2876. The True Olympians

Romans 12:1-8

Sermon

Leonard Sweet

... of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island.

2877. Finishing Strong

Philippians 3:12-14

Sermon

Bill Bouknight

... ignore the past, but that’s not what Paul meant. Paul often reviewed God’s blessings over the years, especially how God changed his life on the road to Damascus. Paul is really saying, “GLANCE TOWARD THE PAST BUT DON’T GET LOCKED IN THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR.” Glance back with gratitude, but then face forward. A brief glance toward the past is helpful for two reasons. First, we are reminded that even our worst failures are forgiven. And secondly, the victories we have achieved with God’s help give us ...

2878. The Blessing Of A Godly Mentality

Genesis 18:16-33

Sermon

Bill Bouknight

... beacon of hope for the poor. The Church Health Center and the Christ Community Clinic show the enormous impact that the church and the private sector can have. If church people tithe their incomes, the financial resources will be available. If church people learn to view the city with the eyes of Jesus, the motivation and vision will be available. When you and I meet God face to face and render accountability, he will surely ask us what we did for the least, the lost, the lonely, and the hurting. A ...

2879. The Treasure Principles

Matthew 6:19-24

Sermon

Bill Bouknight

... more about this topic than about heaven and hell combined. (1) Jesus’ statements about money and possessions are profoundly counter-cultural. Let’s look at three principles that Jesus proclaimed. FIRST, GOD OWNS EVERYTHING AND WE ARE HIS MONEY-MANAGERS. That’s not the world’s view at all. The typical Memphian’s attitude is this—“It’s my money. I earned it. And I have the right to spend it however I choose.” But listen to God’s word. First, from Psalm 24. “The earth is the Lord’s and ...

2880. God Knows....Me!

Psalm 8:1-9

Sermon

John E. Harnish

... my location quicker than my WiFi or my cell phone. God knows me better than I know myself. This God is mindful of me. James Crenshaw calls this psalm "the most intriguing psalm of all." He says: Psalm 8 manages to hold together an exalted view of Yahweh's majesty and a high estimate of human beings. Neither detracts from the other, although the psalmist appears to be surprised that Yahweh's awesome splendor does not erase his interest in earthlings. [4] Frankly, the psalmist is befuddled: God, why are you ...

2881. In the Upper Room

John 17

Sermon

John E. Harnish

... to talk radio, just to get my blood pressure up. Just listen to the arrogant, self-righteous rhetoric of most of the religious media these days: critical of anyone who doesn't share their pet positions, degrading other Christians who hold different political views, sure that they are right and everyone else is wrong, and often misrepresenting and misquoting and exaggerating someone else's position in order to show how unchristian they are. In a day when our nation and world are divided by heated political ...

2891. Worship Like A Wesley

Philippians 4:4-9

Sermon

John E. Harnish

... setting. What does it mean today to "worship like a Wesley"? 1. IT BEGINS WITH A LOVE FOR LITURGY, a love for the traditions for the church. True to their Anglican background, both Wesleys died as loyal priests in the Church of England, with a high view of the sacraments, an appreciation for tradition, a love of the liturgy, the beauty and the depth of meaning in the worship experience, and a sense of awe, wonder and dignity in worship. And in our day, when it seems that the growing churches are the ...

2892. Deep Calling to Deep

Ephesians 1:3-14

Sermon

Donald Charles Lacy

... The riches of our faith are priceless and cannot be measured in secular terms. The deep waters are there to be explored unhurriedly. Anyone can take difficult passages, after just becoming thoroughly acquainted with Holy Scripture, and be blessed many times over. In view of the fact large numbers of church members have blocks of time and financial resources, we are brought face-to-face with something quite unpleasant. Well, let's go ahead and ask the question. Are we ignorant of large areas of the spiritual ...

