Here’s the sermon from Sunday, April 3. We know that adults should behave like adults. But Jesus says there is a time when being childlike is a good thing.

Upside Down – Sunday Sermon
Jesus says the one who wants to be first must be the servant. That’s a big difference from the common worldview that “I” am number one. Here’s the Sunday lesson taken from Mark 9. I hope it encourages and instructs.
Sunday’s Sermon
Here is our Sunday morning lesson which is called Heart Transplant! Last week we examined Jesus’ charge that we must purge out that which is evil or corrupt from our hearts. Today we examine the opposite which is to fill your heart with goodness. That goodness will be expressed through your works and activities for the Lord. I hope this lesson is helpful. As always, comments are welcomed.
New Bible Series Coming…
Look for more information later this week about a new series of Old Testament Bible Lessons from the Book of 1 Kings. This marvelous history of God’s people has very real and powerful messages for our world today. I think you will enjoy these lessons which will be presented every Sunday night through November.
How to Listen to a Sermon
Every week, people sit through a half hour or more of a sermon on Sunday morning and another one on Sunday evening. But some feel that they didn’t get much out of the lesson. It may seem that time could better be spent doing something else like singing or praying. Some congregations have almost no preaching at all and, truthfully, their members reflect a terrible spiritual weakness. Preaching is an integral part of every worship service. John the Baptist came preaching (Matthew 3:1), Jesus came preaching (Mark 1:14), the 12 apostles went preaching (Mark 6:12) and even the members of the Jerusalem church scattered throughout the world while preaching (Acts 8:4). Paul was a powerful preacher who proclaimed the Gospel while rejecting fanciful ideas of philosophy (1 Corinthians 2:3-5). The church of Christ, bought and paid for by the blood of the Savior (Acts 20:28) began with a sermon from the apostles (Acts 2:4ff). A properly preached sermon will proclaim truth to men and lift up Jesus before the eyes of the lost.
With the importance of the sermon in mind, we offer some practical ways to help the listener approach the sermon and use the proclamation of God’s word to change their lives. Continue reading How to Listen to a Sermon
