    The Advice That Can Divert You From God’s Will

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 23, 2018
     | 3,880 views

    Looking at those who shouted at Christ while He was on the cross, this sermon explores how their demands would have led Christ directly away from doing God's will. How often does the advice the world gives us every day do the same thing?

    ADVICE FROM THE CROWD: “Good advice” from the world can divert you from God’s will for your life. - Mark 15:29-32. - While Jesus is on the cross, the crowd throws several suggestions His way. When you dig into them a little, it’s interesting to see how deeply counterproductive they are. There ...read more

    The biblical view of people recognizes the existence of both a physical and spiritual aspect of their being.

    A. GOD CREATED THE FIRST PERSON-MAN “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Gen. 2:7). 1.

    The Benefits Of Imprisonment Series

    When our base drives are confined by the shackles of God’s love, they are morphed into rockets of exploration. I believe Paul and Timothy invite us to join them in prison and slavery, and, thereby, to become agents of unimaginable liberation.

    Three stories Boethius had the misfortune of being a well known and well liked Roman Senator, philosopher and teacher at the time a Ostrogothic king came to power in Italy. Boethius was imprisoned probably because of his immense influence on the thinking of the general population. While there, he ...read more

    -Simeon prophesied about the impact of Christ on the world . . . it WAS TRUE THEN, and it is TRUE NOW! NOTHING HAS CHANGED!

    To open this sermon I used 3 current examples of what is flying in the face of Christianity in our nation, in our culture, and in our society. LUKE 2:25-35 25 And there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel; and ...read more

    The world appears to be tolerant of God's people then moves to tolerance with some compromise; and finally to intolerance. This is displayed in the lives of Daniel and his three friends.

    1. I did not grow up regularly attending church. I learned Psalms 23, 100 and the Lord’s Prayer in public school – we recited these along with the Pledge of Allegiance. 2. “Times, they are a ‘changing” No prayer in school No Bibles in most schools The shift away from God is getting greater Benjamin ...read more

    Satan’s strategy did not succeed in dividing the church, but the very opposite occurred; peace settled over the assembly as the deacons took charge of some areas of service formerly falling to the apostles. The gospel was preached throughout Jerusalem....

    At a Guys Night Out hosted by Cornerstone Church in San Antonio TX, we took the time to honor San Antonio's First Responders. 30 men got saved! I am speaking to them as I say; Now that you are saved, There are some things you need to be doing.

    There was a time when I was a child that I wanted to be a first responder. Almost all children go through a phase like this, some stick with it and others move on to something else. At one time, I wanted to be a fireman, and then I change my mind and thought that a police officer would be so much ...read more

    Jesus' trial before Pilate was a hodge-podge of differing desires. But they are all just background noise to what was really going on, and what God was using to bring about His purpose.
