The Story of Rufus’ Mother (Romans 16:13)
Mother’s Day is a special day. It is a day where we pay tribute and honor mothers. Mothers are special and they know a lot. For example, Mothers know that when you hear a child flush the toilet and say ‘uh oh’, it’s already too late. Mothers know a 3-year old boy’s voice is louderContinueContinue reading “The Story of Rufus’ Mother (Romans 16:13)”
A Word for Husbands (Ephesians 5:25-26)
Husbands, we need to have a talk. We need to have a talk about what God says about who we are and what we do. Did you know that in Ephesians 5:23 and 1 Corinthians 11:3, we are called “the head of the wife”? What does that mean? First, let me tell you what itContinueContinue reading “A Word for Husbands (Ephesians 5:25-26)”

Palm Sunday: Hosanna! (Mark 11:1-11)
Today is known as Palm Sunday and on it we take time to remember Jesus’ Triumphal entry into Jerusalem to the shouts of “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!” (Mark 11:9-10). It is called Palm SundayContinueContinue reading “Palm Sunday: Hosanna! (Mark 11:1-11)”
The Good & the Not So Good (Luke 16:16-17)
Our verses this morning are Luke 16:16-17. It reads: “The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone forces his way into it. But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law toContinueContinue reading “The Good & the Not So Good (Luke 16:16-17)”
Those Rotten Pharisees! (Luke 16:14-15)
I have never met a Christian who likes the Pharisees. In fact, I would be shocked if someone came up to me and said, “I think the Pharisees were actually the good guys and Jesus was too harsh with them.” Christians recognize that the Pharisees, as a group, were religious hypocrites. They said one thingContinueContinue reading “Those Rotten Pharisees! (Luke 16:14-15)”
True Riches (Luke 16:9-13)
Last Sunday we discussed “You and Your Money”. Using the parable of the dishonest manager from Luke 16:1-8, we were reminded of three (3) principles concerning money and possessions: 1) it is not your money, 2) you are a manager of God’s money, and 3) you are accountable for how you manage God’s money. TheContinueContinue reading “True Riches (Luke 16:9-13)”
You and Your Money (Luke 16:1-8)
Parable of the Dishonest Manager In Luke 16:1-8, Jesus tells us about a rich man who employed a man to manage his money and accounts. The manager was dishonest and was charged with wasting his master’s possessions. When the charges were brought to the master, he ordered the manger to turn in “the account ofContinueContinue reading “You and Your Money (Luke 16:1-8)”
The Other Lost Son (Luke 15:25-32)
Last week’s sermon focused on the parable of the “Prodigal Son” from Luke 15:11-24. It was entitled “The Lost Son” because it dealt with the younger son who went to a far away country and “squandered his property in reckless living” (13). It was easy to identify this son as lost because his outward actionsContinueContinue reading “The Other Lost Son (Luke 15:25-32)”
