    The Despised Gospel

    Contributed by Mitch Davis on Aug 28, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,982 views

    A general overview of how and why the gospel is despised by man (including a number of disciples who belong to the Lord).

    The Despised Gospel Theme: The true gospel message and commitment is despised by many. INTRODUCTION A. In the name of “mainstream Christianity” the gospel has a very easy flavor: 1. The idea is to get as many people in to their churches. 2. Getting the masses in is wonderful, but not at the expense ...read more

    Grace For The Despised

    Contributed by Jeff Hagan on May 27, 2017
     | 6,247 views

    True grace goes much deeper than we tend to think it does. We tend to reserve it for those who are already followers of Christ, however, Christ exercised grace, mercy, and love even to the most despised of sinners.

    Introduction: I’m sure most of you are familiar with the biblical account of a tiny little guy by the name of Zacchaeus. Well, far from just an entertaining story popular among Sunday School children, the incident with Zacchaeus gives us an incredible example of God’s grace and love. We see in ...read more

    Despised For The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Aug 1, 2018
     | 3,221 views

    Jesus revealed that those who were committed to Him should expect difficulty and persecution for their faith. We tend to think He referred to others, but it is applicable to believers everywhere.

    Despised for the Gospel Mark 13: 9-13 As we continue to discuss the Olivet Discourse, we are reminded that Jesus had warned of calamities the world would face as the end drew near. There would be many false prophets seeking to deceive, much fighting and war among nations, earthquakes, famine, and ...read more

    Despising The Shame

    Contributed by Tim Hinrichs on Oct 4, 2011
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,260 views

    Shame is one of the most painful experiences in our lives - dealing with it is crucial and the key is looking toward Jesus who both bore our shame and rejected shame that he was not guilty of.

    Looking to Jesus is not something natural for us. Normally we don’t look to Jesus but we look to other things. As you know we used to live in Poland. We rented a house with the most beautiful view of the mountains from our living room and bedroom. It was spectacular! But one year the field ...read more

     | 1,341 views

    Don't call them a prophet until you see the fulfillment and the 100% batting average.

    1Thessalonians 5: 19 Quench not the Spirit. 20 Despise not prophesyings. 21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. We are not to extinguish the Spirit, which is what cessationists do by denying that He can work in all the same ways He did when He was first given to the Church. They ...read more

    Despising The Lord's Table

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 24, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,537 views

    The New Year brings with it a sense that here we are again, doing the same old things, even in worship. But the prophet warns us that weariness in worship comes from offering God less than our best.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC January 3, 1988 Prominent in Greek mythology there is the story of Sisyphus. Sisyphus, you may remember, was the poor lost soul who had been condemned to spend eternity heaving and shoving a huge rock up to the top of a hill, only to have it roll ...read more

    Our Despised Friend Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jul 7, 2008
    based on 34 ratings
     | 9,335 views

    People refused to heed the Servant of the Lord or His message & for that reason did not experience the power of His arm. For it is through heeding the message that the mighty arm of the Lord brings salvation, to believer & lost alike.

    ISAIAH 53:1-3 THE DESPISED FRIEND [JOHN 1: 10-14] Chapter 53 continues to speak of the Messiah, Jesus, who would suffer for the sins of all people. Such a prophecy is astounding! Who would believe that God would choose to save the world ...read more

    Despising The Old Rugged Cross

    In one classic science fiction plot, antagonists attempt to gain control of the future by attempting to alter the past. Though it might not be as exciting as a Dalorian speeding at 88 miles per hour, maniacal forces in our own reality are attempting to accomplish nearly the same thing by ...read more

    Isa 53: 3 Jesus Was Despised Series

    Contributed by Robert Irvine on Apr 15, 2024
     | 37 views

    In Theology, if something is duplicated in the Bible, we can assume that God is making an effort to get our attention on the issue. So it’s interesting that the word “despised” is repeated twice in this verse. So we can say that God wants us to know that Jesus was despised.

    There is a general rule in Theology that if something is duplicated in the Bible, we can safely assume that God is making a determined effort to get our attention on the issue. And so it’s interesting that the word “despised” is repeated twice in this verse. So we can say that God wants us to face ...read more

    Hatred Growing

    Contributed by Damien Saylor on Aug 23, 2020
     | 2,146 views

    Now who do you think Hatred is growing towards? I would immediately list the answer as the lawbreakers, or the ungodly. No, overwhelmingly the answer is towards Christians. Somehow, no matter what may be happening, the Christian is blamed.

    Sermon- Hatred growing - As I’m studying I often go through little Christian Forums. I’m looking for other people’s thoughts about what’s happening in our world. - A trend that I’m noticing more & more is hatred. Q- Hatred for who? - I would immediately list the answer as the ...read more

    Paul's statement to Timothy was not that Timothy demand respect, but that he earn by setting a example in a number of spiritual disciplines.

    I Timothy 4:12-16 CONTEXT: Throughout this letter, Paul has given Timothy careful instructions about proper worship, qualifications of leaders—both deacons and pastors—the conduct of women in worship, etc. The summation of his letter really begins in chapter 3: 15-16: ...read more

    Don’t Despise The Small Things. Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Jan 2, 2019
     | 10,375 views

    We might feel small, just as the post exiles built a small temple. But when we are in the hands of God He chooses to use us as we are. Don’t be disheartened by how you think things are. Don’t despise the day of small things.

    Jexit: Judah Come Home Don’t Despise the Small Things.
