251. "Preference by L’oreal"

Lk 17:11-19 · Mt 6:25-33 · Jn 6:25-35

Sermon

Peter Rudowski

... to give thanks. Yet as I think about all of the things that we can give thanks for, I notice how quickly we come to only those things that speak to our five senses, the things we can touch, the things that we can taste, the things that we can feel, the things that we can hear. I think of the houses that we have and the heat that provides us with comfort in the winter and the cooling systems that make them bearable in the summer. I think of the houses filled with the smell of turkey this morning, pumpkin ...

252. He Cares for Our Hurts

Revelation 7:17

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... in his new world. When we come to him it may be because we have been sick or injured, or just plain worn out, but the Bible tells us that when we come close to God, he is going to wipe away our tears. He is going to make us feel a lot better. Do you remember that no matter how bad you felt when you were crying, after your mother or father wiped away your tears you were laughing in minutes? I think that is what the Bible is talking about when it mentions that God our Father is going ...

253. Warm

Romans 15:7

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... them answer.] That’s cold, and I guess that all of us have felt that way at least once in our lives. It is an awful feeling, and one that none of us likes. What do you think about when you are that cold? [Let them answer.] I think about warm things so ... off being cold. I like to think about being home in front of the fireplace where there are some logs burning brightly. That’s a warm feeling. Some little girls I know think about a nice fur muff to put their hands in so that they do not get cold. That is a ...

254. Worn Out? Tired? Weary?

Matthew 11:25-30

Sermon

Louis H. Valbracht

... REST that we have for our soul is the REST of one who is redeemed. To the one with the assurance of God’s grace and the saving love of our Lord Jesus Christ, he has felt the terrible burden of guilt removed from his heart and soul. He feels himself cleansed and refreshed, able to go on without the burden, as the Pilgrim in "Pilgrim’s Progress" suddenly felt that agonizing burden that he had been carrying on his back through the long days of his pilgrimage roll from his back as he knelt at the foot of ...

255. And Now For Something Completely Different

Isaiah 43:14-28

Sermon

Frederick C. Edwards

... understood the new equation. What difference does it make when a person is released from the devastating effects of this sinfulness they feel, whether it is the result of the treatment of a psychiatrist or psychologist or a pastoral counselor or some other means. Nor ... , and it may be such as we have never seen before. The part that faith plays in all this is that even before we feel the forgiveness of another person, or are able to forgive ourselves, we are already forgiven by God. "I, I am he who blots out ...

256. Money Madness

Philippians 4:11-13

Children's Sermon

Shirley Jennings

... I could sell them for enough money to buy a soccer ball." (Show the children your empty billfold.) What have you ever wanted but couldn’t buy because you didn’t have enough money? A ball, clothes, shoes. How do you feel when you don’t have enough money to buy something you want very much? That’s how I feel too: sad or mad. Grown-ups sometimes feel sad or mad, too, when they don’t have enough money to buy something they want very much. When you’re sad, do you cry? Do you tell someone why you’re ...

257. A Lack of Feeding in the American Dream

Romans 6:1-14

Sermon

Gregory J. Johanson

... think me loveable. And then of course, the other edge of the sword is that even if I do get the As and you applaude me, I feel that you are only loving the part of me that can produce and not the real me. I am cut off then too. Dr. Treffert lists ... of her dies, and she is reborn to a decision to choose to live with a greater range of freedom and possibilities. Then a young man feels he can never be happy unless he gains some fame. It is part of his guts. He knows he is competent and valuable as an assistant ...

258. Lesson From A Blind Man

Mark 10:46-52

Sermon

King Duncan

... 's outrageous interpretation of adversity. Even Charlie Brown, in the Peanuts cartoons, encountered this. One day Charlie Brown says to Linus, "I feel good. I just got back from the grocery store. Guess what? The owner and his wife both complimented me. They said I ... the answer. He said to the crowd, "This boy is the son of a King in Africa and he can't forget it." (5) I have a feeling that Bartimaeus knew from the day he met Jesus that he was a "Child of the King" and he never forgot it. Thank God for this ...

