  • Thorn In The Flesh

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 8, 2005
    based on 73 ratings
     | 17,559 views

    Some people become defined by their hardships while others rise above their pain. We may suffer broken relationships, broken promises, broken expectations, but we don’t have to become broken people. Pain is inevitable--misery is optional.

    No one knows for certain about the nature of Paul’s thorn, and there has been extensive speculation about the nature of his affliction. Explanations range from persistent temptation, dogged persecution, chronic malaria, migraine headaches, epilepsy, or a speech disorder. Because Paul dictated his ...read more

    Outline: • Murderous un-love, 11-15 • Sacrificial love, 16-17 • Confirming love, 18-20 • Love¡¦s outcome, 21-24

    I¡¦d like to begin by quoting an 8-year old theologian: ¡§There are two kinds of love. Our love. God¡¦s love. But God makes both of them.¡¨ God is the Source of love. This is something we¡¦ve known from the beginning of our Christian experience. ƒçMurderous un-love, verses 11-15 An old Burt ...read more

  • A Desperate Dad

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jun 19, 2006
    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,988 views

    In 2 miracles, Jesus turns what is unclean into wholeness; He overcomes death and defilement. He also removes the stain of sin.

    This morning we’re going to look at a dad briefly mentioned in the Gospels, a man named Jairus who was deeply concerned about his daughter; a father with a sense of urgency. Jairus was a prominent leader of the synagogue and a respected member of the community. Local synagogues were governed ...read more

  • Jesus Made Me Kosher

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Nov 25, 2007
    based on 4 ratings

    Our access to God is not by ceremonial ritual but the sacrifice of Christ.

    We have differing standards on what we consider “clean” and “unclean.” A lot depends on how meticulous we are. For some of us, when we drop a cookie, we follow the “5-second rule” (this was tested recently on Mythbusters). When I lived in Germany, everything was spotless--you could eat off the ...read more

  • Love On One Foot

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Nov 28, 2007
    based on 9 ratings
     | 2,885 views

    Jesus sums up God’s laws in a brief statement that says it all: love God, love your neighbor--our duty to God and others. This is law of love...on one foot.

    A young Jewish student went to see a learned Rabbi and posed a challenging question: “Rabbi, can you tell me the essence of the Law while standing on one foot?” The Rabbi got flustered. “What? Give you the essence of the Law while on one foot? I’ve studied the Torah for over fifty years and I ...read more

  • Vessels Of Wrath

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on May 9, 2008
     | 3,414 views

    How do we understand the wrath of God?

    Introduction… For me, Romans 9 has always been an especially troubling chapter, one I’ve avoided till I saw that it contains a message of hope. Paul appears to be describing God as less than loving. He seems to be teaching a kind of “double predestination”, with God deciding how many people He ...read more

  • Job's Friends

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jun 29, 2009
    based on 14 ratings
     | 21,711 views

    Rather than show sensitivity to Job’s affliction, his friends critique him...and were dead wrong. Let’s be careful when we appraise people. And let’s be cordial when we disagree.

    I recall a fight I had in seminary. I was arguing with another student over some theological matter, when he got mad and slugged me. Before I knew what was happening, I left the room, but not under my own power. A student walking by saw what was going on, grabbed me, and whisked me out before ...read more

  • Reading Revelation

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jul 13, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,363 views

    The last book of the Bible presents a prophetic vision difficult to fathom--what do we do with it?

    During the early days of Desert Storm, and as we approached the year 2000, people grew concerned with whether these events might be signaling the “last days” talked about in Scripture. Now doom-sayers are claiming the world will end in 2012. I recently read The Road by Cormac McCarthy, a bleak ...read more

  • Robbing A Blessing Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jul 28, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,824 views

    Jacob finds out the hard way that sin has built-in consequences.

    Deception carries some built-in consequences. One beautiful Sunday morning a deacon decided to skip church and play a round of golf. The fifth hole was the most challenging of the entire course, but nonetheless the deacon, to his delight, made a hole-in-one. An angel observing this turned to God ...read more

  • Leading From Your Strengths Series

     | 5,300 views

    There are several observations we can make about David in this conflict

    (I attended a clergy roundtable sponsored by the Ockenga Institute of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary where we discussed this passage, and the following sermon is more of a group effort, our collective thoughts on the various strengths David drew from) We’re quite familiar with the ...read more

  • The Gold Standard

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Sep 7, 2010
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,110 views

    Our Lord reframes an ancient code, moving it from passive compliance to active obedience. He calls us to go to practice an unselfish standard of fairness/righteousness. This is what He did. And this is what He empowers us to do.

    James Cash Penny started a general merchandise store in Kemmerer, Wyoming in 1902, which he built into a multi-billion dollar enterprise on the guiding principle of the Golden Rule. For years J.C. Penny stores were called “Golden Rule stores”. It was Mr. Penny’s belief that ...read more

  • Rendering Unto Caesar

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Sep 13, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,936 views

    Jesus is showing how citizens have both civic and moral obligations; we obey secular law yet we owe everything to God, Who deserves our primary allegiance.

    An IRS agent contacted a taxpayer to conduct an audit. He noted, “Our records show that you still have some money left over after paying your taxes. How do you account for that?” Another taxpayer told his attorney that when he dies, to place his ashes in an envelope and mail it to ...read more

  • Who Is Jesus

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Sep 19, 2010
    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,122 views

    He has been called a mystic, a revolutionary, a legend, a troublemaker, and much more. Who is Jesus?

    Who is Jesus? He has been called a mystic, a revolutionary, a legend, a troublemaker, and much more. Who is Jesus? What was He like? Do we think of Him as the child in the manger or the crucified Savior? People say lots of things about Him. John’s Gospel closes by saying the world could ...read more

  • The Wrath Of Cain

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jun 8, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,811 views

    Our heart attitude is what God seeks in whatever we offer to Him. When what we do is unacceptable, God will give us a chance to resubmit.

    Cain hated his brother as long as he was Abel! Cain’s parents disobeyed God and introduced sin into the world, and Cain became the first murderer. Sin’s beginning in Genesis 3 appeared small; our first parents broke a seemingly insignificant command of God. But in so doing, they rebelled against ...read more

  • A Woman Of Worth Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Feb 21, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 17,787 views

    God in His providence is working in our lives today, whether we realize it or not. When life hurts, we can choose to be bitter, like Naomi, or we can be like Ruth--trusting the Hand of Providence, in spite of unanswered questions and an uncertain future.

    Ruth. A love story. A book of history. A lesson about faith and loyalty. But most of all, a book about God, the One behind-the-scenes. As we encounter Ruth we learn how God takes an active role in our lives. We learn through this short story that the human events we regard as circumstance are ...read more
