    Nutgrass Of The Soul

     | 13,503 views

    Tough, arrogant and persistent, sin (like nutgrass) will (in Malachi’s words) be burnt to stubble to make way for the Kingdom. Don’t be childish -- our faith is not a game. The prophets have warned us -- and now, someone greater than a prophet is here.

    Nutgrass of the Soul Matthew 11:2-30 Rev. Cynthia T. Hinson – St. Paul United Methodist Church – Conroe, TX – July 7, 2002 The very last book of the Old Testament is Malachi, and the last verses of the last chapter of that book read thus: 1 "For behold, the day comes, burning like an oven, when ...read more

    Jesus reveals His true character – one which you will find at once comforting and challenging – part 1

    A kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they drew. She would occasionally walk around to see each child’s artwork. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, "I’m drawing God." The teacher paused and said, ...read more

    Taking hold of salvation requires a diligence on our part.

    Introduction: When I went to school at Freed-Hardeman, we were required in our English literature class to read part of John Bunyan’s book Pilgrim’s Progress. It is perhaps the most well-known religious allegory ever written. For those of you who never had an English teacher force you to read ...read more

     | 4,279 views

    Should Christians ever doubt - and what should we do if we do?

    Doubt: Mt 11:1-15 This morning’s Gospel reading shows how doubt comes to that great man of God, John the Baptist. How come you might ask? Last week’s reading showed John the Baptist being very sure that Jesus was the Messiah. He had heard the words of God the Father announcing that Jesus was ...read more

    Don’t be defeated because a miracle hasn’t come yet.

    Are You He That Should Come? Matthew 11 There are 2 people that are noted as being foreordained/predestined in the OT to come in the NT. One obviously was Jesus, and the other was John the Baptist. It is interesting to see the correlation between these 2 men, as Luke says they were kin folks ...read more

    A sermon that looks explores Jesus teaching that Christians have a childlike...not a childish faith

    This morning I would like you to think about your faith. When is your faith child like and when is it childish? This morning’s Gospel points out there is a difference. There is a difference between child like faith and being childish with our faith. Jesus gives us a child like faith. He wants us ...read more

    Are You He Who Is To Come? (Who Is Jesus?)

    Contributed by Spencer Homan on Dec 7, 2007

    This is a sermon that focuses on the true identify of Jesus.

    “Are you he who is to come?” “Are you he who is to come, or should we look for another?” The question itself seems harmless enough. A simple yes or no answer would seem quite sufficient for such a straightforward question. And yet, it was not… that simple of a question, and Jesus did not ...read more

    Misunderstand is accidentally or deliberate. Jesus dealt with the accidental by bringing witnesses, going to the root of the issue, and affirming the questioner; with the deliberate by refusing to make others happy, being true to Himself, letting actions

    It’s easy to be misunderstood. Misunderstanding happens all the time. It is very, very easy to be misunderstood. One way to be misunderstood is to be vague and hazy. Just mumble under your breath and utter ambiguities, and I guarantee that you will be misunderstood. Some of you are devotees of ...read more

    In order to understand the Spiritual World we need to become like children. Start learning again; overcome offence; and above all things we need the presence of God. We need to put God First and be filled with the Holy Ghost and FIRE!

    I started this message by teaching on how we can "feel" the presence of God. This is something that happens when we receive His Holy Spirit. Being filled or baptized in the Spirit means that we opened ourselves to His presence and when we have full conscience of God's presence we can suddenly ...read more

    In this sermon, we learn how to have wholly devoted ears by listening to God, listening to others, and listening to only what is good.

    Introduction: A. The story is told of an elderly man who stopped at a hearing aid clinic and asked about their prices. 1. The salesman said, “Well, our prices range from $25,000 all the way down to $1.50.” 2. “Wow, that’s quite a range,” said the customer, ...read more

    God hides himself from the arrogant and reveals himself to the humble, childlike people who love him.

    Imagine that you hear the roar of a car engine outside your door. As you look out, you see a red sports convertible, and in it is a young man with flowing hair and mirrored sunglasses. You can see that he is well tanned because he doesn’t have a shirt on — just shorts and flip flops. ...read more
