501. The Day God Repented

Jonah 3:1-10

Sermon

King Duncan

... John Mahaffey, who won the Bob Hope Desert Classic in January, 1984, decided three years earlier to get rid of some of his bad habits in order to be a better golfer. He says that he quit drinking, smoking, and carousing and at thirty-five years of age began to feel better than he did at twenty-five. It is always in our best interest to get rid of unhealthy habits. But most of us are more like the old lady who said she "ain't been doin' nothin'" and was "goin' to quit that, too!" A change of lifestyle may ...

502. Help For Hurting Dads

Galatians 3:15-25

Sermon

King Duncan

... , if you regret being the kind of Dad you've been, it's not too late to change and begin again. And if you are estranged from your Dad, whatever the reason, it's not too late to seek healing in your relationship. Some Dads seem to feel that the only thing they owe their children is to provide them with the basics of food, clothing, and shelter. But this is only the beginning. Every child needs unconditional love and support. Intangibles like a sense of stability, a set of values, a measure of selfworth and ...

503. The Defining Moment (A Sermon for New Year's)

Luke 2:21-40

Sermon

King Duncan

... , let me suggest Rev. Schoedel's list. Why do we bother to make New Year's resolutions in the first place? Why do we feel this need each January 1 to set new goals? Maybe it is because resolutions help us to identify our priorities. They answer the Question: ... to please God, and to advance God's glory. If he is consumed in the very burning, he cares not for it--he is content. He feels that, like a lamp, he is made to burn; and if consumed in burning, he has but done the work for which God appointed him." (3) ...

504. Needed: Peacemakers

Ephesians 2:1-10

Sermon

King Duncan

... Late Than Never." Can you imagine being at war for over 348 years? No shots were fired in those three centuries and no hostages were taken. Yet officially they had not made peace. If only every war could be conducted in that way. Do you ever have the feeling that peace is nowhere to be found? In this day and age, no corner of the globe has gone undiscovered. We have the technology to communicate with almost anyone on the planet. The world community has more in common than ever before. And yet we still find ...

505. Drowning In A Sea Of Stuff

Luke 12:13-21

Sermon

King Duncan

... horseback riding lessons and a private ski instructor. Jane Carrey also needs money for a talent agent and to be professionally photographed as she begins a career in entertainment, her mother says. Jane is the only child of Jim and Melissa Carrey, who divorced in 1995. (1) I feel sorry for Jane Carrey. I really do. Not because, as a 15-year-old, she can't get by on $10,000 a month. I mean we all have our crosses to bear. But because she will probably never have a proper perspective on the place of money ...

506. Marks Of A Champion

1 Timothy 6:3-10

Sermon

King Duncan

... . There is no word more overused in the English language than the word love. People love their children, they love their pets, they love their cars, they love their soft drink. But that's not the kind of love St. Paul is talking about. Love is more than a feeling, a mushiness inside. Love is a commitment to do good for another. When the Gospel of John says, "God so loved the world . . ." it means God was committed to do something that would save humankind. It didn't mean that God simply had a warm, fuzzy ...

507. Bread From Heaven

John 6:25-59

Sermon

King Duncan

... from Richmond, Indiana, said that one day she was concentrating hard on something and her brow was furrowed. Her five-year-old daughter said, "Oh Mommy, don't do that. You look like all those people at church!" (4) Ooh. That hurts. But sometimes it's true. Most Christians feel more joy than they exhibit. Some of it is a function of personality. Some of us have a great deal on our minds. If someone asked us, we would say that we have a deep sense of abiding joy. We may just be people who do not wear our ...

508. Being Alone

Genesis 2:18

Sermon

King Duncan

... I want most is world peace--and that my ex-husband get hit by a bus"? Many who are alone have to deal with anger. Many also have to deal with fear. There is no greater fear than that of finding one's self suddenly alone. A feeling of intimacy helps us deal with stressful situations. During World War II, the ratio of German camp guards to American prisoners was 1 to 1. However, there were many successful escapes, and morale, under the circumstances, was high. Prisoners in those camps were held in large group ...

