    Its sad but true that we forget that our responsibility is to lead the lost to Christ, and to remember that we were once lost too.

    If you were organizing a church you would not go to Jensen and Quitman to look for members would you (an area frequented by prostitutes) Mat 5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

    Stop putting so much effort in trying to win back former church attenders and go after the people no other churches want.

    I. Introduction A. This evening I want us to think outside the box: 1. That is, outside of the box that is the 4 walls of this church. 2. Perhaps even outside the box of our preconceived notions of what evangelism is all about. B. I want to start with asking Sister Van Brocklyn to come and share ...read more

    The Twelve, Part 5

     | 3,655 views

    This is part five of a seven-part series on Jesus’ disciples and the principles of discipleship. This message focuses on Matthew.

    One of the most interesting disciples that I have studied is Matthew or "The Tax Collector" as he is known. Just like the other twelve, Matthew will also prove that God can use anybody that He chooses to. God at times picks people that we are not sure He should pick. When God puts together a team ...read more

    Are You Sick? Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 2, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,959 views

    Jesus tweaks the argument of who is in control just a little bit to introduce the real sickness in mankind - sin. He is in control of that too. Are you willing to give Him control over your total cleansing from evil?

    We’ve spent a couple of weeks in Matthew chapter 8 talking about control and authority. Matthew shows us that Jesus has it—over the seen and unseen universe—but that we as humans are loathe to give up control over our own lives and give it to Him. We saw a couple of notable examples in a Gentile ...read more

    Today, let us be reminded by the words of Jesus, "But go and learn what this means: "I DESIRE MERCY AND NOT SACRIFICE." For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance." (Matthew 9:13 NKJV)

    Mercy Not Sacrifice, Matthew 9:9-13 Introduction There is the story of the man who came down from the North Carolina Mountains. He was all dressed up and carrying his Bible. A friend saw him and asked, "Joe, what’s happening? Where are you going all dressed up like that?" Joe said, "I’ve been ...read more

    Part 2 - Matthew 9:9-13 - Jesus, Did You Just Call Me Scum? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 20, 2010
    based on 14 ratings
     | 7,721 views

    The Pharisees can't see why Jesus would want to "eat with such scum?" (Matthew 9:11). JESUS AGREES THAT THEY ARE SCUM! He just says, "Healthy people don't need a doctor-sick people do." (Matthew 9:12). There it is again - REDEMPTIVE POTENTIAL.

    Part 2 - Matthew 9:9-13 - JESUS, DID YOU JUST CALL ME SCUM? In Kiev, MONEY CHANGERS sit in little booths with a small window. You can't see their faces and they mutter to you in Russian as you hand over American dollars in exchange for Grivnas. Whenever I exchanged money I seemed to be getting ...read more

    Why are people still turning up to Jesus as John's disciples and wanting TO KEEP ON PREPARING THE WAY. Jesus has come. The Bridegroom has arrived. Get with the plan, people! He's here. All that is left is to celebrate the wedding!

    Go And Learn What This Means

     | 2,553 views

    We all have a perception of ourselves and others that can often be greater (or lesser) than how others perceive us to be. Most important, however, is our ability to practically learn of God’s TRUE perception of our lives.

    Go and Learn What This Means Theme: Walking as ones in need of being healed from our sins. INTRODUCTION A. Our lives are full of perceptions: 1. How we perceive ourselves. 2. How we perceive others. B. A number of people (with honest hearts) realize – when confronted – the need to be saved and want ...read more

    Why focusing on sacrifice causes trouble and how focusing on compassion (as Jesus instructs us to) brings better results.

    WHAT'S WRONG WITH SACRIFICE? Sacrifice is not intrinsically bad, but the problem is when we say that more sacrifice equals a better Christian. - Matthew 9:13. - There is a lot that is good to sacrifice. Like many other things, though, making it the ultimate goal of our Christian life puts us in ...read more
