    Contributed by David Hersey on Mar 28, 2015
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,577 views

    The 1st century Christians rejected the use of manmade instruments of music in their worship to God. The reason they did so was the same reason why they rejected animal sacrifices and other elements of the old law. This sermon examines this in detail.

    Why New Testament Christians Reject the Use of Mechanical Instruments of Music There’s a general attitude building among the Lord’s church about mechanical instruments of music that tends to be a bit fuzzy. We are seeing a number of large congregations that are making a switch to ...read more

    Why Did Jesus Say He’s Not A Judge?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 18, 2014
     | 3,433 views

    A look at two short verses where Jesus says He wasn't appointed a judge. Why did He say that? This leads us to a larger discussion of the dangers of coming to Jesus with a pre-existing agenda.

    A CONFUSING STATEMENT: Why does Jesus say He’s not a judge? - Luke 12:13. - This is an odd statement by Jesus. Why does He say that He was not appointed a judge between them? - It’s important to read the full sentence. Jesus doesn’t say, “I am not a judge” or ...read more

    Why Did Jesus Come To This Earth And A Die As A Common Criminal?

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Dec 20, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,304 views

    Why did Jesus come to this earth as a tiny baby, a die as a common criminal. What hope do we have for the future knowing that God himself was innocently crucified. This sermon is subtly hard hitting, giving hope for the future.

    Note: The hymns "The sermon King" and "I cannot tell" to the tune Danny Boy are perfect for the sermon. Introduction One of the greatest yet strangest of stories in the bible is that of almighty God coming into this world and living as we do. ... And there is an even stranger story is that he did ...read more