509. An Empty Cup

Job 23:1--24:25

Sermon

King Duncan

... places like Nigeria and Bosnia, where war or famine or epidemic diseases ravage the people. In her book Just Here Trying To Save a Few Lives, Dr.Grim shares her feelings after spending another exhausting day treating hundreds of patients in a meningitis outbreak in Nigeria. "The funny thing is, I think, as I wipe the tears out of my eyes, I don't feel sad. In fact, I really don't feel anything anymore. The death of a child--I shrug it off . . . It's not as if I don't care. I'm sure I do care, or I wouldn't ...

510. The Chicken or the Egg

Mark 1:1-8

Sermon

Donald B. Strobe

... I read Pastor Kenney’s words, I began to wonder about them: Just how truly and how earnestly must one repent before one can feel worthy enough to approach the Communion Table? And just how much love and charity toward my neighbors am I supposed to have? Can such ... was that he express some remorse for his crime and promise never to kill again. But Streleski said, “I do not feel remorse. I have never felt remorse.” (The Bellevue (Ohio) Gazette, Sept. 9, 1985, p. 1) Repentance is important. Confession is ...

511. Preparing for Something Big

Mark 13:1-31

Sermon

Paul E. Flesner

... . It is easy to get caught up in the routine events of everyday life. The problem is that if we only look to the immediate future, there appears to be no end in sight. But when seen from the viewpoint of eternity, even what we sometimes feel to be monotony is moving us steadily forward toward God's kingdom. Remember -- God measures time differently than we do. What seems to us like an "eternity" is to God but a "split second" and a "watch in the night." God's "eternity" is beyond our comprehension, but ...

512. The Meaning of It All

Mark 1:9-13

Drama

Angela Akers

... I’ve just got a great big hole in my life.” Therapist: (hesitant) “Um, uh, I’m not sure how to tell you this, but you do have a great big hole.” Doughnut: (looks relieved) “So you understand what I’m feeling? I’m so relieved!” Therapist: “If I understand you, you feel like you are incomplete, like you are lacking something central in your life.” Doughnut: “Exactly! I wonder what my purpose is in life. What’s it all about? Is it just about who has the most sprinkles? I’ve tried ...

513. The Hillside and the Basket

John 6:1-15

Sermon

Stephen M. Crotts

... mass communication we see more needy crowds than Jesus did in his day. Sociologists are beginning to identify in people a syndrome that is a direct result of the information age. It seems we see so many hurts and can do so little about it that we feel powerless. So we avert our eyes, stop our ears to the wails, grow calloused in our hearts. The result is the poor hurting masses become increasingly invisible to us. I have a friend who ministers in a large western city among the Chinese. He shares with me ...

514. The Source

Hebrews 4:14-5:10

Sermon

Paul E. Robinson

... course the actress Madonna is better known than the Mother of Jesus in many pockets of culture, but the combination of presumption and lack of awareness of a broader reality on the part of Madonna's publicist is remarkable. And sad. There are some who feel that way about Jesus. About God. About the church. About faith. Empty, well-meaning words by pastors and priests at times of terrible pain have left a question mark about the ability of the Divine Reality to understand truly. Not everyone sings the song ...

515. Building a House (Mother's Day)

Luke 6:46-49

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... soul. Then it became very clear. That's the way it is always. God is as close to anyone of us as he will ever be -- because God is intimately present with us who have given ourselves to Him, who wish to serve Him. The problem is we don't feel His presence. We don't acknowledge His presence. We don't exercise His presence. Nothing is missing from God's side of things It's from our side of things that there is a void. So we need to practice making believe -- that is, cultivating our sense of wonder. Being ...

