1377. The Ultimate Solution For Sin

Mark 9:38-50

Sermon

King Duncan

... . Then they ran out of the food. Unfortunately, the polar bear hadn't run out of appetite, so he proceeded to board their vessel. The men on ship were terrified and opened the fire hoses on the bear. The polar bear loved it and raised his paws in the air to get the water under his armpits. We don't know how they did it, but eventually they forced the polar bear to return to his ice pad--but not before teaching these seamen a horrifying lesson about feeding polar bears. (1) Some people make the same mistake ...

Sermon

King Duncan

... of these large knives all at once. Knives were flying everywhere, though amazingly all of them were expertly under his control. While he was performing, another car passed by. The driver of this car did a double take when he saw the juggler throwing six knives up in the air at one time and catching them. He turned to his wife and said, "That's it. I'm through drinking. Why, if I ever got stopped, I could never pass one of those new sobriety tests!" Timothy was a young man who had passed the test to become a ...

1379. Setting An Example

1 Thessalonians 1:1-10

Sermon

King Duncan

... a life. We've added years to life, not life to years. “We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've split the atom, but not our prejudice. “We have higher incomes, but lower morals. We've become long on quantity, but short on quality. These are the times of tall men and short character; steep profits and shallow relationships. These are ...

Hebrews 13:1-25

Sermon

King Duncan

... Chris seemed to want to be left alone, and so she reluctantly agreed to leave. When he came back to his room, she says, “He was lit up, just vibrant. Smiling. I could see his big dimples. I hadn't seen them in so long. He didn't have the air of a terminally ill and very weak man anymore." “Who was that guy?" she asked. “You're not going to believe me," Chris said. “Yes, I will," she answered. “He was an angel," Chris said. “My guardian angel." Melissa did believe him. “All I had to do was to ...

Luke 14:25-35

Children's Sermon

King Duncan

... generally like to know how hot it is so we can dress accordingly. In the summertime there is another way to find out how hot it is. You can listen to crickets. Adult male crickets produce chirping noises by rubbing their forewings together. The higher the air temperature, the greater the number of chirps. That sounds unbelievable, but it's true. If you count the number of a cricket's chirps in fifteen seconds and add 40, the result will be the temperature within one degree Fahrenheit. That way you will know ...

1382. Playing The Comparison Game

Matthew 20:1-16

Sermon

King Duncan

... . That is an illusion. If you doubt that, you need only consider the story of Maya Angelou's Aunt Tee, a woman who worked 30 years as a maid and 30 years as a live-in housekeeper. On Saturdays, when she lived with a rich White couple in Bel-Air, she would cook pigs' feet, greens and fried chicken, then invite some of her friends over for the evening. The chauffeur and the other housekeeper and her husband would come to eat, drink, dance, laugh and play cards. One night, during the middle of a bid whist game ...

1383. Come Home To God

Joel 2:1-11

Sermon

Angela Akers

... Have you ever felt like you are in the midst of a spiritual drought? Your joy has dried up. You are barren of hope. You cannot seem to lift your eyes from the pavement. Your prayers, if you even have the words to pray, seem to evaporate into thin air. Where is God? Is it possible that sin is standing between you and God's presence and power? Do you need the kind of revival that can only come through humbling your heart and asking forgiveness for your sins? The audience in the courtroom held their breath as ...

Sermon

King Duncan

... half; the world record for the amount of force being pulled on his arms (between 2,000 and 2,200 pounds), and he is considered by many to be, pound for pound, the strongest man in the world. He is in Ripley's Believe it or Not for having two Air Force T-34 aircrafts chained to his arms going in opposite directions, and keeping them from taking off. He has done the same thing with Harley Davidsons, two on each side. He bends 1/2-inch steel bars, 18 inches long, into a perfect U-shape. He bends 10-inch ...

1385. Another World

Exodus 24:1-18

Sermon

King Duncan

... bad memories passed through his mind. He thought certainly he would die. But then he felt a jolt that almost tore him in half. Yes! Like any good mountain climber he had staked himself with a long rope tied to his waist. In those moments of stillness, suspended in the air he had no other choice but to shout, "HELP ME, GOD! HELP ME!" All of a sudden he heard a deep voice from heaven. "What do you want me to do?" "SAVE ME," he cried. "Do you REALLY think that I can save you?" asked the voice. "OF COURSE, MY ...

1387. Schadenfreude

Luke 15:11-32

Sermon

Rev. Dr. S. Ronald Parks

... . Someone got away with something, and it wasn't you! Enter the elder brother in the story of the Prodigal Son. He had an idea of justice and, as far as he is concerned, all is well. The daily tour of his family's estate is conducted with an air of pride and a smirk planted firmly on his face. Gone is the younger brother, that impulsive and disrespectful idiot. "If there was any justice in God's good creation, he is either begging for food, toiling in anonymity, or wasting away in jail. In any event, he is ...

Psalm 23:1-6

Sermon

Siegfried S. Johnson

... of children. But the monsters are really harmless, existing only by the energy of children's screams. The only energy source in this monster world is the screams of the children, screams that are compressed and tanked in the same way you would fill up an air tank. Ah, but here's the secret. Things are actually reverse. It is actually the monsters who are afraid of children. (In the same way that Osama bin Laden and his terrorists are afraid of the West, afraid that their life is severely threatened by the ...

Matthew 10:1-42

Children's Sermon

King Duncan

... than are the sparrows." How much are we worth? You and I would walk a little taller and feel a little more important if we knew just how much we are loved. We are loved more than all of the gold on earth, more than all the birds in the air or fish in the sea. There is no way to measure how much we are worth to our parents or to God. In fact, God loved us so much that he gave His own Son in our behalf. Wow! We are loved. Now let's pass that love on to ...

