    Can You Be A Christian Without Being Religious? Series

    Contributed by Dr. George Calhoun on Oct 30, 2008
    based on 10 ratings

    Christianity differs from all religions in that it’s not about us finding God, but about us responding to God who has been reaching out to us.

    Can you be a Christian without being religious? It almost sounds like a contradiction in terms. However, according to Webster, a religion is a system of faith and worship... Christianity is certainly that! According to Webster, a religion is the service to and the adoration of God expressed in ...read more

    Be A Matthew

    Unlike the Pharisees, Jesus saw Matthew’s need, his worth and his potential. Matthew understood his own need, was willing to follow Christ and shared the Good News.

    We are going to look at a man called Levi (also called Matthew in Matt 9:9-12). I will use the more familiar name Matthew here. It is surprising that Jesus would even call a tax-collector to follow Him. • Jesus was preparing a group of disciples who would eventually bring the good news about ...read more

    The Story

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Feb 9, 2008

    Why is so much of God’s word narrative? Why did God chose story to instruct us and call us to Christ? There is power in a story. God’s story has the power to save us.

    As we study through the gospel of Luke, or any of the gospels for that matter, we find God’s word communicating with us on a different level than direct instructions. God has chosen to use a wide range of literary genre as he inspired his Word to us. The gospels are more than historical stories ...read more

    Matthew wouldn’t be on the short list of people some congregations would invite to join them, but there are things we can learn about him that can help us bring people to Jesus.

    Levi the tax collector becomes Matthew the disciple

    Change? How? LK 5:27 After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth.

    Stewardship Of A "Patchless” Life Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 3, 2010
    based on 66 ratings
     | 18,191 views

    The Pharisees lived by a "patches" theology - if they could patch over the sin in their lives, the hole didn’t exist anymore. But Christians are not called to patch our old way of life. Do you know what we’re to do instead?

    OPEN: I’ve noticed over the years that kids love jokes that are plays on words. For example, when I was a kid (now I never did this myself, you understand), but I’ve known kids who would call a neighbor and ask: “Is your refrigerator running?” (pause). When the person on the other end of the line ...read more

    When Jesus called Matthew as a disciple, he followed without hesitation. But, we often bring a lot of baggage alongside our faith. How can we work towards dropping our baggage and following Jesus more freely?

    Opening and Introduction In our text today, we heard of a tax collector named Levi, more commonly known as the disciple Matthew. Matthew was working in his toll booth and left everything behind to follow Jesus. He left without hesitation, without conditions, and without negotiating how he would ...read more
