Listening To Jesus

Contributed by John Dobbs on Jan 28, 2016

The hometown Nazarene synagogue community could not hear Jesus over the noise of their own presuppositions. They watched him grow up. What do we hear when we listen to Jesus? In this text we hear his love, truth, and authority.

Listening To Jesus Luke 4:21-30 Introduction Proverbs 1:5 (NASB) A wise man will hear and increase in learning, And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel.. “There's a lot of difference between listening and hearing.” ― G.K. Chesterton We should always be a ...read more

The Incognito Jesus

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 27, 2012

Frequently Jesus asked people He healed or those who received revelations about Him to keep it quiet and not tell what they knew. At other times His very appearance was altered to disguise His identity. Why did He choose to be incognito?

THE INCOGNITO CHRIST John 12:20-21 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: WHEN FULL OF BALOGNE 1. A fly was buzzing along one morning when he saw a lawn mower someone had left out in their front yard. He flew over and sat on the handle, watching the children going down the sidewalk on their way to school. 2. ...read more

The Implanted Word Series

Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Sep 3, 2011

There is a danger that we can read into the Bible instead of reading from the Bible.

James 1:21-22-Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. Lay Aside….Get rid of, to put of, to strip away. The word can ...read more

Sparkling Beetles!

Contributed by Bala Samson on Sep 28, 2015

How thoughtful God had been to fix those bulbs on their foreheads so that they don’t have to grope blindly in the dark.

Sparkling Beetles! Psalm 119:105”Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Sunday morning as I was praying and preparing for the church service, God suddenly brought to my memory the ‘sparkling beetles’ that I saw in my childhood days, in the hilly area of ...read more

Face To Face With God!

Contributed by Jan Oosthuizen on Oct 7, 2017

I believe the best way to communicate is meeting face to face. Yet we try to substitute this most ancient and proven way with technology and social Media and have become terribly disconnected as a result.

A face-to-face request is 34 times more successful than an email In research Mahdi Roghanizad of Western University and I conducted, recently published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, we have found that people tend to overestimate the power of their persuasiveness via text-based ...read more

Disciples Of Jesus Are Guided By God's Word Series

Contributed by David Owens on Dec 7, 2020

It is not possible for us to be faithful disciples of Jesus who make disciples with the Bible playing a proper role in our lives. The lordship of Jesus is exercised when we carefully follow the teachings of the Bible, and we can't follow what we don't know.

A. One day many years ago, a boy walked down the beach, and as he did, he spotted a woman sitting under a beach umbrella. 1. The boy walked up to her and asked, “Are you a Christian?” “Yes,” she replied. 2. Then the boy asked, “Do you read your Bible every day?” She nodded her head, ...read more

Looking In God's Mirror

Contributed by Bruce Hadley on Jul 27, 2021

James compares the Word of God to a mirror because you look into a mirror to be able to see yourself in effort to make changes to your appearance. Looking in the Holy Scriptures is like looking in a mirror. It reveals to us as God sees what’s in us.

James 1:22-24 22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. ...read more
