    Call No Man Father! Series

    Contributed by David Smith on Jun 19, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,782 views

    You must not be called ’Teacher,’ because you are all equal and have only one Teacher. And you must not call anyone here on earth ’Father,’ because you have only the one Father in heaven. Nor should you be called ’Leader,’ because your one and only leader

    “Call no man ‘Father’” says Jesus. That’s part of our reading today from Matthew 23. Jesus says, “call no man ‘Father’”. What’s that doing here? And I don’t just mean what’s it doing here as this week’s reading. I mean, what’s it doing in the Bible? Since the (not so recent) publication of “The ...read more

    Word And Eucharist Are One Series

     | 3,721 views

    The Gospel proclaims the divine reversal--the weak become strong by grace; thus also Word and Sacrament are the means by which weakness is strengthened.

    June 15, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis Here in the penumbra of the Feast of Corpus Christi, it is particularly helpful to reflect on what many have called “the great reversal.” The Gospel is one frequently quoted to show the power of nonviolent resistence. Go two miles when forced to go one. St. ...read more

    Strengthen in and through God’s faithfulness we become able to direct our inner man, our hearts into the love of God and into the perseverance that comes from Christ. It is the directed heart that dwells in the love of God and in the endurance of Christ.

    [ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE FUTURE SERIES] 2 THESSALONIANS 3: 1-5 DIRECTABLE HEARTS [Acts 17:5-9] This last major section of the epistle calls on its readers to live in the light of the truth of God’s Word.

    In this lesson we examine the boldness of John the Baptist in Luke 3:18-20 and learn several truths about bold Christians.

    Scripture We are studying the life of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke in a sermon series I am calling, “To Seek and To Save the Lost.” The first two chapters of Luke’s Gospel deal with the prophecies and births of John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ, and then what happened to ...read more

    Rubbing People The Wrong Way

     | 5,679 views

    Jesus asks us the same question he asked Peter long ago at the shore of the Sea of Galilee; namely “Do you love me?” What he is really asking is “Do you love me more than anyone or anything else?

    There was once an evangelist named Billy Sunday. He was the Billy Graham of his generation. He was conducting a crusade in a particular city, and in one sermon he said something critical of labour conditions for workers in that city. After the service, several businessmen sent him a message which ...read more

    Lesson 11: A Teaching Sermon Series

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Mar 14, 2018
     | 4,390 views

    We will discuss modifying the sermon outline to a teaching format, and share a brief introduction to how we can reach people who learn by different methods.

    Lesson Goal I hope to encourage obedience to Jesus' command to teach in Matthew 28. Lesson Intro Jesus instructed the disciples to both preach the Gospel (Mark 16:15) and teach those who responded, to obey what he had taught them (Matthew 28:19-20). Preaching is more or less gospel work, and ...read more

    The Man Who Had Everything, Except . . . Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 15,041 views

    Jesus has a shocking answer to the young man who asked him what good thing he could do to obtain eternal life. His answer suggests that perhaps we need to reconsider how we present the Gospel--that the faith that saves also repents and follows Jesus.

    Eyewitness to the Messiah The Man Who Had Everything, Except . . . Matthew 19:16-22 Many, many years ago I met a very successful young man who had an interest in spiritual things. He had actually come over to our apartment just after we had started our church to see about selling or leasing to ...read more

     | 3,645 views

    "they want someone to serve as an instrument and to express their feelings in such a way that afterwards, each one may chose how he or she will continue the conversation."

    Thursday of 16th Week in Course Have you ever heard someone–maybe even a preacher–express the idea that the God of the OT is a God of judgement and vengeance, and the God of Jesus is a God of mercy and love? Some of us may have held that opinion during our life. A famous early ...read more

     | 9,319 views

    A hitherto hidden wisdom revealed in the Apostolic preaching of the Cross.

    THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE CROSS. 1 Corinthians 2:1-16. Paul is at pains to stress the very different manner in which he teaches when compared with the peddlers of the wisdom of this age. This does not mean that he lacks wisdom, nor that he is any less capable than the rhetoricians: but that he ...read more

    Seventy Sent Forth

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 5, 2016
    based on 7 ratings
     | 9,357 views

    We are warned not to delight so much in our gifts and victories as to rejoice in the fact that our names are written in heaven.

    SEVENTY SENT FORTH. Luke 10:1-11; Luke 10:16-20. The first thing we might notice about the appointment of the seventy in this passage is that they were appointed by Jesus (Luke 10:1). It is hazardous for anybody to enter into ministry without the commissioning of Jesus (Romans 10:15). However, ...read more

    Peter and John are emboldened by the Spirit to defend themselves before the Sanhedrin.

    These Are not Idiots Acts 4:5-22 Peter and John had been under great pressure before when Jesus was arrested by both the Temple guard and Roman soldiers. Peter made a temporary and futile attempt at bravado before he caved miserably. The two of them followed at a distance and came into the ...read more

    What makes for a good movie? Heart-stopping chase scenes with big explosions? Is it action like this that makes for a good movie? Well no, not by itself. You also need a good plot to go along with the action. And you can’t move a plot along very well if no one speaks in the movie. ...read more

    Not many people should be teachers. Why? There is danger in speaking. 1- Some will be judged strictly 2- Some will stumble easily 3- Some will speak deceitfully

    INTRO.- Teacher, teacher, who is the real teacher? ILL.- William A. Ward (America’s most quoted writers of inspirational maxims) has said, "The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” I don’t know about teachers but I ...read more

    In chapter 2 of 1 Thessalonians, Paul reminded them of the ministry he conducted among them. His description of his ministry provides us with an excellent model for our ministry.

    Introduction: A. Last week, in our sermon, we worked our way through 1 Thessalonians chapter one and noticed why the church at Thessalonica was a model church. 1. We discovered that they were a model church for at least three reasons: (1). Their Faithful Service. (2) Their Open Receptivity. (3) ...read more
