    Contributed by Daniel Habben on Aug 23, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,777 views

    While Jesus came to bring peace between God and sinners he wants us to know that our life in this world as his followers won't be peaceful.

    A couple of years ago a number of Circuit City electronic stores in the States were going out of business and some of them hired a liquidator to sell off their remaining inventory. Customers lined up to purchase TVs that were supposedly discounted by as much as 75%. Some savvy shoppers, however, ...read more

    I have come to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were blazing already!(Luke 12:49 NJB) What a powerful and frightening statement! For those gathered around Jesus it was a very disturbing. Why would it be disturbing? What do these words mean to you? What do you think of when Jesus talks ...read more

    All Is NOT Easy in the Kingdom of God 1) It wasn’t easy for Jesus. 2) It won’t be easy for us.

    There was a young girl who loved to sing and wanted to make a career of it since it seemed like an easy way to make lots of money. So when the girl won a pass to meet her favourite artist, the first thing she blurted out was: “Oh, I would give anything for your career!” “Anything?” the artist ...read more

    Prophets And Losses

    Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Sep 18, 2007
    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,884 views

    False prophets are not just an Old Testament problem. We have them in full force today, in all denominations, telling us that God is “doing a new thing,” misinterpreting Isaiah 43:19 to justify sin.

    Other Scriptures used: Jeremiah 23:23-29 Psalm 82 Hebrews 12:1-14 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14) False prophets are not just an ...read more

    We must be willing to be set "on fire" with the gospel of Christ Jesus to accomplish all Christ calls us to do.

    Luke 12: 49 – 56 Fire To The Earth Intro: Anytime you get a group of people together, there is going to be a difference of opinion. That is not always bad!

    The Holy Spirit Of Witness And Division Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 21, 2018
     | 3,870 views

    The Spirit empowers, but the Spirit also divides. Because the Holy Spirit causes us to change our lives, and to summon our family and friends to the Christian way of life, conflict often emerges in relationships.

    Thursday of the 29th Week in Course 2018 The phrase, “fire that Our Lord came to cast down upon the earth” is reminiscent of an encounter Jesus had in his earthly life with James and John, sons of Zebedee. Some town had refused hospitality to Jesus and the disciples, so those two asked Jesus for ...read more

    The world wants peace... remember the Coca Cola song? Jesus notes that his peace is different ant this text is about "judgment" in regards to his Messiah ship. There is evil in the world... our own selfish nature would desire that we build bigger barns.

    In Jesus Holy Name August 14, 2016 Luke 12:49,51 “The Harsh Words of Jesus” People want peace and harmony. We want peace and harmony for our families, for our communities and for our world. Personal security and national security are big issues in our communities. ...read more

    Jesus came to free us from the slavery to sin through faith, through faith in what He taught, and through faith in Him as a person.

    Thursday of 29th Week in Course Lumen Fidei Jesus was a very serious Savior. If you were a government official and happened upon a prison where several thousands of persons were enslaved under abysmal conditions, you’d want to free them. Now before Christ, we were slaves of sin. I know ...read more

    The Blessings Of Hardships

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Aug 26, 2019
     | 5,984 views

    Jesus said he came to, "send fire on the earth." This sermon takes a unique approach on this idea and uses the fire metaphor as a purging of the things inside us that hinder us from becoming who we can be through God.

    The Blessing of Hardships Since this Gospel reading is intense, I thought I’d begin by admitting something kind of funny about it. When I read it this week, I pictured Jesus at a Charlie Daniels concert singing, “Fire on the mountain run boys run.” It also made me wonder, “… how am I supposed ...read more
