551. Living Lightly

Genesis 45:1-28

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... cartoons. In the first frame, this Hound of Heaven, Snoopy, ears begin to wave as he begins to leap about, “To dance is to live,” he says with gusto. In the next frame he’s twirling around and he concludes to himself, “For me, dancing is an emotional outlet.” In the third frame, he says with deep feeling, “I feel sorry for people who can’t dance.” And in the final frame, he goes leaping joyously away, admonishing us, “If you can’t dance, you could at least do a happy hop.” Do you get ...

552. A Life Hidden With Christ

Colossians 2:6-23

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... American actor, made witness to this in a television interview. Rooney has been crass, crude, often drunk in such appearances, usually angry and insulting. But the interviewer knew something had happened, and questioned Rooney about his recent past when he hit bottom emotionally and financially. Rooney calmly answered, "I don't mean to sound ecclesiastical, but recently I gave my life to the Lord Jesus Christ and now my past is gone." The Christian is a new person united with Christ. The two overwhelming ...

553. The Primacy Of Love

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... we cannot help. There is no particular virtue in falling in love. It is something with which we have little or nothing consciously to do; it simply happens. But "Agape" is far more than that. Agape has to do with the mind: it is not simply an emotion which rises unbidden in our hearts; it is a principle by which we deliberately live. Agape has supremely to do with the will. It is a conquest, a victory, and achievement." Here it is in a picture. Back in April of 1988, television cameras in Belfast, Ireland ...

554. Declaration Of Freedom

Galatians 5:1-15

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... Pilot asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Can't you imagine how Pilot was disarmed? How the whole assembly was disarmed? Without stuttering, without hesitation, Jesus simply said, and I have an idea that He said it without the slightest expression of emotion or anger or argumentativeness -- just a simple word. "You have said so." Jesus knew who He was, was free to be who He was, and did not allow others to threaten or manipulate his identity. Here is the truth in one cryptic sentence. Listen, because ...

555. Who Loves More?

Luke 7:36-50

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... take sin seriously. So, we see her kissing and anointing the Lord’s feet, her wiping his feet with her hair—we see that as emotion gone wild—we may even see it as worse. And we think in our mind, “It won’t last. She’ll be back to her old ... saved them from sin, delivered them of demons, and healed their diseases. Their gratitude was not just a rising tide of emotion, expressed at some momentous time—but it was a gratitude that expressed itself in tiresome, unromantic work of serving others. And ...

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... out five and walked one. Through seven of those eight innings he allowed only one hit, and when he was relieved for the ninth innings he was given a thunderous ovation by the San Francisco fans who were visibly moved by his inspired example. In an emotional post game press conference, Dravecky answered one question and then waved his hand and said, " Before we go any further, I want to say that I give all praise to Jesus Christ! Without Him, there is no story!" (The Los Angeles Times, August 11, 1989) Do ...

557. Getting Ourselves Off Our Hands

Philippians 3:12-4:1

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... direction. If we are going to get ourselves off our own hands, we must break the back of our own ego. The reason we think we have the total responsibility and bear the total burden of our living is our ego. And what a burden our ego is. "How much emotional energy do you spend protecting yourself from every possible slight, challenging every word spoken by either friend or enemy which demeans you, cringing under every cool look, tossing at night because someone else seemed preferred over you? How much ...

558. Dealing With Guilt And Shame

Romans 7:7-25

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... sin with an "I" in the middle? (sIn) Is no one any longer guilty of anything? (New York: Hawthorne Books, 1973, p.13) Dr. Menninger accurately argues that a life that ignores the correcting influence of guilt is a life destined for misery. So, guilt is a necessary emotion that has a useful function. Now don't get ahead of me. I know, as you know because we've all experienced it, that guilt can become so exaggerated in our lives that it is more a hindrance than a help. We can become so preoccupied with our ...

