    Being childLIKE instead of childISH.

    Greatness and Humility Part 1: The Advantage of Being “Little” Matthew 18:1-10 June 3, 2007 We all like to be looked up to, don’t we? Sure we do. We like recognition for a job well done, we like having titles, position, and status. I don’t think anyone goes around thinking, “You know what? I ...read more

    Message discussing the idea that we must be careful to not lead others into sin.

    Greatness and Humility Part 2: Considering the Needs and Weaknesses of Others Matthew 18:1-10 June 10, 2007 Introduction I’m going to do something a little different today, given the fact that we will be observing the Lord’s Supper here in a bit.

    How Should I Act, Anyway?

     | 4,352 views

    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

     | 9,615 views

    The Kingdom of God is an upside down kingdom where to be a child is to be great and the proud are rejected.

    “An Upside Down Kingdom” Main Passage (Matthew 18:1-4 ESV) “… The disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like (little) children, you ...read more

    It's Not About Me; It's About My Dad

    based on 29 ratings
     | 6,331 views

    So what is Jesus telling us about his kingdom? If you want to be great, become small. God isn’t looking for us to be independent, but dependent. The strongest in the kingdom of heaven is the one who realises that they have no strength themselves, but t

    Intro: My dad’s bigger than your dad! My dad’s stronger than your dad! My dad’s smarter than your dad! My dad’s faster than your dad! Does this sound familiar? The cries and taunts of childhood, usually tossed at our mortal enemies. Why did we use such words, what purpose did they serve? ...read more

    God's way of measuring greatness differs greatly from ours. God measures with love and service and not accumulation, accomplishment and attainment"

    Matthew 18:1-9 “Measuring Greatness” INTRODUCTION For millennia the Season of Lent has been a time for Christians to reflect on their relationship with God and on Jesus’ call to discipleship, in anticipation of Easter. These forty days preceding Easter were first used as a ...read more

    One Is The Loveliest Number

    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,456 views

    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

    Born Again To See And Conquer!

    Contributed by Victor Ramlall on Mar 7, 2015
     | 5,160 views

    It's not the wise and sophisticated intellectuals admired and looked up to in the world, who are foremost in the kingdom. We need to be born again as a little child into the Kingdom of God, relying on Him always!

    At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the ...read more

    Jesus is the reason for the season, and because of that everything about this season can point back to Him in some way.

    The Truth About Christmas Carols Now that Thanksgiving has passed, we’re starting to hear Christmas carols everywhere. Radio stations have them on 24/7, we hear them in movies and on TV; it’s getting harder and harder to find some sort of media that doesn’t have Christmas carols ...read more

    Disciples Contend For Greatness

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 28, 2015
     | 5,604 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.

    Capernaum (53.1) Disciples Contend for Greatness Matthew 18:1-10 A LITTLE CHILD BECOMES AN OBJECT LESSON: At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

    The Greatest

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 12, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,100 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 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. Today is the day that, and let me be straight forward with you, today is the day that we talk about money. About giving, about generosity. But I’m not going to try and guilt you ...read more
