3701. Humility You Can Be Proud Of

Micah 6:1-8

Sermon

King Duncan

... Roper Hospital running. It's ironic, isn't it? For 8 years Dan Dyer faithfully performed functions vital to a large hospital, but until a crisis occurred, the other hospital personnel didn't have a clue as to who he was. (3) Some of you know how it feels. We have people in this church who work behind the scenes just like Dan Dyer. These backstage people keep our church running. They work in our nursery, they work with our children and youth, they count our money and arrange the flowers on our altar. What if ...

Luke 24:13-35

Sermon

King Duncan

... in my heart!" (6) Ben Weir, the Presbyterian missionary who was for so long a hostage in Lebanon, speaks movingly about worshiping while in captivity. Every Saturday night, he saved a piece of bread from dinner, and on Sunday morning he would eat that piece of bread and feel greatly moved by the sense of communing with God's people all over the world. Even in prison, the bread brought him into the presence of the Lord. (7) So what do you do when the world assaults you with bad news? What do you do when you ...

King Duncan

... never turned back. (5) Why am I here in your church today? Maybe there's someone here who is heading down the wrong road, and you feel powerless to turn back. I'm here to tell you there is Someone who can help you make that turn. Or maybe there is someone ... a church. You are such an attractive group. Certainly you are a credit to your community. But there are some people who may feel shut out. Maybe because of their economic status, or their skin color, or because of a life style they have acquired. Let me ...

3704. Fear Of Flying

Matthew 10:1-42

Sermon

King Duncan

... this as a problem in our lives, really it is. For some of us, the problem is our own guilt. Guilt over our own sins keeps us from trusting God. Guilt is responsible for more anxiety than any of us may imagine. "I don't feel guilty," we cry out. But still we are uneasy. Still we feel unworthy. Still we are afraid. We need to know ourselves forgiven by a God who loves us with an unimaginable love. Listen again to Jesus' words: "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And yet not one of them will fall to the ...

3705. A Prize Is Waiting For You!

Matthew 13:44-46

Sermon

King Duncan

... a lot of hurting, shattered people in this world for whom help is at hand if they only knew it. The treasure is just waiting to be discovered. NOTICE, SECONDLY, THAT THIS TREASURE BRINGS THE FINDER GREAT JOY. How would you feel if Ed McMahon knocked on your door? Then you know how it would feel to receive the Kingdom into your life. When Jesus talked about the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of heaven (the two terms are interchangeable), he was talking about the reign of God in human hearts. And the natural ...

Sermon

King Duncan

... wounds on the girl's back and blood in her mouth, police officials said. A newspaper quoted her mother as saying she did not feel guilty about her daughter's death because it was the result of "the teachings of the group's leader and his wife." "I am ... a somewhat puzzled expression, replied, "I don't know what you're talking about. A little old lady in a back row of the church made me feel so much at home by telling me how much she missed me when I wasn't there. That's why I made this church my home." (7) ...

3707. The Forgiven

Hebrews 10:1-18

Sermon

King Duncan

... not cause that kind of forgiveness for a man who had killed your loved ones, only the prayers of forgiveness could accomplish that miracle. (4) Forgiveness is serious business. Only an experience of the Grace of God can deliver us from the feelings of anger and resentment we may feel toward another. I have an important reason for dealing with this subject today. Soon, we will be entering the holiday season. Christmas is not only a time of joy. It can also be a time of dredging up old hurts. Denis Rainey ...

3708. Internal Medicine

Matthew 6:16-18

Sermon

King Duncan

... but a punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins . . . Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self sufficient to feel the necessity, and too proud to pray to the God that made us. And the people of the United States humbled themselves ... TO ME THAN JUST MY APPETITES! Now that sounds so easy to say, doesn't it?! But in our consumer-oriented society, it has a very tough feel about it. A young man is forced to drive the family car on a date. It's rusted in spots. And it's got 150,000 ...

3709. Don't Forget Your Ticket

2 Corinthians 5:11--6:2, Luke 14:15-24

Sermon

King Duncan

... last minute. The good news is that enough of the "street people" accepted the invitation to fill the banquet hall. The bad news is that no doubt many of them didn't accept the invitation because they felt that they were just not worthy. It's sad when people feel unworthy to experience God's grace. Just think of all the blessings of God that we miss because of our lack of selfesteem or because we are so ashamed of our past disobedience to God. And here is where our text helps us. Here is the great truth we ...

John 20:19-23

Sermon

King Duncan

... name of the interpreter, Nagase Takashi. Takashi had spent the years since the war doing good for his fellow man. He had built a Buddhist temple of peace to atone for his crimes during the war, and he involved himself in many charities. But Eric Lomax could feel no mercy for Nagase Takashi. In 1989, a friend passed on to Eric an article from a Japanese newspaper about Takashi. The article portrayed an old man who had spent much of his postwar life doing good deeds, in the hopes of atoning for his treatment ...

3711. Well . . . I Was A Little Confused

John 16:5-16

Sermon

King Duncan

... of the most inept plays in the annals of baseball. I'm sure when the hitter was confronted by the manager, he probably said something like, "Well. I just got confused . . ." MODERN LIFE IS CONFUSING. Have you noticed that? Many of us spend our lives feeling confused. The world is changing so fast. A computer specialist in a hightech company was required to wear a pager all the time. This beeper was to ensure that he would be available immediately for hardware or software problems. But this poor fellow got ...

Luke 9:51-62

Children's Sermon

King Duncan

... or make them mad. Then they stop loving other people. Their love for others burns out very quickly, just like the sticks lose their fire quickly. But a coal Christian would be someone who loves other people, even if those other people are mean to them or hurt their feelings. A coal Christian loves people, even if those people don't love them back. That's a long-lasting kind of love. That is the kind of love that God has for us. And so that's the kind of love God wants us to have for other people. Will ...

