"The Rich Little Man"

Contributed by Ken Sauer on Mar 10, 2010

In Luke 19:1-10 Jesus’ willingness to be present to Zacchaeus ends up being an act of evangelism. His encounter with his Savior changes his life. Is there ever anyone beyond the reach of God’s grace. The answer is "No!"

Luke 19:1-10 “The Rich Little Man” By: Ken Sauer, pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN Poor Zacchaeus! He wants to see Jesus but he can’t. He’s a small man, and he can’t see through the crowd. So, he climbs a tree. Poor Zacchaeus!... …or is he? Luke tells us ...read more

Jesus The Great Soul Winner

Paul, The Emotional Case Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 10, 2012

Neither Paul nor we are meant to be Mr. Spock from Star Trek; Paul was comfortable with emotion, but -- even when he was emotionally intense -- he kept his eyes on Jesus and sought to follow God’s will, not his own.

Paul, the Emotional Case (2 Corinthians 7:2-16) 1. I love this old Jewish joke: During a service at an old synagogue in Eastern Europe, when the Shema prayer was said, half the congregants stood up and half remained sitting. The half that was seated started yelling at those standing to sit down, ...read more

Looking Down The Path Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 7, 2013

Each decision we make in life is not a discrete unit. It is connected in a long chain of decisions that leads in a trajectory either towards the character of the Lord or away from it. This part of Psalm 119 helps us set the right course in life.

105 – 112 Verse 105 is one of the coolest verses in the Bible. It really speaks to the working of God’s Word in our lives. A “lamp to my feet” suggests providing guidance in the near-term, the everyday sorts of decisions in life: how do I answer, how should I react, what ...read more

The Saddest Word Series

Contributed by Jim Kilson on May 27, 2014

Part 2 of 8 in a series covering words in the Bible that are all too often overlooked or ignored.

INTRODUCTION: So what is the “saddest” word in the Bible? We mentioned it last week, so I guess we could call this a “test.” If we were to ask, again the answers would be as diverse as the people answering the question. Some would say death, fear, hate, or even lost… ...read more

The Wealth Test

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Sep 22, 2019

Why is money such a common topic in Jesus’ preaching? Could it be that our wealth is a test? Could the way we handle money reveal whether we choose heaven or hell for all eternity? Let’s discuss this and the Great Reversal in Luke 16:19-31.

The Laser Light Of The Gospel Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 23, 2019

The New Covenant Gospel is not a competitor with God’s plans for Israel, but there is a difference between the Old and New Covenants: The Israelites became part of the Old by birth, we become part of the New Covenant only by second birth.

The Laser Light of the Gospel (Romans 3:1-20) 1. Laser lights are useful as pointers. I have one, but only rarely use it. 2. They are not toys. [https://phys.org/newsstory below:] 3.

When The World Becomes Too Enticing Series

Some important reminders for those who are enticed to run with the world.

- This sermon handles the second vision (1:18-21) and the third vision (2:1-13). - It is tempting to spiritualize the truths contained in this passage, but I think there is a larger truth that is well worth our time in focusing on the straightforward, long-term truth shared here. - In some ...read more
