  • Out Of Sight

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 4, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,419 views

    For Ascension Sunday: Whether we work diligently when our supervisor is out of sight is a measure of commitment and character. Compare Matthias, who took a job he did not ask for; and Joseph Justus, who was passed over.

    When you see your supervisor, you work. When you do not see your supervisor, you may work, but your work style is likely to slow down. The difference between those two things is the measure of your character and your commitment. When you see your supervisor, you work diligently. You know that ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,650 views

    To truly understand where we are going in life, we need to know the if the one who is leading us has the correct directions or if he/she are following someone else.

    How many of you in here tonight have heard of the GPS Navigational System? Its main purpose is to keep you from getting lost. But if the truth were known, the easiest way to get to a specific destination is either to know where you are going before you leave or to follow someone who already knows ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,367 views

    How do we as Christians make judgments without being judgmental? Jesus continues to teach his disciples the way of the heart.

    INTRODUCTION 1. ILLUSTRATION: A few years ago, a church in Oklahoma expelled a woman for immorality. When she filed a lawsuit against the church, the story made all the national news media. One of the shows to give the lawsuit coverage was Phil Donahue and on that show, I think the attitude of ...read more

     | 3,019 views

    While keeping the famous "Ask, Seek, & Knock" passage in context with the Sermon on the Mount, we can still learn some awesome principles regarding prayer.

    INTRODUCTION ILLUSTRATION: PRAYER’S BEST POSITION Three ministers were talking about prayer in general and the appropriate and effective positions for prayer. As they were talking, a telephone repairman was working on the phone system in the background. One minister shared that he felt the key ...read more

    I. INTRODUCTION A. The Dangers of In/Out of Context 1. Key Verse of S.O.M. - Matthew 5:20 a. The Setting - Jesus Has Just Called The Disciples All they had for examples before Jesus was the Pharisee and Scribes. Jesus needed to show them his way of life was different. b. The LAW was all they had ...read more

  • It's About The Heart Series

    Contributed by Steve Smith on Oct 8, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,427 views

    Jesus finishes the great Sermon on the Mount teaching the disciples that it’s all about the heart as the heart exposes one’s foundation.

    INTRODUCTION A. The CLOSE We come today to close the Sermon on the Mount. I’ve heard it taught many days in ways that teach a section here and there and have learned that while there are many GENERAL PRINCIPLES giving regarding several subjects, a lot of what I’ve been taught has been taken out of ...read more

  • Getting On God's Agenda

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 16, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,974 views

    God’s agenda is to give freedom to the oppressed, and He will not be stopped. But our disobedience can frustrate Him. The church needs to get on God’s agenda quickly.

    A little book called “Kids’ Letters to Pastors” provides some fertile ground this morning for us to begin thinking about getting on God’s agenda. You see, you and I know the words we are supposed to say, whether we mean them or not. But kids say what they think, without editing. And so I suspect ...read more

  • Fate, Failure And Fig Trees (And Why Bad Things Happen To Good People)

    Contributed by David Smith on Oct 17, 2007
    based on 11 ratings
     | 4,670 views

    It’s the age-old theological question - why do bad things happen to good people? Jesus, as ever, doesn’t give us the response we expect.

    They say that philosophy deals with two sorts of questions: * Questions to which everybody knows the answer (eg. Do I really exist?). * Questions to which nobody knows the answer (eg. Why do I exist?). Religious teachers tend to deal the same sorts of questions, perhaps particularly questions ...read more

  • Do You Really Want To Follow Jesus?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 18, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,584 views

    We need to distinguish between needs and wants. Poverty can help us decide what we truly need; then we become eager to make happen what we truly want. Our relationship to God determines our priorities. Montgomery Hills Baptist Church

    Some things I need, it is true. But many of the things I think I need I do not truly need. I only want them, but persuade myself I need them. They are not needs; they are wants. And, deeper than that, many of the things I think I want I do not truly want. I just hope they will make me feel ...read more

  • Second Chance In Christ Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 21, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,521 views

    Deepening "whiles" become heightened "boasts". Weakness, sin, and enmity are our problems toward God. But in Christ there is help at the right time, conversion of consequences into positives, and sacrifical love for reconciliation.

    “We have a problem here.” That phrase, in one form or another, runs through much of human history. We have a problem here. You know it, if you remember 1995, as almost what astronaut John Swigert said from Apollo 13. “Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” Changed a little and immortalized by ...read more

  • The Parable Of The Sly Bastard (A Sermon On Luke 16:1-9)

    Contributed by David Smith on Oct 24, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,470 views

    If you want to know how to handle money, take your lead from this sleaze-bag criminal accountant in Luke 16, for he was smart enough to know the most valuable thing that you.

    One of the lads at Fight Club on Tuesday night approached me with a question: "You know that parable Jesus tells about the merchant who found the pearl of great price?”, he asked. “Yeah”, I said. “Well, I want to know who is the merchant in the story supposed to be?” This is not the standard sort ...read more

  • Hating Your Family For Jesus' Sake?! (A Sermon On Luke 14:25-33)

    Contributed by David Smith on Oct 24, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,838 views

    How can we hate our parents, partners and children? It has to be the most offensive exhortation Jesus ever gave - telling us that we have to hate the ones we love th most.

    As soon as I noticed that our Gospel reading today was the one that begins by telling us that we’ve got to ’hate our mothers and fathers’, I decided then and there to give my sermon today on Paul’s Letter to Philemon! No, as much as I’d like to do that, I feel I have to stick with "hate your ...read more

  • Faithful Servants (A Sermon On Luke 12:35-40)

    Contributed by David Smith on Oct 24, 2007
    based on 14 ratings
     | 20,285 views

    Following Jesus: It’s long hours, hard work, costly, and a little bit crazy, but would we ever consider changing positions and serving someone else? Not a chance!

    I thought that I finally had a totally positive sermon for you today! I’ve been under rather trenchant criticism of late for repeatedly giving sermons focused on the theme of judgement and on the hard path of discipleship, and I admit that I have been looking for that text, "Come to me, all ye who ...read more
