Jeremiah 1:4-10

Sermon

King Duncan

... and me to do something, we rarely see the results of it immediately. We have to keep doing what we know He told us to do (running) and trusting that God will get us the results (the ball) somewhere downfield . . . If I were playing catch with NFL quarterback Tom Brady and he said, ‘Just start running and the ball will be there when you get there,’ I would trust him. He has 7 Super Bowl rings that prove he can sufficiently get the ball to a receiver downfield. “How much more can we trust God when He ...

2. Hungering for Some Time Off

Mark 6:30-34, 53-56

Sermon

King Duncan

... greater out there for me? . . . I mean this can’t be what it’s all cracked up to be. I mean I’ve done it. I’m 27. And what else is there for me?” The interviewer asked, “What’s the answer?” Brady responded, “I wish I knew. I wish I knew.” (5) I respect Tom Brady’s honesty. Even the most successful of us hunger for a deeper meaning to life. We hunger to know that we are loved. We hunger to know that our life has a greater purpose. We hunger for transcendence, for experiences that go ...

3. Are you a G.O.A.T.?

Matthew 25:31-46

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... Time.” Once a term reserved for public acclaim of a popular sports figure, today, the term has been used to declare the best of the best, or at least, those who believe, they are the best--folks such as Muhammed Ali, Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant--those icons of their craft, who are often universally lauded and praised by others as well as significantly self-proclaimed. The problem with icons however is the fine line between honored icon and self-elevated idol. What makes these figures so great ...

4. Which End Is Up?

Ephesians 3:1-13

Sermon

Leonard Sweet

... , one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. He titled the book Fran Tarkenton: The Scrambler. A year later Tarkenton himself wrote an autobiography of his life called Broken Patterns (1971). What made Tarkenton such a famous and formidable quarterback (the Tom Brady of his day--at the time of his retirement he held almost all the quarterback records) was that he knew what to do when the best-planned offensive plays broke down. The “plays” could “break” either because someone missed an assignment ...

5. Moving On Up

Mark 9:33-37

Sermon

King Duncan

A quick way to start a fight among sports fans is to ask who is the greatest. For example, since this is football season, who is the greater football quarterback, Tom Brady or Peyton Manning? Among golfers you might ask, how would Jack Nicolaus have done against Tiger Woods? To go back a few years, how about Magic Johnson and Larry Bird? I was reading recently about a Larry Bird fan named Eric Torpy. Let me tell you just how much Torpy ...

6. The Fruit of One's Doing

Jeremiah 16:1--17:18

Sermon

Harry N. Huxhold

... is in the Lord,” writes the prophet. Left to our own resources and relying on ourselves will always make us come up short. Tom De Haven penned a novel about the cartoonists in the era of the Great Depression. Titled Derby Dugan’s Depression Funnies, the story relates ... to ease the pain of the public during the Depression. The mythical team of Geebus and Brady produced the character of Derby Dugan. Brady produces a magic wallet for Derby that could produce a ten spot whenever needed. The public loved ...

7. The Commitment Question: Will You Lay Down Your Life For Me?

John 13:31-38

Sermon

Maxie Dunnam

... for a moment and then lamented, "My own throne is still vacant." (Bruce Demerest, Who is Jesus?, page 102, quoted by Hal Brady, "Do You Really Know Me?") That's a very sad word isn't' it. But the sadder word, and the sadder picture ... as servants. An African native was asked on one occasion by a missionary, "Do you know Jesus?" "No," he replied, "but I know Tom Lamke, a friend of His." Tom was living the style of Jesus. So that's the second lesser question that will help us answer the big question. "Will you ...
