    Out Of The Mouth

    Contributed by Steve Gladwell on Jul 28, 2002

    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

    Guess who’s come for a visit? It’s the big whigs from denominational headquarters. Isn’t it sad that Jesus had more problems w/ the religious than the lost? They made it all an outward matter and not an inward experience. Link inc. to text, audio, and Ppt

    Be concerned with the heart, not with rules of society. Don’t worry about things that really don’t matter

    Matthew 15: 1- 2, 10 – 20 “Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus saying, ‘Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.’” Then He called the multitude and said to them, “Hear and understand: Not ...read more

     | 14,503 views

    True seekers of God are people of character, compassion and conviction. Character is WHO you are, and it is a choice we make.

    I want to start on a series entitled TRUE SEEKERS and touch on 3 aspects of being true seekers of God – what really defines a godly Christian. • I want to share on these 3 areas: (1) character, (2) compassion, and (3) conviction. • I call them the qualities of Christianity – that which set us ...read more

    Tradition And The Tongue

    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,562 views

    Jesus is not interested in rules which people can point to as the outward manifestation of some arbitrary rule-driven form of righteousness. He is interested in the heart.

    There are many traditions in the world. One of those traditions is to have a liturgical calendar and today, May 27 happens to be the Day of Pentecost. It is the day of the birth of the church, fifty days after the Passover. And that was the day according to Jewish tradition that Moses received ...read more

    In The Dark

    Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Oct 17, 2011
     | 7,551 views

    The old joke is Where were you when the lights went out?" This sermon uses the lights going out when Jesus was on the cross and leads the listener to examine... Where are you... in your relationship with Jesus?

    In the Dark! Mark 15:12-37 It was a hot night in the middle of summer in 1977. The Big Apple was abuzz with excitement and life of a mega city. Bars were filled; movies and theaters were in the middle of the story. Life went on like usual. But then it happened... or should I say, then it ...read more

    Radical In A Big Way

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Aug 11, 2011
    based on 8 ratings
     | 8,060 views

    The Canaanite woman is the first woman that Jesus ministered to outside of the nation of Israel. The humble woman's story is hugely radical because Jesus' ministry to the entire world starts with her!

    When preparing sermons, sometimes I chose a passage because it is one of my favorites. Other times, I chose a passage because it is a commonly used or quoted passage, and I feel like it's good for all of us to delve into those readings more deeply. Sometimes I chose a Scripture reading because it ...read more

    Breaking The Law...for God's Sake

    Matthew 15: 10-20 - Barclay stated that this Scripture was 'one of the supreme contests in history'. Two religious viewpoints clash with what Jesus says. Jesus again points to what is really important.

    Good morning. Laws are important in any society in order to keep peace and order. But there are laws and then there are laws. Here are some laws that are still on the books in our state of Kansas. • In Derby, it is illegal to hit a vending machine that stole your money. • In Dodge ...read more

    CHANGE is one of the hardest things a church or a person can do, BUTIt is something God wants from us. No Growth occurs without change.

    CHALLENGE TO CHANGE All my sermons use illustrations found on www.sermoncentral.com and ALL scripture is NIV unless noted otherwise) I once heard that God loves us just the way we are, BUT He refuses to let us stay that way.

    God's Word Or Ours?

    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
