601. Rag Doll #37

Drama

Edward Long

... a doll; but so far, this year, Pa, you haven't said "boo" about it ... MR McKENZIE: Nope. Ma, I just don't know. My mind tells me one thing, and my intuition hasn't changed since before Thanksgiving; but ... it just doesn't sound ... or seem ... or feel right. (Warms hands by the stove and thinks). Well ... MRS. McKENZIE: Well, you gonna let me in on it or not? MR. McKENZIE: The person who's been on my mind is Laura Hibbing ... and that doesn't 'compute' as they say. Every year we've given a doll it's been ...

602. Recollections of Enoch, A Jewish Captive In Babylon

Isaiah 12:1-6

Drama

Robert A. Morgan

... not as a judge, but coming as a gentle, tender shepherd, coming to guide and lead and care for us, coming to take us home! Is it any wonder I have wanted to tell you about all these things? Is it any wonder the heart of this old man is warm at last, and full of hope where there had been only cold guilt, empty loneliness, and bleak despair? This young man, this second Isaiah, seems to sense - Yahweh has given him the sense - of everything we have been feeling and everything we need. I've told you how we were ...

603. Recollections of Abdul, Camel Boy for An Eastern Potentate

Luke 1:46-56, Luke 1:39-45

Drama

Robert A. Morgan

... time, we had attracted considerable attention from the villagers, who were watching intently. As we went into town, Casper's chief servant led us, and sure enough, we stopped at a stable! It seemed to be the stable of a little inn. The day was fair and rather warm for winter, and at the stable door a young mother was sitting, holding a very small baby in her arms, apparently wanting him to enjoy the fresh air. I thought it was a peculiar place to give a baby air, until I realized that the mother and her ...

604. A Father's Desire

Luke 13:31-35

Children's Sermon

Brett Blair

... some things they did for you? (response) Did they feed you? (response) How many times did they feed you? (response) Did they rock you and hold you? (response) How many times did they hug you and hold you? (response) Did they burp you, change your diaper, keep you warm, put you down for naps? (response) Why do you think your parents did all these things for you? (response) That's right! When you were a baby, your parents wanted nothing else in all the world than for you to grow up to be big and strong like ...

605. Lost and Found

Luke 15:11-32, Luke 15:8-10, Luke 15:1-7

Children's Sermon

Brett Blair

... Son (e.g. wonderful home, ran away, ran out of money, got hungry, came back home, begged to be let back in, and the Father hugged and kissed him, bringing him back into the family). He remembered that his Father loved him -- that he had a home and food and warm clothes. Sometimes we run away from God and we need to find our way back home. So you see, it's not only watches show them your watch that can get lost; we can get lost. And God is joyful and happy when we pray to him and ask him ...

606. Adopted Love

Romans 8:1-17

Children's Sermon

Tim Carpenter

... ? (response) That's called adopting the puppy. When people adopt a puppy, what do they do with it? How do they take care of it? (response) Yes, they do all kinds of things to take care of it; they give it lots of love. They keep it in a nice warm spot, and they give it something to eat and drink, and they hold it and pet it and take good care of it. Why, it even becomes a part of the family, doesn't it? It was adopted by people who loved it. Application: Do you know what the Bible ...

Galatians 2:15-21

Children's Sermon

Tim Carpenter

... out in the country and see an old barn that is falling in. Have any of you ever seen an old barn that was falling in and rotting? (response) When a barn gets to be like that, can the horses and chickens stay inside of it to keep dry and warm? (response) No, they can't, because it is a dangerous place, right? When barns get to be in really bad shape, what do you think the farmer eventually does? (response) Yes, he tears it down in order to build a new one. If a farmer is going to build a ...

608. Written in the Heavens

Luke 10:1-24

Children's Sermon

Brett Blair

... up the t-shirt. Jesus said something that reminds me of this t-shirt. He said, "The Kingdom of God is near you." Can you imagine that? Heaven itself is near us. Hold the shirt to your torso or put it on. Just like a t-shirt, it surrounds us, warms us, covers our hearts, and protects us. Jesus said something else that reminds me of this t-shirt. He said, "Be happy (rejoice) because your names are written in heaven." Not only is heaven near you but God is so close to you that he knows your name and he ...

