    A reflection on pride and humility based on the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector

    I love Bible stories, and I believe many of us who grew up in the faith find them to be a beautiful source of teachings that still resonate with us today. Stories like David and Goliath, Elijah, Joseph, Moses leading the Israelites in the desert, and Noah's ark have been a constant companion in our ...read more

    What we have in this story is an account of Jesus paying tribute money. He is in Capernaum, which is His headquarters, and where he lived most of the time. The “temple tax” was collected annually, from every Jew over twenty, for the support of the templ

    -AD 29- Galilee Lesson: Taxes Paid (Exodus 30:11-15) Matthew 17:24-27 Moses is the one who began the practice of collecting taxes.

    The Pharisees criticized Jesus for eating with tax collectors. They thought they were better than Matthew, as they went around acting holy. Outward show doesn’t determine a person’s relationship with God. It's about the heart.

    This morning I am going to touch on the subject of “hypocrisy.” It’s difficult to preach on this subject matter because none of us are without some form of hypocrisy in our life. Jesus told us not to point out the splinter in our brother’s eye until we have removed the log in our own eye (Matthew ...read more

    A stewardship sermon Jesus’ words on paying taxes to Caesar

    You know, Nelson and I talked about it, and we almost skipped doing stewardship sermons these next two Sundays. Instead, we were going to make a deal with you all. If you meet the stewardship goal, we were going to put a clock on the pulpit. If you exceeded the goal by $5,000, we were going to look ...read more

    A reminder to live as a people set apart by God, for God, and for the people; instead of being a people of, by, and for the world.

    INTRO This morning, we’re going to dove-tail onto last week’s message. Okay, now if you remember from last week, the Pharisees asked Jesus by “what authority are you doing these things” — these things being the healing the crippled and the lame, feeding the poor and ...read more

    This is the story of the calling of the tax collector Levi. The focus of the message is that no one is beyond the grace of God. Jesus was not so much concerned about what Levi was, but about what Levi could become

    Simon Peter and Andrew, James and John (the sons of Zebedee), and the other James and Thaddeus. Why choose sets of brothers? What's with the FAMILY thing? Wouldn't there have been A CONFLICT OF INTEREST? Not when Jesus is leading.

    Part 3 - Matthew 10:2-4 - YOU ARE ASKING FOR TROUBLE CHOOSING ME! I have always been a bit of a loner. I was not the sort of person you wanted in your team. I didn't fit.

     | 4,598 views

    Jesus asked a "black sheep" to be one of the 12 apostles. It probably caused a stir among the apostles, and sure did with the Pharisees! But it changed Levi's life and he celebrated it with a party for Jesus!
