    The New Versus The Old Series

    Contributed by James Snyder on Apr 22, 2013
     | 8,452 views

    Today's Christian rarely enjoys the Christianity envisioned by Jesus because it has been hampered by religion, which destroys the freedom available to us in Christ.

    Every time some tragedy happens, people get very religious. The problem with getting religious is it does not last very long. Once the crisis has calmed down and things get back to normal, religion seems to go out the window. The reason this happens so often is that religion is never the answer it ...read more

    Introduction A number of years ago at the prodding of a neighbor, who was also a church elder, my wife and I ventured into the mystical world of gardening.

     | 35,950 views

    The true “righteous” person is not someone who flawlessly observes all the “rules”, but someone who begs for mercy and is accepted by God--despite having plenty of human imperfections. To illustrate this, Jesus tells a story of two people who are polar o

    In preparation for this sermon, I did my taxes last week…so I have lots to say about that tax collector! How do we get to Heaven? By human effort? By keeping the rules? That works only if we could obey perfectly, which excludes all of us. Occasionally someone comes along who thinks ...read more

    1. Matthew 7:24-29.

    1. Matthew 7:24-29. Jesus wraps up the sermon on the mount w/ a pretty nice ending. 2. This is such a great way to end a sermon.

    All of us are on a search for something that will satisfy us and will satisfy us completely. But we don’t find it. That’s because most of the things in life don’t satisfy; they just leave us empty and still wanting more. In John 6 Jesus does something

    In the parable of the 10 Virgins, Jesus uses a wedding to describe the excitement about the Rapture. But it's also a warning. Half of the community of believers will not be ready when He comes. The Midnight Cry should wake us all to preparation.

    THE MIDNIGHT CRY Mt. 25:8 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Appearances can be deceiving 1. A film crew was on location deep in the desert. One day an old Indian went up to the director and said, “Ugh. Tomorrow it rain.” The next day it rained. 2. A week later, the Indian went up to the ...read more

    Whether you are a sun, moon, star, or a 5 talent, 2 talent, or 1 talent person, a lamp or a candle on a stand, you are important. You have a job to do that only you can do. And God expects you to let your light shine.

    Workers hired at different times of day. Represent? 1. Time they were saved? 2. Amount of 'heat' they took? 3. Proportion of Loss? 4. Amount of Work they did? We complain God isn't being fair. God responds that He knows what's best!
