     | 3,551 views

    Jesus came down to do the Father’s will.

    “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out. 38 “For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 “This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but ...read more

    It wasn’t the faith of this little girl that moved Jesus to come. It was the faith of a father in desperation, crying out to Jesus. Nothing is more powerful than the desperation of a father for his child. THERE IS ALWAYS A DESPERATE ASPECT TO FAITH.

    Part 7 - Matthew 9:18-26 - THE DESPERATE CRY OF MY FAITH! I’ve conducted funerals. I know the kind of grief that hangs in the air with anticipation like storm clouds ready to flood the earth with rain. I know the kind of grief which needs to be expressed in tears and in saying goodbye. Yes, I know ...read more

    3rd Sunday in Lent, Series B. Preached 3/15/2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa

    Our Gospel reading for this morning is one that tends to catch a lot of people off guard. When you think of Jesus, you don’t usually think of Him as someone who gets angry, who resorts to violent behavior. We think of him as a tender, compassionate, easy going person who wouldn’t hurt a fly. ...read more

    What is it that distinguishes a mediocre shepherd from a really good shepherd? The answer is in one word alone: sacrifice.

    The Good Shepherd Griffith Baptist Church – 3/22/09 A.M. Service Text: John 10:11-18 Key verse: John 10:11 - I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

    Behold The Lamb Of God Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Apr 7, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,202 views

    Why is the Apostle John the only Gospel writer to record the words of John the Baptist referring to Jesus as the Lamb of God? We will discover the answer to that question in this topical message titled Behold the Lamb of God.

    http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com/ The words that John the Baptist chose to describe Jesus are very interesting. As a matter of fact, Jesus is only specifically called the Lamb of God twice in the whole Bible—once here and once a few verses later in verse 36. There is no doubt that John the ...read more

    Knowing When To Break The Rules

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,684 views

    Jesus’ encounter with the Syrophoenician woman admits several interpretations, all of which teach us: give what is needed rather than what is wanted; teach others rather than do for them; watch your motives.

    Just when you think you have your life routines down pat, settled and secure, something comes along and upsets the whole pattern. Just when you think you have your life all organized, something comes up to discombobulate it! Just when you think you know the rules by which you govern your life, ...read more

    We tie gift-giving to our own self-acceptance. Appropriate gifts to Christ announce that indeed we are acceptable to Him.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC, December 24, 1987 (Christmas Eve) Out there right now, running around with a harried look, and practically waving fistfuls of dollars in their hands, there are those folks who for one reason or another have a hard time with gift giving. They have waited ...read more

    Walking with God should be easier than we make it. Should be like breathing... a basic block of life! Breathe in the things of God, breathe out ministry. Simple... but profound. It starts by examining your life...

    Life: The Unexamined Life Galatians 6: 7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become ...read more

    A short sermon for a morning service on All Saints’ Day, encouraging people to know that Jesus shares in our grief, and promises life for all believers for all eternity!

    A Catholic priest was driving a devout but simple member of his congregation along a country road in Ireland one day when he accidentally ran over a hare. He stopped the car, and the two men got out and walked over to where the animal was lying. It wasn’t moving, and looked to be dead. But then the ...read more

    From Luke 10 let's talk about presence, peace and hospitality (Material adapted from M. Scott Boren's book, Missional Small Groups, Chapter 8, pg. 131- 162)

    HoHum: Recruits in the army are told, “Always dig your foxholes big enough for two.” More effort to do so, but it could save a life. Making room for more people in our lives is good and missional. WBTU: Missional- Missionaries to other countries have two different approaches. 1) ...read more

    What is your addiction and can you have mercy on those with other addictions?

    I had my first interaction with cold brewed coffee today and I was confused. If it was cold brewed should I drink it as ice coffee or can I warm it up? Drinking ice coffee in December is odd though in line with science that says we should drink cold drinks in the winter because that turns our ...read more
