    "The Religion Police"

    Contributed by Ken Sauer on Aug 28, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,065 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
     | 4,513 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

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,976 views

    Jesus is not interested in gathering a bunch of hangers-on... his desire is that those who follow him be totally devoted to him and willing to reconfigure their family values, self-interests and their hold on stuff.

    Title: Jesus Isn’t Looking for Groupies Text: Luke 14:25-33 Thesis: When we decide to be a follower of Christ we must reconfigure our family values, our need to look out for #1 and our hold on stuff.

    Carrying The Cross Series

     | 7,401 views

    Jesus calls his followers to deny themselves and carry the cross. What does this look like? What does it mean to deny ourselves in a culture and society based on consumerism?

    Luke 14:25-33 “Carrying the Cross” INTRODUCTION Have you noticed that we appear to be buried under an avalanche of forms? When Faye had her shoulder surgery done this spring she sign enough forms to have killed two or perhaps three large trees. The paper work involved in ...read more

    Reforming The Reform--Without Whitewash Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 11, 2010
     | 3,355 views

    The reform of our liturgy is not a matter of going back to pre-Vatican II forms, but of becoming more faithful to true worship as it has developed over 2000 years

    Monday of 23rd Week in Course The Spirit of the Liturgy Sept 6 2010 The stories in chapter 6 of Luke are familiar enough, but we need to understand why the Pharisees were wrong–and not just incorrect, but truly evil. They did not recognize the supreme Good who stood in their midst and ...read more

     | 9,353 views

    God's kingdom is like a great feast. Are we treating it as one?

    Parable of the Great Feast (Luke 14:16-24 NIV) Jesus replied: "A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. {17} At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, 'Come, for everything is now ready.' {18} "But they all alike began to make ...read more

    In our Christian walk we cannot expect an easy way, we cannot expect to be perfect nor can we expect to have all the answers but we can expect that our Lord will come again.

    The Feast/The Excuses Series

    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,492 views

    There are many excuses for rejecting what God has to offer, and God sees through them all. If we’re full of the world we’ll have no appetite for Heaven.

    Today’s parable starts out as table-talk. At a dinner, Jesus mentions “the resurrection of the righteous”, an encouraging truth. Someone at the table gets so excited, he declares a Beatitude: “Blessed is everyone who will eat at the banquet in the Kingdom of God!” ...read more

    What Is A Real Disciple?

    Contributed by Darrell Vaughn on Dec 11, 2010
    based on 85 ratings
     | 14,739 views

    There is a difference between a believer and a disciple. There is no such thing as an instant disciple; like the word, it takes discipline.

    “Father, I am your servant, willing and desiring to be used to bless your people.” The Fields are white and the laborers are few! 2. C.H. Spurgeon said, “If God does not save a man by truth he certainly will not save them by lies, and if the old gospel ...read more

    This sermon aims to move people from being consumers to people who disciple others. It emphasises that it is not the pastor's job to mature Christians but it is the role of the Christian to do this. It encourages personal prayer, bible reading and sharing

    Discipleship part 2 INTRODUCTION To open I would like to start with a true story that happened here at our church. A mother at our playgroup called ‘Jane’ wanted to know more about God, so I started a bible study after the play group. After a few weeks she said it was great but what ...read more

    Many Christians today suffer from what I call ‘dignity deficiency disorder’ simply b/c they are looking in the wrong places for dignity.

    How does one prepare for Holy Communion? With a humble faith. The parable of the Prodigal Son will illustrate such a faith.

    The Art Gallery of Alberta (AGA) held the grand opening of its hip new $88 million building in January. Were you invited to this black tie event? Neither was I. Then again I didn’t give a million dollars for the construction of the Gallery nor am I a friend of the mayor. Gallery openings are ...read more
