    Come: To A Choking World

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 6, 2009

    What chokes the joy out of life? Too many cares that major on minors, and the relentless pursuit of material success. Jesus came to be authentically human among us.

    Nearly every time I take an airplane trip, I get a happy surprise. When we take off and rise through the congestion of earth and the grim gray clouds of our immediate atmosphere, there comes that astonishing moment when the plane bursts through the cloud cover into bright sunlight.

    The Widow's Mite Series

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 30, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 33,208 views

    The story of the widow's mite has been used to show Christians what their attitude toward giving should be. This message challenges that traditional and longstanding teaching.

    Growing up I don’t think I heard a teaching about the widow’s mite that did not take the widow and make her the standard by which all of us are to give when it comes to our giving. “This poor widow woman came to the altar and gave her last mite. She did that for the Lord! What an example she is to ...read more

    Do you think it would take a miracle to get your life back on track again? So did Bartimaeus. But one day he took a chance and all of his dreams came true. The same can happen to you. Let's consider his story.

    Have you ever felt as if your life has come to a standstill? As if you have been relegated to the side of the road as the rest of the world passes by? Do you think it would take a miracle to get your life back on track again? So did Bartimaeus. But one day he took a chance and all of his dreams ...read more

    The Poverty That Enriches

    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on May 21, 2005
    based on 17 ratings
     | 3,090 views

    No sensible person enjoys being poor. None of us would strive for actual “poverty status” in life. Jesus is referring to another kind of "poverty", one that enriches.

    THE POVERTY THAT ENRICHES “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:3. No sensible person enjoys being poor. None of us would strive for actual “poverty status” in life. In our text, our Lord is not extolling the benefits of being economically poor. He ...read more

    The Meek Series

    Contributed by Mike Hamilton on Oct 28, 2003
    based on 36 ratings
     | 12,419 views

    The meek are those who have gone through "brokenness" (Poor in Spirit), mourned their sinful condition (that which led to brokenness) and now they submit to Christ (meek).

    “The Meek” Matthew 5:5 “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.” Review: The term “blessed” literally means “approved.” True Happiness comes when one receives God’s approval. The fundamental question that everyone who reads the Sermon on the Mount is faced with is, who’s approval ...read more

    Now whether you are young or old, six or sixty, healthy and wealthy, or puny and poor, you can make the rest of your life the best of your life.

    Acts 2:1-4 (A great start) There is an old saying that, "You are never too old to learn." Sure enough, this is one lesson that you're never too old to learn: "So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”(Psa. 90:12) Now, what that means is this: "Teach us ...read more

    Part 11 in a sermon series on the Lord Prayer from Luke 11 & Matthew 6. I gleaned a lot of material from John MacArthur commentary on Matthew.

    Dealing With Temptation Matthew 6:9-13 Intro. – In the preceding petition “forgive us our debts,” the request was that sins already committed might be forgiven, but here we have a plea to be delivered from falling into new sins. The petition in the prayer is primarily for protection. It accepts ...read more
