3151. I Came Back -The Risen Young Man

Sermon

Ron Lavin

... . We never made it to the graveyard because a man named Jesus stopped us. He had a habit of stopping people on their way to wrong destinations. I came back to tell you about this man who stopped my funeral procession. I could tell you about how it feels to die or how it feels the minute after death, but I don't think that would help anyone. If, however, I can tell you about the man who reached out and touched me, you may sense that he is reaching out to touch you, too. He is. After all, you too are ...

Sermon

Ron Lavin

I remember: "I have said all this to you to keep you from falling away ..." Even after what I've done. Yes, hold on. I feel empty ... But I've got to hold on. He said, "Your sorrow will be turned to joy." "Peter, Peter, Satan is trying to get hold of you ...

3153. Nobody - Simon of Cyrene

Sermon

Ron Lavin

... doing the dirty work, even if he was a Jew. White men have rarely been sensitive to the unfair burdens and the crosses that have been put on black backs. Black men have frequently carried the white man's burden. Few have asked about how a black man feels about the burdens that have been placed on him. Few have cared. I was black and available. I was also tall and strong. Weak men have their problems. They can't do as much as their muscular brothers. But we who have been blessed with physical strength have ...

3154. At the Foot of the Cross

Sermon

Ron Lavin

... cursings of a man in the pains of death. At last he can't stand it. He's not so different after all; it just took him longer than the others. These Galileans are tough and they don't feel things like normal people, but at last it has the better of him. At last he will curse us all and I'll feel better when he does." Those were my thoughts in the split second between when his lips first moved and when those unbelievable words were spoken, "Father, forgive them," he said, "for they know not what they do." A ...

3155. Does Love Make You Sorry?

Luke 7:36-50

Sermon

John R. Brokhoff

... . Tears are not something to be ashamed of but to be grateful for. They give us emotional release and express our deepest feelings. In the medieval church there were petitions for "the gift of tears." Lent is a necessary time for tears, for we cannot ... for Jesus. It was her love that caused her tears of penitence, for Jesus described her as one who "loved much." But how does love make you feel sorry and say you are sorry for your sins? It is as simple as this: If we do not love a person, we do not care what ...

John 16:17-33

Sermon

John R. Brokhoff

... fact that he and his wife spent many anxious hours with her when she had a very serious kidney operation. Breaking that relationship by departure brings tears. Isn't it true even with things? We feel sad when we have to sell the house in which we have lived for years. It had become a part of us. Even when we trade cars, we have a sad feeling when we leave the old car at the dealer's. Not even the smell of the new car atones for the at-home-ness we felt in the old car. Isn't it also ...

3157. No Tears for Me, Please

Luke 23:26-43

Sermon

John R. Brokhoff

... as they went to express their love and sympathy, for every normal person appreciates understanding. But Jesus knew tears can be a substitute for something more important. If the world is as bad as it is, it needs more than tears. When things are bad, we moan. We feel sorry for the victims of persecution and violence. This is often seen when we witness a pathetic scene in the movies. We are moved to tears, but when the show is over, we dry our tears and continue on our merry way. One time a movie on Jesus ...

3158. Tears on Easter?

John 20:10-18

Sermon

John R. Brokhoff

... the same question, "Woman, why are you weeping?" Yes, why are you weeping on Easter? It is a day for shouting, laughing, dancing, singing, and - and tears of joy! There are times when feelings are so deep that we do not know whether to laugh or to cry as a way to express a very deep feeling. It happened when the Jews, under Ezra and Nehemiah, returned from fifty years of Babylonian captivity. They had just completed the laying of the foundation of Solomon's temple destroyed by Nebuchednezzar. A biblical ...

3159. He Who Has Ears to Hear, Let Him Hear

Luke 8:1-15

Sermon

Larry Powell

... was accidentally discovered in a secluded place by another member of the cast, carrying a heavy beam of wood over his shoulder, walking back and forth in the dark. When asked the meaning of what he was doing, he replied, "I do this so I can know how it really feels when I come before the thousands of persons who will see me in the play as I carry Christ's cross up Golgotha's hill." That IS impressive. A man so dedicated to his pursuit that he wants to become totally absorbed in it, allow it to be a genuine ...

Ephesians 6:10-20

Sermon

R. E. Lybrand

... s Day," and, I must say that even in 1914, it was long overdue.) Few of us show our mothers the depth of love, honor, and respect that we should. We know we don't, and we feel guilty about it. So on Mother's Day, we try to make up for our failure by giving MOM gifts to symbolize our true feelings of affection and appreciation. We give all sorts of gifts which range from the extravagant to the simple, from store-bought to the homemade, from fancy flowers to fattening foods. We should shower Mother with gifts ...

3162. "Crown Him Lord of all!"

Sermon

William Luoma

... we've never met. Some people seem to easily inspire faith while others cause us to doubt them. There are some people we believe in, for whom we would do almost anything; but there are others for whom we don't wish to lift a finger. We find ourselves feeling cynical and skeptical of them. While battling the Philistines, King David was camped at a place called the Cave of Adullam. He was tired of fighting and was longing for a taste of home. David said, wishing out loud, "O that someone would give me water to ...

Matthew 11:25-30

Children's Sermon

Brett Blair

... and I will give you rest.” God knows that all need rest. So he provided us with a wonderful thing called sleep. But, sometimes we need more than sleep. We need someone to help us make through the day. We are so busy all day and sometimes we feel awful and feel like we just can’t go another step. That’s when Jesus comes into our lives and tells us to stop running so hard and stop worrying so much—just “Stop,” he says, “put it all down. Put down the books, put down the problems, and stop running ...

3164. For What Are We Fishing?

Luke 5:1-11

Illustration

J. Ellsworth Kalas

... our victories are. Andre Thornton, star home-run hitter with the Cleveland Indians and an exemplary Christian, has predicted that there may be a very real religious awakening among athletes as a result of the exorbitant salaries so many are now receiving. He feels that when they find themselves suddenly so financially secure they will realize how little their wealth really means, and will thus be driven to look for deeper values. The truth is, a person can have full nets but still have an empty life ...

3165. The Greatest Commandment

Matthew 22:34-40

Children's Sermon

Brett Blair

... am trying to figure something out. Jesus said we need to love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength. First of all who can tell me about love? What do we do when we love someone? (response) If they answer by describing feelings ask the question again. You have just described feelings of love can you tell me what you DO when you love someone? (response) Now, can you tell what you do when you love God? (response) Maybe this will help: Can you tell me what it means to love God with all your strength ...

Once I was blind, but now I see.” The Pharisees are defeated by this argument and they know it,… so they do what people often do when they feel insecure or have no moral power… they turn to force. They kick him out. They cast him out of the synagogue. They excommunicate him. They push him out. Now, this sets the stage for one of the most beautiful moments in all of scripture. Jesus hears about it ...

James W. Moore

... . He said to himself, “What a terrible son I am! I have caused my dad great pain.” It seemed that was all he could remember after his fathers death—the pain he caused his dad. Finally, the young boy went to see his pastor and told him about the deep feelings of guilt and about breaking his dad’s thumb. The young boy… well, let me tell you in the boy’s own words, he said: I’ll never forget how my pastor handled that. He was so great. He came around the desk with tears in his eyes. He sat ...
