    based on 71 ratings
     | 13,265 views

    This is about Simeon’s and Anna’s encounter with Jesus in the Temple.

    We’ve been looking at God encounters: Abe, Jacob, Moses, Gideon, Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel. They pointed to the Messiah (Christ). We turn now to encounters in the NT; encounters with Christ. Outside of the shepherds, this is the first one. Read Luke 2:21-38. Verse 21 was eight days after ...read more

    Jesus is beginning his ministry. John the Baptist had baptized him. He has just called Andrew and Peter. He had been a carpenter. Read John 1:43-51. I. Proposal.

    based on 29 ratings
     | 16,658 views

    This is about being salt and light in our world.

    How would you change the world? How would you change your world, the one in which you live? Who is going to make the change? How are changes made in our world? Who makes changes? What is our role as a church in changing our world? Or, do we even have a role? Read Matthew 5:13-16. 1) Salt What ...read more

    based on 47 ratings
     | 16,143 views

    This is about Jesus and woman at the well.

    This is a rich passage. I could spend a couple months preaching from this passage. Give background of animosity between Jews and Samaritans. Women were marginalized. Read John 4:1-42. What does it mean that Jesus had to go through Samaria? Was it divine or geographically necessary? ...read more

  • God Encounters: Zacchaeus Series

    based on 34 ratings
     | 8,744 views

    This is about Zacchaeus’ encounter with Jesus.

    Sing “Zacchaeus was a Wee Little Man.” Share recollections of Zach from Sunday school: short, tree, etc. Read Luke 19:1-10. Who was Zacchaeus? What happened to Zacchaeus? Who was Zacchaeus? The only biographical info is right here: “a tax collector and rich.” * He was DESPISED. To say that ...read more

    based on 38 ratings
     | 16,073 views

    This is about Jesus’ encounter with the criminal next to him.

    Read Luke 23:39-43 using Lectio Divina method. Can you see it? Can you visualize the scene? Can you see the blood and the agony? Can you hear the mockers? Experience the moment. There are some things we can take away from this.  REVILING the REDEEMER This reflects the words of Isaiah ...read more

    based on 38 ratings
     | 7,550 views

    This is about Jesus’ walk with the two on the Road to Emmaus.

    We don’t always get all the facts right away when something momentous happens. The day of 9/11 was filled with confusion and speculation. More confusing the closer to NYC and WTC. Recap Passion Week: triumphal entry, Last Supper, prayer, arrest, trial, execution, and burial. Now there were ...read more

    based on 20 ratings
     | 4,571 views

    This is about Paul’s conversion.

    Turning points are those things that happen, where after it life is never the same. Inventions are often turning points. The automobile altered life forever. The PC altered life forever. Cell phones (the electronic leash) altered life forever. It took almost a week for the assassination of A. ...read more

    based on 40 ratings
     | 15,154 views

    This series is based on A. M. Hills book "Holiness in the Book of Romans."

    Everything we have looked at over the last several weeks has led us to this point. Paul has been in realm of theory and theology. Now he gets practical. What does all this mean in everyday life? Read Romans 12:1-2. In v. 1 we have the word “therefore.” When you see that word you have to ask, ...read more

    based on 25 ratings
     | 3,575 views

    This series is based on A. M. Hills book "Holiness in the Book of Romans."

    This is, in essence, Paul’s mission statement. Mission statements are wildly popular today. A. The Spirit PROMISED Joel, “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh” (2:28). Isaiah 44:3 “For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ...read more

    based on 31 ratings
     | 6,559 views

    This is a Thanksgiving sermon.

    Sometimes Thanksgiving seems a bit perfunctory. Turkey, sweet potatoes, stuffing, cranberries, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie and the like set on the table. Christmas is coming: trees, gifts, travel and cards. Thanksgiving often becomes a stop over on the way from Halloween and Christmas. Read ...read more

    This is an Advent sermon.

    Advent is a time of preparation, not just for Christmas, but for the coming of Jesus. The celebration of Advent is more than a memory of Jesus’ birth.

    based on 29 ratings
     | 7,502 views

    This is a Christmas sermon.

    What is Christmas all about? In the classic Charlie Brown Christmas special, C. Brown cries out, “Will someone tell me what Christmas is all about?” Christmas is commercial. Read Isaiah 7:10-16. This passage tells what Christmas is really about: “God with us,” that is what Immanuel means. 1. ...read more

    based on 18 ratings
     | 4,952 views

    This is about revenge.

    The Sermon on the Mount contains many tough sayings. He said that adultery was more than just an act; it was a thought. He said that someone who was angry was also a murderer. Isaiah talked about a world turned upside down. Now Jesus is doing just that. Read Matthew 5:38-42. This is a hard ...read more
