    Requirements? What About Grace?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 15, 2010
     | 5,163 views

    Rearranging Micah 6 shows us that Micah had characterized the religiosity of Judah in ways that are comparable to our religiosity. But justice, compassion, and the humble walk are much more than we expected, and are our responses to grace.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC August 24, 1986 Several years ago I went back to school for work on a graduate degree. Although I had been around schools and colleges and students all of my life, this was the first time in about a dozen years or so that I had actually enrolled in a ...read more

    The sermon explores the concept of being "born anew" through faith in Christ, emphasizing the transformation and immersion into a life resembling Jesus', marked by daily crucifixion and resurrection, ultimately leading to entering the kingdom of God.

    Hello church! I’m so glad to be with you today. I have this bottle of carbonated water with me. I want to use this bottle as an illustration of the incredible love God has for every one of us.

    The sermon emphasizes the importance of obeying Jesus' teachings, despite potential hardships, in order to experience God's presence and provision.

    Hello Church! I have an important “would you rather” question to ask you today, but since it’s kind of a deep question I don’t want to dive right into it. Let’s work up to it. Let’s spend a minute getting warmed up with some easier “would you rather” questions…(These are meant to be light-hearted, ...read more

    Offended By Grace Premium Sermon

     | 417 views

    This sermon explores Jesus' parable of the workers in the vineyard, highlighting the unexpected grace of the landowner and how such grace can either offend or inspire us.

    We’re going to let Jesus be our teacher today by listening to one of his parables about the kingdom of God. Your Bible may have a heading for Matthew 20:1-16 entitled, “The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard,” but I want to point out that this parable is less about the workers in the vineyard ...read more

    We need to pay attention to the condition of our soil, but we also need to spend time daily preparing and sowing.

    Fifteenth Sunday in Course 2014 Seed, Soil, Sower, Rain Today’s OT reading went by so fast that you might forget its importance. That’s not the lector’s fault: the Church gives us only two verses. Let’s listen to the Word of God in the longer version beginning four verses ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 12,337 views

    The ultimate example of humility: the 'self-emptying' of Christ. The obedience of the Cross; the sacrifice accepted. "Let this mind be in you!"

    THE HUMILITY OF CHRIST. Philippians 2:5-11. Jesus placed a little child in the midst of His followers telling them that they had to be like a little child in order to enter the kingdom of heaven. By this one symbolic act He teaches us to accept the kingdom of God with the humility and trust of ...read more

    Paul’s point is that the Holy Spirit is the controlling influence motivating and directing the lives of believers. As we sort through these participles, we can identify at least three results of the Holy Spirit’s influence.

    The Spirit-Filled Life Ephesians 5:15-21 Quick Discussion: What are the two most significant influences on your life? “Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead be filled with the Spirit.” At the heart of this contrast is a life lived under the influence of … those influences, ...read more

     | 480 views

    The sermon explores the challenge of obeying Jesus' commands of love, forgiveness, and mercy, and the role of the Holy Spirit in empowering believers to live out these commands.

    I think we can all admit here today that obedience is difficult. It’s difficult to learn, difficult to teach, and it’s a difficult process to watch play out in the lives of others around us. It’s not something we’re good at, hard wired for, or frankly… enjoy. Once upon a time, there was a young ...read more

    The Bible gives us deep insights into the nature of family relationships. Christ, as the Head of the Church, is also the Head of each Christian family.

    Sermon for CATM - April 22, 2007 “Family Love” - Colossians 3:18-21 As I was reading scripture and preparing a Bible study I was to lead earlier this week, a picture flashed in my mind of all of us in this place on Sundays.

     | 2,410 views

    God has given the gift of His Agape love to believers to be "exercised" in your daily life in Holy Spirit-filled ways.

    “Heart-y Commitments” Romans 12:11-13 In the Western World, so many people eat and exercise to be “Heart Smart”. It is far more important, though, for followers of Jesus to exercise God’s Love than it is to watch what you eat. We looked at Romans 12:9-10 over the ...read more

    Hey church! I’m so glad that you’re here today! It’s so good for us to be together to worship our loving and almighty God who loves us and cares so deeply about us.

    The Highest Kind Of Love

    One day Jesus was eating with his disciples, and he asked this question to Peter, he said; “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”

    Peter responded and said; “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you” (John 21:15). The word love which Jesus included in his question is translated from the Greek Word Agape and it means self giving love, the love which one sacrifices himself in place of another. This love means that you put ...read more
