    Out Of The Ordinary Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Jul 1, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,100 views

    As God in the flesh, Jesus lived an ordinary life in an extraordinary way. We too live extraordinarily in the ordinary because of the Spirit of Christ (or Holy Spirit) who indwells us.

    1. A few weeks ago I made the statement in the sermon that disciples should like Jesus. I want to explore this reality over the next few weeks. I want us to look at some of the key characteristics of Jesus and make application to ourselves. If I am going to follow Jesus that means I am going to ...read more

    This is a different look at the character of Zacchaeus as portrayed in the gospel of Luke

    Out On A Limb Luke 19: 1 - 10 Intro: A fitness center offered $1,000 to anyone who could demonstrate that they were stronger than the owner who would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass.

    We handle it, exchange it, spend it, invest it, need it and give our life away for it. Does money stain us, change us, make us do things we don’t want to do? We can make money clean!

    Money Laundering Pt. 2 - Out of Order? I. Introduction I don't know about you but one of the most frustrating things in life is to need to use a machine - drink, snack, register, ATM or any other type of machine only to discover a sign on it that says "Out of Order!"

    Down But Not Out!

    When it comes to suffering, Paul calls us to forsake pity parties and glorify God. We can remember that Jesus shines through us, that our weaknesses glorify God, that we may be down but never out, and that our sufferings may bring eternal life to others.

    2 Corinthians 4:5-12 Down but Not Out! A Christian need never suffer. At least that’s what some preachers might tell you. However, that is not the message of scripture. Jesus said, “If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also” (John 15:20). We should expect no better treatment than that ...read more

    The Man Is Out

    A perspective on Luke 24: 36b-48. Yes! Jesus is alive. He is out. Jesus continues to invite everyone to “Touch and see,” to be reassured that his presence is real and that his intentions for forgiveness are real.

    Luke 24: 36b-48 The Man Is Out A man was released from prison recently after serving his term. After many years in jail he still maintains his innocence. What a horrible thought to suffer lies and false accusations from people that one knows, and then spending many years in jail when one is ...read more

    This sermon encourages every child of God to ride out the storm; no matter how bad things may get.

    Introduction: A good friend of mine who's gone home to glory use to say before every storm; I ain't leaving, I am going to ride it out. The Apostle is warning us that fatigue will factor into all of our lives. But he encourages us not to become weary with well doing. In other words; he is telling ...read more

    What exactly is mercy? How does it look in our lives? How do we express it towards others? Why is it that the merciful will be blessed?

    Out Of Sequence

    Contributed by Johnny Wilson on May 25, 2009
     | 2,340 views

    When some teenagers asked me a question about the relationship between baptism and the Holy Spirit, it forced me to rethink some of my assumptions. Here’s how I presented to them.

    It’s interesting to note that when we take certain verses out of their context, we end up creating our own systems to replace God’s “system.” God’s system is called covenant or relationship. Our systems tend to be what we can control. But, of course, we aren’t the ones in control when God is ...read more

    But as noted… we often find ourselves in tensions between two feelings … the tension between a spirit of legalism and a spirit license.

    Walking in True Freedom Part 2 – Walking It Out Brad Bailey – July 15, 2007 One question I asked last week…Are you free to do anything you want (if within your means)?

    Without the involvement of the ancient Africans, we would not have Christianity with us today, much less the nation of Israel. Without Africa - you and I, we would be toast.

    based on 36 ratings
     | 62,544 views

    Jesus told the rich young ruler to sell everything that he had, give it to the poor and follow Him. Do I have to give away everything to follow Christ? Do I have to sell all that I have in order to please Him?
