    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,935 views

    In order to be in the will of God, believers today must be filled with the Holy Spirit. Anything else is utterly ridiculous.

    1. Two contrasts and two comparisons (17-18) 2. To be filled with the Spirit is to overflow with praise (19) 3. To be filled with the Spirit is to overflow with thankfulness (20) 4. To be filled with the Spirit is to overflow with humility (21) EPHESIANS 5:17-21 I love my kids with all my heart. ...read more

    Part 2 focuses on Mary and Joseph response to God’s word while facing ridicule if they obeyed.

    As followers of Jesus we MUST stand firm in the struggle against evil just as Nehemiah did in his work of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem.

    Matthew 7:24-27 (ESV) 24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And ...read more

    Even through ridicule, we need to have a mind set on accomplishing what God has called us to do.

    What Changed Zaccheus?

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,508 views

    Jesus doesn't preach to Zaccheus. No moralising, no ridiculing. Just unconditional acceptance. That's all it took change him radically.

    A popular story recounts a meeting that may have taken place at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago in 1923. There is debate whether the meeting in fact occurred, but what is not in question is the actual rise and fall of the men featured in the story, who were nine of the richest men in the world ...read more

    The Law And The Kingdom Of God Series

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Apr 17, 2015
     | 6,620 views

    The analysis of the response of Jesus to the Pharisees' ridicule in Luke 16:14-18 teaches about their misunderstanding of possessions, the kingdom of God, and the law.

    Scripture Luke 16 primarily deals with the topic of possessions. There are three sections in the chapter. The first section is the parable of the dishonest manager (16:1-13). Jesus responds to the ridicule of the Pharisees in the second section (16:14-18). And the third section is about the rich ...read more

    In our modern society, some of the Ten Commandments are ridiculed, & others ignored. But I think this 7th Commandment is actually hated by many.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN, BROWNSVILLE, TX A. Today is Valentine’s Day, a special day, a day in which much emphasis is placed on romantic love. But if you listen, you’ll discover that the world gives very mixed messages about the nature of love & the ways to ...read more

    If we expect God to use us to do the work of the kingdom, then we will have to be faithful in proclaiming the truth even in the face of opposition and ridicule.

    STANDING FIRM FOR TRUTH Why is it so difficult to face up to the truth when things aren’t going very well and to take action to make things right? We see this problem in every area of life. One particular outworking of this refusal to face up to the truth and to take proper action is in the ...read more

    We stand firm and do the work of God, not discouraged by ridicule, intimidation and threats, because God is with us and we are doing God's will.

    Last week we saw the beautiful picture of the people of God coming together to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem – people of different skills and occupations, young and old, men and women – all having to stop their usual work and take up the work of God. • There is unity in the diversity.

    Present generations can choose to follow the Lord despite the ridiculous or ungodly example of their forefathers. The Psalmist gives us advice to help us do so.

    Breaking the Cycle (Psalm 78) 1. A couple decided to go to Cyprus for the weekend, but because they both worked it was hard to coordinate their diaries. So they decided the husband would go a day early, and his wife would join him the following day. On arriving, the husband thought he would email ...read more

    A Motivation To Give For Small Givers Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 26, 2019
     | 4,416 views

    We are called by Paul to be cheerful givers. That seems ridiculous to many! This passage, though, gives us a great starting point for making that generous attitude happen.

    IT JUST SEEMS RIDICULOUS: How can anyone be a cheerful giver? - 2 Corinthians 9:7. - Paul tells us that God loves a cheerful giver. That’s all well and good, many of you are thinking, but who exactly is joyful about giving to the offering plate? It’s hard for many to believe that there are ...read more

     | 4,026 views

    There will always be resistance to the work of God, and ridicule and violence are the weapons of the enemy (esp. to the Gospel). Being prepared for the attack is our calling, using the weapons of prayer and scripture.

    Introduction - Nehemiah is a great study of leadership; also shows obedience to God - Remember we saw Nehemiah’s assessing of the project before him, and, -- He also revealed the mission God had given him to his team -- We also noted that the job would be tough … and there would be ...read more

    In this sermon I want to look at the Jewish Sabbath. When we start to look at some of the ridiculous things that the Jews taught about the Sabbath, it shocks us

    Illus: This reminds me of a young boy that found himself in the locker room of the local YWCA. When he was spotted, the room burst into screams of horror, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and said “What’s the matter haven’t you ever seen a ...read more

    The Final Hours Of The Lord Jesus -From Golgotha To The Grave (For Now) Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 19, 2021
     | 1,586 views

    The Lord Jesus is in His last moments of agony and pain, both physically and spiritually as He completes His mission of redemption for fallen humanity. It looked on the surface, however, like a victory for his enemies and the devil as He died and was placed in a borrowed tomb, or so it would seem.

    (Adapted from an outline by Mark A. Copeland) Following a night and morning of torture, ridicule, and mockery, Jesus was taken away to be crucified (Mark 14:53-15:25). For six long, horrendous, cruel hours He hung on the cross, and to add insult to injury, He heard the continuing mockery ...read more