Luke 14:25-35

Sermon

King Duncan

... , but my friend here wants me to ask you if you brushed your teeth this morning." When the man noticed the girl, he realized that her question was innocent enough, and he answered that yes, he had brushed his teeth that morning. With a sinking feeling, Milton realized where this was going. Next, the girl urged him to ask the stranger if he smoked. Milton and the man went through the second question. And sure enough, the girl wanted Milton to ask the third question: did this man love Jesus? Milton protested ...

3714. Entitlements

Luke 16:19-31

Sermon

King Duncan

... children of the rich, Coles said, tend to answer the same question: "I'm going to be a doctor." "I'm going to be a nuclear physicist." The implication here is: "Whatever I want, I'll get." Along with that sense of feeling everything is possible for them, may go the feeling that they are entitled to take personal credit for things they get only because of their money and connections. It may remind us of that devastating barb hurled by Ann Richards at George Bush at the Democratic convention years ago: "He ...

2 Timothy 3:10--4:8

Sermon

King Duncan

... promise we'd be leading at the half," Barbara tells people, "but only that we would win the game!" (3) What a grand message for anyone feeling like a human piÃ±ata.

Children's Sermon

King Duncan

... nourishes the skin and helps it to heal faster. So next time you cut yourself, be sure to put a BandAid over the cut, because it will help you to heal faster. You know, sometimes we can go through really sad times. We might feel sad or lonely or confused or angry. But God can heal our feelings. God doesn't want us to be sad. God wants to pour out His love on our hurt places and help us heal, just like a BandAid helps to cover and heal a cut. Most cuts don't heal right away. It takes some ...

Philippians 4:11-13

Children's Sermon

King Duncan

... do that? The stuff inside the tree trunk can handle all kinds of pressure and still hold up its shape. Most trees aren't like that, but the palm tree is. You know, sometimes we can feel like a tree caught in rough winds. Just like really strong winds blow a tree around and put it under pressure, problems can come along and make us feel like we are under pressure, too. But the Bible says that if we have faith in God, we can be like the palm tree. No matter what problems come along, we will not break. Our ...

3718. Is Suffering Really Necessary?

Hebrews 4:14-5:10

Sermon

King Duncan

... persons can scratch an itch, squeeze an aching muscle, or flex a cramped foot. The paralyzed must lie still, defenseless, and feel the pain. Cindy, one of Joni's closest friends, was beside her bed, searching desperately for some way to encourage her. Finally, ... she clumsily blurted out, "Joni, Jesus knows how you feel--you aren't the only one--why, he was paralyzed too." Joni glared at her. "What? What are you talking about?" Cindy ...

John 20:19-31

Sermon

King Duncan

... miracles besides the ones told about in this book, but these are recorded so that you will believe that he is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that believing in him you will have life." (v. 31, LB) JESUS DID MANY OTHER MIRACLES. How do you feel about miracles? Do you look for miracles in your own life? Do you believe that real miracles are restricted to Bible times? What would you consider a genuine miracle? If you saw a genuine miracle, would it increase your faith? If your faith was increased, how would ...

3720. The Gift Of Freedom

1 Peter 1:13-2:3

Sermon

Landon Winstead

... he said: "Let Go, Let God." Some of us are prisoners because we cannot let go. Whatever the circumstance, we must be in control, which is frustrating, because it is impossible. We live in a society where we are not free. At least we do not feel free. We feel driven and we drive ourselves to states of anxiety because we cannot let go. We tense up and grind our teeth over things we cannot control. And this brings us to the central truth of today's lesson. ULTIMATE FREEDOM COMES FROM CHRIST. The early churches ...

3721. Where Is Your Heart?

Luke 12:22-34

Sermon

King Duncan

... ) That is no great secret. We work harder at tasks we enjoy. My wish is that everyone in this room could be in a job that is meaningful for you. It must be awful to hate what you do, yet to feel locked in. Unfortunately, not everybody can be in a satisfying line of work. But many people do feel passionate about their work. Don Dwyer, in his book, Target Success, says that the first quality he looks for when he selects an employee is passion. Once upon a time, when he needed to hire someone for his newspaper ...

3722. Don't Look Down

Matthew 14:22-36

Children's Sermon

King Duncan

... disciples were with Jesus, they weren't afraid either. They knew everything would be okay with Him there. Sometimes we may feel like we have storms in our life. When we just had a fight with a friend, when we did something we know we shouldn't have done, when ... we said something that made our mommy or daddy mad that can make us feel all scared and confused just like a thunderstorm. But we don't have to be afraid. Jesus is always with us. Just like our parents ...

3723. A Birthday Celebration

Luke 2:1-7

Sermon

King Duncan

... transfer us to the status of sons and daughters. Or as John put it: "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." (NIV) No wonder we feel a need to celebrate. Happy birthday, Jesus. Did you know, by the way, that "Happy Birthday" was one of the first songs performed in outer space? It was sung by the Apollo IX astronauts on March 8, 1969. But it was not the first song sung by astronauts. That ...

The students selected for this survey had at least a "B" average in school, were involved in school or community ...

3725. When The Fish Won't Bite

Luke 5:1-11

Sermon

Frank Lyman

... To Simon Peter fishing was not a way to pass a pleasant summer evening; it was his livelihood. In Galilee, fish was eaten, processed, salted, dried, pickled, and it was even exported! (2) Simon had not caught any fish and Luke uses the Greek word Kopos, to describe his feeling. Kopos means toil and weariness, as if one had been beaten. It was not for lack of effort that Simon had failed. He'd fished all night long. He'd used the trammel net, designed to catch fish in the deepest part of the sea, but all he ...
