     | 7,254 views

    This is the second sermon in a series about Jesus being The Great Nevertheless. He keeps wonderfully surprising us. Using the Lord’s "nevertheless" statement in the KJV we get a delightful glimpse of our awesome Savior.

    THE NEVERTHELESS OF HIS COMMITMENT Luke 13:31-35 KJV Introduction • [Illus] – About 2,300 years ago Alexander the Great marched his army from Greece to India. Though the distance was long, his army was unstoppable. The only reason he stopped was that his men became homesick and wanted to return ...read more

    How sad that many of us miss the joy and blessing that can be ours by knowing and doing what Christ desires. What is Christ’s desire for you and me?

    Christ’s Desire Luke 13:31-34; 19:41-42 Christ’s desire for Israel was that they might have known Him in an intimate relationship as their Messiah. Several days before His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, He expressed that desire when He said after being confronted by some Pharisees, O ...read more

    This is a Men's Day sermon for an inner-city church facing issues of poverty and legalization of marijuana in their community. It looks at David and his meeting with Ahimelek. David's lack of integrity had painful consequences.

    Becoming Men Of Integrity 1 Samuel 21:1-9 Luke 13:31-35 11/8/2019 When you hear the word integrity, what other words come into your mind.

    The Big Idea: God wants us to be faithful him in our words and actions, even in difficult situations.

    Of Christians put to death for their faith in the second century, perhaps no account is as striking as the story of Polycarp. Polycarp (A.D. 70-155) is bishop of Smyrna and a godly man who knows the apostle John personally. When urged by the Roman proconsul to renounce Christ, Polycarp responds ...read more

    God’s kingdom is at work in this world, but many people fail to take advantage of their opportunities. Instead of entering the kingdom, some people only ask questions about it. Salvation is not a theory to discuss; it is a miracle to experience.

    Jesus wants to be loved for the right reasons.

    I expect most of you know that fear of commitment is endemic in today’s society. It's not surprising. I expect many if not most of us have experienced - or at least witnessed - bad relationships or are the children of divorce ourselves. If you've gotten burnt, you're more than a little ...read more

    Think of it: Jesus marshaled no army and He carried no weapon. Jesus never used His miraculous powers to throw the Pharisees off the nearest cliff. Yet, the threat of Jesus was so great, He often made enemies into allies:

    A New York Times editorial claims that America’s views on the death penalty are changing. 35 people were put to death in 2014 which was the fewest in 20 years. And 2014 marked a nearly 40 year low in the number of new criminals placed on death row. While the method of execution may have changed, ...read more
