326. Casting Out An Evil Spirit

Mark 1:21-28

Sermon

King Duncan

... responsibly in the light of His love. Good religion heals the body. GOOD RELIGION ALSO HEALS THE EMOTIONS. All of us sometimes reach the breaking point emotionally. There is a story about a monastery in Europe perched high on a cliff several hundred feet in the air. The only way to reach the monastery was to be suspended in a basket which was pulled to the top by several monks who pulled and tugged with all their strength. Obviously, the ride up the steep cliff in that basket was terrifying. One tourist got ...

Sermon

King Duncan

... my copilot to taxi the aircraft down the runway. I tell him to give the controls back to me when we are ready to climb into the air. He does just that. He gets the airplane going down the runway at a high rate of speed and then just when we are nearly to ... the controls back to me. I wait and just as soon as he yells, `Good Lord!' I pull back on the controls and lift us into the air." A lot of us get by through life with the help of a few friends and the Good Lord. How does that happen? Where does such faith ...

328. It Makes No Difference Where You Belong

Matthew 15:21-28

Sermon

King Duncan

... about something that happened a long time ago when teachers could talk about religion in the classroom. A teacher was talking to her class of young boys, and she asked, "How many of you would like to go to heaven?" And all the hands instantly shot into the air at once, except one. She was astounded. She asked, "Charlie, you mean you don't want to go to heaven?" He said, "Sure, I want to go to heaven, but not with that bunch." Unfortunately, that is how many religious groups feel about one another. It must ...

329. How Do We Choose?

Acts 1:12-26

Sermon

King Duncan

... on the plane. Of course our friend chose the one that would not open. Now he's falling through the air. Being a good Catholic the young man cries, "St. Francis, please save me." Suddenly a giant hand reaches out of the sky and grabs him by the wrist. ... There he is dangling in the air when he hears a gentle voice coming from the sky, "St. Francis Xavier or St. Francis of Assisi?" Life is full of decisions. There was ...

330. The Secret Of Winning

Isaiah 52:13--53:12

Sermon

King Duncan

... was painted by Michelangelo. This required his lying flat on his back. But that posed a problem, for Michelangelo had a "bad back," and if he lay on it long he suffered excruciating pain. Moreover, he had some kind of nasal obstruction which cut off much of his air supply when he lay on his back. So what? He lay on his back all day, every day, for twenty months. He often slept with his clothes on, so he could go back to work without losing time in dressing. And he painted one of the greatest masterpieces ...

John 10:1-21

King Duncan

... student sits at his desk with a guilty look on his face. On the wall behind him his shadow has its hand raised high in the air to answer the question. Have you ever felt a burden of guilt? It is a heavy burden, indeed. Some of us feel guilty and don't ... of exposure. That fear gnaws at us day and night. Others of us have a deep feeling of regret. In the spring of 1959 an Air Force major entered a Texas mental institution for the second time. He had tried to commit suicide twice, and he had been arrested for ...

332. Surprised On The Mountaintop

Mark 9:2-13

Sermon

King Duncan

... they thought would happen the day they decided to drop everything to follow Jesus. Thus when Jesus called his inner circle, his closest friends, Peter, James, and John, to go with him up the mountain, they were ready to go. Perhaps in the rarefied air their minds would clear. There was no way the disciples could have prepared for what would take place on that particular mountain. They saw a sudden change come over Jesus. He appeared in a brilliant light. As Mark tells it, "His clothes became dazzling white ...

333. Why Are You Troubled?

Luke 24:36-49

Sermon

King Duncan

... if all those destructive thoughts and habits within could somehow be dispelled, then we could handle our circumstances. Then we would be powerful indeed. Dwight L. Moody once demonstrated the principle like this: "Tell me," he said to his audience, "how can I get the air out of the tumbler I have in my hand?" One man said, "Suck it out with a pump." The evangelist replied, "That would create a vacuum and shatter it." Finally, after many futile suggestions, Moody picked up a pitcher and filled the glass with ...

Sermon

King Duncan

... stood just outside of his room looking superior, or so Lindsay thought. One day it was just too much for her, and she took off at top speed from one end of the hall and tackled him as he stood outside his room. The young man went flying in the air, but he came down on top of Lindsay and started flailing away with his fists. He beat her with all his strength, and screamed at her in the foulest language, even though he hadn't said anything for over a year. It was a spectacular scene. The nurses wanted to ...

Hebrews 1:1-14

Sermon

King Duncan

... , was raised by foster parents. His father said that after a stint in jail, judges repeatedly denied him visitation with his son and two daughters. The son, a maintenance repair technician at El Toro Air Station, was at the hospital at nearby Camp Pendleton for a checkup on a knee injury. His father, who served in the Navy and the Air Force, has lived on the northern San Diego County base for about 10 years, working as a security guard. He woke Tuesday with the flu and went to the hospital for treatment. A ...

336. Wouldn't You Prefer Real Freedom?

John 8:31-41

Sermon

King Duncan

... Henrietta Mears knew the secret of real freedom as well. Once, when addressing some young people, she said, "A bird is free in the air. Place a bird in the water and he has lost his liberty. A fish is free in the water, but leave him on the sand ... and is obedient to God's command. This is as natural a realm for God's child as the water is for the fish, or the air for the bird." Have you discovered real freedom in your life? "You shall know the truth," Christ said, "and the truth shall set you free." The ...

337. A Colt Is Not A Horse

Mark 11:1-11

Sermon

King Duncan

... of support as the crowd both leads and follows. At this point Jesus could have done most anything but refuses to use his power for wrong. Jesus knew who he was. That's important for us to see: Jesus knew who he was. I love the story told of the air passenger whose flight had been canceled. His patience was gone, so he shoved his way to the head of the ticket line and angrily demanded a first class ticket on the next available flight. The ticket agent explained that he'd be happy to help, but he'd just have ...

