    To show how dangerous sin is

    JAMES 1:12-16 "THE PRICE OF SIN" INTRO: No one realizes the high price of sin until they have to pay for it. I want us today to look at vs.15 and really grasp the meaning!

    Every believer needs to understand the power of the mountain top in their daily lives. Jesus knew the value of the mountain top, do we?

    The Mountain is symbolic: It speaks to us of the place and the characteristics of prayer in the life of the believer In the gospels alone this story appears 3 separate times (Lu 9:28 Mat 17:1 Mk 9:2) also In the book of exodus there is the story of Moses on the mountain with the rod of God ...read more

    based on 11 ratings
     | 4,055 views

    We have heard numerous stories about Jesus’ temptation. Yet, perhaps the amazing thing of the story of Christ’s temptations is that He knows our story so well.

    Heaven’s Empathy for You and Me Luke 4:1-13 Movement One: Jesus was tempted Set Stage: (Bracket discussion by familiarity). Questions: We know this story, don’t we?

    Cannot the people see the chastisement of God upon them, cannot they see that God is willing to bless, but He will not bless the unclean thing.

    Consider, The Past, Present and Future? Consider the past. A time when we were prosperous and growing? Consider the past, when God added to the church daily, such as needed to be saved. Consider the past, when many were healed and redeemed, many were set free from captivity, oppression and ...read more

    This is about Jesus and woman at the well.

    This is a rich passage. I could spend a couple months preaching from this passage. Give background of animosity between Jews and Samaritans. Women were marginalized. Read John 4:1-42. What does it mean that Jesus had to go through Samaria? Was it divine or geographically necessary? ...read more

    This is on the Lord’s Supper.

    The action really kicks into gear now. The events move at an ever-increasing pace from this point. It’s a blur, a whirlwind. Chapter 26 starts with the religious elite plotting to kill Jesus. Jesus is then anointed. Judas agrees to hand Jesus over. Read Matthew 26:17-29. The first thing we ...read more
