     | 5,783 views

    This passage not only lets us know that it's possible to live a life that pleases God, it then goes on to share four things present in that kind of life.

     | 3,223 views

    A look at how the Jews' rejection of Jesus opened the door for our salvation.

    The Storyline: - We’re going to be relatively brief in this first part and then spend a little more time on the later parts. 1. Jesus is born “King of the Jews.” - Matthew 1:1-17; Matthew 2:1. - Notice that He is born King of the Jews. There is nothing else He needed to do ...read more

    Why Would God Be Willing To Forgive Someone Who Has Done What I Have?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 20, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,368 views

    Jesus is not only willing to forgive us - He is willing to make us clean. How do I experience that in my life?

    OUR DOUBT: Why would God forgive someone who has done what I have? - Mathew 8:2 – “if you are willing” - Acts 5:31; Acts 13:38; Ephesians 1:7; 1 John 1:9. - We doubt that God would be willing to forgive us. - We struggle to believe that God would be willing to mess with ...read more

    ASTROLOGERS?! REALLY?: God doesn’t care how little you know about Him. - Matthew 2:1-2 – “Magi” - The Christmas story and its details are so familiar to us that we fail to see the uncomfortable details that should shock us. - One such detail: Magi come to bow down to ...read more

    The Problem With Relying On Your Heart When Judging Right And Wrong

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 5, 2013
     | 2,574 views

    A look at the danger that comes with claiming that our conscience is the ultimate arbiter of right and wrong. We have traded blush on our cheeks for a shrug of our shoulders.

    GETTING RID OF SHAME: We frequently trade blushing for shrugging. - Jeremiah 8:12. - This is such a rich phrase here in verse 12 – they don’t even know how to blush. - Sometimes we act like the heart and conscience will always be a reliable artiber of what’s right and wrong, ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 6, 2013

    HOW TO AMAZE JESUS: Move forward confident that what Jesus said is settled. - Matthew 8:8-10. - In verses 8-9 the centurion says something simple but extraordinary. The soldier understands authority: he tells one of his underling soldier to do something and they go do it. He is a man of ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 13, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,672 views

    This passage deals with the myth that the Magi followed the Star of Bethlehem all the way to Jerusalem. In truth, the star disappeared and then reappeared after they were in Jerusalem. The message applies this phenomenon to the way that God often guides

    STAR OF BETHLEHEM MYTH: The Magi followed the star from their homes all the way to Jesus. - This is the version of the story that we’ve seen shared in countless Christmas plays, movies, and cards. - And, as we’re going to be discussing at several points in this series, the fact that ...read more

    What Do I Do When God’s Leading Doesn’t Add Up? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 20, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,830 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

    What Happens When We Get Tired Of Waiting On God’s Answer?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 20, 2013
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,383 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

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 27, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,684 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
     | 26,969 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
     | 3,543 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
     | 3,800 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
     | 7,398 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
