    The Narrow Door

    Contributed by David Nichols on May 28, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,914 views

    Jesus calls us to walk the narrow way; that’s positively countercultural.

    THE NARROW DOOR Luke 13:22-30 David E. Nichols Nobody likes to be thought of as narrow. It’s a great insult when spoken about educated people. We are here because we have been educated out of our narrowness or we hope to be educated out of our narrowness. One of the worst things ...read more

    The Discipline Of Prayer Series

    Contributed by David Scudder on May 30, 2009
     | 4,254 views

    Since prayer is really just talking to God, then why is it so hard? Some of us have no problem spending a lot of time talking to other people? So why does it take so much effort to talk to God?

    Purpose: To show that a false commitment to Christ will cause a lack of desire to pray. Aim: I want the listener to be sure that he is totally committed to Christ. INTRODUCTION: For many years medical science thought that ulcers were caused by stress and spicy foods. But, in 1979 two Australian ...read more

    Friend, my goal today is to win you for Christ. God loves you and wants you to spend eternity with him. If you have been one of those who have been coming to Church faithfully for many years and never really received Jesus as your personal Savior, I de

    We are not told who that “someone” was who asked Jesus the question “Lord will those who are saved be few?” but in answering the question Jesus actually tells us how to get there. He tells us that only few will get in while many will stand outside the door and keep ...read more

    When The Door Is Shut

    Contributed by Daniel Austin on Sep 7, 2010
     | 12,697 views

    To find the door we must find Christ. To know the way we must know Jesus but to enter in, Jesus must know us for salvation is from God through Jesus.

    When The Door Is Shut 09/13/09 AM Text/Reading: Luke 13:22-30 Introduction I was listening to a radio broadcast on a local Christian radio station while on the way into work one morning and there was a discussion that revolved around opportunities in life and one of the speakers made the statement: ...read more

    Are You Saved?

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,309 views

    In the Pharisees' hammering out of the truth, they missed Jesus' point. The real question wasn’t, “How many are going to be saved?” The real question was, “Are you going to be saved?”

    Intro Swollen and bloated with pride, convinced their conclusions were correct, the Jewish rabbis hunkered down to refute the other side. So who was the other side? They were other Jewish rabbis. Some of them were saying that everyone who was Jewish would be saved. Others were saying that only ...read more

     | 7,943 views

    Pentecost 14 (C) - Heaven’s door is narrow. By only trusting in God’s grace alone will believers live to make every effort to enter.

    HEAVEN’S DOOR IS NARROW (Outline) September 6, 2009 -- PENTECOST 14 -- Luke 13:22-30 INTRO: Today Jesus points out that the door to heaven is narrow. This does not mean that heaven is full. The Lord’s will is to see all mankind saved. But not all people are saved! Why? When left on ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,608 views

    Do you ever picture God as a vindictive judge who can’t wait to throw judgment at sinners? This and other misconceptions about God are addressed in Luke 13.

    God - The Patient Gardener - Luke 13:1-35 What are some common misconceptions about God? 1. That God rises above all religions and a piece of God is found in each 2. God is "the big man upstairs" who is not really involved in affairs here on earth 3. Good things happen to good people, bad things ...read more

    In the middle of faithlessness and unrepentance, God moves graciously.

    Luke 13:1-9, 31-35 “Fruitlessness” INTRODUCTION Two teenagers were driving along a mountain road near Flagstaff. As some of us have a tendency to do, they were going rather fast—about 75 miles per hour. The driver lost control of the truck. The truck crashed through the ...read more

    Will Everyone Make It To Heaven?

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Oct 19, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,581 views

    This sermon addresses the false belief that everyone will make it to heaven. I used parts of a sermon outline from sermons of the new testament to write this sermon.

    In a 2008 USA Today article it says that in a survey taken the majority of people 65% say eternal life is not exclusively for those who accept Christ. The world view today is that anyone and everyone will be saved no matter who they are, what they do, or who are what they believe in. The ...read more

     | 7,921 views

    As a Christian, see yourself in God’s Kingdom everyday and live accordingly!

    Let’s start with this question: What do you need to have a kingdom? A kingdom needs a ruler! A kingdom needs people or “subjects”! A kingdom needs a realm or a place! Jesus Christ often talked about the Kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is mentioned over 70 times in the New ...read more