259. Straight Backs And Rekindled Dreams

Luke 13:10-17

Sermon

King Duncan

... a sense of responsibility. Not that their responsibilities are greater than anyone else's. What weighs them down is a sense of inadequacy to meet those responsibilities. The sad thing is that they are not inadequate. But somewhere along the way they have been made to feel that way, and they go around with the weight of the world on their shoulders. And you can see it in the way they walk--and the way they talk. "œHow're you doing?" [with gloom] "œOh, I'm surviving." We have all seen motivational posters ...

260. He Touched Me

Mark 1:40-45

Sermon

King Duncan

... , a mother of two, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016. She underwent chemotherapy and a double mastectomy, but the cancer returned and spread to her bones. She was given a terminal diagnosis and was told she had only a few months to live. One day, Liz was feeling particularly low and decided to go for a walk. She came across a group of people who were giving out free hugs. Liz was hesitant at first, but then decided to approach them. She was embraced by a stranger who held her for a long time. The hug ...

261. The Divine Family

Genesis 1:1-2:3

Sermon

King Duncan

... at recess and during lunchtime because the taunts of my classmates cut so deeply. "What was worse was going downtown on Saturday afternoon and feeling every eye burning a hole through me. They were all wondering just who my real father was. "When I was about 12 years old ... out early. But one day the preacher said the benediction so fast I got caught and had to walk out with the crowd. I could feel every eye in church on me. Just about the time I got to the door I felt a big hand on my shoulder. I looked ...

262. When the Boat Begins to Sink

Mark 4:35-41

Sermon

David G. Rogne

... without ever passing the thirteenth floor because none was listed. I have been instructed that the proper way to hang a horseshoe over a door is with the opening up, so that all the good luck doesn't pour out. No matter how educated we become, there is a feeling that there may be some forces at work in the world which have a say in what befalls us, and we are concerned about their power. Like those disciples, we too have fears about who, or what, is in control. Fear, of course, is ruinous of life. It robs ...

263. Singing The Lord's Song In A Strange Land (ii)

Psalm 137:1-9

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... , 1973). Yes, we know there are times when we can't sing -- or we think we can't. And it doesn't help us to pretend. Don't lie about it. Be honest. Find someone, or a few persons, with whom you can share. Let them know the emptiness you feel, your pain, your sense of being betrayed. There is someone who will understand and will listen and will stick with you and accept your raging, or your withdrawal, or your questioning silence. So, don't lie about it. Don't try to sing when your singing is going to mock ...

264. The Danger Of Straying From Home (Father's Day)

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... that I share during the marriage ceremony, I talk about married love being a matter of decision. Love is something we do, not something we feel. In the marriage ceremony I don't ask, "George, do you love Mary?" I ask, "George, will you love Mary?" You see, love is something ... much, but I'd gladly give it up to have my son back home." Then he added, "You have a father back home, and I imagine he feels about like I do. Why don't you go back home?" It's a word to all of us who may have strayed: Go home." It's ...

265. You Can't Tell A Book By Its Cover

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... self-pity causes us to misunderstand who we are, and certainly causes us to send the wrong signals to others. It may seem right for us to feel that we have not been given a fair shake and be filled with self-pity, but the end of that is death. Not only death in ... tell a book by its cover. There is a way that seems right, but the end is death. Rehearse now. It may seem right for you to feel that life isn't fair -- and to become so lost in that fact that you give in, either to self-pity or envy. But that way ...

266. Peacemaking and Self Control

Matthew 5:21-26

Sermon

Phil Thrailkill

... of this world. Not forgiveness and reconciliation as an occasional choice but as a settled habit of character. As Vivian Malone said, “I didn’t feel as if I had a choice.” She had lived so long in the faith that forgiveness had become a reflex. If we take the ... then asked, "But if I get rid of my anger, what will I have left?"9 Know anyone like that? I do. With them you feel the energy of anger at all times just below the surface, a volcano about to erupt. It’s their source of energy; the adrenalin ...

267. Two Worlds

Matthew 5:13-16

Sermon

James McCormick

... large an extent, it’s a lost world. Many people have never heard the good news of Jesus. Many who have heard it, have heard a distorted version of it. And many have heard, but have rejected it, and so continue to live less than full lives. So many people feel that they are adrift alone in a small boat with no rudder out there in the midst of a dark and limitless and stormy ocean. The ocean is so large and threatening, and our boat is so small. It’s a confused and frightened world – not at all what God ...

