    Why Christ Came Into This World - Part 4

    Contributed by Paul George on Oct 21, 2003
    based on 20 ratings
     | 2,418 views

    Christ came into this world to save sinners.

    There is no need to speculate as to why the Son of God left heaven’s glory and in the body of humiliation dwelled among men. He came to save sinners. He came full of saving grace and truth. He came because it is not God’s will that any be lost but all repent and be saved. He came on behalf of those ...read more

    The grace of the Lord is readily available to every sinner who will come to the Lord for forgiveness and salvation.

    I want us to see Jesus - His attitude toward sin, and His attitude toward sinners. And in order to do that, let's look at 3 people and their encounters with Jesus.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2022) TEXT: Matthew 9:10-13; John 4:1-42; Luke 7:36-50, 19:1-10 ILL. There is a story about a pilgrim standing outside heaven, longing to enter, watching as others were ...read more

    The sermon looks at the response of Jesus to the reaction of the religious leaders of the day in His encounters with sinners and publicans in His story of the man who had all he thought he needed in this life only to discover his eternal destiny was relat

    Sinner’s Prayer

    Contributed by Glenn Abel on Jul 6, 2012
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,598 views

    This sermon was preached in response to reading a book that attacked the idea and validity of using the sinner’s prayer.

    "What About the Sinner’s Prayer?" Luke 18:10-13 The “sinner’s prayer” gets a bad rap. It has become popular today to trash the idea of “the sinner’s prayer.” Some very popular recent writers have reduced the idea of a sinner’s prayer to the level of superstition or magical incantation. In my ...read more

    The Parable of the Prodigal Son has a happy ending only because the prodigal remembered the kindness and love of his Father.

    Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Course 2013 Sinners Forgiving Sinners Of all the parables of Jesus, this one of St. Luke’s is the favorite among God’s people, because we are a Church of prodigals, an assembly of sinners redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ.

    That Sinner!

    A sermonette (I will use this at rest home services) about a bloke who had it so right with God it really make things quite messy in his relationships with his fellow man. Hey I'm just pleased I'm not like him. ;)

    Jesus had a subtle and sometimes not so subtle way of getting through to people. I like how he delivers a message to a group of people who thought they had it bang on right with God, to a group of people who were confident that they had it right with God. Jesus tells them a story that actually cuts ...read more

    If you look up the word sinner and find the definition my picture could be right beside it. And your picture could be right beside mine.

    “Sinner” “Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven,[f] Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as ...read more

    Jesus told a story (parable) about two men who went to the Temple to pray. One man was changed, but the other remained the same. Let's take a look:

    (Based on a message preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO; not an exact transcription) Introduction: Some folks have become concerned about where they’re going when they die.

    The foundation of character is a personal concern for one’s sin.

    A. INTRODUCTION: LUKE 18:9-14 Christ reproves two sins, (1) pride in one self, and (2) despising other people. He uses a negative illustration of the Pharisee who is guilty of both. He uses the Publican as a positive illustration of humility and meekness. B. SIMILARITIES OF THE PHARISEE AND ...read more

    Two sinners attend church, but clearly for two different reasons and the leave church walking in diametrically opposed directions. What happened at church to make this difference?

    Sinners At Church Luke 18:9-14 "And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

    How Could God Love Someone Like Me?

    Contributed by John Lowe on Nov 4, 2013

    It was a scandal. Jesus was hanging out with some folk who were not well-respected. In fact, they were religious and social outcasts – and Jesus is not only eating with them, He is enjoying their company.

    9 September 2005 How Could God Love Someone Like Me? Matthew 9:9-13 Introduction As we get started this morning, I want to begin with a question. If Jesus were walking among us today, would He eat at Lauren’s sports bar, “Goony Birds?” If you’re thinking that ...read more
