    Following In The Apostles' Footsteps

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010
     | 2,943 views

    Living according to the pattern that the Apostles have handed down to us.

    Philippians 3:17: “Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you.” --------------------- As a Lutheran convert, I can only go by what others tell me about what we did as a church body 60 years ago. But I’m ...read more

    Living Under Two Trees

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,493 views

    We live under two trees. The first tree was one by which Satan conquered us. But the second tree was one by which Jesus conquered Satan for us. And because of that we live.

    Intro Satan is patient, stoking the power of evil that he believes is stronger than God. He devises a scheme and becomes one with a snake. And there he waits. He will wait as long it takes to entrap and ensnare. And so he waits. He waits for Eve to walk past the Tree of the Knowledge of Good ...read more

    Preaching To God's People

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,833 views

    Preachers don’t want to ruffle feathers, lest folks fly away, startled, and go to a church down the street. And so we preachers often preach anything but God’s Word. But God uses real preachers, not pale, second-rate imitations.

    Intro Today, the Church finds herself wandering on dangerous terrain, for she no longer wants to listen to her preachers. Even worse, preachers don’t want to preach. They don’t want to ruffle feathers, lest folks fly away, startled, and go to a church down the street. And so we ...read more

    The Christian In The Voting Booth

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,605 views

    From a Christian worldview, we see voting as a divine gift that allows us to think the way God thinks, to act the way He acts.

    The book of Proverbs says, “Speak for those who have no voice, for the rights of the dispossessed” (Proverbs 31:8). The prophet Zechariah declared, “Dispense true justice, and show gracious love and compassion to each other” (Zechariah 7:9). St. Paul says to “do ...read more

    The Snake On The Pole

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 8, 2010
    based on 9 ratings
     | 10,469 views

    Let nothing--nothing!--turn your attention from your snake on the pole--let nothing distract you from your Savior on the cross. Through such seemingly silly ways, God gives to you--not a snake on the pole--but His Son on the cross.

    Introduction That whole snake-on-a-pole thing must have sounded insane to some of the Israelites. Stare at a bronze serpent and you’ll be healed? That sounds ridiculous. It must’ve sounded just silly enough that some Israelites started looking for more reasonable solutions to the ...read more

    A Virgin Will Conceive

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 8, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,079 views

    Like Ahaz before us, we don’t want a sign from God--at least a sign that leaves God running the show. What Ahaz did on the outside, we do on the inside. We like things just the way they are, if it leaves us in charge.

    Intro Isaiah’s prophecy of the Virgin giving birth was a sign against King Ahaz. It’s also a sign against us, all fallen humanity. Ahaz was a young Israelite man gone bad. He was of David’s line, but not of David’s faith. And he had become king of the Southern kingdom of Israel, Judah. Ahaz ...read more

    Bethlehem, O Bethlehem

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 8, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,398 views

    Nothing can take Christ’s promises away from you, for He was born in the town of Bethlehem to make it so. And no one can take you away from Him, for He seals that promise in His death and His blood.

    Intro Bethlehem, O Bethlehem of old, how small you are. You are small, so insignificant, that few even count you among the towns of Judah. So small and little-known are you that Micah the Prophet must call you Bethlehem of Ephratah, or someone might mistake you for another: Bethlehem of Zebulon. ...read more

    The Bloodbath Of God

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 8, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,948 views

    The Lord's Supper is the bloodbath of God. For we have the sure Word from the Son of God: “This is My blood shed for you for the forgiveness of sins.”

    Intro “Bloodbath” is not a word that brings pleasant images to mind. If you were to pull some books off the library shelf, you’d find descriptions like these for the word “bloodbath”: Yes, it was a bloodbath, yes it was annihilation of all the inhabitants, yes it was ...read more

    Come To The Table

     | 9,405 views

    Like Mephibosheth we were crippled, expecting death, but we come to the presence of the KING and receive mercy and grace. Come and Eat.

    Come to the Table 2 Samuel 9:1-11 1 John 3:1- “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” The Bible seems to abound in difficult names- names like “Ne-bu-chad-nez-zar” and ...read more

    Persistence In Prayer

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 12, 2010
    based on 6 ratings
     | 21,167 views

    In the Parable of the Persistent Widow, Jesus was training and preparing His disciples to “watch and pray.” Jesus was teaching His faithful about faith in Him, and the life of prayer, which flows from such faith.

    Intro Jesus told His disciples a parable that they should always pray and not lose heart. Jesus was training and preparing them for when they would no longer see Him walk the earth but would, instead, have to “watch and pray.” Jesus was teaching His faithful about faith in Him, and ...read more

    Two Men, Two Prayers, And Two Faiths

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 21, 2010
    based on 6 ratings
     | 11,504 views

    At the Temple were two men, two prayers, and two faiths. One trusted in himself and his righteousness. He went home dead in his sin. The other humbly confessed his sin and believed in salvation outside himself. He went home justified by God’s grace.

    Intro At the Temple were two men, two prayers, and two faiths. The first man was a Pharisee. He’s the good guy. He’s respected. He’s forgotten more about the Scriptures than most of us can remember. He’s an example of how to live an upstanding life. Do as he says and ...read more

    Does The Reformation Still Matter?

    After 500 years, does the Reformation still matter? After all, a recent poll showed that over half of American Protestants didn’t even know that Martin Luther’s writings and actions inspired the Reformation. And this was a multiple-choice question with

    Intro After 500 years, does the Reformation still matter? Do we still need a day every year to remind us of the Reformation? After all, a recent poll showed that over half of American Protestants didn’t even know that Martin Luther’s writings and actions inspired the Reformation. And this was a ...read more

    Saints On Earth And Saints In Heaven

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Nov 2, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,288 views

    It’s All Saints’ Sunday. This is the Sunday when we are reminded, once more, that our God is not a God of the dead but the living. Today, we remember that Christ’s Church not only includes the saints on earth but also the saints in heaven.

    Intro It’s All Saints’ Sunday. This is the Sunday when we are reminded, once more, that our God is not a God of the dead but the living. Today, we recognize that those who have died in Christ are not dead but alive! Today, we remember that Christ’s Church not only includes the saints on earth ...read more

    Remember

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Nov 3, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,465 views

    On this Thanksgiving Eve, we gather to do what God urged Israel to do--to remember. We gather to remember what our Lord has done for us. We gather to remember and give Him thanks.

    Intro The Israelites spent four decades wandering through the Sinai Peninsula. Finally, they arrive on the outskirts of Canaan. They are on the verge of leaving a desert of scarcity and going into a land of plenty. Moses then warns the Israelites how easily they could forget the goodness of ...read more

    End-Times Living

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Nov 10, 2010
    based on 7 ratings
     | 10,945 views

    End-times living won’t be easy. Jesus doesn’t promise that it will be. How can it? This universe is plummeting down to its death, and such death throes are never pleasant.

    Intro The end of the church year draws near. With the end of the church year comes preaching of the end: the end of this creation, the coming of Jesus Christ, and the new creation on the Last Day. When Jesus comes on the Last Day, the world as we know it ends. That probably doesn’t cross ...read more