268. What to Wear to the War

Ephesians 6:13-17

Sermon

James Merritt

... that you can get right with God, but Satan will accuse you of sins you've already confessed so that you won't feel right with God. Now when this happens, and it happens to all of us, you must take up the breastplate of righteousness. Now ... or not you are saved, let me give you a piece of advice. Don't look back at a past experience. Don't look at how you used to feel. Don't pull out a baptismal certificate. Pull out the word of God. Just pull out this verse: John 5:24, "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who ...

269. Shame on You

1 Timothy 1:12-17

Sermon

Leonard Sweet

... But Paul was not overcome by this guilt. He was not paralyzed by his shame. He used his guilt as a goad - as a reminder of what he needed to make up for. And he used his own lowliness as a foil to help him elevate Christ before others. Feeling a sense of shame for our environmental mess, the on-going horror of hunger and homelessness, and the pornography of violence is only the first, most basic step we need to take in our own moral rehabilitation. While no one person can rectify all those evils, there are ...

270. A Burden or a Song

Matthew 5:43-48

Sermon

James McCormick

... we first become aware of God, He is God the enemy. He is the one who lays on us all the rules, the responsibilities, the obligations. We sense that God is not for us – in fact, if we don’t measure up, He will punish us. At the feeling level, that feels like an enemy no matter how much we talk about God’s love. And so many people never get past that stage. Even though they would never say it and perhaps are never consciously aware of it, God is experienced as the enemy and religion is a huge weight ...

271. It’s All About Him

John 4:19-24

Sermon

James Merritt

... the worship you experience at Cross Pointe. But worship is not primarily for what you can get out of it; worship is primarily for what you can put into it and what He can get out of it. It's all about Him! True worship is not a matter of feelings it is a matter of focus. III. Be Faithful In The Way You Worship Now we are really going to get down to the "brass tacks." Jesus summarizes worship in a simple statement that tells us the only two requirements God ever gives for worship, and amazingly not one word ...

272. A Pair of Ducks and Abundant Life

Mark 8:31--9:1

Sermon

King Duncan

... you save eventually will be lost. That’s also true about relationships. The saddest words we hear at a funeral are: I wish I had done more for him or her while there was time. Now some of that grows out of a sense of guilt that all of us feel when we lose someone close. And often we do not need that guilt because we had a wonderful relationship with the person who has gone. But there is also that element of truth that we have so much that we could give away our love, our friendship, our time. Anything ...

273. As Seen from the Solitary Broom Tree

1 Kings 19:1-18

Sermon

Stan Purdum

... her prophets, Elijah hightails it out of the area. Then, when he is safely away, all his energy leaves him, and he begins to feel sorry for himself. He has had it with being a prophet and he wants to resign his commission. He is burned out. Now in ... and to starting looking out for others. In the end, that may be the best thing that we learn from this biblical story — that when we feel all used up, then it is time to take the focus off of ourselves. Or as I once heard it worded, "When you dig another ...

274. In the Lions' Den (Dealing with Stress)

Psalm 16:1-11

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... point.” Kirby - sixteen, tall, pretty, and two weeks out of modeling school, was the passenger on a motorcycle, when the cycle collided with a car. She was thrown into a brick wall and her back was broken in the lower lumbar vertebra. She had no feeling below her waist. Although she can’t remember anything now, Kirby never lost consciousness at the scene of the accident or even during the seven days in intensive care. She does have wide-eyed singing memories of 105 days in the hospital and several long ...

275. A Parable in a Miracle

Mark 1:40-45

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... mean, here we are in church doing our religious thing. My hunch is, however, that more of you know the name Charlie Daniels than Will Campbell. I don’t have time to talk about what that means, either for you or the church. Again, though, don’t feel bad if you know the secular man, but not the religious one. If you sense some guilt about that, I absolve you. Will Campbell is a sort of renegade Baptist preacher. He calls himself a “steeple dropout”. He’s a preacher without a pulpit, but people come ...
