101. Parabola

Luke 10:25-37

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... , knifed, and beat the man, then discarded him roughly by the side of the road. The next morning early, before the event could be on the morning news, a pastor was driving through that way on his way to a conference meeting. He was already late. He saw a rumpled, unruly man lying by the side of the road. But being the bad area of town, he figured, he was drunk. He looked like he might be bleeding, but he was afraid to stop. He could always call the police when he got to the church. But as he met his ...

... ) who butts people out of his way, and consumes the entire trough of food, so that others cannot get enough? Do you take nips out of others and try to rule the pasture, making sure no one else gets first dibs on the best grass? Are you an unruly ewe, who tramples whoever gets in her path, and refuses to get along with others? Who plows through the rest and runs willy-nilly through the mountains risking a suicide dive off the neighboring cliff? A loose cannon, one would say? Do you think you know better than ...

103. The Thorn of Discontent

2 Corinthians 12:1-10

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... captain’s hat. But it is God who steers the wheel. Paul’s message in 2 Corinthians here is to the church at Corinth. That church was notorious for having some issues. Paul mentions a few, such as quarreling, jealousy, cliques, gossip, slander, arrogance, unruliness, impurity. But the biggest problem for the church at Corinth was that, as Paul puts it in his first letter to the church, they were getting “puffed up,” too full of themselves, “too big for their britches” as we used to say. Corinth ...

109. The Road to the Passover

John 2:13-22

Sermon

Timothy W. Ayers

... . He heard different languages and saw different clothing. He also saw the Roman soldiers posted along the streets that moved the thick crowd toward the temple. He knew they were there to strike down any rebellion and to keep the faithful from growing unruly. He was afraid to stare at them but couldn’t keep from throwing quick, furtive glances in their direction. Samuel’s group pressed on through the city until the temple loomed high before them. The entire area for the temple was about fourteen acres ...

... the way you see yourself to the way others view you, that is, if others are also telling you the truth. At times, we may perceive ourselves for example as overweight when others perceive us as “just right.” We may perceive ourselves as having unruly hair, whereas others may admire it. We may imagine that our clothes are too baggy, whereas another may think us fashionable. The “truth” is, to carry on the pun, that “perception is reality.” So, what does that say then for our vision of “reality ...

Colossians 3:1-4

Sermon

Dr. Ronald Love

... things in life hold us hostage, whether it is an ad- diction to drugs, alcohol, tobacco, money, sex, television, workaholic or a hobby out-of-control. In our daily living we feel ourselves in bondage to pain, health problems, grief, difficult decisions, unruly neighbors, inconsiderate coworkers, and an uncompromising boss. For all these problems and others, each robbing life of its joy and satisfaction, we call upon the name of Jesus for help. This is why our lectionary Easter lesson for this morning is so ...

112. John the Baptist and Mrs. Nolan

Mark 1:1-8

Sermon

King Duncan & Angela Akers

... I probably need to explain what I mean by that. I’ve never seen a picture of Mrs. Nolan, but I am certain she would not look anything like John the Baptist. John was kind of a rough-hewn man living and preaching in the wilderness. He probably had an unruly beard. His clothes were nothing more than a cloak made from camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist. And his diet—Lord, have mercy! He ate a diet of locusts and wild honey. I don’t know the nutritional value of such a diet, but I suspect ...
