When I looked up into that dim light and saw your face, I thought you were Jesus.” The man smiled and said, “When I heard your voice calling for help, I thought you were Jesus.” Jesus is in us all.

2 Chronicles 34:14-33

Sermon

Erskine White

... sin and had to be judged. Much more often than not, the Bible shows nations to be fountains of iniquity and unrighteousness, at cross-purposes with the ways of God. Surely, God's Word in scripture speaks to people and nations alike: "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord" (Isaiah 55:8). Many Christians can't accept this. They have distorted Biblical faith to the point where flag is above cross, the dollar is almighty and Caesar is Lord over Christ. They see God ...

... that hitting the wrong button can completely destroy a program. If you lose power for just an instant, all the information you have just programmed can be lost. But if you hit the right buttons and do not lose power, the computer can do amazing things. God cannot be thought of like that. There are no programs laid out for us like AAA will plan our trips with all the routes and exits marked. Especially when trouble strikes, I have a lot of difficulty calling that God's will. I do not think it is God's will ...

Before he got there, however, some otherservant girl, pointing her finger at him, declared, "She's right! He was with the Nazarene." This time Peter thought an oath would assure those within earshot that the silly girls were mistaken. "I swear I don't know the man!" he blurted out. I am sure that by the time he made this second denial, his voice had gotten a little louder, so that most ...

661. WHAT IS MAN?

Sermon

Larry Powell

... and sometimes "less than we seem." Some wit has observed that each of us is really three persons: (1) the person he is capable of being, (2) the person he thinks himself to be, and (3) the person he really is. In it all, the most fascinating thought that shall ever pass from human lips is condensed and expressed in the words of the hymn-writer: I stand amazed in the presenceof Jesus the Nazarene,And wonder how He could love me,a sinner, condemned, unclean.How marvelous, how wonderful!and my song shall ever ...

And that is precisely what John 3 is all about. “There are other worlds to sing in”… in this life and, yes, even beyond this life.

My brothers and I still could not believe what we had seen and heard. We thought about it. We discussed it. Were our minds deceiving us?

Drama

Thomas Blowers

... never realized it before. I don't know how you'd describe it were someone to strip you naked, right down to your own disfiguring perception of what makes the world what it is, but for me it was like my birthday. It was like unwrapping a gift you never thought to ask for, but you always wanted. The moment someone handed it over to you it was a gift you knew you wanted to accept. So you respond to the giver and the gift even as I responded to Jesus standing before me reaching out his hand touching the side ...

Sermon

... . Her body lay at the funeral director's and I went to spend a few minutes there. As I entered the room, the attendant who greeted me rather dolefully asked, "Do you wish to see the remains?" Casting a quick glance toward the other end of the room, I thought: Remains? This is not what remains of this good woman. What remains of her is not in this casket; what remains of her is in the hearts and minds and souls and memories of thousands of people she has touched along the way. What remains of her resides in ...

Luke 20:27-40

Sermon

... be replaced. People would relate to one another, but not in the same ways they related to one another in this life. This is where the Sadducees had made their mistake. They could not see beyond the structures and relationships of this life.

Jesus did not accept this premise, and he tried to lift their imaginations beyond their present day ...

As I picked him up to hold him, he screamed such a cry of despair, I thought he would die in my arms. Is there a rational explanation for that? Does it make sense from a reasonable point of view?

Finally the third doctor injected his thoughts on the matter saying, "As important as diet is, the biggest factor in people's poor health is not how much they eat or what they eat. The biggest factor is what's eating them." And you know he's right. That is not only true for our physical ...

"That’s fine," said his mother, "but what made you decide to be a preacher?" "Well," said the boy thoughtfully. "Since I have to go to church every Sunday anyway, I think it would be more fun to stand up and yell than to sit still and listen." Jesus was a preacher.
