    The Sower and the Seed Luke 8:5-15 Intro: Here we have the parable of the Sower and the Seed. Jesus used this parable to teach about mankind’s reception of God’s Word.

  • People, Like Pennies

    Contributed by Timothy Darling on Feb 2, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,355 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

  • The Call To Discipleship

    Contributed by Joanna Beveridge on Feb 2, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,391 views

    If we want to be Jesus’ disciples, we must accept his supreme authority as Lord over every part of our lives.

    In today’s readings we have 2 examples of ordinary people coming face to face with the power of God. Firstly, we have Isaiah’s powerful and compelling vision of an encounter with God in the Temple, in which God’s might and majesty are powerfully displayed. Isaiah must have been completely ...read more

  • "Fishing For People"

    based on 15 ratings
     | 16,719 views

    If we heed Christ’s call on our lives there will be a great catch.

    Luke 5:1-11 “Fishing for People” When I was a young boy, my dad and I would take off on a Saturday morning to a nearby lake. It looked more like a brown stagnant swamp than a lake, but I suppose it was a lake. We’d rent a small fishing boat, buy some crickets for bait and go out fishing for ...read more

  • Thou Gavest Me No Kiss

    Contributed by Michael Martin on Feb 3, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,123 views

    Jesus compares the worship of a religious leader, with the worship of a prostitute.

    (Luke 7:36-47) "Thou gavest me no kiss" There are two people described in our text. First we have a Pharisee; a very refined gentleman; a man of dignity and respect. Then there is a prostitute; a woman of ill repute; an outcast of society; a sinner. Jesus is the guest of the Pharisee, and has ...read more

    This is the second in a series of Messages based on Luke 4:14-21 and Isaiah 61:1-4 which equates the mission of the Church with the mission of Jesus as He states it in Luke 4:18-19.

    His Mission and Ours: To Preach and to Heal --Luke 4:14-21 and Isaiah 61:1-4 As I shared last week, I am convinced that Jesus through this series of messages “His Mission and Ours” is beginning to form in my heart His vision of ministry for Trinity United Methodist Church. Last week we saw ...read more

    Follow-Jesus-at-any-cost kind of questions

    Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, 2he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, ...read more

    Redemptive Nature of God in our lives

    Last week I attended a seminar called “This Holy Mystery” the taking of Communion. One of the interesting facts that we discussed was the accepting of communion. In other words who can and who has the right to take communion. In the United Methodist Church we practice the open communion in that we ...read more

  • Career Change Series

    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Feb 5, 2007
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,943 views

    God reveals himself to us in common, mundane times. When he does, we become aware of God’s holiness and our sinfulness and we are forever changed.

    Luke 5:1-11 “Career Change” INTRODUCTION Where do we go to encounter God? This question has been debated and attempts made to discover the answer for centuries. Some people have followed the example of John the Baptist and traveled the deserts and wildernesses of the world. In the middle ages, ...read more

  • Growing Up

    Contributed by Steven Chapman on Feb 6, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,039 views

    These two verses provide a blueprint for each of us as we seek to move toward spiritual maturity, and become like Christ. Since we are disciples of Christ, and if we are ever to become like Christ, we will need to "grow up" in these basic areas.

    Growing Up Luke 2:40, 52 As we move away from the Christmas season, we move into the uncomfortable encounters with Christ. Both Christmas and the Resurrection Season are comfortable seasons. They are seasons that emphasize grace, God’s love, and His sacrifice. But as we move into the interlude, ...read more

  • Experience Versus Obedience In Faith

    Contributed by Michael Trask on Feb 6, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,989 views

    We put a high premium on our experience in life. This limits us and also prevents us from the greater experience and reality which Jesus calls us to enter. Peter was "experienced" in fishing. But Jesus would take him beyond his experience. Us too.

    You are talking to someone about something, something that you know is true with all of your heart. And right in the middle, of making your most convincing point, they stop you and they say those words that bring a sudden end to all discussion. “ That has not been my experience!” They say. ...read more

  • Jesus Was Baptized Too

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Feb 8, 2007
    based on 9 ratings
     | 21,072 views

    On this “Baptism of Jesus” Sunday we might very well ask what John asked. Why did Jesus need to be baptized? Like John it is also good for us to see our need for baptism by Jesus.

    John the Baptist. That name brings powerful images to mind. Camel’s hair clothes held together with a leather belt. Grasshoppers dipped in wild honey for a sweet and crunchy meal. Saying the morally right thing at the socially wrong time. John was the one who called the people who came to hear ...read more
