    Of all the figures in this passage, we tend to overlook what we can learn from the donkey’s presence.

    You Can Learn A Lot From A Donkey - Matthew 21:1-11 The automakers and those who test their vehicles use dummies to simulate what happens to human beings like you and I during an automobile accident.

    Paul sets before us a worthy goal-which most of us will work on for a lifetime

    It’s interesting that Paul uses four negative expressions to specify how the godly leader must live. Some things simply must not be present in his life. Those four are counter-balanced by one positive characteristic. 1. Not violent 1 Timothy 3:3 I like the King James rendering-"Not a striker." ...read more

    Can't Keep Good News Down

    Contributed by Mark Wood on Mar 14, 2006
    based on 27 ratings
     | 5,365 views

    Dr. Wood shows his audience that in the midst of problems the good news of Jesus Christ cannot be held back. God uses three groups to get the good news out. The unexpected, the unsuspected and the undeflected.

    The council that had convened was prepared to kill the disciples. God had miraculously freed them from the prison and they returned right back to doing what the temple rulers had told them not to do The Good news was too good to keep it to themselves. Verse 33 There were some that were ready to ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,545 views

    Everyone goes through struggles in life’s journey and everyone has an option on how to view that struggle. We can take it as a time to wreck us or as a time to look to the Word of God and lean on God to pull us through.

    Value of Suffering Psalm 22:1-31 Intro The background of Psalm 22 is some event or series of events in David’s life when he went through much opposition and physical abuse. While suffering on the cross, Jesus quoted part of the first verse. He may have quoted all of it but was so weak the crowd ...read more

    "Another disciple said to him, ’Lord, first let me go and bury my father.’" Now this sounds like a reasonable enough request. I’m sure that Jesus, who cares so much about us, will agree to this. What does He say? Verse 22: ’Follow me, and let the dead b

    Turn with me to Matthew 8:18-22. Here we find Jesus soon after the Sermon on the Mount. A man with leprosy has just been healed. The Centurion’s servant has been healed. Peter’s mother-in-law has been healed. Demons have been cast out, and many others healed. What a picture of Jesus’ ministry we ...read more

    The entire Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7 is about how believers are to be different. In Jesus’ model prayer, we find the prescription for being different.

    The Enemy Within: Anger. Matt. 5:21-24 INTRO.: Matt. 5:21-48 records a group of six sayings Bible scholars sometimes call the “antitheses” section of the Sermon on the Mount.

    The only way to fulfill the purpose of the church and of being a Christian is to be committed to opening people’s minds to receive Christ Jesus and eternal life.

    Contributed by Gaither Bailey on Jun 10, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,908 views

    What we need to realize is this: we share the fact that none of us are saved by anything we are or do. We are saved and forgiven by our loving relationship with the risen Christ.

    I Have Something To Say To You Intro: It was rush hour. The woman was late for an important appointment. She cursed the drivers around her as she weaved in and out of traffic. When a car wedged in front of her, she laid on the horn and slipped the offending driver off. She shook her fist at ...read more

    Thursday of 27th Week in Course 2017 Reformation/Revolution Who among us has not looked on some captain of industry or some venal politician and wondered why “evildoers not only prosper but when they put God to the test they escape.’” as the people did in Malachi’s day?
