    All men are building, all builders choose a foundation. All foundations will be tried. Only one foundation will stand the storm of judgment.

    Morality is not just an arbitrary abstraction. God is hurt by what we do, and we ourselves are hurt by immoral behavior. But God in Christ can give us a new heart.

    I am a part of a group of five ministers who get together about once a month as a support group. Our intent is simply to share what is going on in our lives and let the others comment with any wisdom they may have. At the last meeting of the group, one of the members was talking about the way he ...read more

    Who is this Jesus? That is the question that underlines the gospel of Mark. He is a man like us and yet so much more. Throughout his gospel Mark raises that question and he begins in his opening passage about John the Baptist.

    Some church services today resemble a Broadway play where the pastor is the playwright, with people leaving more entertained than elevated, for a church can only be as spiritual as their leaders and you cannot give what you do not have, especially when Hollywood has infiltrated the church.

    We all face judgments from other people. Jesus faced that too. As He began his earthly ministry, Jesus experienced two completely different responses from two different towns. How will you respond?

    People make judgments about us all of the time. It’s not so much that they are judgmental, but that they get to meet us or get to know us based on certain associations. I know, by virtue of the fact that I’m a pastor, when I introduce myself to people, they make an immediate judgment. If they ...read more

    The self-righteous religious rulers of Jesus’ day didn’t want much to do with sinners - but that was precisely the point of Jesus coming to earth! They wouldn’t receive sinners, but Jesus would ~ and He did! Will you?

    Paul was accused by Jewish Christians of watering down the Christian message ... making it more appealing to Gentiles (non-Jewish Christians). Paul preached that many of the religious laws observed by the Jews for centuries did not need to be followed.

    The devil does not mind a person having a faith, going to church, being religious, doing deeds of service, using Christian vocabulary as long as that person does not experience saving faith in Jesus Christ and His merits.

    How easy is it to loose sight of the goal? I set up a portable basketball goal in the sanctuary to illustrate my point. Mary and Joseph lost Jesus in the midst of doing their religious duties? Stay focused on the goal.

    based on 4 ratings

    If we are not careful, we can be so tangled up in a long string of religious ideas and rules that we wind up confused and discouraged. Many things about Christianity and the Bible are very complicated, the Gospel is not complicated.

    Purpose: To explain the meaning of the Gospel. Aim: I want the listener to commit (or re-commit) his life to spreading the Gospel and rejoicing in the resurrected Christ. INTRODUCTION: Life can get very complicated. An illustration of this is a traffic sign at an intersection of two superhighways ...read more
