    "The Gospel Not Of Man"

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Nov 5, 2009
     | 2,731 views

    What aspect of the Gospel differentiates it from every philosophy or doctrinal statement of mankind? It is that it comes directly from God. It is otherworldly. It is entirely divine in origin.

    “For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.” Vs 11 Preacher and Bible commentator, John Stott, said this in his exposition of Paul’s letter to the Galatians: “To tamper with the gospel is to trouble the church… Indeed the church’s ...read more

    based on 17 ratings
     | 3,092 views

    Too often in the western world, we minimalize connections thinking that teaching principles is enough but 90% of the people who come to church do so on the basis of their friendly connections.

    Enjoy the Synergistic Blessings of Being United in Spirit (Phil. 2:1,2) "Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in Spirit, intent on one purpose." (Phil. 2:2) "Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another and ...read more

    "Should We Really Be Afraid Of Death?”

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,477 views

    If we take the time to realistically examine our culture, especially our western culture, we will readily see that death is not something we think about very much.

    For Christians, the season of Lent is the time of our church year like no other because our focus is drawn on a very unpopular topic, death. We are taken on a journey covering the last weeks of Jesus’ ministry, which ends with his horrible torture and death by crucifixion. But because we ...read more

    Table Crumbs, And More

    Contributed by William Mouser on Feb 28, 2005
    based on 6 ratings
     | 3,570 views

    This sermon has a strong focus on "little-c catholic Christians," focusing their attention on the words of a Canaanitish woman which found their way into Western Christianity’s eucharistic liturgy.

    Second Sunday in Lent Matthew 15:21-28 If one were to pick episodes out of the Gospels in order to introduce Jesus to someone who does not know him, I’ll bet that the gospel lesson appointed for today is exactly the one they would never pick. There is, of course, much in the Bible that would ...read more

    Paul wrote to Timothy, "I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day." There is a great difference between knowing about God, and knowing God. Paul knew the one to whom he trusted all.

They are not redundant, and may be used separately or presented on consecutive occasions. Note 2: I have developed some PowerPoint slides that I used in presenting this sermon. If ...read more
