2. The Devil Made Me Do It

Matthew 4:1-11

Sermon

David E. Leininger

... convinces men and women to look for a scapegoat instead of a Savior. After all, if I am not to blame for what I do, the cross on which Jesus died is much ado about nothing. How hopelessly out of date the old spiritual sounds to us: "Not my mother or my father ... me give you something that will work better... animal skins." Ah-h-h. What a relief. I remember a "Peanuts" strip in which Marcia telephones Charlie Brown: "Guess what, Chuck...the first day of school, and I got sent to the principal's office. It was ...

... . What’s your name? How many children have you?” She replied, “Well, let me see. My name is Mary. And then there’s Marcia, and Duggie, and Amy, and Patrick, and...” “Never mind the names,” he broke in, “just give me the numbers.” She straightened up ... ! Our forebears in the faith put it in an old Gospel song: But none of the ransomed ever knew How deep were the waters crossed; Nor how dark was the night that the Lord passed thro, Ere He found the sheep that was lost! “I am the Good Shepherd ...

5. IN THE BEGINNING ... THERE WAS LOVE ...

Drama

Marcia Millerf

This is a fantasy of one person becoming aware of another. It is considered biblical because at one time there was that first encounter. At the same time it must be remembered that each one of us has had that same first encounter; a time when we must admit there are other needs in the world beside our own personal needs, desires, and wants.

6. THIS MAN NAMED JESUS

Drama

Marcia Miller

This Man Named Jesus is designed to bring into focus certain biblical truths about the Son of Man and his mission on earth. It is a dialogue among three people, each of whom has a different point of view in telling about Jesus. First, there is a person who tells the story of Jesus and his ministry. That story is backed by the second person, who quotes Scripture. The third gives theological insight into what has been said. The Scriptures used are: Matthew 1:21; 3:2, 17; 13:13-15, 44, 57; 27:54; 28:19; Luke ...
