1 Timothy 6:3-10

Sermon

Rev. Donald R. Shank

... to fulfill Christ's mission to the world. Giving away our wealth will help break its hold on us. That is what Jesus told the rich young ruler, but he did not want to pay that kind of a price. Every Christian should be sure he practices the art of giving. This is one of those areas where we have to learn by doing - where we act first, and then the right feelings follow. If we wait till we feel like giving generously, we may never break the stranglehold. Stewardship of giving doesn't mean salving our ...

Ephesians 3:4-6

Sermon

Louis H. Valbracht

... shown forth, for this is the day that we observe the visit of the Magi or the Wise Men to the child Jesus, and notice that I say "child," not "infant." I am sure that you are all well aware by this time that, contrary to much of our Christmas art and imagery and Christmas cards, and even our creche out in front of the church, that the Magi did not arrive at the same time as the shepherds at the stable in Bethlehem. They arrived sometime between one and two years after the birth of Christ. Mary and Joseph ...

Jeremiah 17:19-27

Sermon

Louis H. Valbracht

... happenings. It's important! Christ lived in history. The Kingdom of God has come to earth, and the movement of history is the movement of the world toward the realization of that Kingdom. And so the upward strivings of science and medicine and the arts are of vital importance to Christianity. The human mind and its talents and its creativity are not despised, they are dedicated. The gospel is real. The Word was made flesh, dwelling among us. Christ speaks with the authority of realism. You say the Sermon ...

762. Give Them Good News...

Romans 5:1-11

Sermon

Robert V. Dodd

GIVE THEM GOOD NEWS ...It'll totally disarm them! I have always been fascinated by radio preachers: Some are profoundly helpful and extremely gifted in the art of communication. Others are delightfully entertaining. But there are others that I fear do more harm than good. Such was the case when I tuned in a certain radio preacher while driving through the mountains of Western North Carolina. He had obviously been bombarding the air waves with his "hell- ...

Brett Blair

... ? He was a boy wasn’t he? Of course, he has told a lie. Mom’s you’ve got to let your children go and let them learn on their own. On the other hand, we all know they never out grow their need for a mother. It’s an art isn’t it? Deciding when to let them go. How far to let them venture away from you and when to draw them in, hold them, and protect them from danger. Notice that this mother let her young son go out in the field with his dad. She let him ...

... words that we use. The problem is the lack of genuiness on our part. And so when you pray be persistent. Don’t give up. Don’t lose heart. It’s a virtue and God will honor it. And when you pray, say Our Father, [pray it with me], which art in heaven Hollowed be thy name, They kingdom come, thy will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

... ; do not be afraid," we are very likely to say, "It's me, and I'm scared to death." And about the time we say this we begin to sink. You see, my dear friend, lest we be engulfed, lest we go under and be overcome, we must learn the art of walking on the water. And we can. Many have. I have known some of these people, and probably, so have you - people who have had more than enough trouble to undo them, but they haven't been undone - people who have come through enough of storm to take anyone ...

766. An Everyday Theology

Luke 11:1-13

Sermon

Wallace H. Kirby

... . We are in serious danger of failing to heed Durant. With our attention on those multitude who are flocking to the proclaimers of the gospel (whose presentation is untarnished by a serious grappling with the wisdoms of science, biblical criticism, or the prevailing arts) we are overlooking the fact that we are creating a new mission field: those who drop out of the faith because it appears too simplistic, obscure and anti-intellectual. According to Cohn Morris, the pulpit is one of the few remaining places ...

767. The Witness and the Witnesses

John 15:18--16:4

Sermon

Easter ends and the season of Pentecost begins with the singing of an old and much beloved hymn: Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire And lighten with celestial fire; Thou the anointing Spirit art Who dost thy seven-fold gifts impart. Thy blessed unction from above Is comfort, life, and fire of love. Enable with perpetual light The dullness of our blinded sight. Finally, we pray: Teach us to know the Father, Son, And thee, of both, to be but One; That through the ...

