    Jesus Came Down

    Contributed by Ian Johnson on Nov 16, 2005
    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,077 views

    Is it any wonder that the world finds it hard to follow Jesus? Often The only Jesus they are ever presented is hard, harsh and unloving. We are Jesus to the world; our actions speak louder than fifty street preachers. Jesus came down!

    Our world is obsessed with being busy. It can be hard to slow down and take time to prioritize Jesus.

    INTRODUCTION • Busyness is not just about put in too many hours on the job. • Just as people struggle with overworking, so they can also struggle with staying busy when they are not working their “day job.” • There is a constant state of busyness between work and everything else that fills our ...read more

    In the Bible, God speaks to us, and in prayer, we speak to him. And the two are interdependent in their effectiveness. The Scripture teaches us to pray and shows us what to pray and how to pray and tells us the basis for prayer and fills us with encourage

    This is the last Sunday of Prayer Week. The reason we sandwich Prayer Week with a sermon on prayer and a sermon on the word of God is that these are the two great means of grace that God uses to conform us to the image of his Son (Romans 8:29; Colossians 3:10). The Interdependence of Prayer and ...read more

    Pray especially for holy priests, brothers and sisters. Pray for those who are preparing for or struggling in marriage. And pray for those who have chosen to remain unmarried in a celibate state, and for those who are trying to run from the divine call.

    For many decades this day has rightly been called “Good Shepherd Sunday,” because both of our New Testament readings speak of Jesus as Shepherd of our souls, Shepherd of the One Flock, the Church. Both of these precious proclamations have Old Testament roots. Let’s start with the story of Abraham ...read more
