    The Response To Jesus: Zacchaeus Series

     | 11,687 views

    So, Zacchaeus was named bright, clean or pure. Unfortunately he grew up to be the complete opposite. One of the first things we learn of Zacchaues from Luke 19 is that he is the chief tax collector in the region. He’s not just a tax collector like Matt

    The Hebrew name Zacchaeus is taken from a Hebrew word Zakak which means to be bright, clean or pure. I can imagine that when Zaccheaus was a wee little baby his mom and dad had bright hopes for him. Names had significant meaning for the ancient Jew. Mary named her son Jesus the Greek version of ...read more

     | 3,580 views

    The main difference in how a man stands, when he stands before God, is whether or not he stands with humility or arrogance.

    He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and regarded others with contempt: “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, was praying thus, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like ...read more

    "Breaking Barriers"

    based on 1 rating
     | 16,854 views

    A sermon about Jesus calling all sinners.

    “Breaking Barriers” Mark 2:13-17 One verse in here that really stands out to me is verse 15. It says: “And as he sat at dinner in Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were also sitting with Jesus and his disciples—for there were many who followed him.” There were many “tax ...read more

    Mercy Instead Of Sacrifice

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,896 views

    The Pharisees criticized Jesus for eating with tax collectors. They thought they were better than Matthew, as they went around acting holy. Outward show doesn’t determine a person’s relationship with God. It's about the heart.

    This morning I am going to touch on the subject of “hypocrisy.” It’s difficult to preach on this subject matter because none of us are without some form of hypocrisy in our life. Jesus told us not to point out the splinter in our brother’s eye until we have removed the log in our own eye (Matthew ...read more

    A sermon about authenticity.

    Luke 18:9-14 "Be Real" So, who are you, really? I'm not talking about the person who appears to have everything perfectly under control, or the persona who has been created, layer-by-layer, through the painful, embarrassing or shameful experiences of life... ...the protective shield we build ...read more

    Is it permissible for a believer to lead a dichotomous life? Here’s what the word of God teaches about hypocrisy, and the kind of life that God expects us to lead as His disciples.

    Jesus’ words to his disciples in Luke 12:1, “Meanwhile the people had come streaming towards Him by tens of thousands, so that they were trampling one another under foot. And now He proceeded to say to His disciples first, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, that is to say, beware of ...read more

    The Little Man With A Big Need

    This is a popular text with preachers, and I have heard several intriguing titles for it besides the one I am using today.

    Here are some of them that I recall: • A man who went out on a limb for Jesus • The Salvation of Shorty the Racketeer • The Short Scoundrel that Seriously Sought The Saviour • Seeking the True Vine By Sitting In A Tall tree Any of these titles would be appropriate for this sermon, but I have ...read more

    Paul had prayed all his life, as we should. “The prayer of the humble pierces the clouds.” God always hears our prayers.

    Thirtieth Sunday in Course 2022 It’s helpful for us, two thousand years since the events, to consider some background on this story, this parable, of Jesus about the Pharisee and the tax-collector, sometimes called the “publican.” The word “Pharisee” comes directly from the Greek. It means ...read more

     | 10,559 views

    We can’t go around saying, “Thank God that’s not me” because in truth it is us. Just like us, the people who are out there, people who perhaps make us uncomfortable are sinners who need to know the grace of God through Jesus Christ in their lives. The o

    A Preacher dies and is standing in line, waiting outside the Pearly Gates.
