Luke 2:41-52

Sermon

King Duncan

... and the lowly. How will they handle life when they are struggling to survive in one of life's terrible storms? It will be by the sweet assurance down in their subconscious that Jesus calmed the storm. What about those cold, lonely nights when they feel like nobody cares for them? They'll remember that God's eye is on the sparrow, and that they are of much more value than a sparrow. And when one of their life's dreams is destroyed, how will they make it through? A voice from within them will say, "Neither ...

1 Kings 19:1-8

Sermon

King Duncan

... to Gideon, "Arise and go in this thy might." An angel says to Elijah, "Arise and eat." An angel appears to Joseph in a dream, when Herod is slaughtering the infants, and says, "Go quickly." An angel appears to Philip and says, "Arise and go." "Listen carefully," writes Halford Luccock, "and you can hear the voice of angels above the contemporary din of the world, a voice that ought to get us out of lounge chairs and comfortable beds. `Arise, go quickly!'" * Elijah wanted to throw a Pity Party, but the angel ...

3103. Responding Instead Of Reacting

Jeremiah 28:1-17

Sermon

Dr. B. Bruce Humphrey

... Jeremiah knew the message was wrong. He couldn't put his finger on it at first, but he knew something was wrong. He needed to go home to think about it and pray about it in order to clarify God's will for that situation. We also need to be careful not to be too gullible just because someone uses the right words and sounds convincing. In the 1930s, a politician in Germany used all the right phrases. He spoke about "God and country." He spoke about God being "on our side, so let's get this nation going again ...

3104. Setting The Record Straight

Luke 20:27-40

Sermon

King Duncan

... absurd," objected Milo. "That may be true," he acknowledged, "but it's completely accurate, and as long as the answer is right, who cares if the question is wrong? If you want sense you'll have to make it yourself." (1) The Sadducees' question was that kind ... mountains beside a pale blue coral sea under the continuous sun, we naturally say, `Oh, no thanks, it's too much, really, I don't care for it, just give me some ice, please.'" (4) All of us will be a little like that. Heaven will be far more wonderful ...

Sermon

Dr. Chane M. Hutton

... the spirit of the Lord. He said before he knew it he was rejoicing. This continued until he said he was filled with joy. The love, care, and presence of the Lord made him feel as joyful as he had ever felt before. He said that before he realized it he was ... a loved one, senseless killings and other horrible things that happen in this life. However, we can give thanks for God's comfort, care and love in the midst of those experiences. We can be thankful for His presence when something bad happens to us or to ...

3106. Learning From A Little Child

Isaiah 35:1-10

Sermon

Eric Ritz

... out to the next engagement. The mother tried to interest her in the newest toy she had brought. Through tears the child cried, "Mommy, I want you!" That is our greatest need, too, isn't it? We want God. We want to know that God lives and that God cares and that God is with us. Immanuel! Mark Connelly in his classic play, GREEN PASTURES, has the angel Gabriel walk on the stage with his horn under his arm, and approach the Lord who is in deep thought. God is troubled about what is happening among his people ...

Matthew 1:18-25

Sermon

Wayne Brouwer

... was GRAND CANYON. Kevin Kline plays a businessman in Los Angeles who's trying to figure out what his life means. And one day something happens to him that seems to say that his life matters, that there's a purpose to his existence, that Someone out there cares about him. He's walking down a street, worried and troubled, and he steps out from the corner without thinking. Right in front of a madly rushing city bus! He doesn't have a chance! No time to react! But someone grabs his jacket from behind, and yanks ...

3108. Pax Augusta, Pax Christi

Luke 2:1-7

Sermon

Wayne Brouwer

... his dukes up, and his arms bared for a good fight! Send us a turbo-charged engine, in our competitive banters. You know: "The Force be with you!" But what does this God of strange surprises do? He sends a baby! A helpless little baby! It can't even take care of itself. It would die without the tender caress of a mother! We look for the big gifts in the big boxes! We look for power and might! We look for something that would turn the world upside down! And then silly God goes and does something like this ...

