    Jesus understood the needs of His disciples before they knew they had a problem. He was preparing them for the trying days He knew were ahead. He was making provision for them so that they could continue to live victorious lives.

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Dec 13, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,653 views

    When we experience new life in Jesus Christ we might think a change in our external appearance, position, or circumstances will make us more useful to the Master. But you might just miss out on one of the greatest opportunities available to you.

    Last time we talked about how some in Corinth, especially women who were just experiencing new freedoms in the body of Christ, thought it best to divorce their pagan husbands, or remain celibate in marriage in order to be better Christians. In the context of an overly-sexualized society, and of a ...read more

     | 3,010 views

    God loved us so much that He acted against His own best self-interest, by becoming human. In doing this, He exactly contradicted the secular world's view of leadership and government.

    Epiphany 2012 Against His Own Self-Interest Spirit of the Liturgy One of the insights that Pope Benedict has shared with us over the past few years continually comes to mind when I read the Gospels.

     | 8,321 views

    Independence Day for us is when we came to Christ. Christ set us truly free. Some see this freedom as license; but true freedom has constraints. It’s not the right to do as we want but the opportunity to do what is right.

    HOW TO ACT AS A FREEMAN 1 PETER 2:15-17 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear ...read more

    Jesus served, he served gently, and he served people unlike himself. He calls us to do the same.

    The Discreet Messiah (Isaiah 42:1-9) 1. At Vacation Bible School, the teacher stacked a bunch of apples on one end of a table with a sign saying, "Take only one apple please - God is watching." On the other end of the table was a pile of cookies which an overly-generous mom brought over. Her sign ...read more

     | 5,370 views

    Jesus took passages from Leviticus, taught them, and repackaged them so that His disciples can live out the principles behind them.

    Midrashim Leviticus on the Mount (Leviticus 19:17-18 with Matthew 5:21-24; Leviticus 19:15-16 with Matthew 7:1-5; Deuteronomy 19:15 with Mathew 18:15-17) 1.

    We must be careful in ministering not to "jump the gun" on our assessments of a situation and choosing our words carefully is a must.

     | 3,498 views

    This sermon is how faith "the size of a mustard seed" actually gives us the ability to offer forgiveness to others.

    "Faith and Forgiveness" Allow me to begin today with some self-disclosure: I do not understand exactly what faith is, or how it works. But I have a couple of ideas from the lesson that might be helpful. More on that in a moment, but first I’ve got to share some humor. Have you ever ...read more
