    Staying Anchored to God through the Storms of Life

    Title: If God is Just, why isn’t life Fair? If you have your bible, I want to invite you to turn to Luke 7:11 We’ve heard it all our lives – we’ve probably even been guilty of saying it Now Children, play fair Hopefully the concept of fairness was instilled in us by our parents and our ...read more

    Even amidst life’s harships, confusion, and pain, we can discover a new and clearer vision of Christ Jesus as the Messiah.

    THE PERSON WHO HAS NEVER TAKEN THE RISK OF HAVING TO TASTE WHAT IS BITTER HAS NEVER REALLY KNOWN THAT WHICH TASTES SWEET. THE HUMAN SPIRIT IS CAPABLE OF WITHSTANDING ENORMOUS DISCOMFORT, INCLUDING THE PROSPECT OF DEATH, IF THE CIRCUMSTANCES MAKE SENSE. MANY MARTYRS, POLITICAL PRISONERS, AND WAR ...read more

    John the Baptist is one person who recognized the person to whom he was answerable. He only lived for God’s sake!

    I’m not sure how many of you have seen the most recent Star Wars release that came out a couple of years ago now, Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. If you did, I have no doubt that one of the supporting characters caught your attention. His name was Jar Jar Binks, and he was, in my eyes the most ...read more

    How Jesus Conducted Funerals

    Contributed by Brian Atwood on Feb 21, 2003
    based on 174 ratings
     | 26,164 views

    The example of the Master in being a comfort to people who have suffered loss.

    Actually, Jesus never had to conduct a funeral. No one ever died or stayed dead in His immediate presence. That’s because He is the resurrection and the life! (John 11:25) He did, however, come to the aid of those in sorrow over death, and by so doing left a great example for those of us who ...read more

    we spend far too much time trying to please everybody else, that we lose ourselves and our identities with God.

    Luke 7:11-23 You may be seated in the presence of the Lord. Verse 14 says, "Then Jesus went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still." I want to take a strange twist on this text and for a little bit of time talk from the subject as the Holy Spirit shall lead and guide of, "I’m ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 6,983 views

    This is about John the Baptist and his doubts about who Jesus was. This sermon gives permission to doubt as long as the believer goes to look for answers.

    Luke 7:18-23 – Room for Doubt and Room for Growth Today we are looking at a story not mentioned very much in sermons. The problem with the story is that it paints a hero of the faith with a quality that we aren’t comfortable with him having. The hero is John the Baptist, and that quality is ...read more

    Realizing that Jesus stands among us can cause us to rejoice or recoil in fear.

    Luke 7:7 – 11 Among Us Intro: One of my favorite TV programs is “Ghost Whisperer.” A young woman named Melinda Gordan can see spirits of dead people. The “spirits” are trapped here because they have some unresolved issue. I find fascinating the various reactions of people when Melinda tells ...read more

    A sermon about this wonderful resurrection story in Scripture. Mainly focusing on the compassion of Jesus and how He cares for us. But also, how we should be moved by compassion to help those around us.

    Introduction Read Text: Luke 7:11-17 Background Luke, the Physician, is always quick to show God’s compassion for human need.

    Good News?

    John wants to know whether Jesus is the Messiah, because it doesn’t seem that the gospel he’s proclaiming is good news. But it is!

    I guess everyone has some idea what we mean when we talk about the gospel. But I wonder what your preferred translation of that word would be. Is Good News the correct translation do you think? Is the gospel necessarily good news? You may never have thought about that question, but if you do ...read more

    4 of 5 messages. This message addresses the challenge of doubt and how it can contribute to faith.

    I have questioned many things about our faith and the things of God. I am a skeptic. I admit it. Whenever I hear about someone who is suffering from cancer miraculously discovering his or her cancer is gone, I wonder if it can be true. I doubt. I read reports about God mysteriously working in ...read more
