    Miracle On 1st Century Street Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Dec 23, 2008
     | 4,213 views

    In this sermon, I use the movie Miracle on 34th Street to illustrate the difference between fact and fiction. The miracle of Jesus’ birth and life on 1st Century Street are altogether true and are worth believing in.

    Introduction: A. Good morning and welcome to our annual special worship service on the Sunday before Christmas. 1. I hope and pray that you have a very happy and healthy Christmas holiday filled with much joy and peace. 2. Although none of us knows the exact day when Jesus Christ was born, His ...read more

    Panicked people do irrational things, like attempt to live in the past or to live out of bad religion. Panic can be dealt with only by trusting God and living in integrity. Luther’s Reformation is a prime illustration.

    Children are not the only ones who are afraid of the dark. You do not have to be a child to be subject to irrational, unreasoning fears, fears that take you over and leave you breathless. Children may be afraid of dark rooms and of monsters under the bed, but the rest of us also panic. Don’t tell ...read more

    A winning team needs a good defense and a good offense. Shammah and Benaniah illustrate defense and offense. They both were just one hair’s breathe away from this side of crazy! How about you?

    Title: “Just One Hair’s Breathe this Side of Crazy!” Introduction: David is nearing the end of his life. He has become the mighty king of Israel.

    This was an illustrated sermon. I was dressed as surgeon and had a table with a white sheet over it to represent an operating table. At the close I had members come up and leave their various issues and leave them on the operating table.

    STAY UNDER THE KNIFE HEBREWS 4:12-13 (The Message) God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey. Nothing and no one is impervious to God’s Word. We can’t get ...read more

    Some people do not see any benefits from being a Christian. Our faith is profitable, and we need to be able to share that in convincing manner. In this passage James gives some illustrations concerning a provable faith.

    A Profitable Faith. James 2:14-26 C:\MyData\JAM-OLD But Good\JAMES2-2.WPD {14} What use is it, my brethren, if a man says he has faith, but he has no works?

    Simon the sorcerer is an illustration of Counterfeit Christianity or false faith. It begins with a false self perception, and foolish pride. Trying to show folks that the rituals we use in the church do not save, instead it is the life changing presence

    King David, more than any other person in the Biblical record, illustrates the moral range of human nature. Look at these snapshots of his life to see the grace of God at work in one messed up fella.

    Message - A Study of King David Snapshots of King David’s character and Scenes from his life I’ve always found King David to be one of the most fascinating guys in the Bible.

    The fourth sermon in the Lenten Series "The Signs of John." In this sermon we look at the fishing trip the disciples took after the resurrection and focus on how Peter’s reaction illustrates the change in his and Jesus’ relationship.

    In politics, some voices get heard while others ignored. Often those with the best connections or the loudest complainers tend to be heard. Things tend to spill over the same way in a local church. But things need to be different in Christ’s body, because He must call the shots. He will not bless ...read more

    Man has always made a great deal of memorials. A walk through any cemetery will illustrate the fact that people want to be remembered and people want to remember them. We need to make a memorial to our God.

    Jesus uses two great illustrations of what the Christian is. 1-Salt-To prevent decay and corruption, to flavor to living, to bring healing. 2-Light-To dispense and disperse light to a dark world!

    Matthew 5:14-16-“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
