    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,629 views

    A focus on salt as a distinctive flavour and a preserving agent as a metaphor for Christian distinctiveness in a pluralistic world.

    Intro: We are taught by Jesus in this passage that we are to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. But what do these words mean? It is important that we understand our purpose in this world and so we should endeavour to understand these metaphors that Jesus uses, that we might ...read more

    Contributed by Jeremy James on Nov 21, 2004
    based on 9 ratings
     | 2,265 views

    Security does not come from the things of the world but instead it comes from faith in God.

    In the passage Jesus is being arrested and Peter in anger and defense of Jesus draws his sword and hacks off one of the soldier’s ears. Peter was doing everything in his power to protect the person he loved. He was protecting Jesus, he was protecting his way of life, and he was securing ...read more

    Christ’s description of being a Christian is not necessarily what the "real-world" preceives it to be.

    All Saints Day (observed) November 2, 2003 Matthew 5:1-12 We live in a world of instant gratification. We want it our way right away. Is your internet too slow? Get high-speed internet! Does it take to long to gas up your car? Pay at the pump! Is snail-mail really that slow? Send email. Is your ...read more

    Instead of following after the "power and prestige of the world" how about following the humility of Christ?

    I visited with an incensed high school student last week. Apparently her father had decided they weren’t going to get a Christmas tree or put up any of the other usually seasonal decorations. Instead they would have “Birthday” balloons and a birthday cake. And the presents would be arranged around ...read more

    When people find themselves in the "pits" of the world, give them encouragment that there is a way out.

    Comfort Zone

    Contributed by Timothy Spivey on Dec 24, 2004
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,151 views

    This sermon talks about the incarnation of Christ and it as God’s move of intimacy toward the world.

    This is the season to use T. S. Eliot’s masterful phrase about the Incarnation: "the intersection of the timeless with time." Before it was Eliot’s, that way of looking at the birth of Jesus into human form was captured by John: John 1:1-4, 14, 16-18: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word ...read more

    We live in a world starving for godly character. Daniel is a young man with an abundance of it!

    1. Illustration of Gerald Ford. • Gerald Ford died recently. He has the dubious honor of being the only vice president, and later president, who was never elected to those offices by the people. • Over and over, those who have spoken of him have mentioned his character and his integrity. ...read more

    Have you noticed how this world system is constantly trying to influence our decisions?

    1. All of us have a STAMP OF APPROVAL. • That is, by our words & deeds, we either approve of things or we disapprove of things. I like that. I don’t like that. • When people ask our opinions, we often quickly share our feelings on a topic or 2 or 3. • I have to agree that there are times when this ...read more

    The rich young ruler chose the cares of this world rather than his own salvation

    The rich young ruler was asking - What do I do? What a question! Others have asked this in the Scriptures: • Pilate Matt 27:22, Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? • Paul - Acts 9:6, And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me ...read more

    The Right Touch Mark 1:40-45 5/18/08 PSCOC Introduction: Sayonara! We have increasingly become a culture of less touching. We are likely to greet one another here with handshakes and mild side-hugs! Yet, in culture at large there is uneasiness about touching in general. Maybe that is because ...read more

    She is one of the most influential people in the world today, but how is she influencing people?

    She is the quintessential rags to riches story.
