  • The Responsibility Of The Watchman Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 12, 2024
     | 1,227 views

    A challenging passage on the essential responsibility of the spiritual watchman. How does this idea apply to today?

    IN ANCIENT DAYS: There would be a watchman on the city wall to warn of impending danger. - Ezekiel 3:17. - 2 Samuel 18:24-27; 2 Kings 9:17-20. - In ancient times there was literally a watchman on the city wall, scanning the horizon for danger. When an army appeared, the quick alarm spread by the ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 10, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 960 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

  • The Antidote To The ‘kindly Grandfather’ God Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 16, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,241 views

    This passage is a stark contrast to the "kindly grandfather" image of God that many had. What are the specific ways that shows up here?

    JUDGMENT-FREE ZONE: Many people like to think of God as a kindly grandfather. - Ezekiel 5:1. - There is a popular conception of God as a kindly (and slightly senile) grandfather in the sky. He’s not going to rebuke you for anything you’re doing. He’s going to ask if everyone had a good time. And ...read more

  • When Money Isn’t Valuable Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 29, 2024
     | 940 views

    This verse depicts a scene where formerly-valued gold and silver becomes worthless. What can we learn about money from this scenario?

    EZEKIEL'S PROPHECY: There will time when money won’t be valuable. - Ezekiel 7:19. - Earlier in the chapter (vv. 1-6), multiple references to the End. Other references in this passage to economic instability (vv. 12-13 on property). - Disaster and catastrophe will come upon this people. This ...read more

  • God Is Not Done With Israel Yet Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 19, 2025
     | 643 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 Most Unusual Parable Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 13, 2026
     | 130 views

    Why does this parable sound more like a life hack than a parable?

    - Some life hacks, according to people online (I haven’t tried these): - "For chores that I don't like to do (like washing a big pile of dishes), I set a timer for four minutes and tell myself I will do it for four minutes, and after the time goes off, I can stop if I want to. Just giving ...read more

  • Do We Want To Avoid Temptation? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 2, 2025
     | 373 views

    We finish up the Lord's Prayer sermon series with Jesus' words on temptation. Do they match how we normally approach sin in our lives?

    AVOIDING TEMPTATION: Do I want this for my life? - Matthew 6:13. - Now we come to the close of the Lord’s Prayer. Jesus has invited us to pray about a number of important subjects and now we have a final one about spiritual victory. - What does v. 13 mean? I think a summary statement would be ...read more

  • The Consequences Of Producing A Crop Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 5, 2025
     | 449 views

    After sharing the Parable of the Four Soils, Jesus tells us what the consequences in our lives of seeing that fruitfulness will be. This sermon unpacks four consequences of seeing a "crop" of God's fruitfulness in your life.

    - I need to start with a word that I use quite a bit in sermons: context. - It is essential that we don’t pull passages out of their original context and try to make them mean something that the original author didn’t intend. Further, we need to look at what comes before and after to see if that ...read more

  • Jesus On Family Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 12, 2025
     | 434 views

    It's easy to overlook just how radical a statement Jesus makes here. He is doing nothing less than fundamentally redefining the family. What are the implications of actually living this out?

    ONE QUICK POINT BEFORE WE GET TO THE ACTUAL SERMON: The definition of a Christian is someone hearing God’s word and putting it into practice. - Luke 8:21. - Matthew 7:21, 24, 26; Matthew 12:50; John 7:17; John 14:23; John 15:10; 1 John 2:17. - Jesus says something here that is crucially ...read more

  • What Does It Mean To "make Every Effort" To Enter The Kingdom? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 10, 2025
     | 189 views

    This passage has two troubling phrases: "make every effort" and "try . . . and not be able." What are we to do with those? And do they mean that God is setting up difficult barriers to get into the Kingdom?

    WHAT DOES "MAKE EVERY EFFORT" MEAN? It doesn’t mean that it’s nearly impossible but that you should focus your attention. - Luke 13:22-24a. - Jesus is asked an important question: “[A]re only a few people going to be saved?” (v. 23). - That's a great question. What is the nature of ...read more

  • Five Fundamentals Of Jesus’ Relationship With Israel Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 16, 2025
     | 97 views

    This passage closes out this section and gives us five insights into Jesus' troubled relationship with Israel.

    - This passage provides a nice coda to the section that we have been working through. When taken as a whole, I think these few verses recenter us to the heart of who Jesus was and what He was doing. In particular, this passage highlights Jesus’ relationship with Israel. Of course, that is a ...read more

    All of us will face tough times! Do we have the strength to hang tough during such times? It is difficult to remain faithful during trying times; however, the Lord will give you strength for such times. In Revelation 2:8-11 we find a group of people who were facing trying times. The people were the ...read more

  • Changing The World In A Moment

    Contributed by John Pierce on Jan 30, 2006
    based on 7 ratings
     | 3,462 views

    When we share our faith, we have the chance to change the world for an individual, and perhaps even thousands of people, in a moment.

    Change the World In a Moment It was likely a day as any other. The work day was over and she was looking forward to spending time at home doing the things she did each night. To look at her, you would not see anything but another woman heading home after a long day at work. You would not see ...read more