516. A Converting Presence

1 John 2:28--3:10

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... is not its only meaning for me. It is a rediscovery of the world of which I have the joy of being a part. It feels me with the wonder of eternity, with the incredible miracle of God. The music is never the same for me. Every day is something ... spiritual maturity, to grow up to the measure of the statue of the fullness of Christ. But how exciting, to know that it can happen and to feel it happening in my life and in your life. I didn’t say in the beginning, but I’ll say now, I really don’t like Picasso ...

517. Participants In The Gospel

Philippians 1:1-11

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. It is right for me to feel thus about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and ... and confirmation of the gospel. Now let’s look at that entire verse and get the full impact of it. It’s right for me to feel this way about you, because you’re all partakers with me of grace - both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the ...

518. Repentance: The No That Is A Yes

Luke 3:1-20

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... mine, I hear their voices. Whispering from beyond the silenced storm, they are what links the survivor to their memory." Hasidism was a branch of Judaism which produced many Rabbis whose deeds and stories are still passed on by Jews today, by Jews who feel -- as Wiesel makes us feel in this book -- that they know these Rabbis personally. In this book, he tells many of the tales of Rabbi Israel of Rizhim. One theme that recurs over and over again in Rizhim's tales is this. A traveler loses his way in the ...

519. Building A House

Luke 6:46-49

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

520. Getting Our Lives Out Of Hock

Psalm 105:1-45

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... to be very Christian, and they may be. But, many times, the Christian part is overshadowed by the fact that the person can't face his or her own emptiness, so they seek to be recognized and loved for being good. Often their goodness covers up a lack of feeling for life. Their actions don't flow out of a natural overflow of caring but the need in their life to be good by rescuing someone else. The compulsion to rescue. Do you have that kind of compulsion; or, do you find yourself in hock to someone who is ...

521. Learning to Give Thanks

Luke 17:11-19

Sermon

King Duncan

... of the ten men with leprosy who were healed by Jesus, only one returned to say, "Thank you." What happened to the rest? Too busy? Perhaps. Too self-occupied? More likely. But could it be that a few of the nine who didn’t say thanks really didn’t feel all that grateful? Could it be that they still felt like outcasts? Were they thinking to themselves, "Well, yes, I’m healed. But still I’ve got to get a job and support myself. I lost everything I had while I was sick. My own family turned their back ...

Maxie Dunnam

... period of prayer known. In the back of a little book I had been reading, I wrote down some of what I was feeling – words that I intended to share if the position actually became mine to accept. Here is what I wrote: I want to deliberately ... new land, a new race, a new language; and although I couldn’t have put it into words then, I needed a new mystery.” I Do you feel it? “I didn’t know where I was going…” I am with you, Nicholas, and aren’t we all? And in good tradition. Listen to the record ...

Exodus 32:1-33:6

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... him a letter at 2:47 in the morning. She couldn’t sleep that night, was upset and troubled on the inside, so she poured her feelings out to him.

Well, I think I will continue to feel my way back through the dark, feeding my faith until someday the lights come on again. (“Living Down In the Valley, sermon preached December ...

524. When Jesus Comes to Church

Mark 11:27-33

Sermon

Michael Milton

... , do not ignore his conviction Jesus, in His Word and by His Spirit, is in church today. He still disturbs us. He still challenges us. We must not ignore the Son of God. If you feel the pain of your sin, perhaps the heartache of failure, or the disappointment of thinking you have disappointed God, blessed are you. For to feel the pain is to hear the Savior in your heart. For those who do, the healing has already begun. I want to draw your attention to what has happened to these people. They had the Word ...

525. The God of Lost Sheep

Luke 15:1-7

Sermon

King Duncan

... readily admitted his mistake. With their help, Pat made a safe landing. (2) If you have ever been lost, you know what a helpless feeling it is. H.H. Staton in his book, A Guide to the Parables of Jesus, tells the story of having been on an ocean liner ... two ways they can become lost. Humans have thousands, and we seem to be inventing new ones every day. My guess is that all of us feel lost from time to time. Some of us have hurts that were inflicted on us early in our lives, and those hurts still cause us ...
