    Contributed by William Mouser on Jan 31, 2006
    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,325 views

    Claims by some that God speaks to them must be tested by two things: the pattern of God’s speaking to individuals recorded in the Bible, and by God’s previous revelation through the Prophets and Apostles.

    When God Speaks Psalm 63, 1 Samuel 3:1 – 20, 1 Corinthians 6:11-20, John 1:43-51 It was interesting for me to survey how other preachers have treated the passages in today’s lectionary, particularly the Old Testament and Gospel lessons for today. There are a number of sites on the internet ...read more

    The way you live your life will determine what they will say about you at your funeral.

    As you know I am preparing to attend my 35th high school reunion. This week I dug through the storage unit to find my Little Rock Central High School annual for 1967, my senior year. Couldn’t wait to get home to see those pictures. Lord, I was a dork! Looked like I was almost 12! And that ...read more

  • Where Does Your Mind Dwell?

    Contributed by Eston Williams on Feb 3, 2006
    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,046 views

    Each of us gets to choose the thoughts on which our minds dwell. Paul suggests dwelling on whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, admirable, and worthy of praise.

    Where does you mind dwell? What kind of thoughts occupy your thinking most to the day? It’s an interesting question to which most of us would probably reply, “I haven’t really thought about it.” The Apostle Paul encouraged the people who were the church in Phillipi and the people who are the ...read more

    Jesus shows us that humility comes from strength rather than weakness, from confidence, not insecurity.

    Matthew 18: 1-4; “1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" 2He called a little child and had him stand among them. 3And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom ...read more

  • Why Jesus Healed The Sick

    Contributed by William Mouser on Feb 5, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,437 views

    The reason for Jesus’ miracles, is to validate his office, his mission, and his message. Today, miraculous healings are not badges of prophetic office, but are, instead, answers to prayer by those who have access to God through His Son Jesus Chr

    One theme that immediately jumps out at us today from the lessons – particularly the Old Testament Lesson from 2 Kings and the Gospel lesson from Mark – is the theme of healing. The Old Testament lesson, of course, might be called the ultimate miracle of healing, when Elisha raises the Shunnemite ...read more

  • Healing The Body And The Soul

    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,083 views

    While Jesus healed the bodies of many afflicted with demons and disease, he came into the world to heal a deeper sickness than any of these: the guilt and stain of sin. In healing the paralytic, Jesus healed the sinner’s soul, and then his body.

    Psalm 32, Isaiah 43:18-25, 2 Corinthians 1:18-22, Mark 2:1-12 Healing the Body and the Soul Chuck Swindoll in his book "The Grace Awakening" had some interesting things to say about our needs and what God might have provided to meet them. Expanding on Swindoll’s suggestive words, I would render ...read more

    based on 24 ratings
     | 10,447 views

    In healing the leper, Jesus showed his power not only over disease but all that disease represents in this world: the corruption and chaos of sin.

    Psalm 42, 2 Kings 5:1-15, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, Mark 1:40-45 Jesus Heals the Leper The miracle of healing which Mark records in today’s gospel lesson might seem, at first, to present a kind of contradiction in Jesus’ own ministry at this point. After Jesus has been mobbed all night long in ...read more

    In the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector Jesus spells out how to get REAL with God.

    Stained Glass Masquerade Pastor Jeff Williams Luke 18:9-14 1-1-06 A Lying Lion Not many people know that Pastor Dick wanted to work for the zoo when he was younger. As a teenager, he bugged the manager nearly every day for a job. Each time the man would have to let him down easy. But one day, ...read more

    Psalm 25, Genesis 9:8-17, 1 Peter 3:18-22, Mark 1:9-13 For most of the past 500 years, there was an almost infallible way to tell Catholics from Protestants: the Catholics were the ones who had a cross-shaped smudge of ashes on their foreheads on Ash Wednesday. But, those times are changing. ...read more

    Suffering for the gospel is an indispensable part of the gospel. Faith that perseveres through suffering is rewarded with the victory of Christ’s resurrection.

    Psalm 16, Genesis 22:1-14, Romans 8:31-39, Mark 8:31-38 There is a body of legislation on the books in most states today that we might call “truth in advertising laws.” They were enacted by state legislatures over the past several decades in order to protect consumers from false advertising ...read more

  • The Parable Of The Tares

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jul 18, 2005
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,294 views

    How does Jesus’ parable, which argues for leaving tares undisturbed, square with admonitions in the epistles to discipline errant members of the congregation?

    Matthew 13:24-30,36-43 As far as the parables of our Lord are concerned, the one before us in today’s gospel is certainly clear. Some of them are not so clear, even when our Lord interprets them for his disciples; and others are left in the gospel record uninterpreted. This one, however, is ...read more

    Theme: Jesus frees us from all burdens Text: Zech. 9:9-10; Rom. 8:9-14; Matt. 11:25-30 Human reasoning and understanding cannot understand the truth that Jesus Christ is the Messiah.
