    The Graciousness Spectrum Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 3, 2014
     | 3,411 views

    We humans and yes, we believers, are not all good or bad, black or white. We exist on a spectrum; at one end is Christlikeness, graciousness, truth, love. On the other end is self-centeredness, withholding of grace, compromised truth, and control.

    The Graciousness Spectrum (Proverbs 22:8, 10-12) 1. Do you make fewer phone calls than you used to? 2. According to UPI, “…making phone calls is the sixth most common use of a cellphone, with first being sending text messages and second being receiving texts. Reading personal emails ...read more

     | 4,031 views

    Foolishness is not just a general concept, it shows itself in concrete situations, like the three we will examine this morning.

    When Foolishness Becomes Creative (Proverbs 22:13-14, 16) 1. Sometimes you wonder how some creative people could have such little sense. 2. A New York fugitive that jumped bail and fled from one of upstate New York’s biggest pot busts in history has been caught in Oregon after 20 ...read more

    Called To Be Super-Heroes Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 1, 2015
     | 5,437 views

    In the spiritual realm, we are called to be God’s super heroes. We can only be super heroes on earth, because — when we are in heaven — we will not need these unique skills.

    Called to Be Super-Heroes (I Timothy 6:11-17, 20-21) 1. [This is a combination Norwegian and Chinese joke] A young man walks through New York Chinatown and notices a shop with the name Hans Olaffsen's Laundry.

    Our Subjective Spiritual Struggles: They Matter Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 18, 2019
     | 2,606 views

    Although many of our struggles as followers of Jesus are with the world, the flesh, and the devil, sometimes they are about monitoring our inner affections and deep seated thoughts.

    Our Subjective Spiritual Struggles: They Matter (I John 3:19-24, 4:7-21) 1. Today I begin my message with some comments about modern art. It’s easy to understand modern art. If it hangs on a wall, it’s a painting. If you can walk around it, it’s a sculpture. How many surrealists does it take to ...read more

    An Eternal Weight Of Glory Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 18, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,632 views

    We should be grateful for God’s earthly, physical blessings and protection, but we should be even more grateful for the eternal blessings he gives us.

    An Eternal Weight of Glory (2 Corinthians 4:7-18 with Psalm 116) My view is that 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 is based on Psalm 116 (the 2 Cor. passage is a midrash). See if you agree. The “starting text,” Psalm 116:3-19 3 The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold ...read more

    A Surprise Or A Plan? Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jan 25, 2021
     | 1,937 views

    The church began as a Messianic Jewish movement, but became a trans-cultural Messianic movement. How can we explain this?

    A Surprise or a Plan? (Romans 9:22-33) 1, I heard about a pastor after he would preach a man would say to him, “Pastor, that was a warm message today.” or the man would say, “Pastor, that was a warm sermon” or he would sometimes say, “I appreciate those warm words.” One day the preacher caught him ...read more

     | 4,005 views

    Jesus is not just a good shepherd, He is The Good Shepherd.

    The Lamb Who Is the Good Shepherd (John 10:11-18, 27-30) 1. Two people were watching a man drive a herd of sheep through the main street of a small town. “I thought shepherds led sheep. I didn’t know they drove them with a whip.” “They do,” the other fellow remarked. “That’s not a shepherd. That’s ...read more

    Issachar And Zebulun Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 3, 2022
     | 3,353 views

    The sages read Genesis 49:13-15 very differently. They glorified Issachar while explaining away Zebulun's calm superiority in a way that does not denigrate Issachar. Zebulun was an aggressive tribe on the ascendancy, but Issachar was comparatively weak.

    Issachar and Zebulun Among Jacob's sons from Leah, Issachar was the fifth and Zebulun the sixth (Genesis 30:18-20). 18Then Leah said, "God has given me my wages because I gave my maid to my husband." So she named him Issachar. 19Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob. ...read more

    He Who Endured Hostility Series

     | 3,646 views

    Jesus Christ is so much at the center of everything that we can sometimes learn more about him from the Old Testament than we can the New!

    He Who Endured Hostility (Isaiah 50:4-11 with Hebrews 12:1-3) 1. Who we are is either a great blessing or a great curse. "You can be pleased with nothing when you are not pleased with yourself."

    When God Delights In His People Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 29, 2015
     | 12,017 views

    God does not grudgingly exalt His people, nor does he do so mechanically. God is extremely delighted to exalt His people — at the right time. [in spite of all the negative baggage we associate with Israel’s past]

    When God Delights in His People (Isaiah 62) 1. A Swiss guy, looking for directions, pulls up at a bus stop where two Americans are waiting. "Entschuldigung, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?" he asks. The two Americans just stare at him. "Excusez-moi, parlez vous Francais?" he tries. The two continue ...read more

    The Power Of Contrast Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jan 25, 2016
     | 5,210 views

    There is nothing like a contrast to make the point; Jesus used the idea of contrast to highlight Who He is, and to distinguish external religion from true devotion.

    The Power of Contrast (Mark 12:35-44) 1. Illustration … a few years ago,. Trying to tell someone about the Windfarm on I-65 in NW Indiana.
