The Shema.

Contributed by Roy Fowler on Oct 30, 2021

The Shema is said twice a day by the Jews. It was important to Jesus because it covered all the 10 Commandment in an easy way to remember and apply them to our lives. They are easy to learn and God uses them to either accept our offerings and sacrifices or not. This isn't salvation.

Sermon Title: The Shema. Scripture Text: Mark 12:28-34 Illustration: I was teaching the Senior Youth. I told them I could say the 10 commandment without saying them without memorization. Can you? In our text today, as usual, they were trying to trip Jesus up to entrap Him. Asking ...read more

Everything She Had: A Life That Matters Series

Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Nov 6, 2021

The first attribute of a life that matters that we will examine in this series of sermons this month is generosity. Generosity, as reflected in our gospel text this week, is about how we hold the stuff of this life lightly, even as we hold people and Christ tightly.

A well-known hymn that captures this idea of generosity is “Take My Life, and Let It Be,” 399 in The United Methodist Hymnal. The middle verse often catches us singing with our fingers crossed: “Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold.” In this text of the widow’s mite, we need to ...read more
