  • French Horns Or Paper Dolls?

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 30, 2002
    based on 87 ratings
     | 6,289 views

    Which would you rather be - a Christian who puts on Christ’s character like a costume, or an instrument playing beautiful music in God’s hands?

    I admit it – I played with paper dolls as a young boy. I guess I got them from my sisters – we may have even played them together. But I remember thinking it was pretty cool that you could take this people, cut out different clothes and hair and stuff for them and make them into anything you wanted ...read more

  • Out Of The Mouth

    Contributed by Steve Gladwell on Jul 28, 2002
    based on 66 ratings

    Looking at some of the things we can create with our mouths.

    Out of the mouth When is a parable not a parable? That question always comes to my mind when I read today’s passage from Matthew’s Gospel. We are told that Peter said to Jesus “Explain the parable to us”. But it does not matter how many times I read the passage, I cannot find a parable. Instead, I ...read more

  • Jesus And The Canaanite Woman

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Sep 5, 2002
    based on 117 ratings
     | 30,587 views

    This sermon addresses how Jesus ministered to the Canaanite woman when others, including Jesus’ own disciples, would have just brushed her off.

    JESUS AND THE CANAANITE WOMAN Text: Matthew 15:10-28 It seems that Jesus was indifferent toward this Canaanite woman who was in need of His help. Matthew 15:24 could give one that perception on the surface: "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel" (Matthew 15:24 RSV). ...read more

    based on 74 ratings
     | 8,257 views

    How did Jesus deal with "Traditon." How can we apply His teaching to our practices today?

    The Trouble with Tradition Mark 7:1–13 INTRODUCTION We obtain biblical authority from three ways: 1. Direct Command, 2. Divine Example and 3. Necessary Inference. When we come across anything for which we do not have a command, example or cannot infer proper action from clear biblical ...read more

  • Spiritual Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,382 views

    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

    A sermon on removing the sin from our lives.

    Turn to Mathew 15:10-11 Picture a room with sunlight shinning through the window. What do you see in your mind, maybe a bright clear day, warm sun shining in on you? What do we really see in our homes? Sun shining through the window showing us the dust in our homes, right? This is how sin is ...read more

  • Defiled By The Tongue

    based on 8 ratings
     | 8,521 views

    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." In the OT there were many rules and instructions that if one broke one of them, they didn’t lose their salvation but they would be in a state ...read more

  • Desiring Forbidden Fruit ?

    Contributed by William Ellis on Aug 25, 2005
    based on 10 ratings
     | 5,377 views

    Sin causes us to do the unthinkable. Hell rejoices when we taste of the forbidden fruit because it knows we will pay for the results. Jesus came to give us life and forgiveness. Heaven rejoices when we taste of salvation because it knows that it has...

    Desiring Forbidden Fruit Matthew 15:10-20 Intro: I began thinking about Eve picking up that piece of forbidden fruit… She knew that God had created the earth in 7 days. She could even think about how God had First Day – light (day from night) Second Day – firmament Third Day – divided sea ...read more

  • God's Word Or Ours?

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Sep 11, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,870 views

    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

  • The Hazards Of Worship Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Feb 11, 2011
     | 4,742 views

    The most hazardous thing about worship is: We can think we're doing it when, in fact, we are not!

    First Presbyterian Church Wichita Falls, Texas February 13, 2011 THE HAZARDS OF WORSHIP The Glory Due His Name: Part 1 Isaac Butterworth Matthew 15:1-14 (NIV) 1 Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, 2 “Why do your disciples break the ...read more

    Matthew 15:1-20 Which we will follow God or man. The Bible or Additions and Changes of men

    Truth or Tradition? By Steve Keeler Matthew 15:1-20 "Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,"Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders?

  • Walk The Talk

    based on 54 ratings
     | 39,278 views

    So often, there is a huge disparity between what we say, and what we actually do. The Bible makes the connection or links “believing” to “behavior.” The two appear to be inseparable. When we try to divorce these two terms (as they relate to Christianity),

    Title: Walk the Talk Scripture: St. Matthew 15:7-8 So often, there is a huge disparity between what we say, and what we actually do.

    based on 6 ratings

    Christianity has an image problem. What can we learn from how those outside the church see the church today. I use Jesus criticism of religious leaders to cause us to think.

    I have used sermoncentral along with other resources in this message. James White’s Critical Times email was a starting point. I also referred to Kinnaman’s book. LISTENING TO UnCHRISTIAN AMERICA October 28, 2007 Jay Davis Robison MATTHEW 15:1-12 The Church in America HAS AN IMAGE ...read more

    Contributed by David Smith on Nov 7, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,670 views

    Why waste time with negative pepole who are never going to make much progress? Because we follow a shepherd who will leave the ninety-nine grazing to pursue one lost sheep....

    ‘And Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanite woman from the region came out and cried, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely possessed by a demon.”’ (Matthew 15:21-22) One of the most formative experiences in my ...read more
