     | 4,715 views

    There is NO room for judgment when their is sin in our own lives, this sermon shows God's plan for judging other and the downfall of it being done improperly.

    JUDGMENTAL JUNK (All my sermons use illustrations are found on www.sermoncentral.com and all scripture is NIV unless otherwise noted) This Sermon is preceded by a small puppet skit entitled “Mr. Teacherdude” and the scripture 2 COR 5:16-17 which says: So from now on we regard no one ...read more

    Contributed by Robert Joseph on Oct 13, 2010

     | 9,638 views

    If we fill our mind with heavenly things--as Colossians 3:1-2 instructs--we'll gradually become spiritual.

    FALL IN LOVE—WITH THINGS ABOVE By Robert Joseph In January of 1997, astronaut John Blaha returned to earth after spending the previous four months aboard the Russian Space Station, Mir. Besides conducting various experiments, his mission was to help scientists understand the effects of ...read more

    Healed Hearts Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 19, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,137 views

    The fearful heart cannot accept what God offers; but the healed heart receives freedom from shortcomings, confidence before the world, and liberty from becoming a controller of others.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC; November 23, 1986 By now you are probably weary of heart, this several weeks of dealing with what I have called, "heart diseases." By now you may have felt that everything that could be said about the heart in a Biblical reference had been said, maybe ...read more

    Hitting Rock Bottom: The Younger Brother

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 19, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,930 views

    The prodigal succumbed to temptations all of us face: money, sex and power. He survived because he stopped denying his reality and received the grace of the father.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC June 26, 1988 It is frequently said about alcoholics that they have to hit rock bottom before they can be helped. The usual understanding is that because of the nature of the disease, the behavior called alcoholism, the person who suffers as a ...read more

    Fear And Integrity

     | 4,053 views

    Done as three monologues: fear compromises integrity, and a compromised integrity breeds more fear.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC July 13, 1986 Human beings are creatures plagued with fears and insecurities. That we have clearly established, that we talked about in certain ways last week. Of course we are a great deal more than that too. We are vastly more than a bundle of ...read more

    A Bookkeeping Nightmare

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,864 views

    Forgiveness is an act of understanding how much God has forgiven us; of the heart, making a changed spirit possible; and of the will, opening up all that God wants to do in us.

    First Baptist Church of Gaithersburg, MD, October 4, 1979; Cresthill Baptist Church, Bowie, MD, June 8, 1980; Calverton Baptist Church, Silver Spring, MD, May 16, 1982; Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC November 24, 1985 Back in my early teen years I was a Monopoly freak.

    First Thank God Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 14, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,281 views

    Initial sermon of interim pastorate. As Paul lived into relationship with God prior to theologizing, I thank God for the faithfulness in the congregation’s history; for mutual enrichment in its diversity; and for coming victory when no one need be ashame

    God is not a problem to be solved. God is a mystery with whom we are to live. God is not an equation to be worked out in mathematical precision; God is personal, with whom we connect. God is a who, a where, and a when -- acting, living, and doing; and if God is sometimes a what and a why, an ...read more

    Getting On God's Agenda

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 16, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,970 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

    Second Chance In Christ Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 21, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,518 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

    Three Coins In The (Spirit) Fountain Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 28, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,035 views

    Everyone wants fulfillment. Some try being good, but that only brings smugness. Some try religion, as Luther did, but that brings only busy-ness. Life and peace are found in the Spirit of God as our companion.

    When I look deep down and ask myself what I really want out of life, one answer keeps coming back over and over: I want meaning. I want significance. I want fulfillment. When I look deep down and ask myself what I really want for my life, I know that the accumulation of things is not it. These ...read more

    Lofty Lord, Live Lips, Long Layby

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 28, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,564 views

    Where do we get the motivation to keep doing what the Lord wants us to do? We affirm that we are called by a God of power, who is able to equip us; He will give us victory eventually even though it may come slowly (Deacon Ordination Sunday).

    This evening two very good football teams will face each other under the dome. The outcome will hinge not only on physical condition and coaching strategy and just plain luck; it will hinge also on motivation. Who really, really wants to win? Who is hungry to win? One of the great personal issues ...read more

    On Your Mark, Get Set, Grow

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 28, 2009
     | 8,846 views

    Growth can come by pruning, cultivating, or simply letting it happen. God wants the church to grow, and all these methods are used.

    Growth takes place in one of three ways. Things grow because one of three things happens. First, some things grow just because it is in the very nature of those things to grow. You don’t have to do anything, you don’t have to feed them or nourish them or encourage them. Some things just grow. ...read more

    Rahab: Marked By Scarlet Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 29, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 12,720 views

    God is ready to forgive all sinners and use them for His purposes; and God’s people must receive them, no matter the nature of their sin, for all have sinner and are forgiven. (Spools of scarlet thread were distributed for people to unroll and hold).

    Soon through your hands will be passing a scarlet thread, a scarlet cord. I do not say a red cord, but a scarlet cord. Scarlet, you see, is a special kind of red color. The art books tell us that scarlet is a bright red with just a tinge of orange in it. And scarlet has some special ...read more

    The Land Of The Midnight Sun Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 1, 2009
     | 4,888 views

    Our culture has lived in sheer optimism, but that time is fading. We must seize the opportunity to minister while it is here; and if we do so, we will see bountiful rewards.

    My besetting sin, if you must know, is procrastination. Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow, for somehow tomorrow always seems to be even more than only a day away. It seems to be an eternity away, and so what if I do not do today what my To-Do list says I am to do? Who will know ...read more

    Playing The Fool

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 5, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,800 views

    Sarcasm betrays anger at ourselves or at others, but we cannot let it fester. We need to come to the Cross, where there is reconciliation.

    Words have power. The things we say to one another have power. Kids may deal with smart-mouths in the schoolyard by chanting, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me." But that’s rubbish! Don’t you believe it? Names do hurt. Words hurt. The things we say to each other do ...read more
