    Many today carelessly go around unaware of the imminent danger of dying unsaved and spending an eternity in Hell. They’re not seeking deliverance as they’re unaware they’re lost. Before one can be delivered they first must see they are lost.

    Lost and Found Matthew 18:10-14 Introduction: The famous “Johnstown Flood” of May 31, 1889 was likely the single most newsworthy item in American history between the assassination of Lincoln and World War I. At 3:10 p.m. on May 31, 1889, following a full-day of unprecedented heavy rains, a ...read more

    He wants your relationship with Him to make sense! He don’t want you to follow Him blindly, or be a robot.

    Matthew 18:12-12“What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? 13And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ...read more

    Will you seek the lost sheep of the House of Jesus?

    Today I will be preaching from Matthew 18:11-20 and the first part of the section speaks of one sheep straying from the fold and the Shepherd leaving to go find it.

    How many times have we heard someone say as an excuse to the way they act, "That’s just the way I am and I can’t help it"? Christ is concerned with the way we act, and there are certain characteristics he wants us to develop in our lives.

    HOW SHOULD I ACT, ANYWAY? A. Have you been in an UNCOMFORTABLE situation where you didn’t know how to ACT? 1. Undoubtedly we all have at one time. ILLUSTRATION: It could be that you started work at a new JOB and you had no idea what you were supposed to DO or how to ACT. When you went to ...read more

    Jesus came to save those who are LOST (Matthew 18:11, Luke 19:10) whatever that means. A man in his 90’s recently asked me “Who are those who are lost? Save them from what?” Because whatever lost means, Jesus came to save them from it, This is important.

    Proper 18 (a) By nature we focus on ourselves, trying to be the greatest, to be Number One. But that leads to separation and loneliness. Christ has redeemed us, that we may be united with the Father and with each other. Therefore we live in love.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “One is the loveliest number” Our gospel reading today is in three parts. It opens with the disciples asking Jesus, yet again, who will be ...read more

    That one single lost sheep is as worthy and as loved as a flock of 99 safe sheep or saved sheep. And that heaven rejoices more over the one lost soul that repents than it does over a whole church who already believes.
