    If there one passage that defines this culture, it is Matthew 7:1-5. Since the Supreme Court legalized same sex marriage, this passage has been pushed to the forefront. This message examines what Jesus meant when he said, "Do not judge."

    A Fractured Fairy Tale Introduction When I was growing up, there was an older cartoon show that I enjoyed watching. It was the Rocky and Bullwinkle show.

    Old School Discipleship

    The passage we are going to look at today is from Deuteronomy 6 and has much to share with us about the topic of “discipleship” especially because this passage is quoted by Jesus in Matthew (22:37), Mark (12:29-30), and Luke (10:27).

    OLD SCHOOL DISCIPLESHIP DEUTERONOMY 6:1-12 #discipleship INTRODUCTION… “Old School” (p) If you use the phrase “Old School,” you are using a slang phrase that means “anything from an earlier era that is looked upon with respect.” (urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=old%20school).

    This passage includes the words "you will be made rich." Does that mean the prosperity gospel is true? Or is this passage actually pointing us toward using God's blessings in a way that doesn't further the American Dream?

    A SWEET SOUND TO A PROSPERITY GOSPEL PREACHER: “You will be made rich.” - 2 Corinthians 9:11a – “You will be made rich.” - As most of you know, there is a heretical teaching that God’s purpose in your life is to shower you with material and financial blessings.

    So, what does this passage in 2 Kings 4 have to do with us? I told you at the beginning that this was an odd passage in the life of the prophet Elisha and it has an important message for us today. That message is all about the action word “faith.”

    Exercising And Exorcising

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 8, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 684 views

    In this passage, we see two blind men who had to "exercise" their faith to receive their sight. However, we see another kind of exercise in this passage; or rather, “exorcise,” as Jesus exorcised a demon from a man who was mute.

    You have probably heard someone say before that we need to “exercise” our faith. In Hebrews chapter 12, we read, “Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:1b-2a). Jesus is both the author and finisher. He is ...read more

    In this passage we see a gentile woman from a pagan land showing the humility and faith that is honored by the Lord. And at the same time we see Jesus closest disciples showing dishonor to the same woman. May we read and learn from this great passage.

    If you would, please stand as we say together our memory Scripture for this quarter: Romans 12:4-5 “Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” ...read more
