    "The Religion Police"

    Contributed by Ken Sauer on Aug 28, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,302 views

    Our value as a person has nothing to do with having our name on the up in lights. God loves us; we can’t improve on that! You don’t have to try and prove you are worthwhile by sneaking your nametag a little higher up on the table. And praise God for that!

    Luke 14:1-14 “The Religion Police” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN Luke opens chapter 14 by telling us that Jesus “went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee,” on the Sabbath and that “he was being carefully ...read more

    People are Important to God

    Two Prejudices – Luke 14.1-14 Prejudice of any kind is hard to deal with, let alone live with so, seen from that perspective, the story of the Great Banquet might prove something of a challenge for some. To be sure, there’s nothing in it to indicate racial prejudice but it’s ...read more

    Do I Really Want To Become More Like Jesus?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 1, 2010
     | 4,629 views

    This is a tough question! Do I want to become more like Jesus, or do I want God to help me become more the person that I selfishly want to be?

    Was Jesus a nice, polite, mild-mannered, good-natured young man who kept himself to himself? Was Jesus middle-of-the-road, all things to all people, politically correct, and softly spoken? Was Jesus the most inoffensive man you could ever wish to meet? I wonder what kind of gentle, meek and mild ...read more

    Jesus tells us to give up the seat of honour so His grace can flow through our humility

    Jesus Never Called Shotgun Luke 14:1-14 Jan 20th, 2008 I have to confess that when I hear someone call “shotgun” it gets my hackles up a bit. When they say shotgun I hear “me; me; me.” It reminds me of when our kids were young I would tell them not to say “I’m the king of the castle and ...read more

    A sermon which explores the meaning of the Grace of Jesus Christ: what is means, how Jesus secured our salvation, what it meant to the Jews and Gentiles of Jesus’ time and what it means to us today. FAITH ALONE, GRACE ALONE BECAUSE OF JESUS ALONE.

    Rewards Matter Series

     | 8,550 views

    The Bible is overflowing with statements that teach us we gain or lose rewards in heaven based upon how we live here on earth. But, in order to enter more deeply into this subject, we need to understand some basics.

    Rewards Matter (1st in series) (Romans 2:6) 1. We tend to think that whatever is far ahead doesn’t matter that much, and that we will get by with whatever. 2. One dad didn’t think ahead to take shampoo with him into the shower, and writes, “Today, while my eyes are closed in the shower, I ...read more

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 21, 2013
     | 7,280 views

    Jesus ate with all kinds of sinners, including the Pharisees. One such occasion is recorded in Luke 14:1-14. In this lesson we'll examine the disastrous dinner with a focus of learning who will sit around the Lord's table.

    The meal table is the main social center of the home. Think of some of your warmest memories and many of them will be associated with meal-time. In our text, the entire passage is centered around and on a meal table. The great question discussed was who will sit around God’s table in the ...read more
