    The woman taken in adultery is story that brings out the worst in hypocrisy, judgemental hate and accusation. Yet it is a beautiful account of forgiveness. It has so many lessons to apply to life in this world.

    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

    What About Other Religions? Rev. Brian Bill 5/13/01 As has been the tradition for the last seven years, Mt.

    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

     | 2,844 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

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jul 6, 2004
    based on 7 ratings
     | 3,220 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.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,269 views

    In a dialog with the religious leaders of Christ’s day, Jesus describes Himself as the "Good Shepherd". When we get a hold of what Christ was saying, then we will find security, peace and comfort. Today we will explore a little more closely what it means

     | 4,971 views

    Blessed is one of those religious words that are hard to translate into realistic terms. Perhaps the closest we can come is “happiness.” The psalmist says that the blessed person is the one who understands forgiveness. But we can’t understand the reality

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,803 views

    What do you expect from Jesus? The people, disciples, and the religious leaders had some very specific expectations of Jesus on Palm Sunday. He shattered all of them, just as He shatters our expectations as well. And that's a good thing!
