The Poverty Of Self-Sufficiency Series

As we look at the first Beatitude this morning, I wonder if those listening to Jesus wished they had a dictionary with them because it must have seemed like He was speaking a different language.

The Poverty of Self-Sufficiency I’ve received some wonderful green and gold gifts recently. This Packer headband keeps my ears warm, and this cap announces my allegiance for all to see. This Packer Christmas stocking came filled with Snicker bars; and I even received some “Lambeau loafers” as ...read more

The Gladness Of Sadness Series

based on 49 ratings

| 23,024 views

In one of the most profound, and paradoxical texts in the Bible, Jesus declares in Matthew 5:4: “Blessed are those who mourn; for they will be comforted.”

The Gladness of Sadness I like to begin my messages with something that makes us laugh when I can (though some of you probably wouldn’t necessarily call it humor). As we approach the second Beatitude however, I realize that frivolity isn’t called for today. In fact, this character quality is no ...read more

I was struck with how “in control” Jesus was, even when events were transpiring around him and people were doing disturbing things to Him.

Meek Does Not Mean Weak This past Tuesday Pastor Jeff and I had had the opportunity to view a screening of the film called, “The Passion of the Christ” with about 4,000 other pastors. We should have known we were in for an unforgettable experience when we saw boxes of Kleenex arrayed on tables ...read more

Look at Matthew 5:6: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”

The Happiness of a Hungry Heart As Jesus continues to communicate the blessings that come from beatitude living, let’s summarize what we’ve learned so far.

Pursuing Purity In An Impure World Series

based on 114 ratings

| 31,922 views

We can con our coworkers, fool our friends and family, play charades with church members, and even deceive ourselves, but we can’t masquerade before the Lord because He sees right through our masks.

Pursuing Purity in an Impure World I remember seeing a cartoon that shows a pastor and his wife deep in conversation. The wife says, “Today let’s do something different. Why don’t you be charming at home and grouchy at church?” Ouch. That really doesn’t apply to me…because I’m often grouchy in ...read more

“You’re blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That’s when you discover who you really are, and your place in God’s family.”

Making Peace in the Midst of Conflict Conflict is everywhere, isn’t it? In a classic Winston Churchill comeback, Lady Astor once said, “If you were my husband, I’d put poison in your coffee.” Churchill responded with his cutting wit: “If you were my wife, I’d drink it.” We laugh at this sarcasm, ...read more

✎ One of my favorite comics is Peanuts. One winter evening Linus sticks his head out the door and calls to his sister Lucy, “Mom said to tell you it’s time to come in.” Standing next to her snowman Lucy says, “Rats.” As she turns to go in she says, “Goodnight friend, I’ll see you in the ...read more

✎ Your heart will have beat an average of 122,400 times every day. None of us want our heart to ask for a vacation or take a day off; we don’t even want to give it a short “coffee break” to skip a few beats.

A passionate pursuit of righteousness (being right with God, right with other people, right in the pirnciples we live by) results in the fulfillment and lasting happiness we all desire.

Spiritual Appetite Matthew 5:6 2-8-04 Intro Last week we found in Psalm 1 a picture of true happiness. We found it as we saw the contrast between two metaphors. A life without God was illustrated by chaff, which the wind blows away. A life rooted in God was portrayed as a tree planted by the ...read more

Evening Service for 8/24/2003 Introduction: I set beside a tiny crib and watched a baby die, and the parents slowly turned to me and said, “Preacher, tell us why?” And I walked away from the nursery where still born babies lie, and a mother stretches out her empty arms and says, “Preacher, oh ...read more

1st in a 12 week series on the Sermon on the Mount

The Beatitudes (Part 1) When we start a new series, it has been our custom to start with some context, and background, explain some big idea that will serve as a unifying them for the series, and then finally zero-in on the particulars of a certain passage. I like that approach… and, quite ...read more

blessed are those who are pure in heart, for they shall see God.

We can see signs that say, “cleanliness is next to Godliness" in schools, sidewalks, and streets. It’s common here in the Philippines. Basically we all like a clean environment. It makes us comfortable and it gives us a clear mind to think. Study shows that students who are exposed to clean and ...read more
