    The Good, The Bad, & The Snuggly

    Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Nov 1, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,449 views

    Jesus points to our salvation by the Father's grace alone, not by our works--first through a parable, and then in action as He welcomes children (even infants).

    The Word of God that engages us today is our Gospel reading from Luke 18. And in our Gospel reading, Jesus challenges the presuppositions of those around Him. Our Gospel reading is really broken down into two sections—and quite often you’ll get a sermon on one or the other, as if ...read more

    Fighting Temptation (The Impala Christian)

    Contributed by Kayode Omotoso on May 18, 2016
     | 3,981 views

Jackal with an average weight of 10kg is a carnivore belonging to the same family as wolf and dog while impala is an African antelope having two long horns and an average weight of 60kg. Both of them live in the ...read more

    Not much is said about self-denial and sacrifice in today's church and society, but it is central to the life of a disciple of Jesus Christ.

    Mark 8:31-38 “A Different Drummer” INTRODUCTION Selective hearing is a curious human phenomenon. We have the ability to hear only what we want to hear. Teenagers can hear the word “food,” but they have trouble hearing, “Do your homework,” or “Take ...read more

    Fearing Fear

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 15, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 21,618 views

    Delivered 1986. Fear is often a self-fulfilling prophecy, based on our image of a vengeful God. But challenging God is faith-filled, and His response is Jesus, who experiences all that we experience.

    The trouble with preparing sermons in a series that lasts several weeks is that I am never quite sure whether I am the only one who knows where we are in that series. I am never quite sure whether you see just four sermons, or maybe you only attend two of the four weeks, or whether you sit with ...read more

    Big Specks And Little Logs

    Contributed by Monty Newton on Mar 3, 2013
     | 5,887 views

    At the very heart of hypocrisy is the abiity to spot a speck in another person's eye while being blind to the log in one's own eye.

    This is an amazing passage of scripture… it is most often quoted by those who do not follow Christ and directed at those who do follow Christ. Hypocrisy is the number one sin Christians are accused of doing. Title: Big Specks and Little Logs (The idea is that we tend to play up the sins of ...read more

     | 5,202 views

    In the Church of The Nazarene there is a wing of missions called Extreme Nazarenes and we are thankful for their service in the Kingdom of God, but, are they really Extreme or just what Jesus calls us all to be?