559. Naming And Being Named

John 15:1-17

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... . But I do mean that if we wait in the presence of the Lord, God will speak to us. He will speak through our minds, giving us a new idea. He will speak through our emotions, stirring us up or calming us down. Some one said the Lord comes to comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable. That's what he does. He speaks through our emotions. He speaks through our imagination, giving us a vision of what might be if we got in tune with him and with his will. He speaks through our memory and that's a tool ...

Proverbs 3:1-35

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... are played upon by the sad scene depicted on stage -- so much so that she sheds copious tears. Meanwhile, outside, her coachman is shivering in the cold as he awaits to take her home. She allows the emotion of pity to be excited by an imaginary scene, but refuses to allow pity to play on the chords of her daily life in relation to her driver. The Proverbs will play on the cords of our daily life if we will allow them. So we are going to look ...

561. Can a Rich Person Go to Heaven?

Mark 10:17-31

Sermon

King Duncan

... to sit down with a credit counselor and get ourselves out of debt. Letting our finances get out of control can quickly become a spiritual problem. It can place an unnecessary burden on our marriage, on our family life, even on our heart and emotions. Take control of your finances. Two. Take control of your desires. This one is a little more challenging. Ask yourself, what would really improve your quality of life? Often the things that will improve our lives are available without a great outlay of money ...

562. God Outwits Us

Psalm 31:1-24

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... us far more than we ask, think, or even imagine. Students, God’s grace is sufficient: § for you as you plod through your studies here—wondering how you’re going to make it—are you going to be able to complete your work—support your family—maintain emotional balance. Will there be a place for you to serve when you graduate? Are you going to find a mate with whom to share your life and ministry? God’s grace is sufficient, but more, God will outwit you. He will surprise you all along the way by ...

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... have this desire in my heart for a partner in ministry – and the opportunity to have a family.” Emmaus would be so inviting for her. Not long ago there was this request that broke my heart – emotional healing for my kids who suffered sexual abuse by a babysitter two years ago. Spiritual and emotional renewal for Jeannie, (that’s his wife), and me during this year. Those two children who had been abused are now eight and six. These parents know what Emmaus is all about, because Emmaus is wherever we ...

564. Keeping Our Souls

John 13:18-30

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... , sir, I do.” “Well, what is it?” The young man smiled and said, “Your bus has a bomb on it!” Jesus didn’t give his sermons titles -- but He had no trouble getting the attention of those to whom He spoke. His words often exploded an emotional bomb in their minds. It was certainly the case in our scripture lesson this morning. “One of you will betray me.” Bang! That got their attention. No doubt it was an explosive thought in each of their minds and they began to search their hearts. But that ...

565. Samaria and Our Spiritual Journey

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... without meaning in their work -- but have found that job and meaning now and are there to support the others. It is not a job-finding ministry, though many people get jobs because of the networking that takes place. It is a support ministry -- a spiritual, emotional support. People find life and meaning and they sometimes find jobs. The seed for this ministry was planted a few years ago when John Huggins, Roger Watson, and Roger Hoover had been out of work for a long time. Each of them started talking to me ...

2 Chronicles 7:11-22

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... care, as well as pastoral care from ministers in our congregation. I noted that she always kept her distance from me. One day in a social reception, I walked up to her from the side, put my hand on her shoulder, and greeted her. She reacted in a very emotional way, and I knew that for some reason, I had frightened her. She moved away from me as quickly as she could, without a word. Later, one of the ministers on our staff who had been counseling with her, requested that he and this young woman come to see ...

567. The Authority of Scripture: God's Breathed Word

2 Timothy 3:10--4:8

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... over from their life as prodigals in the far country. I wish you could have heard the testimonies. I wish you could have been privileged to pray with these students at the altar. All the problems of life: -- estrangement and dysfunctional families -- emotional and sexual abuse -- sexual brokenness, including homosexual practice and bondage to pornography As I listened to and prayed with these students I thought of Paul’s word to the Corinthians, “Such were some of you.” Listen to I Corinthians 6:9-11 ...

