Luke 18:1-8 The Power to PRAY

Last updated on: January 1, 2007 at 5:12 pm By Jim Erwin

Luke 18:1-8 The Power to PRAY Have you ever had a time when you really did not want to pray? Have you thought about praying and then said to yourself: “Why should I bother?” Jesus answers your question. He says you ought to pray because you need to pray. Christians need to pray. Christians need to pray like humans need to breathe. Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, (Luke... Read more

Luke 12:35-48 Responsible Service

Last updated on: January 1, 2007 at 5:10 pm By Jim Erwin

Luke 12:35-48 Responsible Service There used to be this comedian when I was young. His name was Leo Gallagher. He had specials on television and he would make observations about American culture. He was quite ironic. But his most famous joke was the “Sledge-O-Matic”. This was his joke about the “Ginsu Knives” and other hilarious late-night consumer product commercials that would come along. He was making a comment about the consumerism in the United States. His joke started like this:... Read more

2 Corinthians 9:6-15 The Ministry of Financial Giving

Last updated on: January 1, 2007 at 5:04 pm By Jim Erwin

2 Corinthians 9:6-15 The Ministry of Financial Giving OPENING ILLUSTRATION: What did you get for Christmas? Of course someone gave you something for Christmas. You gave someone else a gift for Christmas. We accept the fact that we exchanged gifts with one another. Let me tell you what I got for Christmas. I got a PDA. It is not new, but it was given out of love. I also got a new calendar for 2007. I also got a few... Read more

John 1:40-42 Making the Invitation

Last updated on: January 1, 2007 at 4:45 pm By Jim Erwin

John 1:40-42 Making the Invitation One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first found his own brother Simon, and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated, the Christ). And he brought him to Jesus. (John 1:40-42 NKJV) When we talk about our faith in Jesus Christ, someone will inevitably remind us that what we believe is fine for us but not for them. All this... Read more

Last updated on: January 1, 2007 at 4:40 pm By Jim Erwin

John 4:27-42 Sharing Your Faith When someone wants to introduce their faith to someone, there are generally two different approaches. The first approach is the “invitation” approach. This is the type of approach that someone uses when they invite someone to see Billy Graham. There is a ministry called “Fishers of Men”. This is a group of women who go to the places in the world where there are prostitutes. They dress like prostitutes and invite men into their room.... Read more

Ephesians 4:1-4 Sharing the Power of Hope I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 Announcing Jesus

Last updated on: June 2, 2018 at 12:52 pm By Jim Erwin

1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 Announcing Jesus As we gather here together in a new place and a new time, I want to ask you a question? How do you announce your loyalty to someone? Paul talks to a church that has proclaimed Jesus to other people. To proclaim simply means to announce. You see announcements in a variety of forms. You see an announcement on paper, when you read the newspaper. You can hear an announcement over a speaker, or on... Read more
