    Be Practical, Not Legalistic Series

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,657 views

    Jesus taught the Pharisees how He desires sincere love for people over meaningless ritual, and how He desires grace over legalism. Those who adhere to ritual and tradition are often unable to love others or worship God.

    In our message today, we will see how Jesus taught the Pharisees that forgiveness and grace toward others is a necessity before worship. The capacity to extend love and mercy is something that must be present in a person’s heart before he or she is able to worship the Lord in spirit and truth, as ...read more

    Certainly the Amalekites thought this would be an easy victory. They were battle tested, seasoned by experience. The Children of Israel were hardly worthy opponents. These recent slaves who wandered in the desert without adequate supplies were nothing but

It is magnificent to watch the rows of charging foot soldiers, the feel the ground vibrate with the gallop of the cavalry and hear the thunder of the cannons as they bellow on the field.

    Just as those brave rescue workers dashed back into the burning twin towers to try to rescue those in peril we too must be willing to help rescue a brother or sister in Christ who is wandering from the truth/

    INTRODUCTION • SLIDE #1 • One of the things I will never forget about the 9/11 attack was seeing brave firefighters, first responders, and other personnel rushing back into the burning twin towers making every effort to try to save those who were in danger. • From what I understand about the ...read more

    Lessons From The Sheep Pen

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Jan 14, 2014
     | 6,144 views

    The Bible compares us to sheep. We all tend to wander and need a Shepherd. As sheep in God's pasture, choose well who you listen to and follow. The Good Shepherd leads us faithfully, firmly, yet lovingly.

    Lessons from the Sheep Pen Intro: [Play youtube clip of crazy sheep sounds] -Yes, the Bible really does compare us to sheep. But as crazy as what you’ve just heard sounds, it is nothing compared to the craziness that comes from people, whether out of their mouths or out of their lives. 1. ...read more

    Jesus Finds Lost Things! (The Lost Son) Series

     | 5,881 views

    This is the third of a three part sermon series I preached during our Month of Missions emphasis. In this particular sermon we considered how the son represents those who willingly and knowingly wander away from God.

    MAIN TEXT - Luke 15:11-32 Over the last couple weeks I have attempted to make a case for us to develop a HEART for MISSIONS – especially here in our “Month of Missions!” In that, I have made it expressly clear that it is all about having a heart that reflects God’s heart! ...read more

    Just as the people of Israel changed and were able to cross the Jordan, conquer Jericho, and live victoriously in the land of Canaan, the same can happen in our lives.Now is the time to exchange wilderness wanderings for walking in spiritual victory!

    The Day The Lord Does Miracles In Your Life by Dr. James O. Davis Do you believe in miracles for today? God does! For forty years the Israelites lived in despair and defeat in the wilderness. They were faithless, fruitless, and failed to realize God’s plan for their lives. Nevertheless, in ...read more

    Two men think about life as they face the end of their journey on earth. Has life been meaningless or relevant? Do they look forward to a joyless process of degradation, a painful descent towards the valley of death, or to something more glorious beyond the horizon?

    [Sermon preached on 11 November 2018, 25th Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] A man of about my age—sixty, give or take a few years—sits down, takes up pen and parchment, and starts to write.

    This message describes those prepared for Christ’s coming and those who were not. The religious crowd is indifferent. The leaders are worried. A widow is watching and an old man is waiting. Magi are wandering and worshipping. Which one describes you?

    Don’t miss Christmas (portions of this sermon are borrowed from illustrations and sermons on Sermon Central) Christmas time is a time filled with traditions. There is the time to get a Christmas tree and put it up along with the decorations. There are presents to buy, so there is shopping to do ...read more

    Israel had wandered from God, even though He sought them to return. He wanted to bless them, but they had to meet God's conditions. The church has much potential, but we too must return to the Lord.

    Now is the Time Hosea 10:12 Over the past few weeks we have considered the condition of Israel and her need for repentance. God loved His people and desired to have a fulfilling relationship with them. Unfortunately they sought the ways of the world and the desires of the flesh while neglecting ...read more

    The Right Time For Love Series

     | 5,575 views

    There is a big difference between love and lust and infatuation which most of our young people today has difficulty in dealing with this issues in their generation. Some of them have wandered from their school, lost their dreams and erred from faith.

    THE RIGHT TIME FOR LOVE? When is the right time for Love. The following verse gave us an idea that we should be wise to control our emotions at the right time.

    In our darkest night, when situations border on the shades of death, in our darkest hour when all help and comfort seems to flee, it is comforting to know that our weary and wandering spirit finds solace in the God of our salvation.

    Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

    We find The Children of Israel on the edge of the promise land. They had been wandering in the wilderness the past forty years. But to possess the Promised Land they must cross the Jordan River at flood stage. Everything was about to change with this step of faith.

    I was eight years old and very surprised that my parents were telling me I would be staying up past my bedtime, but even more surprising is why I will miss my bedtime. The reason was to watch TV. I remember what I saw on TV that night. It was July 20, 1969 and I was watching Neil Armstrong live ...read more

    Message In Jude – The Enoch Passage – Jude 1 V 13-16 Series

    This message today will be in 4 sections and they will be - The “wandering stars” or “comets”; “The Book of Enoch”; “The Second Coming”; “the ungodly”. The ground covered will be most interesting though it is so diverse. This account so relevant to us right now.

    MESSAGE IN JUDE – THE ENOCH PASSAGE – Jude 1 v 13-16 We are steadily working through the book of Jude who was the half brother of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is defending the faith being destroyed by false teachers. Much of his letter is spent exposing these reprobate men who preach false doctrine ...read more

    Sermon # 26 - Be Grateful - Don't Grumble Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 15, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 301 views

    Jonah’s disobedience and rebellion stemmed from an ungrateful heart. The Israelites too had to wander in the wilderness because of their constant grumbling and lack of thankfulness. Let’s learn to set aside all grumbling and replace it with a thankful heart.

    We read in Jonah 3:1-3, “Then the LORD spoke his word to Jonah a second time. He said, "Leave at once for the important city, Nineveh. Announce to the people the message I have given you." Jonah immediately went to Nineveh as the LORD told him. Nineveh was a very large city. It took three ...read more
