    Donut Theology / Be Teleios

    Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Feb 18, 2011
    based on 176 ratings
     | 80,465 views

    In Greek, the word translated "perfect" in Matthew is "teleios". " If something accomplishes what it is designed to do, it is said to be perfect that is "teleios" So "telios" is often translated as "mature". "Teleios" has the idea of "being complete."

    Jesus proclaims In the Gospel Lesson today: "Be perfect, therefore, as your Heavenly Father is perfect." Be Perfect! Let us consider two other passages that speak to this calling, a calling to be perfect: From Genesis Gen. 6:9 "Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked ...read more

    A sermon based on Jesus and the healing on the Sabbath.

    In our Gospel reading for today, Jesus performs yet another miracle. However, the thing that causes the biggest stir among many is not the fact that he performed a miracle, but rather the day of the week on which he performed it. Jesus heals this woman on the Sabbath. Healing on the Sabbath? ...read more

     | 12,467 views

    While we sing and talk of one coming on a sleigh, we must remember that Jesus will also be Coming to Town but rather than on a sleigh pulled by reindeer, he will be in the clouds and rather than by reindeer, he will come with power and glory!

    INTRO Isn’t it amazing what Christmas has become? How the sweet calm picture of the birth of one named Jesus has become so much about rush, money, and envy. ILL: Listen to this parody of the Christmas season that I read this past week: "And there were in the same country children keeping watch ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 14,261 views

    The declaration and mission of Nehemiah is more than just rebuilding a wall, it's a calling for men and women to return to living fully for the God in heaven. Doesn't the church today have the exact same mission? Why are we not living it?

    Nehemiah’s Mission Nehemiah 2:1-20 Introduction - Nehemiah is a great study of leadership, but also of obedience to God - Last time we saw our man Nehemiah receiving very disturbing news -- This news was about Jerusalem and its apparent fall into ruin; people disgraced -- His heart ...read more

    Why has Jesus been forsaken? So that we do not need to go through heel and so we can have a relationship with God.

    Message Matthew 27:45-56 Jesus Pays ... Mankind Stutters Good Friday is the day we specifically focus on the death of Jesus. Now let’s remember that His death is just a small part of the whole – what we call – Passion Narrative. It seems a bit strange to call this act “The Passion” especially ...read more

    Words uttered at the end of a man's life take on extra significance. What did our Lord say in His final moments? And what do they speak to us today?

    Luke 23:26-34 NIV 26 As they led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus. 27 A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him. 28 Jesus turned and said to ...read more

    Life is full of uncertainties. Solomon questions the meaning of life: who am I? why am I here? and where am I going? 3 questions we all ask at some point in our seemingly meaningless life.

    1 For I considered all this in my heart, (WHY?) so that I could declare it all: that the righteous and the wise and their works are in the hand of God. People know neither love nor hatred by anything they see before them. 2 All things come alike to all: One (fate-event) happens to the righteous ...read more
