    The Wise, The Prudent, And The Babies

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jul 3, 2005
    based on 9 ratings
     | 3,998 views

    Life in the Kingdom is not an intellectual meritocracy. Rather, it is a respite for those who labor and are heavy laden in their spiritual ignorance. In one prayer of thanksgiving, Jesus condemns the "wise and prudent," and He welcomes the babes into Hi

    The Wise, the Prudent, and the Babies Matthew 11:20-30 When I first began attending Dallas Seminary, I noticed something happening among many of my fellow students. Two, things, actually.

    Truth In Advertising

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jun 26, 2005
    based on 5 ratings
     | 3,084 views

    Unlike modern promoters of goods and services, who shade the truth, Jesus’ commissioning of his disciples was candid and complete -- with both warnings and promises.

    Truth in Advertising Ps. 89:1-18, Micah 7:1-7, Romans 6:3-11, Matt. 10:34-42 Some years ago there was a film about a group of crazy people – I think that was the title of the film: Crazy People – in which a group of patients in a mental institution began to write advertising. As I recall, the ...read more

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jun 21, 2005
    based on 7 ratings
     | 2,608 views

    This message was prepared for a community luncheon on Good Friday. It points to the OT adumbration of both the crucifixion of Christ, and His resurrection.

    Last night, our parish observed Maundy Thursday, the first of three Holy Week observances relating to the events surrounding Christ’s passion. Maundy Thursday marks the occasion of the last Passover Christ observed with his disciples, as well as the first Eucharist. And, while a Maundy Thursday ...read more

    Matthew's Puzzling Conversion

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jun 6, 2005
    based on 10 ratings
     | 2,855 views

    Matthew’s puzzling and sudden following of Jesus is not so puzzling if we attend to Matthew’s profession, his Levitial upbringing, and his recognition of Jesus as the one about whom Hosea prophesied.

    Matthew’s Puzzling Conversion Psalm 50 or 50:7-15, Hosea 5:15-6:6, Romans 4:13-18, Matthew 9:9-13 Last Sunday, I had occasion to mention the California coastal city named Laguna Beach. I mentioned Laguna Beach as an example of Jesus’ parable at the end of the sermon on the Mount, the part about ...read more

    based on 10 ratings
     | 2,672 views

    At the end of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus warns his hearers against false prophets, giving them criteria by which they may recognize them when they come.

    Beware False Prophets Deuteronomy 11:18 – 32, Psalm 31:1-5,19-24, Romans 3:21-25a,28, Matthew 7:21-27 I do not know many words spoken by Jesus which are more OBVIOUSLY compelling for Christians today that those read in the gospel appointed for today. These words appear at the very end of ...read more

    The Trinity Answers Three Questions

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jun 6, 2005
    based on 20 ratings
     | 4,278 views

    Rather than explaining the Trinity, a better approach is to turn the matter on its head, and to set forth the questions for which the Trinity is the answer.

    Rejoice In The Sufferings Of Christ

    Contributed by William Mouser on May 17, 2005
    based on 5 ratings
     | 2,756 views

    Days before His crucifixion, Jesus exposed the hostility of the unbelieving world to Himself, and (by implication) to all those who are loyal to His mission.

    Fifth Sunday in Lent Deuteronomy 18:15-22, 1 Peter 4:12-19, Luke 20:9-18 Rejoice in the Sufferings of Christ Jesus’ encounters with the Pharisees were always occasions for high drama. I can’t think of one of them, with the single exception of Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus, where Jesus and ...read more

    Sheep know their shepherd’s voice. Does our behavior show that we are Jesus’ sheep?

    Psalm 23, John 10:1-10 Do Sheep hear their shepherd’s voice? There is a story told about President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

    Hearing The Still, Small Voice

    based on 9 ratings
     | 4,153 views

    Combinging Jesus’ teaching on the coming Comforter and the testimony of a contemporary Christian apologist, this sermon urges appropriation of the Spirit’s ministry comes best by learning to listen to a still, small voice.

    Psalm 33, Ezekiel 11:14-21, 1 Corinthians 12:4-13, John 14:8-23 Hearing the still, small voice Today we note two birthdays, both of them mentioned in the bulletin.

    Overheard Prayers

    Contributed by William Mouser on May 17, 2005
    based on 11 ratings
     | 3,186 views

    Passing through the darkened streets of Jerusalem toward Gethsemane, Jesus prays for his disciples, a prayer that only John records. Everything we know as the gospel flows from the answers to that prayer.

    Sunday after Ascension Psalm 47, Ezekiel 39:21-29, 1 Peter 4:12-19, John 17:1-19 Overheard Prayers One of the more guilty pleasures one can encounter from time to time is to find oneself overhearing a conversation in which you are not a party.

    based on 10 ratings
     | 3,670 views

    After the resurrection, Jesus still had ministry to perform on His disciples, to equip them for the work he set before them. What he did for them still bears fruit in the lives of saints today.

    Isaiah 43:1-12, 1 John 1:1-4, Luke 24:36-49 A recipe for sainthood The Apostles of Christ pose a puzzle for us, one that many do not solve very well.

    The God Of The Living

    Contributed by William Mouser on May 16, 2005
    based on 12 ratings
     | 2,656 views

    In Jesus’ confrontation with the Sadducees concerning the resurrection, Jesus shows from the Sadducees own Biblical authorities that God has always been the God of the Living, not the dead.

    Matt. 22:23-33, Lk 20:27-40, Mk 12:18-27 The event in today’s gospel lesson actually occurred within three days of Jesus crucifixion. Therefore, you would think this lesson appropriate for some Sunday during near the end of Lent, or during passion week. But, its subject matter makes it entirely ...read more
