    What is it that we all have that is exactly the same? How are we similar? There are a lot of areas where we are different. But how are we all the same?

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2011) A. In Luke 19:11 27 Jesus tells a familiar parable, & for that reason I hesitate because when you talk about something familiar, people tend not to listen. They think, "I already know all about that." ...read more

    The sermon uses "Linebacker Evangelism" (which can be seen and/or purchased at sermoncentral.com) to set the stage for a Friend Day later in the month.

    OPEN: VIDEO: Linebacker Evangelism (offered on-line by Sermoncentral.com) APPLY: I fell in love with that video the first time I saw it because it makes fun of the idea of forced evangelism (something I HAVE to do!) while at the same time highlighting why we often don’t talk to others about our ...read more

    Sometimes we leave God out of our desires and plans. We must always go to God for guidance, especially when we face life’s challenges. Our desire to imitate the world may seem righteous at first, but it will result in destruction.

    How many of you have wanted something that someone else has? Well, you’re not alone. Envy and coveting have been around since the beginning of time. One of the Ten Commandments even says, “You shall not covet…” It’s too bad that the Israelites and the elders in the ...read more

    Even as Jesus suffered offense at the hands of others, every Christian shall likewise suffer. How we respond to this offense is important.

    Don't Offend MY Children, or Else! Mark 9:38-50 It is a bit odd that this week’s gospel text from the lectionary begins with John’s response to what Jesus had just said. It is poor practice to start in the middle of a paragraph. Before we can analyze this text, we need to ask: “What was John ...read more
