    Romans--The Credits

    Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Oct 26, 2009
     | 3,653 views

    In closing out a series on the last part of the Letter to the Church at Rome, this sermon examines Paul’s use of personal names and how they tie to some of the themes of the book.

    The Name Game Text: Romans 16:1-27 How many of you like to watch the credits at the end of a movie? Wailam gets disgusted with me because I have a tendency to want to stay to the end of the credits in order to find out who performed a particular song used in the soundtrack, to ascertain the general ...read more

    Tempting Proposition

    Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Aug 31, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,570 views

    Convincing teenagers that temptation is a no-win proposition is hard to do, but this oft-neglected passage from Isaiah offers insight.

    In the Broadway musical, “Guys and Dolls,” there is a line where Sky Masterton (the Marlon Brando role in the film version) shares some advice that his father gave him. Sky is a gambler and the entire play revolves around a certain bet that he makes which pays off in a way he isn’t expecting. But I ...read more

    The Cause And Cure Of Dissension Among The People Of God

    Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Aug 24, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,539 views

    Numbers 12 provides a pattern which demonstrates the way dissension develops among God’s People and why. Two New Testament passages show the antidote.

    It was one of those nightmares I hope never to experience again. Our regular mid-week prayer service usually had somewhere between 6-10 people in attendance with a maximum of 4-5 cars parked alongside the church building to accommodate them. As I pulled up to the church on this particular night, I ...read more

    The Most Eloquent Word In History

    Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Aug 14, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,861 views

    At the start of the letter to the Hebrews, God speaks the most eloquent possible Word to humankind. Several Greek words help us understand the miracle of Jesus as the Christ.

    God’s Most Eloquent Message Text: Hebrews 1:1-4 Did you ever read the advertising copy or fine print about certain automobile tires? Would it ring a bell to suggest that these tires were manufactured for extra durability from the most advanced polymers? Advanced polymers—a mixture of compounds of ...read more

    The Worship Coach Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,620 views

    New Testament worship either leads to action or it isn’t really worship.

    People hire acting coaches, career coaches, executive coaches, financial coaches, job search coaches, and life coaches in addition to athletic coaches. What are all of these coaches supposed to do? I mean, White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper didn’t want to take anything away from Mark Buehrle’s ...read more

    Body Language Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,842 views

    The Bible speaks of the church as the Body of Christ for a reason, but most believers fail to celebrate their unique place in the body.

    The ancient Romans had an aphorism that went “Mens sana in corpore sanos.” It means, “A healthy mind in a healthy body.” The ancients were quite correct that the two go together. The mind directs the body. It may do it on a subconscious or even unconscious level, but without signals from the brain, ...read more

    Elijah's Depression

    Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Aug 11, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,776 views

    Beginning with a monologue that takes some poetic license as Elijah passes the mantle to Elisha, this teaching gives tips from a Biblical model on dealing with depression.

    [This sermon began with a monologue. It presumed that Elijah needed to fill Elisha in on what had gone before. With dramatic license, it recounts what is in the Bible’s account, even though the Bible doesn’t specify that Elijah actually filled Elisha in or needed to fill Elisha in on Elijah’s ...read more

    Does Not Ask For Much--Does He? Series

    Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians serves as a terrific model for praying for each other (and our churches, in general).

    Just for fun, let’s start with a trick question today. How many letters to the Ephesians are there in the New Testament? Well, I said it was a trick question. There are at least two. There is one that we’ll be looking at this morning and there is one in Revelation 2. You see, Ephesus was an ...read more

    Torah-Torah-Torah

    Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Jun 27, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,894 views

    Israel’s "Shema" is not only an exhortation for Jews to make God’s teaching an integral part of their lives, but it serves as a good reminder for Christians to internalize the Word as opposed to merely using it for "adornment."

    I think I lasted three practices with the freshman high school basketball team. What good is a 4’ 10” guard with limited vertical leap, so-so jump shot skills, and only a slightly above-average ability to steal the ball? But I well remember those three practices. We would change into gym clothes ...read more

    You Are There! Series

    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,277 views

    Not only is Psalm 139 important theologically, but it is a good model for learning what we need to do in beginning to pray successfully by praying the Scriptures themselves.

    In the “Dark Ages” of television, before there were hundreds of cable channels with nothing to watch and before there was even color broadcasting, much less HDTV, the news division of one of the networks (CBS) had a show entitled, “You Are There!” The idea of the show was to take you back and allow ...read more

    Out Of Sequence

    Contributed by Johnny Wilson on May 25, 2009
     | 2,217 views

    When some teenagers asked me a question about the relationship between baptism and the Holy Spirit, it forced me to rethink some of my assumptions. Here’s how I presented to them.

    It’s interesting to note that when we take certain verses out of their context, we end up creating our own systems to replace God’s “system.” God’s system is called covenant or relationship. Our systems tend to be what we can control. But, of course, we aren’t the ones in control when God is ...read more

    We Have Nothing

    Contributed by Johnny Wilson on May 21, 2009
     | 2,249 views

    After Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He shared some parables about our persistence in prayer and the certainty of God’s great gift in answer--the Holy Spirit.

    For someone who doesn’t have a lot to be proud of, I’m afraid that I have to confess that I have acted with pride far too often in my life. Now, I don’t mean that I’ve surrounded myself with a “posse” of fans and supporters. I don’t mean that I’ve deliberately put anybody down or ignored them ...read more

    Jesus And The Post-Resurrection Fish-Fry

     | 6,093 views

    Jesus appeared on the beach as an intervention to keep the disciples from missing out on Pentecost and going off-the-track of ministering to the entire world.

    This is going to seem like a strange question, but how many of you have heard of “The Amazing Randi?” He was a stage magician, “mentalist,” and escape artist (in the tradition of Houdini). He once escaped from a block of ice and once escaped from a straitjacket while hanging upside-down over ...read more

    Army Or Arena Series

    Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Apr 19, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,317 views

    Hosea apparently interrupts a feast (possibly Passover) in order to say that loyalty and faithfulness are vital to authentic living/worship.

    Army and Arena Text: Hosea 9:1-9 In The 24-Hour Christian, Pastor Earl Palmer warns that people, in general, flock to any proof of power. “Political tyrants always use the army and the arena, the power of the sword and the circus.” (p. 47) This is as true in the church as it is in the political ...read more

     | 4,929 views

    When Israel went "over the line," God had to pull back his protective "overwatch." We need to be certain that we are depending upon God instead of other answers.

    Students of military tactics will have recognized the two terms in my title for today’s sermon. The first refers to a superior force finding a weak point in the enemy’s defenses and rolling right over and through the enemy without having to stop for a pitched engagement. The aggressor defeats the ...read more
