    based on 34 ratings

    Introduction 1.

    Introduction 1. As we began worship today we heard the children sing Hosanna. As we read the liturgy for baptism and as the vows were made, we too said "hosanna." And as we read God’s word we heard both the people along the road into Jerusalem and the apostle Paul cry out "Hosanna!" 2. Some of ...read more

    Are you having a marvelous day?

    Who Made Your Day? "Go ahead, make my day!" Dirty Harry loved to say this and in his case, his day was made by punks who felt lucky and ended up dead by the world’s most powerful handgun. We have appropriated the phrase and use it for different things. Let someone bring more stuff to dump in ...read more

    Contrasts the notion of Christ as foundation with Christ as Capstone, leading us up towards God.

    Sermon: 28th March 1999 (My very first sermon before beginning at Theological College) "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord’s doing, and it is amazing in our eyes"?

    Como hijos de Dios siempre queremos servirle lo mejor, pero en la mayoria de los casos solo queda en buenas intenciones. Esto desagrada a Dios porque nuestro supuesto servicio queda en desobediencia.

    Entre las formas de agradecimiento al Señor nuestro Dios, está nuestro servicio en su obra.Desde luego este servicio queremos que sea el mejor que podamos darle. Para esto lo planeamos y aún nos proponemos con gran entusiasmo, pero en la mayoria de los casos solo queda en buenas intenciones. El ...read more

    This sermon is about how our words match our actions when it comes to obedience to the will of God.

    BY WHAT AUTHORITY Text: Matthew 21:23-32 I once heard the story about a young man who wanted a custom paint job on his car. He wanted the car to be two different colors. He wanted the whole right side to be one color and the left another color. When asked why he wanted his car ...read more

    Even Johnnie Cochran couldn’t get a jury to enter a ’not guilty verdict’ for a person who never accepts Christ.

    MATTHEW 21:23-32 “What the Road to Hell Is Paved With” By: Rev.

    Doing the will of God, even though not exactly as quickly as God had hoped, is still better than saying we will and never getting around to it.

    19 Pentecost A Matthew 21:23-32 29 September 2002 Rev. Roger Haugen Do you remember what happened 30 years ago this week? 1972. Does the name Paul Henderson help out?

    This is a sermon with a strong call to stewardship as a response to God’s eternal love. This includes prayer, presence, gifts, and service as well as how we live our lives.

    Paonia United Methodist Church October 9, 2002 Rev. John Nadasi Matthew 21:33-46 The parallels are clear. The Pharisees knew he was talking about them. They had been given a vineyard to work in.

    Would You Too Reject Him?

    Contributed by John Herrmann on Oct 4, 2002
    based on 44 ratings
     | 5,829 views

    In the parable of the vineyard and the "rejected cornerstone of Christ", we see how an ever near and patient God reveals himself in Creation and redemption -- working through the Holy Spirit to keep us from rejecting him.

    It would seem the vineyard image is appropriate for this time of year. I’ve read that the Napa Valley is expecting a great crush this year. In Amador County, here in California, there is weekend tasting and festivities in honor of the harvest vintage. Maybe some of our people are there right ...read more

    Bearing Fruit

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 8, 2002
    based on 74 ratings
     | 26,315 views

    What happens when Jesus inspects your life? He cursed the fig tree because it didn’t bear fruit - why? And how do we bear fruit for our Savior?

    I have three fruit trees in my backyard. I would not call it an orchard – just three trees – a plum, a pear, and an apple. It’s not an orchard, nor am I an orchardist – or whatever you are when you have an orchard. I think my trees know it too – they get together every winter and say "how are we ...read more

    The Wicked Tenants

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 12, 2002
    based on 119 ratings
     | 13,152 views

    The Biblical metaphor of Jesus being the cornerstone which the builders rejected conveys the understanding that without Jesus we can do nothing (John 15:5).

    THE WICKED TENANTS Text: Matthew 21:33-46 In modern day, we tend to think of a cornerstone as a stone that is inscribed and placed in the corner of the foundation of a building that marks the beginning of the building. The way that the Bible uses the word cornerstone means much more than ...read more

    God has spoken to us repeatedly and in various ways, but supremely in His Son. How do we respond?

    God has spoken! Can you imagine how you would feel if you got a letter from the Queen? (I mean a real one, not just some standard letter sent by her officials.) How would you treat it? Would you throw it idly aside? Would you risk it getting lost or stained with tea? I don’t think so! You would ...read more

    Jesus' Classroom

     | 14,835 views

    Jesus taught some very important lessons about Christian character near the end of his life. Here are three of them.

    Last week we saw Jesus coming into Jerusalem in the “Triumphal Entry.” Remember the scene...Jesus on the back of a donkey. People lining the streets with palm branches. Hosanna, Hosanna! This week the scene changes. It’s no longer an exciting street lined with people. Now it is a classroom. ...read more
