In the “My3” Discipleship plan, you are asked to write out your three-part testimony and share it with the three people you circled on your prayer list. The goal of sharing your story is to testify to the grace and mercy of Jesus and to tell people how they can become a Christian. Ideally, theContinueContinue reading “But, What If They Say…?”

A Simple Plan to Share Your Testimony
Many Christians want to share the gospel with others and make disciples, but they do not know how. In our sermon today, we shall discuss a practical method[1] that we can use to regularly share the good news of Jesus Christ with others. What Do I Say? My Story. Every Christian has a story toContinueContinue reading “A Simple Plan to Share Your Testimony”
Thy Kingdom Come (Luke 17:20-37)
In our text from the Bible today we have a question about when the kingdom of God would come. In Jesus’ answer, He not only talks about when, but where, how, and why. Let us look together and Jesus’ answer and may it help us “seek first the kingdom of God” (Matt 6:33). When andContinueContinue reading “Thy Kingdom Come (Luke 17:20-37)”
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)”
The Lost Son (Luke 15:11-24)
A Man Had Two Sons… I want to tell you a story about a man who had two sons: Jim and Tim. The youngest son, Tim, came to his dad one day and said, “Dad, I know that when you die I am going to get some money. Can I have the money now?” HisContinueContinue reading “The Lost Son (Luke 15:11-24)”
God’s Lost & Found (Luke 15:1-10)
In our text this morning, we come to two parables of Jesus: the parable of the Lost Sheep and the parable of the Lost Coin. These two parables are practical stories that communicate great spiritual truth. While the two parables are different, they both vividly illustrate the truth of John 3:16: “God so loved theContinueContinue reading “God’s Lost & Found (Luke 15:1-10)”
Renounce All You Have (Luke 14:25-35)
Have you ever considered what it was like to be Abraham when he was told to sacrifice his only son (Genesis 22)? Actually, you are told to do what Abraham was told. No, you are not told to sacrifice your child. But you are told (like Abraham) to renounce all that you have and thusContinueContinue reading “Renounce All You Have (Luke 14:25-35)”
