Temporary Residents on a Journey

Last updated on: June 14, 2018 at 3:29 pm By Jim Erwin

Temporary Residents on a Journey Temporary Residents on a Journey is a simple thought reflection from 1 Peter 1:1 contrasting the difference between temporary residents and citizens on Earth and Heaven. “Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ: To the temporary residents dispersed in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, chosen” (1 Peter 1:1, HCSB) Peter calls his audience temporary residents. A temporary resident is someone without citizenship in the place they live. Instead, they are considered a temporary resident –... Read more

Matthew 24:32-44 Jesus Christ Is Coming to Town Matthew 24:32-44 Jesus Christ Is Coming to Town is a sermon about how Jesus is coming back for His Second Coming. IMAGE #1 – Fig Tree (This Generation) (24:32) No one knows the “day or the hour” (24:36), BUT we should know the “times and seasons” (1 Thessalonians 5:1-5, Hebrews 10:24) What is the length of time for this generation?

Isaiah 2:1-5 Sharing Hope in a Hopeless World

Last updated on: December 1, 2013 at 5:23 pm By Jim Erwin

Isaiah 2:1-5 Sharing Hope in a Hopeless World The origins of this sermon came from my Lectionary reflection “Sharing Hope in a Hopeless World.” Are the nations “streaming” to God’s House? (Isaiah 2:2) You look around at the culture and see Godlessness in a seemingly hopeless world. Are the “many peoples” joining together to go to God’s house to get God’s instruction on a matter? (Isaiah 2:3) You look around at the people and see people abandoning God’s house and... Read more

Jealousy of the Holy Spirit and Keeping God’s Attention

Last updated on: November 26, 2013 at 10:00 pm By Jim Erwin

Jealousy of the Holy Spirit and Keeping God’s Attention November 26, 2013 Year A The Scripture says that the Spirit yearns jealously. Exodus 20:5 refers to the jealousy of God. God is a jealous God. Isaiah 42:8 and Isaiah 48:11 both say that God does not share His glory. So there is this sense that God is jealous and does not want His attention in our lives taken away from someone or something else. The Spirit wants us to focus... Read more

Mark 8:34-38 The Cycle of Discipleship

Last updated on: June 14, 2018 at 3:21 pm By Jim Erwin

Mark 8:34-38 The Cycle of Discipleship The Christian life may begin with at the mountain top, but it travels along the valley. Look with me at the beginning of this set up. The disciples are with Jesus at the top of a mountain. Peter makes the great confession – that Jesus is the promised Redeemer of Israel. He is the Savior who will save the people from the oppression. ““But you,” He asked them again, “who do you say that... Read more

Leviticus 19:9-18 How to Love Your Neighbor

Last updated on: November 10, 2013 at 3:41 am By Jim Erwin

How to Love Your Neighbor Leviticus 19:9-18 The main thought in these verses is 19:18 “but love your neighbor as yourself.” The reason why I am to love my neighbor is because God says of Himself: “I am Yahweh”. The main reason why God is the reason I can love other people is because God is loving. The word “BUT” separates the CONTRAST between unlawful/ungodly behaviors and the main behavior which Christians should exhibit. The ungodly behaviors are noted with... Read more
