Realistic Expectations Series

Contributed by Perry Greene on Feb 6, 2019

The RYR approached Jesus with some expectations. Jesus also had expectations of him. The application for us is that we have expectations from God (some realistic and some unrealistic) and He has expectations of us which he will not alter.

Serving Like Jesus

Contributed by Scott Jensen on Feb 9, 2019

Jesus’ ministry on earth revolved around serving others. This is why He healed people and taught people and, ultimately, died for people. The night before Jesus dies, He gives His disciples a lesson on service. What can we learn from Jesus' service?

Humble Thyself

Contributed by Tim Carpenter on Feb 13, 2019

Do not exalt yourself. Do not be prideful. Do not claim to be the best at anything, even if it's true. You are not really 10 ft. tall and bullet proof. Even Superman has weakness. Pride is our Kryptonite.

Humble Thyself Sermon: Feb. 9, 2019 (4th of 11th month) Luke 18:9-14 Two men in the temple. Matt.25:32-46 The response of the saints is "WHEN did we do these things", rather than "YES, I sure did!" They could have said, yes we did these things in order to give glory to GOD, ...read more

Why Did Jesus Have To Die And Did He Really Rise From The Dead?

Contributed by Steve Malone on Feb 19, 2019

This message will try to answer the two questions - why did Jesus have to die and did He really rise up from the dead.

Jesus: Why Did He Have To Die Did He Really Rise From The Dead? I. Why Did Jesus Die? I want to look at this question from 3 perspectives: the Romans, the Jews, Jesus and the church.

Yes, A Church Leader Must Have A Sense Of Humor Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 23, 2019

We are told to have salt in us. Salt was used in the ancient world, and occasionally today, to preserve meat from corruption. So if we have spiritual salt, we will be preserved against that kind of corrupt thought and behavior.

Thursday of the 7th Week in Course 2019 St. Hilarius Today we have a rare treat because of the late date of Ash Wednesday and Easter.

SCRIPTURE: Mark 10:17-22 "And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

A Sequence Of Sayings

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 12, 2018

A reward for those who welcome Jesus' disciples. A warning for those who lead them astray.

A SEQUENCE OF SAYINGS. Mark 9:38-50. 1. John informed Jesus of “one casting out devils in Your name; and we forbad him because he follows not with us” (Mark 9:38). Perhaps John’s jealousy was fired by the failure of the nine members of the team who - whilst Jesus, Peter, James and John ...read more

El Divorcio

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 16, 2018

Por lo general, Jesús enseña que cuando se trata de primer matrimonio para ambos cónyuges, esto es un vínculo válido y que un divorcio con subsecuente matrimonio es equivalente a adulterio.

27B En nuestro Evangelio de hoy Jesús compara el divorcio y posterior matrimonio para la persona divorciada, y lo contrasta con sus enseñanzas y las de Moisés. Lo mismo podemos hacer en nuestros días. Por ejemplo, el Rey Enrique VIII no consiguió que su matrimonio fuera anulado por Roma ...read more

Of such is the kingdom of God.

THE TRUST OF A LITTLE CHILD. Mark 10:13-16. In one of our previous readings, Jesus set a little child in the midst of His disciples (Mark 9:36).

The Rich Young Ruler

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 18, 2018

FOBO “fear of better options?

28B I saw a tee-shirt that said “fomo made me do it” (Fear Of Missing Out.). Did the man in our Gospel today have that, or FOBO “fear of better options,” or FODA, 'fear of doing anything?' The man ran up, knelt down, and asked Jesus, “…what must I do to inherit eternal life?" It’s like, “What is ...read more

Sharp Words Spoken By Love

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 25, 2018

All things are possible with God, but those who set their hearts on riches will be sadly disappointed.

SHARP WORDS SPOKEN BY LOVE. Mark 10:17-31. The first three Gospels all report Jesus’ encounter with the character who has become known by the composite name of ‘the rich young ruler’. They all mention that he was ‘rich’ (as in Mark 10:22), but only Matthew mentions that he was ‘young’ ...read more
