    Sermon # 43- No Room For Self-Righteousness Series

    Self-righteous Jonah rejoiced over a plant that gave him shade, but had not compassion on the people of Nineveh who genuinely repented of their sins. There’s no room for self-righteousness, as all of us are sinners saved by God's grace alone.

    We read in Jonah 4:6, “Then the LORD God made a plant grow up over Jonah to give him some shade, so that he would be more comfortable. Jonah was extremely pleased with the plant.” (GNB) As we studied the life of Jonah there are numerous lessons that we have picked up, both for our personal lives, ...read more

    Thesis: Many people get offended if you tell them what to think – no one likes anyone telling them how to think. Yet the Bible tells us how we should think – whether we like it or not.

    Preach this - Phil. 4:4-8 Scripture Text: Phil 4:4-8 (NIV) 4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all.

    Following Jesus means courageous obedience and joyful endurance, even when it brings suffering or opposition, because God’s presence empowers and sustains His people.

    There are weeks when life feels like a locked door. You show up with a key that used to work—prayer you’ve prayed, habits you’ve honored—and the tumblers don’t budge. Bills stack up. Sleep slips away. A hard conversation waits across the breakfast table. Your calendar looks like a crowded hallway ...read more

    “let any one who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.” In nomine Patris. . . Over the last several months, my wife and I have learned a great deal about standing and falling.

    We are not commanded to blindly believe what the Scriptures teach. Rather "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord". Paul "reasoned" with Felix. Christianity IS the thinking man’s faith!

    CHRISTIANITY: THE THINKING MAN’S FAITH “And after some days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. Now as he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and answered, "Go ...read more

    Bowing To The Great Idol Of Self

    Contributed by Mark Adams on Jan 13, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,136 views

    The OT has a lot of interesting stories about idolatry, but is that really just a problem of the past? This sermon addresses the very real problem that our culture has in worshiping our own desires above all else.

    To the reader: What inspired this sermon was a quote I read in R.C. Ortlund’s book, When God Comes To Church, p. 194. "Self is the great idol standing at the center of our conceptual world, to which all bow low. We even have a duty-to-self ethic, as if self-denial were harmful, immoral, and ...read more
