1. Anointed Ministry
Isaiah 61:1-11
Sermon
Ron Lavin
... you make a sale, moreover, to your friend, or buy from afriend, or buy from your friend's hand, you shall not wrong one another... So you shall not wrong one another, but you shall fear your God; for I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 25:10-17, NAB The jubilee was a time of restoration and refreshment for the land and for the people. It was a time to recall God's graciousness and for God's people to be gracious. The jubilee was a time of generosity and forgiveness because God is generous and forgiving. For ...

... no bridges, some places are too wide to swim, others too narrow to wade, they must go to a good crossing spot. The order has been given to all the Gileadites to slay any Ephraimite on the spot. Naturally they go to the crossing places of the river to nab them. Their problem is that they don’t know how to tell the difference between a man from Ephraim and one of their own men. They all looked the same, they all dressed the same - how to tell friend from foe is the dilemma. Then the Gileadites remembered ...
3. "Hands Off!"
Exodus 20:1-21, Luke 19:11-27
Sermon
Bill Bouknight
... to the other and says, "All along, I thought our level of corruption fell well within community standards." What a commentary on community standards! There are hundreds of ways to steal. Just consider all the words we have for it: gyp, lift, loot, nab, pinch, pluck, pilfer, snatch, swindle, embezzle, defraud, and plagiarize. Stealing can be as direct as a woman putting on three slips in a fitting room, putting her dress on over them, and walking out. Or, stealing can be as complicated as borrowing money ...

... along with that man. This is the mystery and power, a real Christianity. Remember those often repeated and seldom heeded words of Jesus: "Trust me when I tell you that whoever does not accept the kingdom of God as a child will not enter into it" (Luke 18:17 NAB). When the disciples asked him who was the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, he placed a little child in their midst and said the same thing (Matthew 18:1-3). Jesus also insisted we must be born again. (John 3:2) He kept repeating the same truth. He ...

... Mr. Rich; second, they also were very sure that Mr. Rich had stipulated these transactions. If they thought Dirk was doing this thing on his own and Mr. Rich found out about their collaborations, they could be thrown in jail! Partners in a swindle all nabbed the punishment. It all happens very quickly. The contract for 800 gallons of olive oil is cut in half; the bill for a thousand bushels of wheat is reduced by two hundred. Actually, each of these slicings has about the same monetary value: roughly 500 ...

... the text. "Bring a bulletproof vest." The week-long "International Bounty Hunter Ride-Along" costs $1,800, not including transportation, food, or lodging. After qualifying and signing a waiver, participants help conduct surveillance. They watch as "bail enforcers" kick in doors and nab fugitives. Although a bust isn't guaranteed, the tour leader says there is a good chance clients will see action.

... officer stumbled into the grove of trees. There, lying at his feet, were the quickly developing Polaroid photos of the culprits. The officer knew he must be less than a minute behind them because the developing process was just finishing. The two boys were nabbed about a half-mile away as they photographed squirrels. But they were still having problems. They would shoot a photo, look at it, and toss it down, grumbling, "Darn camera doesn't work!" The trail of photos they left behind worked better than a ...
