDOL IS A SUBSTITUTE FOR GOD THAT WE PUT ON OUR HEART'S THRONE. - Ezekiel 14:3, 4, 7. - The triple repeat is interesting and significant. - An idol is the start of the problem. It’s a substitute God. - Let’s look at three examples. We’ll start with this step ...read more

    When Do We Take Pleasure In The Death Of The Wicked? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 21, 2024
     | 440 views

    A look at the ways we have allowed the culture war to make us hate those God called us to love as well as put secondary things first.

    - [Maybe put this made-up passage up on the screen or in the sermon outline.] - Imagine that there is a Romans 17. (I’m not going heretical here - this is just a thought experiment with a point.) Imagine that at the end of Paul’s letter he shared some additional advice. - Let’s say that Romans 17 ...read more

    When We Ignore The "signs" Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 24, 2024
     | 893 views

    This verse points out that the Sabbath was intended to be a sign but that Israel wasn't actually obeying it. What are some ways we do similar things today?

    GIVE ME A SIGN: God says here that the Sabbath was intended as a sign. - Ezekiel 20:10-12. - These verses tell us that God brought Israel out of Egypt. He gave them the Mosaic Law as a path toward life and peace. And one of the signs He gave them was the Sabbath. - What exactly does it mean that ...read more
