A Servant People

Contributed by Spencer Homan on Nov 19, 2009

This sermon focuses on Jesus’ challenge for an "Upside Down Kingdom" challenging us to be first by being last. This is a call to except that challenge and become first place in the things God wants us to be excellent in.

Mark 10:35-45 35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. "Teacher," they said, "we want you to do for us whatever we ask." 36 "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked. 37 They replied, "Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory." 38 "You ...read more

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 22, 2010

Matthew 10:23 says "I tell you the truth, the Son of Man will return before you have reached all the towns of Israel." Reminds me of that song by the Bee Gees in 1968 "I've Gotta Get a Message to You. Hold on! Hold on!"

The Confrontational Gospel

We try so hard to make the gospel easy to accept, but the way Jesus presented it was bound to be confrontational in a sinful world.

Passage: Matthew 10:34-42 Intro: Sometimes the words of Jesus are so different from the image we constructed that it shocks us. 1. and often we try to soften them, reinterpret them, make them less offensive and more acceptable. 2. but these statements this morning are really clear. 3. and in ...read more

Reproduce Yourself

Do you know the very first command God gave mankind right after He created them in His image? Be fruitful and multiply. The ultimate goal of Jesus when he came to the earth in the flesh was to save mankind who in a sense fell out of His image through sin.
