    Surprise Endings: When? Series

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Apr 6, 2019
     | 6,031 views

    We might think Christ will judge us based on our correct doctrine, faithful church attendance, or moral behavior. But in our text Jesus offers a different standard: our response to the needy people of this world - the least of these.

    Surprise Endings: WHEN? Matthew 25:31-46 Introduction We are at the end of our four-part sermon series called Surprise Endings. This parable is different in some ways. It does not begin with “the Kingdom of heaven is like” - leading some to believe it is not specifically a parable. It is the ...read more

    The Last Page Series

    Jesus teaches us about the final judgment. This sermon uses the analogy of reading the last page of a book to explain the parable. It helps the hearer to see how this supports the doctrine of faith alone, and it encourages them to serve.

    The first thing that I always do when I read a new book is to read the last few pages. Its something that I always do, and I can’t help it or stop it. I love reading the last scene and then reading the book to figure out what that last image portrayed means, or the reason and significance behind ...read more

    What difference can we make? Why can't others go in our stead? Perhaps I am not cut out to make Disciples.

    Matthew 28:16-20 I worked at many things before becoming a Pastor. At one time, I was an Engineer and traveled from steel mill to steel mill, from country to country.

    It has been said, “A Blind man’s world is bound by the limits of his touch; an ignorant man’s world is bound by the limits of his knowledge; a great man’s world is bound by the limits of his vision." God expands Isaiah's vision!

    The Least Of These

    Modern Christians are going to be horrified when they stand in Judgment. Attending church, praising the Lord, living faithfully, and paying tithes aren't even on the radar of what Jesus is expecting of us. We're supposed to be serving 'the least of these!'

    THE LEAST OF THESE Matt. 25:31-40 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE SPHINX’S RIDDLE 1. There’s an ancient Greek story about a Sphinx that troubled the city of Thebes. He would ask passers-by a riddle.

    God has created human beings with the need to be loved and accepted. And God has created the church to be the place where God's love and acceptance can be offered and realized. We must learn to accept others and Christ has accepted us.
