Simon The Pharisee

Contributed by Jelle Horjus on Nov 1, 2005

While reading this story we are all focused on what the woman does. It is Simon however on whom I would like to put the spotlight: the reality is that we are like the Pharisee, and not like the woman!

Simon, the Self-righteous Pharisee - sermon on Luke 7: 36-50 - The sinful woman. That is the name the translators of our translation gave to this paragraph in Luke’s gospel. Another title would have been more appropriate however. Maybe something like ‘Simon, the proud Pharisee.’ For the deepest ...read more

In the parable of the Good Samaritan Jesus tells about the inter-action of six characters to a wounded man. This sermon briefly analyzes each character.

Let’s begin today with a fun little quiz. I am going to name some neighbors from TV shows and you try to identify which show it was from. Some of these shows are really old so, unless you are my age, you may not know them. But all these shows are being shown in reruns. So let’s get ...read more

More Than Enough Series

Contributed by John Sears on Jan 13, 2012

Life without a dream or a vision is bland. But big dreams and big goals often require big budgets and lot’s of help. Sometimes it can seem we don’t have enough (especially in a small church.) What does God have to say about this?
