Sermons on San Juan 4:4:

Being A Radical

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jul 26, 2022

Reform is what Jesus was looking for. He was called a radical. The Pharisees took notice of what He was doing. Corruption was destroying Judaism. Is it happening to Christianity today? When humans create an organization eventually corruption sneaks in.

Being a Radical John 4:1-6 Rev. Dr. Michael Harvey Koplitz John 4:1 And Jesus knew, that the Pharisees had heard; that he made many disciples, and baptized more than John. 2 Yet Jesus himself did not baptize but his disciples. 3 And he left Judaea, and went again into Galilee. 4 And in going, he ...read more

Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well. Jesus is absolutely willing to break cultural norms. He is led by scripture. And the meeting brings great results.

We’re in the third talk in our series on ‘Encounters with Jesus in John’s gospel.’ Last week, we looked at a passage in John 3. A man called Nicodemus met Jesus.

The Samaritan Appointment

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Mar 16, 2023

Our Lord Jesus Christ wasn't afraid of those who were the “cast off” of society; the sinners, the lepers, the Samaritans, and neither should we.

The Samaritan Appointment John 4:1-26 As I’m sure you all know, during Biblical times, the Jews and the Samaritans were locked in a bitter rivalry, but in case you didn’t know, it partially began back when the Kingdom was torn apart—when it became a divided kingdom after Solomon's death and ...read more

The Deceptive Power Of A Good Excuse

Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 29, 2024

Excuses can rob us of God's best. They are an enemy of great faith and accomplishment. In this examination of Luke 14:15-24, we learn from Jesus's story about those who excused themselves from a great feast. Those people missed the opportunity of a lifetime.

Intro We take as our text today Luke 14:15-24. Follow with me as we read that passage. “Now when one of those who sat at the table with Him heard these things, he said to Him, ‘Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God! 16 Then He [Jesus] said to him, ‘A certain man gave a great ...read more

El Poder Engañoso De Una Buena Excusa

Contributed by Richard Tow on Aug 1, 2024

Las excusas pueden privarnos de lo mejor de Dios. Son enemigas de la gran fe y de los logros. En este análisis de Lucas 14:15-24, aprendemos de la historia de Jesús sobre aquellos que se excusaron de asistir a un gran banquete. Esas personas perdieron la oportunidad de su vida.

Introducción Hoy tomamos como texto Lucas 14:15-24. Acompáñenme a leer este pasaje. “Oyendo esto uno de los que estaban sentados con él a la mesa, le dijo: Bienaventurado el que coma pan en el reino de Dios. 16 Entonces Jesús le dijo: Un hombre hizo una gran cena, y ...read more

If we are ever to fully recover from Guilt and Shame we must choose the spiritual experience of accepting God’s offer of grace and mercy via Jesus’ actions on our behalf.

The last couple of weeks we spoke about escaping bad decisions, this week I’d like to explore overcoming the lasting effects of ...read more
