    Contributed by Jon Mackinney on Aug 3, 2010
     | 3,145 views

    All of the religions of the world have works at their core; all except Christianity. Here is a great story of Jesus confronting the self-righteous works righteousness of His day, and ours!

    Passage: Matthew 15:1-20 Intro: Christianity is unique among the religions of the world. 1. and we are going to see why it is in this passage. 2. it is a conversation of intense conflict, so much so that it made Jesus’ disciples nervous. 3. in an atmosphere of love and grace, Jesus ...read more

    God's Word Or Ours?

    Religious traditions are dangerous. We can easily be satisfied by them. Passified by them so that we go to sleep and do not follow God's call. May God deliver us!

    Matthew 15:1-20 has been a key passage to point out the danger of vain worship by following man made traditions instead of God's word. I have often heard this passage applied to the activities that we do in our church services, but Jesus' application is actually much broader. So just what is a ...read more

    True seekers of God are people of character, compassion and conviction. Character is WHO you are, and it is a choice we make.

    I want to start on a series entitled TRUE SEEKERS and touch on 3 aspects of being true seekers of God – what really defines a godly Christian. • I want to share on these 3 areas: (1) character, (2) compassion, and (3) conviction. • I call them the qualities of Christianity – that which set us ...read more

    Living A Holy Life 2

    Attempts to reveal all the activities that cause unholiness and shows how holy-living can be enforced in one’s life when it seems difficult to remain holy.

    Sexual immorality will easily come to mind as an agent of defilement of a holy life; furthermore, a person who has indulged in making the body unclean has also grieved the Holy Spirit and is about crucifying Jesus a second time! (Ephesians 4:30, Hebrews 6:6). We have been taught in the scripture ...read more

    The Canaanite woman is the first woman that Jesus ministered to outside of the nation of Israel. The humble woman's story is hugely radical because Jesus' ministry to the entire world starts with her!

    When preparing sermons, sometimes I chose a passage because it is one of my favorites. Other times, I chose a passage because it is a commonly used or quoted passage, and I feel like it's good for all of us to delve into those readings more deeply. Sometimes I chose a Scripture reading because it ...read more

    Breaking The Law...for God's Sake

    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,957 views

    Matthew 15: 10-20 - Barclay stated that this Scripture was 'one of the supreme contests in history'. Two religious viewpoints clash with what Jesus says. Jesus again points to what is really important.

    Good morning. Laws are important in any society in order to keep peace and order. But there are laws and then there are laws. Here are some laws that are still on the books in our state of Kansas. • In Derby, it is illegal to hit a vending machine that stole your money. • In Dodge ...read more

    Do the so called transparent barriers that we construct between ourselves and God’s word provide enough safety from God’s wrath?

    Things we hear can defile us and make us unfit for Divine service, even as the Jews were not able to enter the promsed land because of the fear the words of others brought.

    Defiled by the tongue Text: Matthew 15:10,11 Proverbs 15:4, "A wholesome tongue [is] a tree of life: but perverseness therein [is] a breach in the spirit."

    When our need for conforming to outward observances exceeds our regard for inward spiritual reality we need to address our spiritual obsessive-compulsive disorder.

    Spiritual Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder - Matthew 15:1-20 1 Some Pharisees and teachers of religious law now arrived from Jerusalem to see Jesus. They asked him, 2 “Why do your disciples disobey our age-old tradition? For they ignore our tradition of ceremonial hand washing before they eat.” 3 ...read more
