    Many people get the first thing first...accepting Christ. Many miss putting the second thing second, giving themselves to the local church.

    The Greatest Sermon Of The Year

    Contributed by Scott Cody on Aug 14, 2003
    based on 18 ratings
     | 5,331 views

    A collection of passages from the Bible that tell God’s great story in one brief sermon.

    It’s a bit presumptuous for someone to claim to deliver the greatest sermon of the year, but I make no apologies for today’s lesson or it’s claim. That’s because God’s going to do the preaching today. Sometimes, preachers get in the way of God’s powerful message of hope. So let me quit sharing my ...read more

    Jesus Christ’s entry into Jerusalem reveals Jesus as the promised king, the humble king, and the unexpected king.

    Note: This sermon was introduced with scene 49 from the play "Traveling Light." As Americans, most of us don’t like kings very much. After all, that’s why we fought a revolutionary war in 1776, to be free of the tyranny of a king. Even though the king might be a benevolent king, he’s still a king ...read more

    After almost a century of exile, the Jews returned to find Jerusalem in ruins. They were spiritually unplugged. Ezra is a great story of how they plugged in to what God had for them. Giving an offering was an important step in getting plugged in.

    Showing kindness to others is not only God’s command, but it also is the character of God. Perform acts of kindness toward strangers who cannot repay you and do it in Jesus’ name instead of your own.

     | 42,771 views

    God doesn’t cause trouble and adversity, but He uses trouble to refine some humility in us. While trouble causes some people to raise their faces to heaven and become bitter, others bow their knees before God and become better.

    But Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34) Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you not seven times, but seventy-seven ...read more
