    Contributed by Glenn Abel on Jul 6, 2012
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,088 views

    This sermon was preached in response to reading a book that attacked the idea and validity of using the sinner’s prayer.

    "What About the Sinner’s Prayer?" Luke 18:10-13 The “sinner’s prayer” gets a bad rap. It has become popular today to trash the idea of “the sinner’s prayer.” Some very popular recent writers have reduced the idea of a sinner’s prayer to the level of superstition or magical incantation.

    Temptation is a given in the life of all Christians, how we handle that temptation is a completely different story. James gives us three simple steps tht we can take to successful push back the temptations that come our way.

    How to Handle Temptation James 1:13-18 Intro Do you struggle with temptation? I heard of someone who said, “I don’t struggle with temptation, I just give in to it!” Surely that is not the answer! But the fact is, there isn’t a day that goes by that we are not tempted in some way. Temptation ...read more

    Jesus asks Peter this question three times. It is the only time in scripture where Jesus asks anyone, "Do you love me?" It is an important question that determines our ultimate destiny.

    Do You Love Me? What are some things that you love? How does your love of these compare with your love for Jesus Christ? There’s a song in our songbook that goes: “The things that I love and hold dear to my heart are just borrowed they’re not mine at all. Jesus only let me use them to brighten ...read more

    Like an unexpectedly huge mustard plant, the kingdom will grow and comfort, in unexpected ways.

    Like Malformed Mustard Mark 4:30-32 The kingdom of God is like a VW Beetle. It is one of the smallest cars you will ever see. It is not very comfortable or powerful. It is not very stylish or practical. It is very cheap and not impressive in any way. There is no status with owning one. And yet, ...read more

    On Thanksgiving, just to who are we giving thanks to? Do we just give lip service to giving thanks?

    All this week, we will hear a lot about giving thanks. We need to give thanks for all we have. But you will hear little about giving thanks to who. To whom do we give thanks? Our parents? Our forefathers? Our government? Our lucky stars? The fact is everything we have and all that we are, we ...read more
