    When The Door Is Shut

    Contributed by Daniel Austin on Sep 7, 2010
     | 12,693 views

    To find the door we must find Christ. To know the way we must know Jesus but to enter in, Jesus must know us for salvation is from God through Jesus.

    When The Door Is Shut 09/13/09 AM Text/Reading: Luke 13:22-30 Introduction I was listening to a radio broadcast on a local Christian radio station while on the way into work one morning and there was a discussion that revolved around opportunities in life and one of the speakers made the statement: ...read more

    Are You Saved?

    In the Pharisees' hammering out of the truth, they missed Jesus' point. The real question wasn’t, “How many are going to be saved?” The real question was, “Are you going to be saved?”

    Intro Swollen and bloated with pride, convinced their conclusions were correct, the Jewish rabbis hunkered down to refute the other side. So who was the other side? They were other Jewish rabbis. Some of them were saying that everyone who was Jewish would be saved. Others were saying that only ...read more

    The Narrow Door

    "Someone" (vs 23) asks a general question but God desires personal questons... Thoughts on our walk toward the Narrow Door. Can be a very fun sermon. A call for people to have a deeper walk with God. Concluding sugestions at the end of sermon.

    In some of our previous messages I shared from: 1) Luke 13:31-35 where Jesus weeps for Jerusalem. The Pharisees have a pretense of caring for Jesus by warning Him of Herod's plans to kill Him, all while they themselves desire to do just that. We also talked about the animal imagery used in the ...read more

    Jesus teaches us about the "narrow door" of salvation. We are warned to avoid the "broad" way that leads to destruction.

    Are You Listening? Luke 13.22-30 The Bible is the most important book in the world. It is God’s word, and it clearly reveals the truth of this world. It is the cradle of Christ and the message of salvation. Of all the things we do in this life... work, eat, sleep, care for our ...read more

    In the middle of faithlessness and unrepentance, God moves graciously.

    Luke 13:1-9, 31-35 “Fruitlessness” INTRODUCTION Two teenagers were driving along a mountain road near Flagstaff. As some of us have a tendency to do, they were going rather fast—about 75 miles per hour. The driver lost control of the truck. The truck crashed through the ...read more

    Friend, my goal today is to win you for Christ. God loves you and wants you to spend eternity with him. If you have been one of those who have been coming to Church faithfully for many years and never really received Jesus as your personal Savior, I de

    We are not told who that “someone” was who asked Jesus the question “Lord will those who are saved be few?” but in answering the question Jesus actually tells us how to get there. He tells us that only few will get in while many will stand outside the door and keep ...read more

     | 7,321 views

    There are areas in each of our lives which remain private, between us and God.

    MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. John 21:20-22. 1. Peter had once boasted that even if all men were to forsake Jesus, yet he would not be amongst them (Matthew 26:33). However, of those disciples still living after the betrayal of Jesus (when most of His disciples fled at the first sign of trouble), ...read more

    As a Christian, see yourself in God’s Kingdom everyday and live accordingly!

    Let’s start with this question: What do you need to have a kingdom? A kingdom needs a ruler! A kingdom needs people or “subjects”! A kingdom needs a realm or a place! Jesus Christ often talked about the Kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is mentioned over 70 times in the New ...read more

    Will Everyone Make It To Heaven?

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Oct 19, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,573 views

    This sermon addresses the false belief that everyone will make it to heaven. I used parts of a sermon outline from sermons of the new testament to write this sermon.

    In a 2008 USA Today article it says that in a survey taken the majority of people 65% say eternal life is not exclusively for those who accept Christ. The world view today is that anyone and everyone will be saved no matter who they are, what they do, or who are what they believe in. The ...read more

    Jesus calls us to walk the narrow way; that’s positively countercultural.

    THE NARROW DOOR Luke 13:22-30 David E. Nichols Nobody likes to be thought of as narrow. It’s a great insult when spoken about educated people. We are here because we have been educated out of our narrowness or we hope to be educated out of our narrowness. One of the worst things ...read more

    The Discipline Of Prayer Series

    Contributed by David Scudder on May 30, 2009
     | 4,250 views

    Since prayer is really just talking to God, then why is it so hard? Some of us have no problem spending a lot of time talking to other people? So why does it take so much effort to talk to God?

    Purpose: To show that a false commitment to Christ will cause a lack of desire to pray. Aim: I want the listener to be sure that he is totally committed to Christ. INTRODUCTION: For many years medical science thought that ulcers were caused by stress and spicy foods. But, in 1979 two Australian ...read more

    Pentecost 14 (C) - Heaven’s door is narrow. By only trusting in God’s grace alone will believers live to make every effort to enter.

    HEAVEN’S DOOR IS NARROW (Outline) September 6, 2009 -- PENTECOST 14 -- Luke 13:22-30 INTRO: Today Jesus points out that the door to heaven is narrow. This does not mean that heaven is full.
