    MATTHEW 23:11 “But the greatest among you shall be your servant.” When I was a teenager, I remember telling my father that I wanted to be a successful businessman when I grew up.

    "The Religion Police"

    Contributed by Ken Sauer on Aug 28, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,067 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
     | 4,514 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

     | 11,452 views

    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.

    Grumbling Pharisees are taught a lesson about loving the lost and what it is that makes Heaven rejoice.

    TITLE: Jesus, the Friend of Sinners TEXT: Luke 15:1-10 INTRO: Do you remember the nursery rhyme, Little Bo Peep?

    The Banquet Series

     | 8,700 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

    Healing Of The Dropsy Man

    based on 1 rating
     | 11,699 views

    Maybe the most unusual healing in the N.T., Jesus removes many pounds/ gallons of fluid from a man's body in a few seconds. The Greek indicates He may have squeezed the man as part of the healing. Wow!

    HEALING OF THE DROPSY MAN Lk. 14:1-6 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: COLLATERAL 1. An Amish man wanted a loan for $500. He approached his local banker. The banker looked at the head teller & winked! 2.

    Humility 2016

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 20, 2016
     | 6,352 views

    Humility is disdained by this world but the Kingdom of God and the citizens of Heaven are those who are contrite and humble. Sometimes we need to examine ourselves to see if we are prideful or humble. Hopefully this sermon helps us with that examination.

    Luke 14:1-11 (read from the Bible and have the congregation follow along) Luke 14:11 NIV “All those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Humility … humility in relationship to God comes from knowing that God is God and we are ...read more

     | 3,417 views

    Sometimes we need an analysis of how we view ourselves in order to determine if we are actually humble or not. This sermon contains an mini-quiz to that effect and also the testimony of John Piper in an article from 2010 where he was struggling with pride

    Luke 14:1-11 (read from the Bible and have congregation follow along) Luke 14:11 NIV “All those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Humility … humility in relationship to God comes from knowing that God is God and we are not ...read more

    St. Luke records that when Jesus began his ministry, he proclaimed that He was sent “to heal the brokenhearted, and proclaim deliverance to captives.”

    Sixteenth Sunday After Pentecost 2018 Healing of the Heart When I was growing up in the fifties and early sixties, this Extraordinary Form Mass was everywhere the norm.

    Jesus told this parable to illustrate God’s will and how there were seat-seekers who were excluding those who were in need of a seat.

    THE RUDE GUEST Text: Luke 14, 1, 7 – 14 John Wesley had no intention of founding a denomination. He was a clergyman in the church of England. He boldly reached out to those whom society and the church of his day had marginalized. John Wesley saw the church ...read more

     | 4,658 views

    As imitators of Jesus Christ, we too are to know what to do for God, go, do what God says and tell people the truth in love!

    Last week from Luke 13 we noted that Jesus responded to persecution by actually just continuing the work He was called to do by God. Maybe this is where we got the saying “when the going gets tough, the tough gets going!” In our passage today, we will note the confidence of Jesus ...read more