3109. When God Speaks

Genesis 12:1-8

Sermon

King Duncan

... to Randy and sat on his lap and said, "Have you prayed to Jesus that you'll get your boots back and that God will take care of your problems with money? Mom and Dad said that's why you're sad today." When a four-year-old asks you to pray ... them to mean that God was very close to us ” that we were in the center of God's will. Of course, we must be careful here. There is no way of knowing such things for sure. People have done foolish things ” sometimes horrible things ” because they interpreted an event ...

3110. A Reason For Living

Philippians 1:12-30

Sermon

King Duncan

... rice and corn, all stored in great burlap sacks. Each buyer brought his or her own container, some kind of a tin cup, and when a purchase was made, the vendors heaped their product into the can until it was literally overflowing. In Africa, goods are sold not by careful weights and measures but heaped up, pressed down and running over, as Jesus wants his life in us to be. (6) If survival is all you are looking for, don't waste time with Jesus. But if you want life that is pressed down, heaped up and running ...

3111. Rejected

Matthew 21:33-46

Sermon

King Duncan

... to find out, without asking, if the woman he was courting would marry him, he would place a "courting mirror," face upward, on a table in front of his sweetheart, after first looking into it himself and presumably leaving his own likeness in it. If the young woman cared to accept him, she would pick up the mirror and smile at his likeness which she was supposed to see there. But if she did not want him, she simply turned the mirror down and with it, his face. (3) Have you ever been "turned down"? Most of ...

3112. How Do You Get To Heaven?

1 Thessalonians 4:13--5:11

Sermon

King Duncan

... , about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve, as do those who have no hope . . . ." The words "no hope" scholars tell us, reflect a common Greco-Roman view that there is no resurrection. A Latin tomb inscription reads: "I was not; I was; I am not; I care not." (4) There is a Christian and a pagan way of dealing with death. St. Paul does not tell us not to grieve. Grieving is the most natural of all human emotions. But we do not grieve as those who have no hope. HOPE IS THE CHRISTIAN'S WAY OF ...

3113. Pardon Me, But Do You Know God?

Jeremiah 30:1--31:40

Sermon

King Duncan

... felt around in a semicircle he discovered he had stopped on the edge of the abandoned limestone quarry one step before a fatal plunge into the deep. Out there in the desolate moor someone knew him and someone cared. Peter Marshall never forgot that. Dedicating his life to the One who'd called him by name, he became one of America's greatest ministers. (1) Peter Marshall's faith was no dusty relic inherited from his parents. It was vibrant, real, and utterly compelling. Peter Marshall knew God. THERE ...

3114. Searching For Saints

Matthew 5:1-12

Sermon

King Duncan

... , we might sigh and say, "It's a mystery," Charlie Brown. "What is a saint anyway?" And Charlie Brown might answer: "Well, a saint is someone who is kind, doesn't smoke, is prompt, smiles a lot, eats sensibly, avoids cavities and marks their ballot carefully . . . Avoids too much sun. Sends overseas packages early. Loves all creatures above and below . . ." Is that your definition of a saint a nice person who abides by all the rules? Francis of Assisi bears the title of Saint but according to Mark Galli, in ...

3115. Come Home For New Year's

Jeremiah 30:1--31:40

Sermon

King Duncan

... the newspapers recently about homing pigeons. Tom Murphy, a trainer in Pittsburgh, PA. suffered a broken shoulder that left him unable to care for his 30 pigeons. So he sold them. Two of the birds were transported to Texas. Both of them escaped from ... in weeping and repentance they will return to their homeland and to their God, and God will overwhelm them with abundant provision and care.

Jeremiah 30:1--31:40

Children's Sermon

King Duncan

... to clean a portion of the silver). Just like it's brand new. Our Bible story today is about making things new again, too. In our Bible story, the people of Israel have stopped paying attention to God. They are not following His commandments. They care about other things more than they care about God. They start to sin more and more, and their sins are making their lives dirty, just like this silver got all dirty. But God says that if the people of Israel will come back to Him, and tell Him that they're ...

