    Rewards Matter Series

     | 8,433 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

    The Banquet Series

     | 8,670 views

    Jesus' challenge to the host in Luke 14, that he should not invite those who could serve his needs but those whose needs he could serve, challenges the worldly approach to human relationships.

    Luke 14:1-14 "The Banquet" INTRODUCTION The word "Stewardship" has gained an ugly reputation in Christian circles. It is frequently associated with congregational pleas for more money. The word has lost its wholistic dimension. Stewardship, or if you prefer, good management is no longer ...read more

    This is God's work, and the order of priority in God's kingdom.

    TABLE ETIQUETTE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. Luke 14:1; Luke 14:7-14. One Sabbath, one of the chief Pharisees gave Jesus the courtesy of a dinner invitation. Jesus courteously accepted. Somewhat discourteously, the Pharisees were keeping their eye on Jesus (Luke 14:1). It was on this occasion, as ...read more

    At the leading Pharisees house Jesus deals with legalism, honour/shame and who is invited to the feast of the kingdom of God

    oday's meal with Jesus is the last he has with a Pharisee - so it's fitting its a chief Pharisee. It doesn't go well for the Pharisee, but it does for a man with dropsy. Dropsy is the old-fashioned name for oedema - water retention in the body often caused by kidney failure or heart problems skin ...read more

    What Is Humility And How Do We Get It?

     | 3,635 views

    "Jesus did that to the extent of surrendering Himself to the Father’s will and dying on the cross for our salvation. You don’t get more other-centered than that."

    Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time 2016 Almost forty years ago, the movie Alien frightened a couple of generations of Americans with its notion that a monster could grow inside someone’s chest and then burst out to cause death and destruction. But that notion was not new. Jesus ben Sira, ...read more

    Dare To Be Humble

    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,452 views

    Jesus uses a couple of etiquette lessons to teach true humility. The point is simple (and repeated throughout scripture): If we lift ourselves up, God will put us down. If we lift others up, God will lift us up.

    Luke 14:1, 7-14 Dare to Be Humble The Duke of Wellington once haughtily drew himself up to his full height and thundered to one of his staff officers, “God knows I have many faults, but being wrong is not one of them!” The best of us struggle with pride from time to time. In ...read more

    Do Christians have a Christ-given responsibility towards the marginalized?

    Intro Our world has many marginalized people. The socially excluded lack access to housing, employment, healthcare, civic participation, and legal protection. Second class citizenship leads to poverty, crime, suicide, and drug addiction. The solution begins with something that Jesus taught, ...read more

    No Soup For You

    Anyone who has watched "Seinfield" on TV has probably heard the catch phrase "No soup for you." But Jesus tells a parable about a group of people who hear that catch phrase all to clear.

    Excuses. We all have them. We make excuses for our actions. We make excuses for our lack of actions. We make excuses for our words. Basically we are good at making excuses. The Metropolitan Insurance Company has published a list of the excuses they were given for auto accidents (1) “An ...read more

    The less fortunate in our society need both our natural gifts and the dignity that comes with being acknowledged. They need the gift of our friendship, and we need them as well.

    When I was preparing my sermon for this morning, I couldn’t help but think of the Christmas song “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”. Now before you start thinking that I’ve been working too hard and need a vacation let me explain. There is a verse in that song that ties in ...read more

    We are administrators of the grace of God. As followers of the Master, it is anticipated that we will reflect His compassion and generosity toward others.

    “When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbours, lest they also invite you in return and you be repaid. But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they ...read more

    Feasting With The Pharisees - An Examination Of Luke 14:1-24

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 21, 2013
     | 7,025 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

He really, really emphasized to his congregation Jesus' Words: "When you host a lunch or dinner, don't invite your friends...Instead...invite the poor, crippled, lame, and blind."

    Messiah uses a banquet to make serious point about how we should think of ourselves. Does self esteem have a place in a Christian's life?

    September 1, 2013 The Banquet A drunken man who smelled like beer, sat down on a subway seat next to a priest. The man’s tie was stained, his face was smeared with red lipstick, and a half-empty bottle of gin was sticking out of his torn coat pocket. He opened his newspaper and began to ...read more