Drama

J. B. Quisenberry

... expecting, and the journey has been so hard on her!" The inn keeper's wife could see that Mary's time was near. She could see how uncomfortable she was. "What about the stable?" she asked her husband. "It's not much, but it is clean and warm." Joseph readily agreed. The inn keeper's wife gave them some blankets, and her husband showed Mary and Joseph to the stable. (The Inn Keeper leads Mary and Joseph to the manger which should be situated centrally, near the altar, and then leaves. Joseph should place a ...

610. Remember, Rejoice, Revive

John 14:15-31

Eulogy

Richard F. Bansemer

... to rejoicing, we must do more than remember.Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you." He said, "Peace I give to you unlike any other kind df peace." Still, he anticipates our objection. It is not enough! "Peace" is not enough to replace what we once had: a warm body, real words, exciting times, love, service, play, a memory in every corner of the house. These cannot be replaced with a concept, an idea or a memory, even if the Holy Spirit is promised in the deal. We object because we've tasted the real thing ...

John 14:1-4

Eulogy

Richard F. Bansemer

... is a time for everything" upon the earth. He believed in the God of the mansion, though a little cottage on a village street was big enough. He trusted in the Lord of life, Jesus the Christ, first back from the dead, who went to build a house: bigger, better, warm, bright. He dreamed of a place where he wouldn't have to start all over again making new friends. Those Christian friends of his who have died now live in the same place as he. He's not moving out; he's moving in.___________ took pride in being ...

Revelation 21:1-27

Eulogy

Richard F. Bansemer

... what ______________ believed. She said that life is like going to school. It is preparation for life with Christ hereafter. The former things have passed away. Remember what it was like in school?Remember how we used to say it when summer approached, and the long warm months of vacation came? The chant went like this: "No more classes, no more books, no more teacher's dirty looks!" Now the chant, based on God's word as recorded in Revelation is: "No more tears, no more death, no more sorrow nor crying, no ...

613. Step Nine - Discipline

Mt 5:21-26 · Eph 4:25-32 · Num 5:5-10

Sermon

John A. Terry

... the flame which comes from igniting dried straw. It blazes up, and just as quickly dies down. The other word is orge', which is described as habitual anger. It is the long-lived anger that we nurse, just like we would nurse a fire we wanted to keep us warm all night. It is the anger we brood over and will not allow to die. This is the anger which refuses to be reconciled. This is the anger which insists on revenge. Resentment and grudges have a way of becoming permanent if we let them fester. Do not nurse ...

614. Kingdom Order

Luke 14:1-14

Children's Sermon

Brett Blair

... to the older and bigger. So remember the little ones. The ones who are not quite as strong as you are. They need to be cared for. Address all the children: And God reminds us all to take care of those who don't have any shoes to wear or warm clothes to wear. If you will do this, you will be a winner in God's eyes. Let's Pray: Lord, help us to be humble and help one another. We don't always have to be number one to be happy. Amen.

Children's Sermon

Tim Carpenter

... a packet of Kool-Aid. Lesson: Today I want to take a survey to see what kind of things you like, okay? Hold up the jar of vinegar. How many know what this is? (response) Now, how many people like to have a big, cold glass of vinegar on a warm summer's day? (response) No? Hold up the Kool-Aid pouch. Well, who would rather have a drink made from this? (response) So you would rather have the Kool-Aid than the vinegar? (response) Okay. Next, how many of you would like just to open up your mouth and bite ...

616. Saving Grace

1 Timothy 1:15-16

Children's Sermon

Tim Carpenter

Exegetical Aim: To show that Christ is our salvation. Props: A life-preserver (vest), arm floats for a child, an inflatable ring, sunglasses, etc. Lesson: Hey, kids, it's not going to be warm much longer, so I'm going to go swimming. I just thought I would bring some of my things to show you. Do you think these things will help me swim? Put on the gear and put the arm floats on for a laugh. Put on the sunglasses as a ...

617. Here Comes the Judge!

Matthew 25:31-46

Sermon

Johnny Dean

... and stand with the group to my right." But before I go to stand with the sheep, honesty will force me to add, "But, Lord, there were other days - too many to count, in fact - when I stuffed myself with food while others went hungry. There were nights when I warmed myself by a cozy fire while others slept out in the cold with only a cardboard box for shelter, if they were lucky enough to find one. And sometimes I turned away people who asked for just a little money to make ends meet because I wasn’t sure I ...

