    Old Whiners Or New Wineskins? Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 24, 2018

    We all have a tendency to reject a new idea, or a new revelation of truth because we like the old too much. Like an old, stiff wineskin, our hearts and minds can calcify until we become so inflexible we can’t accept change.

    INTRODUCTION Have you ever known someone who was a chronic whiner? They are constantly whining about their health or the weather, or what’s going on in Washington. Do you know someone like that? Now, do you think anybody was thinking about YOU? Chronic whiners and complainers are everywhere. I ...read more

    Looking at how Jesus dealt with traditions

    Loving the Old Ways, Missing the New – Luke 5:33-39 Gladstone Baptist Church – 26/9/04 Last week I spoke about the fact that Jesus loves unlovely people.

    What's It Worth To You?

     | 4,047 views

    We live every day in the balance between risk and reward. Don't think living for God comes free. Jesus said count the cost. There is a world waiting for us to decide what it's worth to us.

    Judges 6: 2 - 5 And the hand of the Midianites prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites Israel made them Den's in the mountains, and caves, and strongholds. It was, when Israel had sown that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the East, even they came ...read more

    Our name is upon His lips and engraved upon His palms. That’s how significant we are to Him. Rest in His love for you.

    When we look at a flock of sheep, we see exactly that - a big flock. That’s all. I don’t see a sheep. I see sheep. All alike. None different. But not so with the Shepherd. To Him, every sheep has a name. The one with thick white wool, that’s Amos. And the one with one ear up and the other ...read more

    The more carefully we attend to such practical lessons as this passage contains, the more shall we recommend our religion to others, and the more inward peace shall we find in our own souls.

    Watch Your Step Scripture: Luke 17:1-5 Introduction: There is a story about a man who was a doctor of divinity, who lived with his son, who was a doctor of medicine. One day the telephone range and the D.D. answered it. “Is this Dr. Frank speaking?” “Yes” was the answer. “Are you the one who ...read more

    To show that we live in the time of free grace and we are blessed with grace, forgiveness and blessings though we don't deserve them, it's undeserved favor for all believers of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

    I. EXORDIUM: Are you living under Grace? Yes. 2 Corinthians 12:9 2 Corinthians 12:9 But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect ...read more

    Funeral message for Mrs. Thora Mohler, a long-time member of our mostly African-American Baptist church, but proud of her Swedish Lutheran heritage, and devoted to certain tasks in the life of our church.

    Anyone who ever counted money with Thora Mohler will tell you that she was a woman with a determination to get things right. She would not let go until she had the right answer. On Mondays, Mrs. Mohler, until recent months, was one of those faithful behind-the-scenes workers our church has, ...read more

    There is a popular slogan that retail shops are using to make their customers to engage in impulse buying (buying what they did not have plan to buy). This slogan is called “MIX AND MATCH” this means combining things that are not related .

    Besides, who would patch old clothing with new cloth? For the new patch would shrink and rip away from the old cloth, leaving and even bigger tear than before. And no one puts new wine into old wineskin, for the old skins would burst from the pressure, spilling the wine and ruining the skins. New ...read more

    Navigating The Ebb And Flow

    Jesus shared words to help John's disciples navigate change, as they were dealing with the loss of their leader. He also addressed the change of grace over legalism. This passage can be applied to change within the church.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Navigating the Ebb and Flow.” The expression “ebb and flow” is an idiom used to describe periods of highs and lows, and growth and decline, just like the rising and falling of the tides. It is essentially the idea that life is not always constant, but ...read more