3117. Washing Away The Junk

Luke 3:21-22

Sermon

King Duncan

... they began to ask this same question about the rest of the family. "Does Mommy have a piece of God?" "Yes," they answered, laughing. "Does Matt have a piece of God?" they asked about his older brother. "Yes." O'Brien knew that Chris attended a day care center with a little girl named Mary who was so spoiled she made the people around her miserable. He said, "You know, even Mary has a piece of God." Chris looked stunned, and then he said emphatically, "No, not Mary." When his father insisted Chris said ...

3118. A Colt Is Not A Horse

Mark 11:1-11

Sermon

King Duncan

... 90 miles from the Galilee to Bethany and then secure a donkey for the final two miles to Jerusalem? If you're going to borrow a donkey shouldn't you borrow one which comes with unlimited mileage? Jesus' feet weren't tired. Instead, he was carefully planning his entry into Jerusalem by observing every nuance of the Biblical understanding of who the Messiah was. Jesus fulfilled Zechariah 9:9: " . . . your king comes to you: triumphant and victorious is he, humble and riding on a colt, the foal of a donkey ...

3119. Peace, Blessed Peace

John 14:15-31

Sermon

King Duncan

... for insufficiently supporting his programs. Pastor Martin Niemoller explained that he was concerned only for the welfare of the church and of the German people. Hitler snapped, "You confine yourself to the church. I'll take care of the German people." Niemoller replied, "You said, ˜I will take care of the German people.' But we too, as Christians and churchmen, have a responsibility toward the German people. That responsibility was entrusted to us by God, and neither you nor anyone in this world has the ...

3121. Busybodies

Luke 13:10-17

Sermon

King Duncan

... Jesus established a principle that needs to be engraved on your heart and mine: RULES AND REGULATIONS ARE IMPORTANT. BUT THE ONLY THING THAT REALLY MATTERS TO GOD IS PEOPLE. Do you hear what I am saying? It is the message of the Gospel. The only thing God really cares about is people. Not rules. Not laws. People. The reason God gave us laws was for our benefit. This is the way to live life to the fullest, follow these rules. But what if we break one of the rules? What if we do something downright stupid? It ...

3122. Are You Available?

Luke 14:25-35

Sermon

King Duncan

... Then he answered his own question: He pointed to his disciples. "Look!" he said, "these are my mother and brothers." Then he added, "Anyone who obeys my Father in heaven is my brother, sister and mother!" (Matthew 12: 4850 The Living Bible) Did Jesus not care about his mother and brothers? Yes, he cared, but he could not let his love for them keep him from his mission. Do you not think that he was tempted as the shadows of the cross grew darker about him to leave it all and go back to the security of hearth ...

3123. On Being Picked For The "Rework"

Jeremiah 18:1--19:15

Sermon

King Duncan

... vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make it." Now, in Jeremiah's time (about 700 years before Jesus was born) there were no chocolate factories. For him, the potter at the wheel was the most uptodate visual object lesson he could use to illustrate how carefully God plans and works with his people. The potter's workshop was a familiar, everyday sight for the people of Jeremiah's time. Most of us have seen a potter making a vessel out of clay as the wheel holding the clay spins. But this is something ...

Luke 16:1-15

Sermon

King Duncan

... in the neighborhood again. But he doesn't do that either! In fact, this Fortune 500 tycoon seems to be a rather caring gentleman.

If Mr. Rich takes away the blessings they've just received, he'll look stingy and greedy. It'll seem like he cares more for his wealth than he does for his people.

Luke 18:1-8

Sermon

King Duncan

... about men." Yet this poor widow kept coming to him day after day with her plea. For some time he refused even to listen to her. But finally he said to himself, "Even though I don't fear God or care about men, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!" (NIV) The widow was the epitome of "helplessness and defenseless." Justice then, like now, was often for the rich or wellconnected, and ...