568. A Kingdom Investment Policy

Matthew 6:19-24

Sermon

Phil Thrailkill

... understand it, and guess what? You will soon find new and supportive affections bubbling up from within. Jesus did not say feel-it-and-then-do-it but do-it-and-then-feel-it. In the hierarchy of human capacities, the will is the executive function, the emotions a supportive function. The modern idea that I must feel something before I act in order to be genuine and true to myself is not integrity; it is psycho-babble self indulgence. The old hymn got it right, “Trust and obey, for there’s no other way ...

569. Oh, God!

Revelation 7:9-17

Sermon

King Duncan

... their teenagers.” Never once did a father put his arm around his son or daughter. Never once did he even touch his child. When a parent will show love, even by a simple act of touching, there is an opportunity for redemption. Otherwise, young people die emotionally, they did mentally, they die in their personalities because of a lack of love. (2) Now I want to turn to the last book in our Bible, the book of Revelation. Some people look at Revelation as the ultimate picture of an angry and vindictive God ...

570. A Broken Vessel for Jesus

Mark 14:1-11

Sermon

Michael Milton

... of brokenness grew from a sense of personal failure in ministry, times of breaking come in many flavors. For some it takes a shattered marriage, the loss of a loved one, a failed job, or ruined finances. For others the discovery of cancer or an emotional collapse may trigger a season of brokenness. God can use any of these episodes to tame our souls. The source of the situation is not nearly as important as how we respond to it. Although the circumstances may be diverse, the divine goal is very simple ...

571. Thank God for Dads

Galatians 2:11-21

Sermon

King Duncan

... alone. But for those who are in a situation where you are responsible not only for the physical needs of other, but also their emotional and spiritual needs as well, there is that special need for a Christ-like love--a love more giving than the love we were ... . What many of us need is to be reborn. Not in a doctrinal sense, but in a practical one. We need a new heart. We need new emotions. We need to die to our old self and to be made new to the love of Jesus Christ. That’s true of Dads, that’s true ...

572. Palm Sunday

Sermon Aid

John R. Brokhoff

... : "This was an innocent man" - Luke 23:47. c. Messiah: "Truly this man was the Son of God" - v. 54. 4. The Word Of The Cross. 27:46 (compare Isaiah 50:4-9a) - Need: For Jesus, death did not come only by physical torture. Probably the mental, emotional, and spiritual suffering were greater. Pilate was amazed that Jesus died so early. The pain greater than the physical dealt with his heart. In Lesson 1 the Servant suffers shame and disgrace: the pulling out of his beard and spitting in his face. The depth of ...

573. Proper 25

Deuteronomy 34:1-12, 1 Thessalonians 2:1-16, Matthew 22:34-40, Matthew 22:41-46, 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10

God commands us to love, and God is always right. b. Love is the indispensable quality of a Christian. c. Love is more than emotion: it is good will in action. Lesson 1: Deuteronomy 34:1-12 (C) 1. None Greater Than Moses. 34:10-12 Need: For Jews there is no one greater than Moses. This is the conclusion of those who wrote before Christ. To claim Moses was superior ...

574. The Garden Is Doing Fine?

Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23

Sermon

Stephen M. Crotts

... many come limping into the church hurt, divorced, bitter, broke, confused, and, hearing the gospel, jump for it with all the eagerness of a drowning man grabbing for a life rope tossed his way. And for a few months they can't get enough! Then the gust of emotion dwindles. They find out God doesn't always come when you whistle. Bible study is a chore. They want to be selective about obedience. And the next thing you know, they're out the door. Remember! Jesus said it'd be like this! "No depth of soil," Jesus ...

575. The Seven Deadly Fears

2 Timothy 1:1-2:13

Sermon

Leonard Sweet

... Christ, Shiva, Buddha - becomes a person to be feared and watched. Our fears don't just stifle interest in and respect of other religious or philosophical systems. Fear infiltrates all aspects of our lives. One French philosopher (Patrick Viveret) calls fear the "emotional plague of our planet." Fear infects all peoples and all nations, with a distrust and distaste for all that is other. In the ancient world of Christendom, the Latin church came up with a handy list of human failures and shortcomings called ...
