    Offenses are very common, but we are warned against committing them.

    THE DANGER OF OFFENSES Rev. John W. Gerald I. THE OFFENSE OF PRIDE Matt. 18:1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3 And said, Verily I say unto you, ...read more

    Christ told us to come as children Paul tells us to grow up, how do we find a balance.

    It had started out quite innocently. But then again it usually does. It was just a discussion. They had just been sitting around chewing the fat and somebody had mentioned how important so and so were going to be in heaven. “I don’t think so” said Peter “He hasn’t got what it takes.” Well it was ...read more

    An Itch In The Middle Of Your Back

    Young people are often an "inconvenience" to those of us in the church. We want to do ministry to and with children and youth, but we do not want to neglect what we think is really important- the adults.

    A great way to Christ is to see the world through the eyes of young people. Too often, young people are like an itch in the middle of your back that you just can't reach. It's there and we need to do something about it, but we don't know what. We need to look at young people, children and teens, ...read more

    Greatness in the eyes of the world is not the same as greatness in the eyes of God. What does it take to be great in God's eyes?

    The Road to Greatness Wednesday, March 10, 2010 By Pastor James May How does the world judge a man to be great? Often men are declared to be great if they have the ability to influence heads of state or leaders in society as Statesmen. These are often found as Leaders of Nations, peacekeepers ...read more

    Jesus warns against abusing His "little ones." The study of this saying becomes vital to the welfare of contemporary congregations.

    “The disciples came to Jesus, saying, ‘Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?’ And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, ‘Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

    Pride is the most subtle of all sins because it feeds on our good points, normally!

    Respectable Sins – Pride What are you most proud of? Do you take pride in your work? Are you proud of your children? Pride comes into so many areas of our lives and yet very few of us would like to overhear someone say of us: “They are a proud person.” You see Pride really is one of the most ...read more

    What were the disciples arguing about? Who would get to wash the others feet? Who would clean the ancient toilets? No, they were arguing over who would be the greatest. Link inc. to formatted text, audio, and PowerPoint Template.

    A Biblical understanding of Stewardship: God gives generously (faith, salvation, eternal life, forgiveness, etc) and by God's Holy Spirit, we may also give generously.

    Grace, mercy, peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Today is Stewardship Sunday. Today is the day that, and let me be straight forward with you, today is the day that we talk about money. About giving, about generosity. But I’m not going to try and guilt you ...read more

    The Greatest

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 12, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,135 views

    The analogy of the child being the greatest in God’s Kingdom was completely contrary to the prevailing culture then and now. Imagine how His disciples must have reacted to Jesus then and how indifferent it is even today.

    Opening illustration: If God was taking resumes, what would you put on yours? In other words, what makes a good Christian? What would really impress them when you arrive in heaven? Experience, qualifications, references, character traits … The reason I asked is because followers of Jesus ...read more

    Childlike, But Not Childish

     | 11,153 views

    Jesus did not mean that we need to act like children, but to show a few good childlike traits that can help us draw nearer to God.

    Matt. 18:1-5 In the gospels, the apostles were always wondering among themselves who would be the greatest in the kingdom of God. They would argue amongst themselves because they wanted the places of honor In Mark 9 and 10 we see two examples we’ll take note of. Mark 9:33-34 (NKJV) 33 Then ...read more

    Disciples Contend For Greatness

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 28, 2015
     | 5,678 views

    I wonder, is there a bit of worldly ambition present in these men that He had called to be His disciples? I believe they may have been doing a bit of bragging among themselves, and now they come to Jesus to see who He thinks is the greatest disciple.