2893. Looking Out for Others

1 Corinthians 8:1-13

Sermon

Donald Charles Lacy

... Summary And Conclusion Knowledge can, in the Pauline sense, be a burden to us and produce an arrogance that alienates our brothers and sisters. We are reminded that love builds up and, sooner or later, everyone benefits. This is frequently not the way the world views people and things. The more degrees and professional experience we have, the more spiritually fruitful we are. Who are we trying to mislead? Love is what carries the day in good times and bad times. There are times Ph.D.s must learn from those ...

2894. Plea for Discipline

1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Sermon

Donald Charles Lacy

... us that even the most dramatic of instantaneous conversions will cool off and lose their effectiveness, unless discipline is implemented. Our relationship with God is always a covenental one that is perhaps best described as a divine/human contract. God forbid that we ever view this as equals negotiating! Our call is to faithfulness. People must be able to see authenticity in it, not only on Sunday mornings but at all times we are being observed. Every day of our lives we are being watched by others and ...

2895. Gift of Positive Thinking

2 Corinthians 1:18-22

Sermon

Donald Charles Lacy

... we learn the dividing line between success and failure can become thin to the place of non-existence. It is a memorable discovery in that we dare not forget the pearl we have found! From a spiritual viewpoint this can be a major turning point in the way we view events and, in particular, people. It finally dawns on us that God decides what is success or failure. While it is humbling, there is a solid positive for all who claim Christ as Savior and Lord. For one thing, we don't have to succeed or fail on our ...

2896. Looking to the Unseen

2 Corinthians 4:18

Sermon

Maurice A. Fetty

... total illusion. It is rather to say that it is transient compared to the abiding reality of the mystery of God. The late scientist, Jacob Bronowski, wrote that earlier in the twentieth century when scientists had primarily a materialistic, mechanistic view of the universe, they presumed they were about to discover the basic particle of existence and thereby explain the ultimate mystery. But each time they approached, said Bronowski, reality, which seemed within their grasp, lurched away into infinity. Once ...

2897. Finding Unity through Christ

Sermon

Richard Gribble

... . Almost by definition, nations separate themselves by placing what they do and how they think above others. This type of thinking is highly destructive to the concept of a world community. We don't seem to see or recognize our need to view all people of the world as our sisters and brothers. In business we all know that competition is keen and central to the capitalism we practice. However, as with nationalism, excessive competitive spirit can lead to greed, unfair business practices, and unlawful methods ...

2898. Make the Most of God’s Gifts

Ephesians 5:15-20

Sermon

Richard Gribble

... polytheism of the pagans but increasingly also from the Jewish community in which he was firmly rooted as a Pharisee. Paul's mission to the Gentiles thus had a certain sense of urgency. Not only was he surrounded by those who opposed his views, but additionally and probably more fundamentally Paul firmly believed that Christ's promised return to claim the world, the Parousia, was imminent. This belief was certainly a major factor in Paul's teaching on marriage and vocation. Convinced that Jesus would soon ...

2899. God Our Protector and Shield

Ephesians 6:10-20

Sermon

Richard Gribble

... him speaking on two weekly radio programs, writing editorials and columns, and traveling the lecture circuit makes an industrious worker today appear as a moderate activist. James Gillis' faith was manifest in his fear of God; it was his shield and protector. His views were at some points out of touch with time and reason, as in his inability to grasp that World Wars I and II had changed America's international role and his refusal to recognize the outrageous tactics of Joseph McCarthy's anti-Communist ...

2900. Living the Word of God

James 1:17-27

Sermon

Richard Gribble

... widespread denial of human rights and to realize that he was considered a member of an inferior race. He felt compelled to respond to this injustice. Thus, he remained in South Africa twenty years and was imprisoned several times for his views and verbal protests. Influenced by the Russian novelist, Leo Tolstoy, and the American essayist, Henry David Thoreau, he developed a system of nonviolent resistance, called satygraha, that became his hallmark. He returned to India and immediately was drawn into the on ...
