    "Freedom is never free." It sounds like a paradox when you say it, but it is true. "Freedom is never free." In the same way, forgiveness is never free.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2016) TEXT: Luke 7:36-50 As you know, Friday was Veteran's Day. Throughout this nation & around the world, wherever our nation's flag flies, some people, at least, paused to remember the price that has ...read more

    Unexpected Converts

    Grace. Those most people thought were least likely to become God’s people are the ones who come to Christ; while the ones often thought to be most likely became his enemies.

    Two of the surprises that we come across as we read the New Testament are the people who become close to Jesus, and the people who are alienated from Jesus. It is surprising because it is exactly the opposite of what we would expect to find. We would expect Jesus to be close to the religious folk ...read more

    Death has lost its sting only because Jesus defeated it on its own turf.

    Title: The day that Death dies A few weeks ago three sisters from this congregation, Suzanne, Charlene, and Donna, sang a beautiful song called the Shepherd Medley.

    Step into the shoes of those around the table at Simon’s house.

    Luke 7:36-50 It was an invitation that I couldn’t refuse. Oh, I had received lots of invitations in my lifetime; invitations to weddings, invitations to parties, invitations to fund raising gatherings for religious organizations and political parties. But never an invitation quite like this one. ...read more

    Do You See This Woman?

    Contributed by Kreigh Hurst on May 5, 2001
    based on 124 ratings
     | 4,074 views

    The customs of the day allowed this woman to show her total devotion to Jesus and is in contrast to Simon’s refusal of Him. Hers is an example of how we should approach the master.

    Introduction: Mother Teresa is a woman whose name has become synonymous with greatness. This correlation may have resulted from her philosophy of greatness. She simply believes, "We can do no great things; only small things with great love." Such words are reminiscent of our Lord’s immortal words ...read more

    A demonstration of divine and human love intermingling.

    Love Story Luke 7:36-50 I LIKE LOVE STORIES. I guess I’m just a hopeless romantic. In Luke, chapter 7, we find a love story of the highest sort. It is not a romance; it’s far above that. It’s the story of one woman’s devotion to her God. The scene is the courtyard of the house of Simon ...read more

    GREAT POWERS Luke 7:11-17 INTRO.- ILL.- Three boys at school were bragging about their fathers.

    What did Simon intend to do by snubbing Jesus as he did, and what exactly was the woman doing there at the party?

    Alan Calhoun, Bristol, Connecticut told of a tag sale (garage sale) he and wife had a year or so ago. They had decided to put out a mirror they’d received as a wedding gift. The reason they were selling it was that it had a gaudy aqua-colored metal frame and they just couldn’t find a room in ...read more

    There are two types of people exist within the universal body of the Church: the grateful and the ungrateful, the selfless and the self-centered, the contrite and the sanctimonious.

    Elder M. Edmunds Co-Pastor of United Ordained Church August 2001 In our text, we find two individuals demonstrating two different responses to the presence of Jesus Christ: one is a demonstration of gratitude and the other is of ingratitude. One individual responded in appreciation, while the ...read more

     | 19,455 views

    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

    Simon The Pharisee

     | 35,301 views

    While reading this story we are all focused on what the woman does. It is Simon however on whom I would like to put the spotlight: the reality is that we are like the Pharisee, and not like the woman!

    Simon, the Self-righteous Pharisee - sermon on Luke 7: 36-50 - The sinful woman. That is the name the translators of our translation gave to this paragraph in Luke’s gospel. Another title would have been more appropriate however. Maybe something like ‘Simon, the proud Pharisee.’ For the deepest ...read more

    Believing is critical to living for God. Believing will establish your faith and salvation. But to personally know Jesus will change your life.

    I would like to ask the Lord this morning what He wants me to do to be an effective part of His plan. Personally, I can say I do not want things to become routine for us. I hope we all have come here for the same reasons. We are hungry for God. It is important that we study God’s Word closely. ...read more
