  • The Story

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Feb 9, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,386 views

    Why is so much of God’s word narrative? Why did God chose story to instruct us and call us to Christ? There is power in a story. God’s story has the power to save us.

    As we study through the gospel of Luke, or any of the gospels for that matter, we find God’s word communicating with us on a different level than direct instructions. God has chosen to use a wide range of literary genre as he inspired his Word to us. The gospels are more than historical stories ...read more

    Jesus came to seek those that were lost. Those who were sinners in need of forgiveness. He said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance” Jesus wanted to show that God ca

    Introduction: Jesus came to seek those that were lost. Those who were sinners in need of forgiveness. He said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance” Jesus wanted to show that God cared for them and that He was ...read more

  • Be A Matthew

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 25, 2008
    based on 4 ratings

    Unlike the Pharisees, Jesus saw Matthew’s need, his worth and his potential. Matthew understood his own need, was willing to follow Christ and shared the Good News.

    We are going to look at a man called Levi (also called Matthew in Matt 9:9-12). I will use the more familiar name Matthew here. It is surprising that Jesus would even call a tax-collector to follow Him. • Jesus was preparing a group of disciples who would eventually bring the good news about ...read more

  • Jesus Dines With Sinners Series

     | 10,756 views

    In this sermon we learn what happens when a person is converted to Christ.

    Scripture The four Gospels are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The Gospel authors are often called “evangelists.” One reason they are called evangelists is because each author wanted to communicate the good news of salvation in such a way that unbelievers would understand, believe, and ...read more

  • From Disharmoney To A Gift Series

    Contributed by Larry Turner on Jun 6, 2013
     | 3,525 views

    Levi changed his name to Matthew in his Gospel to reflect his heart change.

    Last week we talked about the man who came through the roof with the help of his friends. Remember Jesus was more concerned about his spiritual healing than a physical healing. While his friends expected a physical, healing Jesus instead forgave his sins. It was after the religious people got upset ...read more

  • Follow Me

     | 8,352 views

    Each of us has been called to follow Christ, but we need to consider what that means and what it will cost us.

    Luke 5:27-31 Follow Me FBC Whitewright February 3, 2013 Do you ever ask yourself what it is that God wants from you? Maybe what Jesus wants you to do? I have for years -- for too long my relationship to Christ was identified by my work for Him. But now there has been no work as I have not ...read more

  • From Crook To World Changer Series

    Contributed by Harry J. Colegrove on Oct 23, 2012
     | 7,391 views

    This is the story of the calling of the tax collector Levi. The focus of the message is that no one is beyond the grace of God. Jesus was not so much concerned about what Levi was, but about what Levi could become

    Gospel of Luke 5:27-32 - From Crook to World Changer We are in a message series on the Gospel of Luke The word “gospel” literally means “good news” So, you could say that this series is about “The good news of Luke” What exactly is this good news? Simply ...read more

     | 4,969 views

    The church today does NOT do enough to bring people out of darkness and into the light. Levi followed Jesus and invited his friends to do the same, we can to.

    (All my sermons use illustrations found at www.sermoncentral.com and all scripture is NIV unless otherwise noted) LIKE A MOTH TO A CANDLE Have you ever wondered why insects are attracted to light? I really think all living things, for the most part are attracted to light. There are of course some ...read more

  • Jesus: Always New, Nothing Borrowed! Series

    Contributed by Paul Clemente on Oct 17, 2011
     | 5,425 views

    We will not know everything till we get to heaven and so always humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and keep on listening and learning from Jesus Christ!

    We continue our study of the Gospel (the Good News) according to Luke. Remember that Luke was not one of the first 12 disciples of Jesus Christ; but, he was likely one of the 70 disciples mentioned in the Gospels. Luke accompanied the Apostle Paul in many of the Missionary Journeys. Luke either ...read more

  • Accepting Change

    based on 1 rating
     | 22,757 views

    My point is this, change is a natural part of life, but we do not have to accept all change. What changes should we accept? What changes should we go after? What changes should we praise God for when they come? How do we identify those changes that wi

    ACCEPTING CHANGE LUKE 5:12-39 INTRODUCTION… Change (http://www.sermonillustrations.com/a-z/c/change.htm) On June 4, 1783 at the market square of a French village of Annonay, not far from Paris, a smoky bonfire on a raised platform was fed by wet straw and old wool rages.

  • Can You Be A Christian Without Being Religious? Series

    Contributed by Dr. George Calhoun on Oct 30, 2008
    based on 10 ratings
     | 12,763 views

    Christianity differs from all religions in that it’s not about us finding God, but about us responding to God who has been reaching out to us.

    Can you be a Christian without being religious? It almost sounds like a contradiction in terms. However, according to Webster, a religion is a system of faith and worship... Christianity is certainly that! According to Webster, a religion is the service to and the adoration of God expressed in ...read more
