    "Stuff!"

    Contributed by J. Curtis Goforth, O.s.l. on Oct 16, 2006
    based on 8 ratings
     | 6,104 views

    Mark’s gospel tells the story of a man who cannot follow after Jesus because of his "many possessions." Although this man is typically known as rich, Mark tells us he just has a lot of stuff--much like us! Jesus re-defines riches here.

    “That’s Where I Keep All My Stuff” Sermon on Mark 10:17-31 Pentecost +19-B October 15, 2006 Rev. J. Curtis Goforth, O.S.L. Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, ...read more

    For this young man his stumbling block was his riches, most of us don’t have this riches problem as our stumbling block, but just about all us do have some thing that hinders our walk as a Christian in some way or another, every bodies stumbling block is

    The stories of the Rich Young Ruler and of Mary and Martha show that Christians need the discipline of denying self, learning of Christ and following HIm in order to find peace.

    THIS One Thing I DO Philippians 3__13 If a person is even remotely interested in the world around him, has an occupation and a family, his responsibilities and interests quickly out grow his ability to accomplish all that need be done or that he would like to do.

    There are spiritual dangers with some of the possessions we own.

    For many, there is a process in life. That process is that we set the goal, we make the sacrifice, we achieve the goal. Then we sit back and take pride in our accomplishment, we feel good about what we have done. We set a lot of goals for our lives, and we approach these goals with the ...read more

    We live in a world that prompts us to be self-centered and individualistic. What does God expect of us? This sermon will teach us about giving the way that is pleasing to God.

    We read in Acts 4:32, “Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common.” (ESV) One of the key reasons for the tremendous growth of the early church was that the people ...read more

    INTRO: How many of us liked math when we were growing up? I remember in college, before being called into the ministry, I was going to get a math degree. But I realized I could not make it through Calculus 3. I just could not understand it. It’s like today living in a society that teaches us one ...read more

    The stone heart is resistant to God, the heart of flesh, created by God is open to and led by him. We need a change of heart from hard, resistant stone to soft, Spirit-pliable flesh.

    1. Dinosaur Heart It was 103°F in Hell Creek, South Dakota, one day in September 1993. Dinosaur hunter Michael Hammer was amazed at what he saw.

    Jesus lovingly exposes our self-sufficiency, invites us to deeper dependence on Him, and offers restoration, hope, and true riches for our lukewarm hearts.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile for the foyer and a sigh for the soul. Bills on the counter, deadlines on the calendar, questions on the heart. And yet, here we are, gathering around a Letter from Jesus to an ancient church in a city called Laodicea—a church with polished doors and tepid ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 7, 2019

    Money is powerful! The amount of money we have allows or prevents us from having or doing certain things. Jesus understand the power of money as a prime competitor for our hearts. The church echoes Jesus' warning as we see what he was willing to pay for our eternity.

    We learn very early on in life that when you walk into a store and you see something that you would like to buy, what is one of the first things that you look at? You look at the price tag. You want to know how much money that thing is going to cost you and if you have enough money then to buy ...read more
