    Are You Sick? Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 2, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,953 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

    You have to put away old traditions, customs and laws that are not in conformity with the ways of love, mercy and grace that we are to accept and live by (renewing your mind to accept the teachings of grace, love and mercy as espoused by Jesus in the Gospels and the Apostles in the Epistles)

    May the peace of the Lord be with you. *DAY 9 OF LENT* Our reflection for today is on the 8th Kingdom Culture from the parable below: *NEW WINE INTO OLD WINESKINS* Matthew 9:16-17 King James Version (KJV) 16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is ...read more

    1. Go to God for the answers you need (vs. 14). 2. Let Jesus point you to the right priorities (vs. 15). 3. Put your full trust in the Lord's plan for your life (vs. 16-17). 4. Let Jesus do something new in you (vs. 17).

    Jesus came to make us spiritually whole, not just patch us up.

    "Tell me a Story” is a simple and shorter way to reference Jesus' use of parables. A parable is a relatable way to share a moral or spiritual lesson. While some don’t like parables because they don’t get right to the point. Others love a good story because it forces us to think and ...read more

     | 2,563 views

    There is a time for fasting for the glory of God, and then there are times to enjoy food, company, and good times. However, some people are not satisfied with anything and prefer to stay miserable, indecisive, and closed to what God has in store for them.

     | 2,115 views

    A warning against mixing things that differ.

    THE QUESTION OF FASTING. Matthew 9:14-17. It is a strange thing that the disciples of John the Baptist came to Jesus to ask, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?” (Matthew 9:14). It is unfortunately typical of religious people to be performing some ritual ...read more

    Don’t Mix And Match.

     | 3,800 views

    There is a popular slogan that retail shops are using to make their customers to engage in impulse buying (buying what they did not have plan to buy). This slogan is called “MIX AND MATCH” this means combining things that are not related .

    Besides, who would patch old clothing with new cloth? For the new patch would shrink and rip away from the old cloth, leaving and even bigger tear than before. And no one puts new wine into old wineskin, for the old skins would burst from the pressure, spilling the wine and ruining the skins. New ...read more

    New Testament Legalism Series

     | 2,940 views

    Message expounds Philippians 3:1-7 explaining the problem of Legalism as defined by the New Testament. The ceremonial law in the Old Covenant was fulfilled in Christ and is not required of believers. The moral law is reiterated in the New Covenant.

    We are in a study of Philippians. Our text today is Philippians 3:1-7. Last week we talked from that text about the value of warnings. God warns us because He loves us. Like a loving parent He guides us away from danger into a meaningful life of blessings. To despise God’s warnings is one of the ...read more

    Did Jesus seek to be culturally relevant or bring new faith to an old culture? Were there people who criticized and ridiculed Him? Let’s find out in Matthew 9:9-26.

    Did Jesus seek to be culturally relevant or bring new faith to an old culture? Were there people who criticized and ridiculed Him? Let’s find out in Matthew 9:9-26.

    Preserving The Best Of Both In The Church World

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 12, 2023
     | 947 views

    When anything new comes along, we struggle to know what should be preserved and what should be discarded. This struggle may seem new, but it is an age-old problem. Jesus in this discourse helps us to preserve the best of both worlds and the danger of putting new wine in old wineskins.

    Sermon: Preserving the Best of Both in the Church World Scripture: Matt 9:10-17 “As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew (Levi) sitting in the tax collector’s booth; and He said to him, “Follow Me [as My disciple, accepting Me as your Master and Teacher and walking the same path of ...read more

    We look forward to the kingdom of justice and love Jesus would establish after His Resurrection and the Descent of the Holy Spirit.

    Saturday of 13th week in course For the last few days we have been hearing the prophecies of the minor prophet Amos, who came from the kingdom of Judah–David’s kingdom–to the large but heretical kingdom of Israel.
