    People, Like Pennies

    Contributed by Timothy Darling on Feb 2, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,362 views

    Wealth in our lives is measured in many ways. Pennies are a small measure of money, but Benjamin Franklin would have told you that a penny saved is a penny earned. Friends in our lives are another kind of wealth that we may not value highly enough. Wherev

    People, like pennies Luke 5:27-32 I watched a hidden camera show some time back. The director had taken two rolls of pennies and dropped them randomly but obviously along a half a city block. Then he filmed people’s reactions. People noticed, but they did not stoop to pick up the pennies. Some ...read more

    He Left All Rose Up And Followed Him

     | 2,520 views

    Levi or Matthew was call to Leave all, rise up, and follow Christ. As we look at the Bible this morning, we will look not at the costs of following Christ but rather of the benefits of following Christ!

    I. He will only allow you to go through something that He has not chosen for you (Job 1 jobs trials were initiated by God! A. He has gone through the Trial before us.

    Stewardship Of A "Patchless” Life Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 3, 2010
    based on 66 ratings
     | 19,138 views

    The Pharisees lived by a "patches" theology - if they could patch over the sin in their lives, the hole didn’t exist anymore. But Christians are not called to patch our old way of life. Do you know what we’re to do instead?

    OPEN: I’ve noticed over the years that kids love jokes that are plays on words. For example, when I was a kid (now I never did this myself, you understand), but I’ve known kids who would call a neighbor and ask: “Is your refrigerator running?” (pause). When the person on the other end of the line ...read more

    Luke 5:27-39 “No Point Starving at a Feast” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN Tax-collectors are never popular, but in Jesus’ day it was much worse. They were extortionists. And more than that: they were working for the Romans, or for Herod, and ...read more

    Be A Matthew

    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,551 views

    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

    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

    Accepting Change

     | 22,793 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

    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.

    The Story

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Feb 9, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,406 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
