  • The Hidden Work That Brings God’s Power

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 18, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,060 views

    This encounter makes no sense (why would Matthew just get up and follow this man) unless you know the behind-the-scenes encounters that happened prior. This message unpacks the need for that hidden work in our lives to see God moves powerfully.

    WHY DOES MATTHEW FOLLOW A STRANGER? The public commitment was preceded by behind-the-scenes work. - Matthew 9:9. - Matthew 4:18-22; John 1:35-42. - Matthew doesn't follow a stranger. He had a previous relationship with Jesus. This public moment was preceded by behind-the-scenes things. - The ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 30, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,872 views

    It's a fact worth pondering: the tax collectors and sinners LIKED being with Jesus. That's not usually how the lost feel around us. What did Jesus have that we don't?

    AN IMPORTANT FACT: The tax collectors and “sinners” liked hanging out with Jesus. - Matthew 9:10. - It’s easy to rush past verse 10 and get to the rest of this story, but it’s worth settling for a moment here and thinking about its implications. The tax collectors and ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 6, 2014
     | 2,225 views

    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

  • Did Jesus Come To Repair The Old Way?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 13, 2014
     | 5,739 views

    Jesus' comment on wineskins is confusing to many. What does it mean and how does it tie into His comments right before that on fasting?

    DID JESUS COME TO REPAIR THE OLD WAY? There are some of the same elements, but we need to know that this is a new thing. - Matthew 9:14, 16-17. - There will still be fasting – Jesus doesn’t dismiss it. Instead, He says it’ll happen when He is taken away from them (when the ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Tuit on Jul 3, 2013
     | 6,911 views

  • Spiritual Climate Change

    Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Jul 22, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 26,136 views

    There are two main climates I want to preach on today, the first an atmosphere in our church that is conducive for a move of the Spirit of God, and the second is an atmosphere in our church and our personal lives that is attractive to the lost.

    Spiritual Climate Change The basic premise of global warming is that certain things done over an extended period of time will heat up the earth. Our message today is about improving the spiritual climate in our lives. There are things that we can do that effect our spiritual climate personally, in ...read more

     | 3,677 views

    To urge people to deliberately begin to love and to associate with at least one lost person for the purpose of unapologetically inviting them to answer Jesus’ call to repent

    I want to begin this morning by showing a deeply moving and theologically packed video clip that not only is animated and frivolous, but also 3 months too early in the year. But, this does help introduce a certain character we’re going to learn from this morning. (Show clip from “The ...read more

     | 3,775 views

    I worship God because He has the authority to forgive my sins and He shows me how much He loves me. Why do you worship?

    How many times do we allow stuff to get in our way of loving others? Think about it. How many people have you loved that you don't talk to now? Are there family members you hate to be around?
