Sermon

Lori Wagner

... and put his arms around him and kissed him. Then the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly, bring out a robe –the best one—and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!’ And they began to celebrate. Now his ...

You see we don't just wear this robe of faith on Sunday Mornings. We can't put it on during worship like a choir robe and take it off before we leave like our name tag. We have to put on Christ. Not just the outward appearance of a Christian, but the heart of Christ. We have to put on Christ from the inside out. So Jesus ...

Genesis 12:1-8

Sermon

Edward Inabinet

... a scourge of poisonous serpents had been unleashed, and they were biting the people and they were dying. And the people were brought to their senses and they repented and they called out to God for help, for salvation. Moses instructed them to form a brass serpent and put it on a pole and hold it up high so that as the people looked at that serpent on the pole they would put their faith in the work of God and be spared. Then Jesus said, "as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the ...

Luke 9:18-27

Sermon

James Merritt

... played the popular game known as “Texas Hold ‘Em” so you are familiar with the term “all-in.” At any time in a game a player can decide to put all of his chips on the table. He bets his entire stack; everything that he has to offer he puts it on the table win or lose. When a player does that he is saying to all of the other partners, “I am betting everything I have. I am committing all that I’ve got.” If you have ever heard the term “bet the ranch” that came from what would happen ...

Sermon

James Merritt

... his belief and of the doctrine, and is so equipped with the sayings from the word of God, that he can stand up against the devil and defend himself when men seek to lead him astray. If you will take the armor of God everyday, and from head to toe put it on, and then go do battle with the sword of the Spirit, you will live in victory. 1.

6. Table Manners

John 2:12-25

Sermon

Craig MacCreary

... into this truth. All of the commandments invite us to feast at the table of the Lord that requires both boards to hold everything. 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 In American parliamentary parlance, “to table” something is to put it in limbo, to put it off, to put it on the back burner. It is the opposite in Canada. To table something is to bring it into play. Of course in the holidays we want to bring as much into play as we possibly can. Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter is not the time to stint on anything ...

Galatians 2:11-21

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... .” Clothing yourself with Christ. Think about your day, who you are going to be with, what you have to do, the circumstances that may surround you. What aspects of Christ’s character do you need – patience? Put on Christ’s patience. Love? Put it on. Gentleness? Christ’s willingness to risk with another person? Put on those aspects of Christ’s character which you might need that day. Putting on Christ is not just a beautiful metaphor, it is the discipline to which we are called as Christians ...

Sermon

Phil Thrailkill

... it, it's not cheating." "I said to Mike that morning in practice, 'If we're no good in practice, I'll put this piece, the illegal piece, on. Probably 30 other teams are doing it.’" I was justifying it. "I got up under the car, I got halfway through putting it on, and that verse, 'Seek ye first the kingdom of God,' came flashing in red in front of me, and whoa, that was it. I said, 'I'm leaving this up to you, God.'" Shutt didn't put the piece on the car. McLaughlin won the race. It was Talladega, one ...

Instead, don’t you put it on its stand? For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.” “Consider carefully what you hear,” he continued. “With the measure you use, it will be ...

Proverbs 6:6-11

Sermon

James Merritt

... . If you only wait to do something when you think you have the time to do it, you will never have time to do it. For the important things in life you have to make time to do it. You have to schedule time to do it. You have to put it on that priority list that we talked about. You've got to say at this time, at this date, this is what I am going to do and this is when I am going to do it. I want you to stop and think for minute about an area that you ...

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin ...

12. Lose the Cape

Romans 13:11-14

Sermon

Charley Reeb

... you have lost your light, a great way to get it back is to reflect on these words of Jesus: “You are the light of the world! A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16 NIV) I believe that in these verses Jesus is telling us that ...

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... family whom he had so callously forsaken. Every step along the way, he rehearsed his speech of repentance. Now here he is back at home, the dirt of the far country not only upon his clothes, but crusting his soul. Then the miracle. Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put sandals on his feet. Get a ring for his finger. Kill the fatted calf. Let’s have a party. The miracle of forgiveness and acceptance. He still smelt of swine, but that didn’t matter. He was a son with the best robe on. Relationship ...

Luke 10:38-42

Sermon

King Duncan

... probably dying beside the road. A priest and a Levite pass by and they do nothing. But a lowly Samaritan comes by, binds up the man’s wounds, puts him on his donkey, takes him to a nearby inn and tells the landlord to take care of the man and put it on his tab. It is one of Jesus’ best known stories and it is a call to action. It is a call to duty. It is a summons to take care of your neighbor, whoever that neighbor may be. And for two thousand years Christians have been building hospitals and looking ...

