1. How Long Will You Limp? (Because God Is Tired Of The Bull)

1 Kings 18:16-46

Sermon

Carlyle Fielding Stewart

... the twelve tribes, and gave them the strength and wisdom to build the temple for God's glory. God is a God of action who would manifest God's power, presence, and majesty within human history. This was not a god of inertia and apathy, a god of lethargy and antipathy. This God promised to act and make good on his promises. Elijah knew God's promise to Moses that "I will be with you." God would act in time and space, and his faith in God buoyed Elijah's conviction that God would do so. When priests of Baal ...

2. The Highest Bidder

Ephesians 3:14-21

Sermon

Harold Warlick

... keep a peace that does not exist, and there can be no peace -- not between races, or national governments, or theological sparring partners -- until the dividing walls in human hearts, not merely veneers, are brought down. The Apostle Paul, reflecting on the centuries-old antipathy between Jews and Gentiles in verse 14, proclaims Jesus to be the world's only source of hope for human reconciliation: "For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall ...

3. Why Join the Church?

Acts 2:1-21

Sermon

Mark Trotter

... that way. They probably wonder what you are doing getting up so early on Sunday morning. I am sure they assume it is all right to visit a church now and then, on holy days, weddings and funerals, but why join the Church? There is also that antipathy in our time toward "organized religion." Most people would say that they are religious, in some fashion, but they don't like organized religion. That reminds me of Will Willimon's anecdote from when he was the pastor of a church in South Carolina. His members ...

4. Manual Labor Is Not the President of Mexico

Proverbs 6:6-8

Sermon

James Merritt

... demanding. Solomon said, "The lazy man will not plow because of winter..." (Prov. 20:4) It's always either too hot, too cold, too wet, or too dry to work. The point is, he always has an excuse. Thomas Edison, the epitome of a worker, and the antipathies to a sluggard, said, "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."4 Old Benjamin Franklin was right when he said, "I never knew a man who was good at making excuses who was good at anything else." The bottom ...

5. LENT: The Passion of Christ: "Denied!"

John 13:36-38; 18:12-27

Sermon

Billy D. Strayhorn

... for Peter to feel the full scope of that Forgiveness. But I believe, that in some sense, when their eyes locked for that eternal instant across that charcoal fire in the courtyard, that Peter didn't see condemnation at all. He didn't see ambivalence or antipathy or even empathy. I believe he saw compassion, love, understanding and most of all FORGIVENESS. And that's why Peter wept. He wept out of remorse and relief. Remorse for his weakness. Remorse for the pain it had to have caused Jesus even though Jesus ...

6. Prophesy Your Way Forward

Matthew 2:1-12

Sermon

Leonard Sweet

... magis’ question. Note that while Matthew’s text includes “all” of Jerusalem in Herod’s fear, and “all “ of the chief priests and scribes in this consultation, the gospel writer is alluding to the general culpability of these populations in Herod’s antipathy about a new ruler rather to any generic awareness of these events. Those who do respond to Herod’s inquiry provide him with the answer he seeks. “In Bethlehem of Judea” (as opposed to the lesser known Bethlehem located in Galilee ...