You hopefully make a few friends, and they will ... Hear the words of the Master: "Bring me your heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Why are you anxious? Look at the birds of the air . . . if God cares for them, how much more does he care for you. Let not your hearts be troubled. I have prepared a place for you, ...

339. On Having The Right Attitude

Matthew 13:1-23

Children's Sermon

King Duncan

... ears? At least, they don't have ears like most animals do. So how do snakes hear stuff? Through their tongue. The snake's tongue is very sensitive, and it can feel the slightest vibration of sound waves going through the air. So when a snake flicks its tongue out over and over again, it is "feeling" the sounds in the air around it. That's how a snake "hears" sounds. Aren't you glad we don't hear with our tongues? We'd look pretty silly if we let our tongues hang out of our mouths all the time. We're ...

340. A Devastating Storm, An Incredible Promise

Matthew 18:15-20

Sermon

Brett Blair

... no difference how you think creation was accomplished; blind chance is not a satisfactory explanation. We are not alone. II. Here is where we find strength for our journey in this world. We draw it from the knowledge that God is with us. Of course, we have air to breath and food to eat and water to drink. All these are necessary for life. But they're not enough for abundant life. We need meaning. More than that we need companionship. We need love. We need that which raw matter cannot provide. In the early ...

341. What Are You Tied To?

John 15:1-17

Sermon

King Duncan

... the hole and heave it in. Not a sound comes from the hole. Suddenly, out of the nearby woods, a goat appears, running like the wind. It rushes toward the two men, then right past them, running as fast as its legs will carry it. Suddenly it leaps in the air and into the hole. The two men are astonished with what they've just seen . . . Then, out of the woods comes a farmer who spots the men and ambles over. "Hey . . . you two guys seen my goat out here?" One of the men says, "You bet we did! Craziest thing ...

342. Setting An Example

1 Thessalonians 1:1-10

Children's Sermon

King Duncan

... it. One scent is very pretty and it makes other butterflies want to be near this butterfly. But the other scent is not pretty at all. It stinks. This scent makes other bugs stay away from the butterfly. So the butterfly has two scents it can spread through the air, a nice scent that makes others want to be around it, and a yucky scent that makes others want to stay away from it. You know, we Christians are kind of like butterflies. Just as a butterfly's scent can draw others to it or chase them away, our ...

343. On Forgetting To Do A Business Plan

Luke 14:25-35

Sermon

King Duncan

... long distances. Unlike other birds, who must frantically flap their wings to fly, eagles rely instead on thermals, or columns of hot air, to lift them high into the sky. The eagle just settles into the thermal, spreads its wings, and soars. (5) How long ... ought to do for us. Maybe, in addition to having a dove as a symbol of the Holy Spirit, we ought to have a hot-air balloon. Genuine worship lifts us into the presence of God. And when we are lifted into God’s presence, we receive power and peace and ...

344. People Jesus Loved

Mark 7:31-37

Sermon

King Duncan

... He says that one of the books that inspired him after his devastating injuries was an incredible story titled Reach for the Sky. This book is about Doug Bader, a fighter pilot of World War II. Doug Bader was a gifted young pilot in the British Royal Air Force before World War II. Just before the war, he was involved in a plane crash that changed his life forever. Both of his legs were amputated, and he was discharged from the R.A.F. as "totally disabled." However, as Hitler hammered the blitz through Great ...

345. The Perfect Antidote For Worry

Matthew 6:25-34

Sermon

King Duncan

... Jesus' words from Matthew 6: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?" (NIV) There is an old saying that wherever you see the word "Therefore" in the Bible, it's there for a reason. What came before ...

Sermon

King Duncan

... have allowed unconfessed sin to separate us from God. Newspaper reporter Dennis Hensley once researched a story on pilot training in the Air Force. In these training sessions pilots are warned about "hypoxia," or lack of oxygen to the brain. The pilots are put in a ... simulation chamber that simulates the atmospheric conditions at 30,000 feet in the air. Then, the pilots are told to remove their oxygen masks. Next, they are asked to write out the answers to a few ...

347. Streams Of Living Waters

Psalm 16:1-11

Sermon

King Duncan

... Spirit and truth, for such the Father seeks to worship him. God is spirit, and those that worship him must worship him in spirit and truth." You need not visit a certain mountain or a certain temple to experience God's presence. God is spirit. He is like the air we breathe. He is in us, through us, all about us. There is nowhere that He is not. Could it be that you have restricted God to a certain mountain or temple? There are lots of people who believe that God lives only in a certain building. Perhaps we ...

1 Thessalonians 2:1-16

Sermon

King Duncan

... . I have returned!' "What marvelous news! The months had dragged wearily into two and a half long years since the day the general left behind him the promise to return. Now he was returning amid a thunder of guns, with an armada of ships and an air force such as had never been seen before in the Pacific. "In the meantime, the news filtered through the camp that the enemy, sensing the hopelessness of its own situation, had actually decreed the death of the prisoners. "Among the prisoners was one who had been ...

Romans 5:1-11

Sermon

Edward Inabinet

... all. But one day out on that great wide sea he loved, a gigantic storm came up, perhaps the largest storm he’d ever seen, and the waves tossed that boat back and forth just like a tiny match stick. The waves rose many, many feet in the air. John Newton, out of fear and awe, began to see something of the greatness of God. He marveled at God’s power revealed in the created world. As he thought about how transient his own life was, John Newton saw how insignificant he was before this omnipotent God. John ...
