    John's Questions; Jesus' Answers

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Nov 9, 2000
    based on 146 ratings
     | 16,883 views

    Sometimes Jesus gives us answers we don’t want to hear...sometimes He answers the questions we should have asked.

    I want you to consider John the Baptist. It is so easy for us to take a cursory look at this man, as we pass through the early chapters of the Gospels, and move on to study the ministry of Jesus with no more thought given to the Baptist, other than remembering him as the one who had the solemn ...read more

    A sermon on the character of Joseph.

    THE MAN GOD CHOSE TO RAISE HIS SON Matthew 1:18-25 So very little is known about Joseph. What we do know is a good example to the men of our day. I. TAXPAYER - Luke 2:1-5 (this automatically puts him in with the "common man") II. PURE - Matt. 1:18 (even though they were "in love" and espoused ...read more

    A Study of the Book of Acts Sermon # 10 “The Ministry of an Encourager.” Acts 4:32-37 One of the great tragedies of our time is that there are so few kind people around.

    We’re going to look at three phases of James’ life. Some of you may be able to relate really well to this. We’re going to look at James, the skeptical brother; James, the saved sinner; and James, the servant Leader.

     | 16,766 views

    This sermon is about enduring personal trials and tribulations in our personal wilderness.

    Mark, the evangelist, begins his gospel in the wilderness. According to him, the good news of salvation does not begin with mysterious angels proclaiming peace but the good news begins in a dry, desolated place inhabited by wild beasts and demons. And that is the message of our text - the promise ...read more

    Unexpected Converts

    Grace. Those most people thought were least likely to become God’s people are the ones who come to Christ; while the ones often thought to be most likely became his enemies.

    Two of the surprises that we come across as we read the New Testament are the people who become close to Jesus, and the people who are alienated from Jesus. It is surprising because it is exactly the opposite of what we would expect to find. We would expect Jesus to be close to the religious folk ...read more

    Who really cares about us? Not this world’s Herods, for fear lashes out destructively. We find care in those who, like the wise men, believe in us and give gifts for the future; and who, like Joseph, sacrifice for us. Epiphany at National Baptist Memor

    Some people have friends. Some people have enemies. Most people have acquaintances. But everybody has people to do business with. The people you do business with -- usually, that’s not an intimate relationship. It’s a distant relationship, limited to transactions. We deal with people who may ...read more

    You Have Found Favor With God

    The Archangel Gabriel said Mary was selected to become the mother of Jesus because she had “found favor with God.” What was it about Mary that caught the Lord’s attention. What qualities did she possess which “found favor with God?”

    As we continue our study of the Gospel According to Luke, I want to focus our attention on the person of Mary. Of all the women of Judah, she was chosen by God to become the mother of the Messiah, the King and Redeemer of Israel. Gabriel said she was selected because she had “found favor with ...read more

    At the first Council of teh Church, held in Jerusalem it was affirmed that the preaching of the gospel brings freedom because the gospel is all about the grace of God, the freely given forgiveness won by Christ on the cross.

    What are we on about as a Church? How do we decide what’s central to our life together? What is there that we must have if we’re to be a truly Christian Church? What are the guiding principles that govern our life together? They’re the sorts of questions that arise out of today’s passage from ...read more
