The Real Noah

Contributed by Chris Kelly on May 20, 2014

After the movie "Noah" with Russel Crowe, I felt that people needed to rediscover who the bible reveals Noah to be. The differences are stunning.

The “REAL” Noah Anybody here watch the recent movie “Noah” with Russel Crowe? I went last week. It was pretty good as a movies go, but as I watched it, I thought it would bring up a lot of questions for people who didn’t really know what the bible says about Noah. ...read more

Real Compassion Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Oct 22, 2009

Jesus’ feeding of the 4,000 shows us that real compassion sees the need, feels the need and meets the need.

In nearly 24 years of pastoral ministry, I have been asked some tough questions about the Christian faith. One of the toughest questions regards the problem of evil and why a good and all-powerful God allows people to suffer in this world. Peter Kreeft, a Christian apologist and philosopher, has ...read more

The Real King

Contributed by Christopher Martin on Nov 22, 2009

A Sermon for Christ the King Sunday preached on 11/22/2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa.

Today is Christ the King Sunday, the final Sunday of the church year, so it would seem appropriate to sing the great hymn “Crown Him with Many Crowns”, and in addition, to talk about kingdoms. Today in our Gospel reading, we are taken into a conversation between two different kings. And it is ...read more

Real Fellowship Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Feb 20, 2010

What does the word “fellowship” bring to your mind? Do you think of coffee or fried chicken or church socials? Paul had a wonderful fellowship with the Philippian church that didn’t have anything to do with any of those.

I love our times of fellowship, don’t you? We joke all the time about how much Baptists love to eat, but I think that one of the reasons we like to eat so much is because of the fellowship that goes along with it. Those times are wonderful and I wouldn’t trade anything in the world ...read more

"Real Power" Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Sep 29, 2010

We cannot please God by means of our own effort, but only by means of the Holy Spirit’s power.

God calls on everyone to reject the idea that they can justify themselves by their own good works. That’s what everyone who has yet to come to Christ is doing - seeking to justify themselves in the sight of God, in the sight of others or in their own sight. Religion leads to the “comparison ...read more

"Real Purpose” Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Oct 29, 2010

We need to be sure we avoid being distracted from setting our hearts on developing a growing love relationship with God.

In Matthew 6, Jesus emphasizes our love relationship with God. He uses the word “Father” 11 times, showing the importance of that relationship. Our relationship to the Father as His children is a most remarkable and incredible relationship. “For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave ...read more

Real Change

Contributed by Colin Thornby on Nov 6, 2010

Relationship with Jesus leads to real change, as it did for Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10)

There are a lot of places the preacher can go with this text, and I suspect many of the hearers and readers will have been exposed to most of them. One of the traditional, and absolutely valid and true, expositions includes Jesus’ choice to minister to those who were outsiders. Tax ...read more

Real Change Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Nov 3, 2011

If we were doomed to live the same life over and over again for eternity, would we choose the life we are living now? If not, then how can we make real change? We do it when we submit to God’s discipline. Then with Christ’s help, admit and quit our sin.

William Alexander, in his book The $64 Tomato, asks the question, “If you were doomed to live the same life over and over again for eternity, would you choose the life you are living now?” It’s a thought-provoking question, but not so much as the implied follow-up question: “If the answer is no, ...read more
