    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 27, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,688 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
     | 26,979 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
     | 3,553 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

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 12, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,807 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
     | 7,402 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

    Of All The Options For A Sign, Why Did God Choose Circumcision?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 23, 2013
    based on 2 ratings
     | 45,182 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

    When We’re Scared To Go Against What Everyone Else Is Saying

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,103 views

    A look at Pilate's desire to please the people and the ways that we often behave in the same way.

    AN EASY TEMPTATION: We want to satisfy the crowd. - Mark 15:15. - Most of us like being liked. We want people to approve of us. - And it is nice when everyone is backing what we’re saying or what we’re doing. - This is probably the most important phrase in our passage for ...read more

    Finding More Faith In The Face Of Life’s Storms

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on May 1, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,611 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

    How To Respond When Your Toes Get Stepped On

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on May 14, 2013
     | 5,729 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 1 rating
     | 10,336 views

    Three tough things God asks of us just as much as He did of Abram.

    Three Of The Toughest Challenges Of Our Walk Of Faith: - What we’re going to see here is that Abram’s physical journey is a picture of our spiritual journey. - Most of us will not have to move physically to be obedient to Christ (though some will), but we all have to move spiritually to be ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,825 views

    A look at what repentace is and why it's so necessary.

    Basic outline: “It’s His Job, Right?”: We expect God to be merciful, but we forget that repentance is required. - Jeremiah 3:12b (merciful/angry forever). What’s It Look Like? Repentance is less a charge of emotion and more a change of direction. - Jeremiah 3:13b ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 26,066 views

    A look at God's complaints about Israel's shepherds and what that means for pastors today.

    OUTLINE: The Pastor Is God’s Representative, Right? There are a lot of Biblical references where God is displeased with pastors. - Jeremiah 3:15; Jeremiah 23:1-4; Ezekiel 34:1-31; Matthew 23:1-39. What A Good Shepherd Looks Like: 1. The focus is on the sheep, not the pastor. - Ezekiel ...read more

    What's Ahead For The Christian

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 16, 2012
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,810 views

    A look at four of the great things we can anticipate being in our future.

    The Big Idea: For the Christian, what’s ahead is better than what’s behind. - The specific context here is that things are going to be better for Israel. - In Romans 11 (see vv. 11-12, 28-29), Paul makes it clear that God is not done with Israel. - Those passages speak of how the ...read more

    Why Do We So Seldom See God Do Great Things?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on May 17, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,754 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
     | 7,130 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
