    The Openness Of Jesus Series

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Apr 1, 2007
    based on 37 ratings
     | 15,157 views

    1. Jesus’ arms are open as an act of invitation 2. Jesus gives an open invitation to a life of fruitfulness.

    It must have been quite a scene as Jesus rode into Jerusalem. First, he is not riding a warrior’s horse, he is riding on the colt of a donkey. His head is bobbing as the colt takes its awkward steps. And all around is a motley crowd. Former prostitutes, shouting children, people who had been ...read more

    (Psalm 35) O Lord, Fight Against Them That Fight Against Me Series

     | 14,399 views

    It is nothing new for righteous men, and the most righteous cause, to encounter enemies. This is a fruit of the old hostility in the seed of the serpent against the Seed of the woman.

Part 1 verses 1-10 Part 2 verses 11-16 Part 3 verses 17-28 Psalm 35 (KJV) Part 1 (vs. 1-10) 1 Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against ...read more

    Behold The Man (1) Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Oct 8, 2015
     | 5,805 views

    This sermon is a focus on Jesus as Pilate and others saw him -- a failure. The irony is, his "defeat" was actually his key to victory.

    1. Jesus, a Wanted Man "If Jesus had of entered into one of our modern cities, leading a parade, as the "triumphal entry into Jerusalem, He would have been arrested immediately. He would be a wanted man." * The FDA would want Him for turning water into wine without a license; * The EPA for killing ...read more

    Pride And Promiscuity

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,777 views

    Jesus contrasts a prideful Pharisee and a formerly promiscuous sinner desperate for grace. One is changed forever and one is unchanged. The difference: pride vs. humility. We all are in need of a Savior. Sadly, some don't realize it until it is too late.

    Luke 7:36-50 Pride and Promiscuity The sermon title for today’s story is in honor of my wife, who first introduced me to Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice,” a classic tale of two strong-willed and misunderstood personalities coming together in romantic love. But ...read more

    Think back to the last time you had an “unanswered prayer.” How did you respond before God? Augustine’s mother may have been angry with God that her son went to Rome after she prayed he not go. For us, next time, let us remember David’s response.

    Augustine in his confession, writes about as a young man he was intending to travel to Rome. His mother was against it and prayed against it. She prayed earnestly that he might be prevented from going. Her reason being that she feared what effect the temptation of sin in the depravity of that big ...read more

    Palm Sunday represents the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem as King of Israel. Although all his life He had been poor and obscure, at last His identity as the Son of David was recognized, nationally. Every knee shall bow & every tongue confess the King!

    The story of Easter is a story that can be best told from the lips of the empty tomb.God emptied the tomb to fill our hearts.

    If The Tomb Could Talk Proverbs 30:15-16 “…...

    Compassionate Grace

    Jesus was never to busy to stop and help whoever was in need. Wether a tax collector, or a rich young ruler. He showed grace to everyone, all the way to the cross. If we call ourselves Christian and we are Christ, shouldn't we be willing to do the same?

    Compassionate Grace Matthew 18:35-42 NKJ 35 Then it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging. 36 And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant. 37 So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. 38 And he cried out, saying, ...read more

    There are a variety of ways through which peace pursues, but the peace that Jesus provides surpasses them all.

    What is peace? Peace is something that we often long for in a variety of areas of our lives - interpersonal, political, financial, academic, even internal, and spiritual peace. Peace in all of these things is achieved through a variety means, but many of those means seem to contradict one another. ...read more

    Our sinful flesh chooses Barabbas, as did the crowd, because he is like us. But Christ chooses us, that we may be like Him.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “Which Jesus do you want?” He had two prisoners. Both of them had been accused of trouble-making. Of being insurrectionists and revolutionaries. ...read more
