... owner of the vineyard, to intercede. Now, who do you suppose he represents? Hearing the gardener's plea for mercy, the owner grants another year of life and it is the gardener now who will tend this tree to see that it produces fruit. So, guess who we are in this story?

157. Seeds And The Kingdom

Mark 4:30-34, Mark 4:26-29

Sermon Aid

William E. Keeney

... . We need not be discouraged in the face of slow progress. The parable calls for continuing to scatter the seed, confident that God will produce the harvest in abundance. 3. Surprises in History. Humble and unlikely beginnings often have amazing results. Who could have guessed in advance that the actions of a merchant's son who took the vow of poverty and went about the country as a beggar would lead to a movement of spirituality that saved the church for the city in the thirteenth century? St. Francis ...

158. The Day The Spirit Came

Acts 2:1-13

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... had been one of the Apostles, boys and girls? (Let them answer.) Well, the Apostles weren't scared at all. As a matter of fact, for the first time they were really feeling brave and happy. They were so happy that they all started to talk at once -- and guess what happened? Each Apostle was talking in a different language! That must have sounded pretty strange, don't you think so, boys and girls? (Let them respond.) Just to give you an idea of how that must have sounded, I want each one of you to say your ...

Sermon

Paul E. Robinson

... same agony. Finally, Mr. Nichols struggled out of bed himself, and carried the dumbfounded man to the toilet, a small room with a simple hole in the floor. When he got back to the man's bed he said something to him that he assumed was "Thank you." You can guess the rest. From the time the sun came up that next day people were at his bed, asking for his leaflets and reaching out for the Gospel of Christ. All because he took a man to the bathroom. All because he treated him as a sacred child of God. Even ...

1 Corinthians 2:6-16

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... said that he had already been keeping the commandments for a long time. So Jesus told him that he should give all of his money away to the poor and come, follow him. Would that have been a hard thing to do, boys and girls? (Let them answer.) I guess the young man thought it was too hard to do because he went away very sad. But there are many Christians who have given away all of their money and other good things just so they could follow Jesus. The Apostles and other disciples did that. Many people probably ...

161. Jesus Our Rock

1 Corinthians 10:4

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... it would have been fun to walk through a desert, boys and girls? (Let them answer.) Why not? (Let them answer.) That's right. Deserts are full of sand. They are usually hot and very, very dry.

Well, there is. Let me tell you a little story and maybe you can guess what it is that can hurt more than boxing gloves. Once upon a time there lived a family -- a mom and dad and six children.

Can you guess who all these people are? (Open the book and show them a page or two. Let them guess.) These are pictures of my family! Here are my mother and father. (Show them.

1 Thessalonians 1:4

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... what this is? (Show them the wedding ring.) That's right, it is a ring, but it isn't just any kind of ring. This one is very special. When a person puts this ring on, he or she becomes a different person! Can you guess why this ring is so special, boys and girls? (Let them guess.) This ring is a wedding ring.

Judges 4:1-24

Sermon

Robert S. Crilley

... catch his breath; she suggests he take a nap. He doesn't wish to be disturbed; she makes sure he'll never move from that spot again. For as Sisera sleeps, Jael creeps quietly in and quickly disposes of him by the rather innovative (though I would guess somewhat arduous) technique of hammering a tent-peg through the temple and nailing his head to the ground! Of course, upon hearing the news, Deborah is as pleased as can be. Call it divine prophecy, call it woman's intuition, call it what you like -- but she ...

170. Love Without Limits

Matthew 15:21-28

Sermon

Roger G. Talbott

... that every time he thinks he has rid himself of racism, he finds another canister hidden inside his heart. People who say that they love all people just the same are so superficial that they aren't worth talking to. They haven't begun to learn about love. My guess is that they haven't even confronted the difficulty of loving someone of a different sex; a wife or a husband; or a person of a different age; a child or a parent; to say nothing of what it means to love someone of a different color or culture ...

JIM: I was even here on time for a change. Now it's your turn. PETE: I ... any increase in their membership? MARTHA: Yes, but the dramatic increase is in the church income. That's it, Pete.

Robert F. Crowley

... did was fill the paper bags with food and when the people filed past I would get to say a few things to them. JESUS: Right. And what about that program today? Are you still working with the poor? JANICE: No, the program was stopped. Lack of funds, I guess. JESUS: Too bad. JANICE: Yes, too bad. If you could have seen those people's faces when they picked up their bags -- I mean, well, -- there was some hope in their faces. JESUS: And you miss that. JANICE: I sure do.

LES: Well, nothing, I guess. He is God. GUY: Right. He is complete within Himself. MARLA: I get it. Then God doesn't need our gifts. LES: I guess not. (HE BEGINS TO EXIT) GUY: Wait a minute. Why not leave your gift on the altar and go and think about your intentions. MARLA: All right. (SHE LEAVES HER GIFT AND BEGINS TO EXIT) LES: No way ...
