    Hell And The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Ron Tuit on Jan 18, 2014
     | 6,201 views

    People feel "uncomfortable" about the topic of "Hell", but avoiding it will not change what Jesus taught about Hell; the Gospel frees people from the threat of Hell.

    “A Four-Letter Word and the Gospel” or “Hell and the Gospel” Matt. 18:1-9, 25:29-46 Recently someone told me that I talk too much about sin. IF I am guilty of that accusation, I can justify my actions: SIN is the reason for millions of people spending their eternities in ...read more

    Disciples Contend For Greatness

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 28, 2015
     | 5,451 views

    I wonder, is there a bit of worldly ambition present in these men that He had called to be His disciples? I believe they may have been doing a bit of bragging among themselves, and now they come to Jesus to see who He thinks is the greatest disciple.

    There never was a greater pattern for humility than Jesus, and there was never a greater preacher of it, than Jesus. On several occasions, He had talked to his disciples and followers about it. I wonder, is there a bit of worldly ambition present in these

    Who's The Greatest In The Kingdom? Series

    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,743 views

    This is a message in a series based on questions that Jesus asked and that were asked of Him.

    There seems to be a fundamental human urge in all of us that causes us to want to be the greatest at doing or being something James and John are really a good representation of the human race when they ask Jesus to let them sit on each side of Him in His kingdom. . If left to go unchecked this can ...read more

    The Greatest

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 12, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,859 views

    The analogy of the child being the greatest in God’s Kingdom was completely contrary to the prevailing culture then and now. Imagine how His disciples must have reacted to Jesus then and how indifferent it is even today.

    Opening illustration: If God was taking resumes, what would you put on yours? In other words, what makes a good Christian? What would really impress them when you arrive in heaven? Experience, qualifications, references, character traits … The reason I asked is because followers of Jesus ...read more

    A humble heart is the bedrock of any meaningful relationship with God.

    Humility, Yielding, Surrender Throughout scripture we see a truth that is the bedrock of our relationship with God: a humble heart. It’s a heart that finds joy in yielding and surrendering its will and desires to God’s will and desires. Sadly, this doesn’t appeal to many in the Body of Christ ...read more

    Humility

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Apr 24, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 10,383 views

    Ministers are reluctant to preach on humility. How do we promote humility without sounding like we think we’ve attained it? Needless to say, my sermon title isn’t “Humility and how I found it.” We are all "works-in-progress".

    Winston Churchill was reviling a political opponent at a press conference. A reporter interrupted him asking, “But surely, Mr. Churchill, you must admit that he is a humble, modest man?” To which Churchill replied: “He is a humble man, but then he has much to be humble about!” Ministers are ...read more

    A call to humility. A warning against stumbling blocks. Lost sheep found.

    AS A LITTLE CHILD. Matthew 18:1-14. 1. The disciples came to Jesus, openly and unashamedly asking, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” (Matthew 18:1). Jesus’ response was to call a little child to Himself. The child freely and willingly came. Jesus set him in the midst of the ...read more

     | 10,557 views

    Jesus did not mean that we need to act like children, but to show a few good childlike traits that can help us draw nearer to God.

    Matt. 18:1-5 In the gospels, the apostles were always wondering among themselves who would be the greatest in the kingdom of God. They would argue amongst themselves because they wanted the places of honor In Mark 9 and 10 we see two examples we’ll take note of. Mark 9:33-34 (NKJV) 33 Then ...read more

    A Biblical understanding of Stewardship: God gives generously (faith, salvation, eternal life, forgiveness, etc) and by God's Holy Spirit, we may also give generously.

    Grace, mercy, peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Today is Stewardship Sunday.
