  • God Serves Us Even In Eternity

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,326 views

    We live as those who keep our lamps lighted--our lamp of faith, fueled by the Holy Spirit whom God the Father has sent through His Son.

    Intro Veiled underneath the noise and rancor of the new-year celebrations, a low thrumming makes itself known. It is a thrumming undercurrent of sad acceptance pervading the new-year festivities, a presence of wistfulness and nostalgia--and yes, even of muted sorrow. The year has fled and gone, ...read more

  • Gazing On God In All His Glory

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,200 views

    What it would be like to see God and gaze upon His glory? Just listen to Isaiah’s experience.

    Intro What it would be like to see God and gaze upon His glory? We think it would be an awesome sight, don’t we? Oh, no doubt, it would fill us with awe--so much that fear would seize every corpuscle of our being. But it would not be awesome; it would be awe-full. Main Body Just listen to ...read more

  • Bread Of Life

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,797 views

    Jesus is manna for the wilderness.

    Intro One month in the wilderness and the Israelites are hungry, without food. That wasn’t in the travel brochure when Moses freed us from the Egyptians. Now our feet are tired and our legs weary. Sand and stones irritate in our sandals. Snakes and scorpions infest the ground we walk. ...read more

  • Following In The Apostles' Footsteps

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010
     | 3,099 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
     | 7,727 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
     | 3,953 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
     | 8,740 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
     | 10,594 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
     | 4,306 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
     | 8,873 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
     | 7,239 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

    Contributed by Richard White on Oct 8, 2010
    based on 6 ratings
     | 9,624 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
     | 21,589 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

  • Character Traits Of Successful People

    Contributed by Richard Hedges on May 31, 2011
    based on 35 ratings
     | 24,548 views

    Keep God in your graduation speech by using brief characterizations of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, and George Washington; with an unexpected conclusion about faith in God.

    CHARACTER TRAITS OF SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the greatest civil rights leaders of the 20th Century. He is probably best known for leading this nation to adopt social changes which have enhanced freedom and liberty for all races. His willingness to make ...read more

  • Whosoever Means Me Series

    Contributed by Richard White on Mar 3, 2012
     | 4,962 views

    Jesus did not call the qualified...he qualified the called.

    Whosoever means me, Anyone means everyone Matthew 9:9-11 John 3:16/ Luke 9:23 **Almost every churchgoer know John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Why is this so easily known? It ...read more
