    Forsake Or Be Forsaken

    Contributed by James Groce on Aug 30, 2002
    based on 67 ratings
     | 4,582 views

    Some believe repentance means simply to "turn around" and go in the opposite direction. But the Bible tells us repentance is much more than this.

    The Greek word for repentance is metanoia. Meta means "to change or shift" and noia means "perspective." It literally means a change in the way one views things. Repentance means not only saying you’re sorry, it means you are going to genuinely change and mend your ways. John was preaching ...read more

    Scripture grants much more freedom to women than the historical church allowed them to have, but does that freedom include the permission to teach men?

    (The views expressed in this teaching are not necessarily those of Freedom Bible College, Concepts of Freedom Ministries, or any affiliations, ministers, faculty, or staff thereof.) INTRODUCTION. A. I ask your forgiveness in advance as this message is going to seem harsh at some points. ...read more

    We are blessed when our sins are forgiven... how much greater is the blessing when we can forgive those who wrong us.

    God Is Merciful-- Are We? MT 18:21-35 Today’s scripture reminds me of the story told about Gen. Robert E. Lee after the civil war. Lee visited a Kentucky lady who took him to the remains of a grand old tree in front of her house. There she bitterly cried that its limbs and trunk had been ...read more

    Second in a series of sermons based on Hebrews 11. Abel’s sacrifce is lauded not because of its content as much as the faith it took to give it to God.

    Grace and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. The text for tonight’s proclamation is taken from the Epistle, Hebrews 11:4; By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of ...read more

    If your religion does not transform you, convince you of it’s rightness, and is something you share, it’s not worth very much.

    January 6, 2002 Parkview Church of the Nazarene J. Richard Lord, Jr. What Is Your Religion Worth? I Peter 1:3-9 Is your faith genuine? It is worth more than gold?

    Why did Herod want to kill the Christ child? His motivation has much in common with those today who want to kill Christmas.

    OPEN: (I sat on a stool on stage, reading the following from “How The Grinch Stole Christmas.” I taped my sermon into the pages of the book and used the book as both prop and way to hide my sermon notes).

     | 4,985 views

    This sermon deals with the reality of God’s Presence having been allowed to be shoved out of the workings of the church and not very much is said about it.

    Scripture: Songs of Solomon Title: “His Former Presence” Introduction: One of the saddest things I can think of is to have the “Presence of the Lord” to depart from someone. To have once had the vibrant “Presence of the Lord” at work in your life and then for it to be gone.  It was common ...read more

    In the midst of gloom and doom in our lives we tend to focus so much on ourselves that we miss the fact that we are still walking with Jesus!

    13That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, 14and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16But their eyes were ...read more

    John repeatedly explains how critical "believing" is to the Christian. In fact he stresses faith nearly twice as much as the other 3 gospels. Why?

    (We opened with a 50 seconds cut from Don Adams in “Get Smart” - the episode called “Mr. Big” found on youtube.com - where Maxwell Smart goes into his “Would You Believe” routine.) “Would you believe?” It was one of the funnier skits that Don Adams developed for his sitcom “Get Smart”.

    We all focus far too much on the things that make churches different rather than the faith that makes us all one in Christ.

    My Cousin Louie 6-24-07 Galatians 3:23-29 I think we all know what it means to follow the “letter of the law.” It means you do exactly what you are told to do, no more, no less.
