    When it comes to our personal relationship with God and with others, Jesus taught that personal goodness is more valuable than personal greatness.

    INTRODUCTION When I was a pastor in Alabama, we lived next to a cemetery. Most days I would jog through there; the residents never complained. I enjoyed reading the tombstones. I’ll never forget the short tribute one on large tombstone. A man’s name was listed and then it said, “He was a great ...read more

    Greatness is not determined by status. It is determined by service. So if you want to be truly great then follow the least, be the least, and serve the least

    Some time ago, I came across this piece written by a child. He imagines what it would be like if he were in charge of the world. If I were in charge of the world, he writes, I’d cancel oatmeal, Monday mornings, Allergy shots. If I were in charge of the world, There’d be brighter night lights, ...read more

    Who's In Charge? Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 30, 2012
     | 4,907 views

    Face it, we humans like to be in charge of ourselves and as many others as we can. Though we aren't all power mongers, this default human behavior causes major problems when we see how God's universe really operates. The lesson comes home in this portion

    We as humans have various default behaviors that we engage in. I know that we as Christians don’t like to think that we are that way, but unless energy is expended in seeking healing from these default human behaviors, we will continue to do them naturally. Paul said in Philippians 2:12 ...read more

    The Paradoxical Sayings of Jesus To Be Great, Be the Least Selected Passages To be truly great in life, seek to be the least! This has to be one of the most incredible, unbelievable, counter-intuitive, counter-cultural statements of all time. Essentially it is a statement that the way up in life ...read more

    A CHILD-LIKE HUMILITY. Mark 9:30-37. 1. CONTEXT (Mark 8:29-34). On the back of Peter’s famous confession of faith (Mark 8:29), Jesus began to teach His disciples about His upcoming death and resurrection (Mark 8:31).

    They learned to match their “I.Q. with their “I do;” if anybody wants to be first (a leader) the person has to be willing to serve all.

    Hearing Problems

     | 440 views

    Are we afraid to ask what Jesus has in store for us, of what our future following him might look like?

    This was a very difficult sermon to prepare because this passage doesn’t really apply to you, at least not the way most preachers spin it. I can just hear the disciples arguing over who’s the greatest, can’t you? like a bunch of little boys bragging in the playground at recess, or kids ...read more

     | 538 views

    Unexamined assumptions can cause us to stumble over things we don't even notice.

    It’s a little disconcerting, sitting down to write a sermon on a passage that you’ve already preached on twice, to find that neither time did you say what you’d planned to say. Of course, only preachers have that problem... Maybe only 60-something preachers have that problem. But more generally, ...read more

    The Lesson "ears To Hear" Teaches Us

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 8, 2023
     | 1,248 views

    "He that ears to hear, let him hear.” Why did Jesus say this about the purpose of parables and what does it mean for us today?

    I am going to open the message with the first part of John 16:13 from the Amplified Bible. “But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth).” During the Last Supper, which is recorded in John chapters 13 through 17, ...read more

    Jesus Teaches His Disciples (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 4, 2023
     | 805 views

    As Jesus continued to privately teach His disciples in Mark chapter 9, we see that He focused on teaching them about pride and prejudice. It was important for them and for us to learn about humility and tolerance.

    Introduction: A. In last week’s sermon, we started a section in the Gospel of Mark where Jesus was privately teaching His disciples some very important lessons on discipleship. 1. The two lessons we explored last week had to do with prayer and the passion of Jesus. 2. In today’s sermon, we will ...read more

    Jesus can use whatever means and make whatever way he pleases to save his people. God shows up in unexpected ways, with an unfamiliar appearance, to deliver his people. His acts of deliverance sometimes trouble and perplex His people. He is the "I AM that I Am!"
