    Are You Saved?

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,305 views

    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

    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

    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.

    The Bible gives details about your personal future – what happens both when you die as well as where you are after your death while the world awaits its end. In fact, the Bible teaches that everyone everywhere will spend eternity in one of two places: heaven or hell.

    This is the third sermon in a series of messages on Jesus’ vision of the last days. We are highlighting the Importance of Jesus’ Return during this series. There are 260 chapters in the New Testament, and Christ’s return is mentioned no less than 318 times. Statistically, one verse in twenty-five ...read more