16. Follow the Directions

Psalm 119:9, 18, 89

Sermon

James Merritt

... not even bring a Bible since we put the verses up on the screen. I so believe in the power of God’s Word and I so believe in the importance of people reading the Bible for themselves that if the only way they will do it is to put it on a screen, then I am going to do it. The question is raised, “Why don’t most believers, church attenders, and Christ-followers, read the Bible?” Over five million students from around the United States were asked why they weren’t reading the Bible. Here are the top ...

James 4:1-12

Sermon

Edward Inabinet

... from the side of the cliff here and I can just swing back under into the cave." And sure enough he did that. He kicked off and down he went right into the mouth of the cave. And then he untied the rope and he took a big rock and put it on the rope to keep it from swinging out of his reach. He knew that if he didn''t secure the rope, he''d have no hope of leaving the cave again. As he began to make some preparations, get his flashlight and all so he could go back farther in ...

18. Satisfied Customer

John 6:25-59

Sermon

James Merritt

... bread- bread for the soul. Only one bread can satisfy and only one bread will last. The crowd finally wises up and says the right thing. “They said to him, ‘Sir, give us this bread always.’” (John 6:34, ESV) If this bread really exists put it on the table and keep it coming. The lesson is simple. There are two kinds of bread you can eat: physical bread that is material that can temporarily feed the body and spiritual bread that is eternal that can permanently feed your soul. What Jesus wanted that ...

19. The Desperate

John 9:1-12

Sermon

James Merritt

... fact that he spit some of you mothers right now are saying, “Didn’t Mary teach Him better?” Here is what I want you to see. This man had never met Jesus. Out of the blue, without even asking for permission, Jesus makes a mud pie with His own spit, puts it on the man’s eyes and tells him to go wash in a swimming pool. This is the key, “So he went and washed and came back seeing.” (John 9:7, ESV) That is not the way it is supposed to work. What is the old saying, “Seeing is (believing).” Not ...

20. Your Image of Tomorrow

Matthew 3:1-12

Sermon

Leonard Mann

... voice we hear in the story is the voice of God, as God speaks to this man, saying, "You fool! Tonight your soul is required of you; and those things you have prepared, whose will they be?" God didn’t exactly mince words with this fellow. He really put it on the line for him. And right there in a few split seconds that farmer learned something which he hadn’t thought much about before, if at all. He had looked ahead, and he had felt very secure with the bountiful harvest which had been his. He believed ...

21. Money Matters

Amos 5:18-27

Sermon

King Duncan

... material possessions are the most important things in our lives. And that is one way of saying that money has become our God. We would give up anything except our comfort and security. Someone has noted that it is ironic that Americans take the motto "In God We Trust" and put it on our money, because if there is any people who trust in their money as much as they do their God, it is we. It can be a hindrance. Back in the days when $5,000 was a lot of money, there was a very poor woman who always tithed the ...

22. The Road No One Wants to Travel

Matthew 16:21-28

Sermon

Wayne Brouwer

... says, "Give me your shirt. I'll give you mine." The man's shirt hangs limp as he takes it off, but the Ragman's shirt hangs firm and full because one of the Ragman's arms is still in the sleeve. It goes with the shirt. When the man puts it on, he has a new arm. But the Ragman walks away with one sleeve dangling. It happens over and over again. The Ragman takes the clothes from the tired, the hurting, the lost, and the lonely. He gathers them to his own body, and takes the pains into his own heart ...

23. Light a Candle

Matthew 5:14

Sermon

J. Howard Olds

... of mine, I'm gonna let it shine Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. Matthew 5:14 says, “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on a stand, and it gives light to everybody in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before people that they may see your good works and praise God in heaven." Maybe it is time to let the light shine in life. The time is right. If ever ...

24. How Moses Handled Stress

Numbers 11:4-35

Sermon

Mark Trotter

... said to God, "I don't need this. Do something." That brings us to our text. God said to Moses, "Take seventy of the elders and go to the tent of meeting, and I will meet you there. I will take some of the spirit which is upon you and put it on them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so you will not have to bear it by yourself alone." What an amazing passage. First of all just for its practical advice. Stress is the result of carrying too much weight in your life. Just ask an ...

Sermon

Will Willimon

... buy a suit, a fine suit. So, he went to Sears Roebuck and ordered a suit. A week later, when the suit came, he put it on, but it was cut all wrong. A sleeve was six inches longer than the other. One of the legs of the trousers was nearly a foot short. ... He took the suit back to the man at Sears to complain. "The suit's all wrong," he said. "Put it on," said the clerk. "Now, let's see. Pull your left arm up like this. Yes, and drop your right arm down a few inches. Right. ...