618. Making Christmas Last

Luke 2:21-40

Sermon

Brett Blair

... and it came to a grinding halt every ten feet due to the exposure of asphalt. So much of what we do during this season, if you read the scriptures with more than a cursory glance, is strikingly foreign to that first Christmas. Who of us is not warmly moved when we hear the famous birth narrative. It occurs in the Gospel of Luke just before the text we just read. The events and characters are so familiar: Caesar Augustus and the census, Mary and Joseph’s delicate situation of a child outside of wedlock. A ...

619. Some Assembly Required

Luke 2:21-40

Sermon

Johnny Dean

... their parents, looking for that one special infant who will deliver the children of Israel. Perhaps many people walking the streets of Jerusalem that day stopped to see the new baby, to coo at him and tell his parents how cute he was. Babies are so warm and appealing, so unassuming, so vulnerable. Babies don’t challenge us, they only depend upon us and respond to our love. It’s easy to love a baby, and it’s easy to worship the Christ-child. Mary and Joseph must have felt flattered when Simeon searched ...

620. Hard Times May Drop In For A Visit

Ezekiel 37:1-14

Sermon

Joann Hary

... fact, even right now, there are probably broken hearts in many of these pews this morning. But I also ask you, have you seen a tulip sprouting through? Have you seen a robin? Have you seen some geese flying back north? Is there some green grass in some of the warm spots of your lawn? Is not God's world full of promise, full of hope, full of renewal? Indeed, "In the bulb, there is a flower, in the seed an apple tree, in cocoons a hidden promise, butterflies will soon be free. In the cold and snow of winter ...

621. The Family of Judas

Drama

William Grimbol

... such courage, and at least he fought hard for his convictions. He didn't just follow the crowd. He didn't accept things as true, just because that was the way it had always been. He was a rebel. He was a radical. Yet, he had such a generous and warm heart. He wasn't just a trouble-maker; no he was a man totally dedicated to his beliefs. It is hard to accept that he is dead. But ... you know ... at least he lived, I mean really lived. I don't understand why he died the way he did, or ...

622. The Flame, The Wind, And The Walk

Acts 2:1-13

Drama

Marion Fairman

... like that! (Bursting out) Why can't they write it plain? Leader: (Laughing) Maybe it's as plain as they can make it. (Shrugging) We are dealing with a divine mystery here. (Pause) Think about it for a minute. What's fire like? Woman: Well, it warms you if you're cold. Man: In some metals it burns out the dross. Woman: (Grudgingly) Well, I guess that is a little bit plainer. Leader: (To the man) What's a mighty wind like - what happens? Man: Strong - unbound - something that sweeps everything before it ...

623. The Outsider

Sermon

Ron Lavin

... close that loneliness was blotted out. I remember how my mother used to hold me. God, I remember how my mother used to hold me, when I was hurting in spirit or flesh. She'd gather me in close and stroke my silky hair and caress my back with her warm hands. O God, I'm so lonely. I remember when the first boy ever kissed me. We were both so new at that. The taste of young lips and popcorn. The feeling inside of mysteries to come. I remember Hank and the babies. How else can I remember them but ...

624. The Christian's Tears of Failure

Matthew 26:69-75

Sermon

John R. Brokhoff

... why tears fall when we fail as Christians. Tears, for one thing, usually come at the time when we fully comprehend and realize that we have failed as Christians to be loyal to Christ. This was the case with Peter. There were no tears while he was warming himself at the courtyard fire and defending himself against the maid's accusations. Only when he heard the cock crow and only when Jesus turned and looked at him with an "I told you so" glance, did Peter realize that he failed to be loyal by denying that ...

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

Luke 8:1-15

Sermon

Larry Powell

... pulpit. The most prominent fixture in the church was the long stove pipe which stretched from an outside wall, elbowed, and connected finally to the old stove. The lengthy pipe probably heated as much of the sanctuary as the stove did, but it was warm outside on this particular Sunday and there was no fire in the stove. About midway through the sermon there was suddenly a loud rattling disturbance in the pipe. To say the least, it was disconcerting. "Go ahead, preacher," someone yelled. "That old squirrel ...
