    The Test Of Whether God Is Your Father Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 5, 2021
     | 1,783 views

    The religious leaders were proud of their heritage as children of Abraham, but that kept them from receiving what Jesus was offering. This message looks at the test of whether God or Satan is our father as well as four danger signs that we are heading in the wrong direction.

    THE TEST OF WHETHER GOD IS YOUR FATHER: The answer is found in what you do with Jesus. - John 8:42. - John 8:39b, 44. - Many focus on a generic God. - The teaching of the Kingdom is not a generic morality. - We each need to make a decision for or against Jesus. DANGER SIGNS: 1. Counting on ...read more

    Trial 0f Jesus - Caiaphus Series

    As we look at the trial of Jesus, we will see how the religious leaders disregarded their own laws regarding the legal proceeding of a capital crime (one worthy of death). In this integrated gospel account, we will also see the fulfillment of prophecies written by David.

    It was Preparation Day, the day before the Passover Sabbath. In the darkness of the early hours of the morning, Jesus was arrested. The crowd of guards and soldiers led him bound to Annas. Although Annas had previously been the high priest, Caiaphas his son-in-law was the high priest that year. ...read more

    A Man was Blind from birth; disciples were Blinded by tradition and the Religious Leaders were Blind by choice. Here we learn some lessons about blindness. All of us may have some blind spots. Gaining a new perspective.

    Sermon – Jesus Confronts Blindness Scripture Lesson - John 9-1-15 “Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. 2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" 3 Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his ...read more

    Status Or Substance? Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 1, 2004
    based on 9 ratings
     | 2,885 views

    We cannot go far in the Kingdom of God until we get the lust for status under control. This is true in the material realm, as we shall see in a message planned for next week, and it is true in the religious realm as well, as we shall see this week.

    Status or Substance? (Matt. 6:1-15) Note: here is my bulletin insert I wrote up along with the sermon. Sermon follows. Giving, Prayer, and Fasting (notes for Matt. 6:1-15) Since modern Judaism no longer has the Temple (in the Biblical sense) many Rabbis teach that charity, prayer, and fasting ...read more

    Why Jesus Did Not Subscribe To "Majority Rules"

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jul 6, 2004

     | 3,255 views

    Jesus knew that a majority view is often not gotten until evidence of success is obtained- especially among the religious leaders. Peter took Jesus aside and began to rebuke Him when He heard that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by

    Why Jesus Did Not Subscribe to the "Majority Rules" Theory John 7:7-17 Illustration: Having many friends and being rich are great blessings, but popularity and success do not guarantee a happy life.

    In this chapter God brings a charge of disobedience against Israel (v. l). The religious leader had replaced true worship of God with ritual prostitution. The nation had gone down hill spiritually and morally, breaking the laws God had given to them. The

    The people of God got bored with their religious mountain and Aaron decided their religion needed a better "show." (Golden Calf) Moses came off of the mountain with a glow. A Glow is better than a show! Moses got his glow from the Word of God. Forget

    Our society values diversity and recites the mantra of religious tolerance. Jesus made it clear that that only way to heaven is through Him. His teaching, by its very nature, was and is, very exclusive. In order to help us know how to live and minister

    Undeniable Jesus

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 24, 2018
     | 5,400 views

    I was reminded this week about the power and influence a person’s testimony can have on others, religious or not. Saints where are our stories of faith? Where are our testimonies to the power of Jesus name? Have our voices become muted to the truth?

    Acts 4:1-22 Undeniable Jesus Message: Oscar Wilde has been attributed with the phrase “no good deed goes unpunished”. The phrase suggest that in order to accomplish a truly good deed one has to suffer bad consequences in order to see a good outcome. Much of Christian ministry is like this. We ...read more

    Two men went to the Temple to pray. One is a religious leader. The other is a dishonest, man who has no qualms about ripping people off for his one advantage. Which of these two do you think is going to leave in a right relationship with God!

    Nicodemus comes to Jesus at night. He discovers that his broken religious system cannot save him. Jesus tells him he must be born again (born from above - born by God). He explains to him to Look to Jesus and Live!

    “Look to Jesus and Live” John 3:1-17 “Religion can be boring. You don’t have to do any research to prove the point. Just compare the crowd at church with the crowds that attend baseball or football games. Apparently there is no excitement at church that compares with ...read more

    Turning Complaints Into A Celebration

    Contributed by Paul Sizemore on Oct 10, 2016
     | 7,518 views

    Jesus was often judged harshly by the religious authorities in his day. The Pharisees and the scribes believed wrongly that he was condoning the sins of people whose company he shared. Instead Christ came to make of them "new creations" (2 Cor. 5:17).

    “Turning Complaints into a Celebration” Luke 15:1-10, Proper 19-C September 11, 2016 “Grumble”: It’s an interesting word isn’t it? And here we find it in the second verse of our Gospel lesson today. “And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying: ...read more

    Jesus' Answer To Prejudice And Discrimination

    In this my adaption of a sermon by Eric Carey-Holt, I have focused on what I believe to have been the Lord’s original intent in His parable of the “Good Samaritan”, addressing the problem of racial discrimination, and socio-economic, gender, and religious prejudice.

    (If you have found this sermon helpful, we invite you to visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info) One researcher found in a survey that 49% of the people interviewed said they would be able to tell the story of the Good Samaritan if asked to do so, 45% said they ...read more
