Greatness Through Servanthood Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 8, 2024

The Bible talks less about what makes a great leader than it does about what makes a great servant. What is it about God's leaders that requires them to be servants of others?

Today we are putting a man's name into consideration as a future Elder. I hadn't actually planned a sermon on Eldership (the sermon series I'm preaching through is something I'm working with other preachers on) but the text seemed to be a good groundwork for understanding what ...read more

Unveiling The Mystery Of Unanswered Prayers

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Feb 12, 2022

Bible talks a lot about prayers. All of us would be familiarized with this famous quote of Jesus in Matthew 7:7. Ask, seek, knock then God will answer, and make things come your way. Sounds simple enough, but what about all those unanswered prayers in our lives?

Two Brothers With An Agenda

Contributed by Robert Butler on Feb 14, 2022

The original disciples were no different than us in their pride until they fully understood what Jesus did for them AND only then did the commitment make sense.

Two brothers walk up to Jesus. It sounds like the beginning of a joke doesn’t it? Two brothers, often referred to as the sons of thunder, walk up to Jesus. It was just after the third time he shared that crazy statement about going to Jerusalem to die. They knew he was just trying to scare off the ...read more

How Are We To Be Servant Leaders?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on May 21, 2023

Jesus teaches about serving others. We are not to think too highly of ourselves in the service of the Lord.

In this passage of Scripture, Mark is telling us what Jesus teaches about serving others. This concurs with the story in Matthew 20:20-28. Mark records that John and James went to Jesus with their appeal; in Matthew, their mother likewise made the petition. There is no logical inconsistency in the ...read more

"Kingdom Power: Politics Or Service” Lent 5

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Mar 12, 2024

The illustration is a fictional story about "knowing the day of our death". Jesus knew why He was going to Jerusalem. The disciples believe the "kingdom" of the Son of Man, Daniel 7 is about to be fulfilled. Jesus turns Daniel upside down. Service!

Servant Leadership Involves Pain--Even In Election Season

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 16, 2024

One of the two major parties has made abortion this voting cycle their preeminent priority. Let's look at the morality behind that divide.

There is something almost humorous in today’s Gospel pericope. The story has come down to us in two versions. Both place this incident right after Jesus predicted His passion and death for the third time. St. Matthew’s original version pictures Salome, mother of James and John, making the request. ...read more
