Sermons on Taught In Christ:

The Conquering Victory Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jan 8, 2004

Many Christians balk at the words "He descended into hell" and wonder if this is really taught in Scripture. I’m attempting to clarify what occurred between the cross and the empty tomb.

Growing Up Is Hard Series

Contributed by Stephen Wright on Jul 10, 2005

Are we progressing in the faith or are we, like many of those Hebrew Christians: • dull of hearing • still need to be taught elementary truth • babies wanting milk, not solid food?

In the earlier chapters we have studied some wonderful passages about the Saviour’s divinity and humanity and His wonderful fitness to be our merciful and faithful High-priest. Now we are going to move on to some rather difficult or unpalatable passages. It is tempting to skip these, but they are ...read more

He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Fig Tree) # 16

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

The Lord taught many parables. But to fully understand these parables as we study them, we need to examine what motivated Him to teach that particular parable.

In order to do this, you generally have to read the verses that precede the parable He spoke. For example, following Jesus' comments about the widow giving her two small coins in the temple, He teaches about: • The destruction of the temple • The coming of the end of the age Look at Luke 21: ...read more

He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Parable Of The Sower) #1

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 15, 2022

Many ministers use poems, illustrations and humor to get across what they are wanting to teach. But a favorite tool of the Lord was parable

He used them frequently! The Bible says He taught them many parables. WHY DID THE LORD TEACH IN PARABLES? Notice, the Scripture explains the Scripture. Look at Mark 4:1-2, we read, “And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he ...read more

He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Closed Door) # 17

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

Notice, the Bible says in verse 22, “And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.”

In this verse of Scripture we find the Lord had two goals as He was traveling to Jerusalem. (1) His ultimate goal was to go to Jerusalem where He would die for the sins of mankind. Luke told us that in Luke 9:51. We read, “And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, ...read more

He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Unjust Steward) #11

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

We have heard it said many times, in many places, by many people, “DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU.”

This would be a great place to live if everyone lived by this Bible principle. The fact is, many among us would be irate, to say the least, if others treated us the way we treat others.

Why Jesus Taught That It Was Ok To Disagree As Long As One Was Not Disagreeable In Manner

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000

There are times when everyone must learn how to be politely disagree.

There are times when everyone must learn how to be politely disagree. A person who agrees just to avoid conflicts is a coward.

Why Jesus Taught Us To Fear God Rather Than People

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000

Jesus taught His disciples, "I will tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell."

It is easy to feel intimidated around powerful people. However, King David, who knew what it felt like to be afraid of powerful people who sought to destroy him once wrote, "I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears." (Psa. 34:4) Jesus taught His disciples, "I will ...read more

How Jesus Taught That Faith In God Is Greater Than Any Problem

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000

Perhaps the greatest test of faith you will face may be in loving people who are closest to you. Our God is able to overcome the most difficult of problem, person or predicament if we believe in His power!

Everyone struggles with problems that seem overwhelming and tend to stress us out. Jesus once told His disciples, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." (Matt. 17:20,21) The ...read more

How Jesus Taught That Faith In God Is Greater Than Any Problem

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Sep 17, 2006

Jesus knew that faith would help people focus their attention on God’s power rather than their limited resources. Without an active means of expressing our faith, we are unable to grow in faith.

He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Parable Of The Net) # 3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 15, 2022

This is a fascinating parable the Lord used in teaching something He wanted men to know about the kingdom of heaven.

Many of the things we hear about the kingdom of heaven today are not the truth. For example, many ministers today, if they do not come out and preach it, they imply that if you live a good moral life and attend church frequently, when you die you will go to heaven. But the fact is, the Bible ...read more
