    Like A Moth To A Candle

    Contributed by Joseph Stapleton on Sep 28, 2011
     | 4,836 views

    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.

    (All my sermons use illustrations found at www.sermoncentral.com and all scripture is NIV unless otherwise noted) LIKE A MOTH TO A CANDLE Have you ever wondered why insects are attracted to light? I really think all living things, for the most part are attracted to light. There are of course some ...read more

    Each of us has been called to follow Christ, but we need to consider what that means and what it will cost us.

    Luke 5:27-31 Follow Me FBC Whitewright February 3, 2013 Do you ever ask yourself what it is that God wants from you? Maybe what Jesus wants you to do? I have for years -- for too long my relationship to Christ was identified by my work for Him. But now there has been no work as I have not ...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

    Gospel of Luke 5:27-32 - From Crook to World Changer We are in a message series on the Gospel of Luke The word “gospel” literally means “good news” So, you could say that this series is about “The good news of Luke” What exactly is this good news? Simply ...read more

    The New Versus The Old Series

    Contributed by James Snyder on Apr 22, 2013
     | 8,255 views

    Today's Christian rarely enjoys the Christianity envisioned by Jesus because it has been hampered by religion, which destroys the freedom available to us in Christ.

    Every time some tragedy happens, people get very religious. The problem with getting religious is it does not last very long. Once the crisis has calmed down and things get back to normal, religion seems to go out the window. The reason this happens so often is that religion is never the answer it ...read more

    In the call of Levi we learn how Jesus saves sinners.

    Scripture Luke wrote his Gospel so that we would know that Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. In the early chapters of his Gospel, Luke showed Jesus seeking and saving those with physical ailments. In today’s narrative, however, Luke showed Jesus taking the initiative to reach a sinner ...read more

    In this sermon we learn what happens when a person is converted to Christ.

    Scripture The four Gospels are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The Gospel authors are often called “evangelists.” One reason they are called evangelists is because each author wanted to communicate the good news of salvation in such a way that unbelievers would understand, believe, and ...read more

    Levi changed his name to Matthew in his Gospel to reflect his heart change.

    Last week we talked about the man who came through the roof with the help of his friends. Remember Jesus was more concerned about his spiritual healing than a physical healing. While his friends expected a physical, healing Jesus instead forgave his sins. It was after the religious people got upset ...read more

    In this sermon we analyze Jesus as the bridegroom and learn what Christianity is.

    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

    Can You Be A Christian Without Being Religious? Series

    Christianity differs from all religions in that it’s not about us finding God, but about us responding to God who has been reaching out to us.

    Can you be a Christian without being religious? It almost sounds like a contradiction in terms. However, according to Webster, a religion is a system of faith and worship... Christianity is certainly that! According to Webster, a religion is the service to and the adoration of God expressed in ...read more

    Be A Matthew

    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