1390. What Are You Afraid Of?

Matthew 10:1-42

Children's Sermon

King Duncan

... people tried to stop hailstorms by shooting arrows at the clouds. They thought that somehow this would stop these treacherous pieces of ice from falling. They also tried ringing church bells. They thought the noise would cause the hailstones to shatter in mid-air. Unfortunately, since we often have lightning with hail, those ringing the bells sometimes were struck by the lightning. But it didn't stop the hail. They also fired cannons with the same intent. Do you imagine I could stop a hailstorm by firing ...

1391. You Feed Them!

Matthew 14:13-21

Sermon

King Duncan

... limited resources. Matthew's story reminds me of another young man, 13 years old at the time, who read about Dr. Albert Schweitzer's missionary work in Africa. He wanted to help. He had enough money to buy one bottle of aspirin. He wrote to the Air Force and asked if they could fly over Dr. Schweitzer's hospital and drop the bottle down to him. A radio station broadcast the story about this young fellow's concern for helping others. Others responded as well. Eventually, he was flown by the government to ...

Romans 10:1-21

Sermon

King Duncan

... moment what it does to a person when he or she truly believes in Jesus Christ, that Christ died for our sins and that on the third day "God raised him from the dead . . ." Think how it would change our lives if that were as real to us as the air we breathe and the water we drink. We would have no more fear of death--no more uncertainty about life--no more hatred of people who have hurt us. Think what positive, dynamic human beings you and I could be if we truly believed that because Christ lives, we can ...

1393. Take Time To Say Thanks

Deuteronomy 8:1-20

Sermon

King Duncan

... . A PERSON'S ATTITUDE TOWARD HIS OR HER RESOURCES WILL DETERMINE TO A GREAT EXTENT HOW HAPPY THAT PERSON IS AND HOW EFFECTIVE THEY ARE IN BOTH THEIR PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LIVES. If you trust that God will provide, you are spared that desperate air some people have about their work. For some people, if you took away their work, you would take away their reason for existence. Their family, their health, recreation, worship--all these are secondary to the pursuit of the almighty dollar. Why? Because they ...

1394. Any Friendly Bears Out There?

Matthew 22:34-40

Sermon

King Duncan

They were on a military training exercise and they were getting bored. Still, it was surprising when the radio operators of the British divisional command heard a voice one quiet night breaking the silence. The voice asked over the air, "Are there any friendly bears listening?" After a moment, another voice replied, "Yes, I'm a friendly bear," and then another voice-- "I'm a friendly bear too!" At this point, the Officer at Divisional Command Headquarters grabbed his microphone and let loose a blistering ...

Mark 1:14-20

Sermon

King Duncan

... a new understanding of life, a new ministry or mission that will fill our cup to overflowing. To say to us while we are mending our nets, "Follow me." At fifty-two Bruce Kennedy was the chief executive officer of the highly successful Alaska Air Group, the parent company of Alaska Airlines. During twelve years under Kennedy's leadership, the corporation's revenues grew tenfold. When he took the helm the airline was floundering and nearly bankrupt. But in those twelve years he brought transformation to the ...

1396. Better Ignorant Than Uncaring

1 Corinthians 8:1-13

Children's Sermon

King Duncan

... Before modern medicine, people believed that knowledge came from a person's brain and that love came from a person's heart. Today we know that love comes from a person's brain, too, and that the heart is just a pump--like this bicycle pump. Instead of pumping air, however, the heart pumps blood. The heart is the most amazing pump in the world. If we take care of it, with a little luck it can pump blood over 600 times each day through all our blood vessels--which are more than 100 thousand miles long, by the ...

1397. Beginning Again

Ephesians 2:1-10

Sermon

King Duncan

... from a murderer to a minister. And so, Paul is not afraid to be honest in his letter to the Ephesians. "You were dead through the trespasses and sins in which you once lived, following the course of this world, following the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work among those who are disobedient." (Eph. 2: 1-2) You were dead--how's that for total honesty? Not just, "You were messed up." "You were morally challenged." "You were failing to self-actualize." No, Paul says, "You were DEAD ...

1398. Faith-based Living

John 6:1-15

Sermon

King Duncan

... . He was getting a second chance at life. (3) Reverend White heard God speak--and obeyed. Someone once said, "Delayed obedience is disobedience." As a great Christian once wrote: "Christianity is not a voice in the wilderness, but a life in the world. It is not an idea in the air but feet on the ground going God's way. It is not an exotic to be kept under glass, but a hardy plant to bear twelve months of fruits in all kinds of weather. Fidelity to duty is its root and branch. Nothing we can say to the Lord ...

1399. When Life Tumbles In

Mark 13:1-31

Sermon

King Duncan

... Rankin. The year was 1959. Rankin was flying over Virginia when his single-engine plane was caught in a storm. The plane's engines stalled, and Rankin bailed out over a field. But fierce winds caught Lt. Col. Rankin's parachute and flung him about in the air for forty-five minutes. While trapped in the eye of the storm, Rankin was pelted by hail and rain. The storm carried him over 65 miles to North Carolina before the winds died down and allowed Rankin to parachute to earth. (2) What a ride! What do ...

1400. The Voice Of The Lord

Psalm 29:1-11

Sermon

King Duncan

... assured, nobody has a voice exactly like yours. There are voice print machines that are amazingly accurate in identifying individuals simply and solely from the sound of their voice. We are our voice. In Emily Bronte's classic book Jane Eyre [pronounced "air"], Mr. Rochester is a disabled, blind man who is left alone after his mentally deranged wife sets fire to and destroys their house. His child's former governess, Jane Eyre, hunts Mr. Rochester down. When Jane finally approaches him, Mr. Rochester knows ...
