    Jesus’ sense of humor shows up in a big way during some awkward dinner table moments, esp. when He talked about people and the excuses they offer. Link included to formatted text, audio, and PowerPoint template.

    Parable of the Great Supper Luke 14 http://gbcdecatur.org/sermons/GreatSupper.html One of the chief Pharisees has invited Jesus over for dinner, and we’re gonna have some fun tonite! v. 1 “they watched Him” = laid a trap v. 2 this diseased man was deliberately planted so Jesus would heal him and ...read more

    The Meaning Of Love

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 8, 2001
    based on 231 ratings
     | 11,863 views

    Jesus teaching on love is totally radical. He pushes us to practice love, rather than giving excuses, and he points out that to love is to be a neighbour to anyone we might come across who needs our care.

    You may remember the Beatles, back in the 60’s singing "All you need is Love." There’s no doubt that there was a great truth carried in those simple lyrics. If we were to look around the world today, it’s clear that a good dose of love would cure many of the world’s ills. But it’s easier said than ...read more

    "The Man & His Wife...were Not Ashamed." By Dr. Winson Butler

    Contributed by Winson Butler on Apr 5, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,939 views

    Excuses are the nails used to build a house of failure. When are we going to admit that we are responsible for our sin actions rather than shift the blame as did the first couple of Genesis. Let’s examine the facts together!

    Introduction We’d all like to say, "It was their fault..." We’re always looking for someone else to blame. Blame shifting is what we do best. No one wants to accept responsibility for their own actions. It’s has always been, "Someone elses fault..." This isn’t something new either. It dates as ...read more

    In the Journey to Jerusalem, we can see: 1)The Determination Executed (Luke 9:51-53), 2) The Discipleship Error (Luke 9:54-56), and finally: 3) The Diversion Excuse (Luke 9:57-62)

    The Journey of the Sri Lankan’s aboard the MV Sun Sea, now that they are being processed in Canada, continues to be an eventful one.

    Lying To The Holy Spirit Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 4, 2017
     | 15,939 views

    If God killed every Christian who lied, the churches would be empty. This does not excuse lying, but it does acknowledge our fallibility. The message is a study of one couple that attempted to deceive God and what He did about their deceit.

    “A man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, and with his wife’s knowledge he kept back for himself some of the proceeds and brought only a part of it and laid it at the apostles’ feet. But Peter said, ‘Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit ...read more

    Leaving God Out Series

    based on 7 ratings
     | 14,070 views

    It seems like a no brainer for believers to include God in every aspect of life? So what would cause a believer to leave God out? Our Family Minister, Scott Jewell explores some of the excuses people use in this message.

    Read Hebrews 11:8-12 Each week, we have a group of ministers that meet over lunch to encourage each other and sometimes we plan sermon series together. This month we’re focusing on obstacles to healthy relationships. Last week, Jeff spoke about only giving the leftovers, today I want to discuss ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 9,965 views

    This is a sermon about dong more for God with what we have. No one is excused from working for God. This message is a challenge for Christians to do more and learning that they have been given the abilities, resources, gifts etc to do so.

    The Parable of the Mina Introduction: Ill. Once a man said, “If I had some extra money, I'd give it to God, but I have just enough to support myself and my family.” And the same man said, “If I had some extra time, I'd give it to God, but every minute is taken up with my job, ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 7, 2023
     | 2,473 views

    We live in a world today where all the boundaries have been blurred and are increasingly, becoming blurred. We have no fixed point for marriage, no correct lines for morality, no division of good or bad in gender or behaviour or attitudes. We examine what GOOD is. Do good to all.

    MESSAGE 16 - 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 5:21 – EXAMINE CAREFULLY AND HOLD FAST TO WHAT IS GOOD – NO EXCUSES! {{1Thessalonians 5:21 “but examine everything carefully.

     | 15,929 views

    Hypocrisy! The bane of the church. The most common excuse for non-believers. But it is also something God HATES! So much that he struck down dead a Couple for it. This sermon examines 4 signs of hypocrisy, and what to do about it.

    Answering Atheism

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Aug 16, 2015
     | 4,233 views

    Militant anti-theism claims that religion is the root of all evil...yet this worldview presents an intangible definition of evil. The problem with atheism is moral, an excuse to live any way one pleases...while Christianity offers a clear view of life.

    “The fool has said in his heart, there is no God,” Psalm 14:1. Jesus warned against lightly calling people fools in Matthew 5:22. “Anyone who says 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of Hell.” A “fool” is not an unintelligent, dim-witted person. The term ...read more

    Peculiar People

    Contributed by Mike Bryant on Jun 8, 2021
     | 3,968 views

    Israel's desire for a king is used to illustrate the temptation we face to be more like the rest of the world. But even though the world's view of us often chafes, it is God's plan that we be conspicuously different.

    I) After Moses brought the nation of Israel out of Egypt, they did not have a king for many years. A) Unlike the nations around them, they were led by men and women, judges, who were direct intermediaries between God and man. B) Early on, the people tried to make one of those judges, Gideon, into ...read more