Luke 7:1-10

Sermon

... looked at it," he declared, "the better I would feel" (and the more the picture faded). James Jones was the only God he knew or wanted to know. But the emperor wouldn’t suffice as the God and Creator of all for a Roman centurion. The book, Our Father Who Art in Hell, and this incident of 2,000 years ago seem to ask you and me, "Who, really, is your God?" The trouble with this tale from the Galilean ministry of Jesus is simply that the Roman centurion comes off as more of a Christian than we do, I’m ...

769. Tomb for Sale

Luke 7:11-17

Sermon

George Bass

Some time ago, a strange classified ad appeared in the newspaper of one of our cities. It began: "Tombstone for sale," and continued, "Didn’t die; don’t need it." The details that followed in the ad caused a reporter to investigate and to interview Art Kranz, the man who had taken the advertisement in the classified section of the paper. Kranz told him that the tombstone had been in his living room for several months, but it was not his; it had been ordered by his sister after she was told that she was ...

770. The Man, the Message, and the Mission

Luke 12:49-53

Sermon

George Bass

... for the Lord and the world. A thousand years ago, a church was built on a little island in the Tiber River where it flows past the city of Rome. Fittingly, it replaced - and was built on the ruins of - an ancient temple dedicated to the art and science of medicine, the Temple of Aesculapius, which stood there at least three centuries before Christ was born. People visited that temple, a sort of spa, to seek cures for various illnesses as well as relief from pain; the temple was elaborate. The church that ...

771. Lord, I Believe - Or Do I?

Luke 18:1-8

Sermon

In his ministry of teaching, Jesus was a master at the art of storytelling. Many of his stories, known as parables, have been our favorites through the years since first we heard them. They can be repeated many times, and we will never tire of them - the story of the Good Samaritan, the prodigal, the two men praying in the temple, the ...

772. An Encounter With Two Old Friends

Luke 18:9-14

Sermon

... ourselves and others, or, at times, between what we once were and what we now have made of ourselves. Just look at me now! It comes out in gossiping another’s failures and in singing the old gossip carol, "Do you hear what I hear?" We are masters of the art. But the Pharisee and publican, together with us all, stand in the light of God. We are measured by a standard none of us has ever reached. We stand in need of mercy. In the holy Presence Peter cried, "Depart from me. I am a sinful man, O Lord." In ...

773. Jesus Shares His Victory

1 Corinthians 9:24

Children's Sermon

... feel as though you had won something? Do you know what you have won? Before I tell you what you have won I must give you something. When a man wins a race or a woman wins first prize at a flower show or you are first in a school art show, what do you get? (Let them guess - some will say a trophy, others money, but someone will say a ribbon). A Blue Ribbon. That’s right. How many people can win a race or any contest? Most of the time only one person wins, but today all of you ...

774. The Godness Of God

Exodus 3:1-22

Sermon

... we are in the middle of Lent and already we can see the hill of Calvary in the distance. Once again, we shall see, on Good Friday, the perfect goodness of God in allowing the Savior to bleed and die for your sins and mine. "My God, how wonderful thou art!" Some contemporary theologians are saying that God is the problem. No, God is not the problem; we are the problem. We do not have to explain God, but God can explain us. In the final analysis, God is God. God is being. God is reality. God is the "I AM ...

775. If Only We Would Let God Mold Us ...

Jeremiah 18:1--19:15

Sermon

Wallace H. Kirby

... the imagination of many through the years. One was Adelaide A. Pollard who wrote the beloved hymn, "Have Thine Own Way, Lord." She pictured the ideal response to God as a willingness to be molded according to the divine design. Have thine own way, Lord! Have thine own way! Thou art the potter; I am the clay. Mold me and make me After thy will, While I am waiting Yielded and still. If only we would let God mold us ...
