    Have we as the Church become the older brother? Do we refuse to join the party, pointing to our service, sacrifices and sinlessness?

    The true “righteous” person is not someone who flawlessly observes all the “rules”, but someone who begs for mercy and is accepted by God--despite having plenty of human imperfections. To illustrate this, Jesus tells a story of two people who are polar o

    In preparation for this sermon, I did my taxes last week…so I have lots to say about that tax collector! How do we get to Heaven? By human effort? By keeping the rules? That works only if we could obey perfectly, which excludes all of us. Occasionally someone comes along who thinks ...read more

    Humility 2016

     | 6,342 views

    Humility is disdained by this world but the Kingdom of God and the citizens of Heaven are those who are contrite and humble. Sometimes we need to examine ourselves to see if we are prideful or humble. Hopefully this sermon helps us with that examination.

    Luke 14:1-11 (read from the Bible and have the congregation follow along) Luke 14:11 NIV “All those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Humility … humility in relationship to God comes from knowing that God is God and we are ...read more

    Do we continue in a lifestyle if sin? Is our life filled with any form of violence? Do we yearn and live our life based on corrupted wisdom? What sort of worship we bring before God? Is pride evident in our lives?

    Opening Illustration: Narrative of Krupy who used to be our worship leader in the Middle East. As soon as pride and corrupted wisdom entered his heart, God eliminated him from ministry and his calling was stunted. Introduction: The devil was at one time a righteous angel!

    One of the chief reasons for the current downward spiral of America is our refusal to humble ourselves before God. As long as we refuse to acknowledge our sins before God, we will not be blessed.
