July 29, 2007--Blessed are the poor in spirit, part 2

This sermon addresses two issues related to being poor in spirit--
#1. The difficulty of overcoming pride in our personal lives &
#2. Corporate/Congregational pride.

The Scripture reading is from Revelation 3:14-22, the letter to the church in Laodicea, a church that had settled for being lukewarm, middle-of-the-road, comme ci-comme ca, etc. Members of the church did not realize that they had pushed Jesus out...he is now standing outside knocking on the door, seeking a more intimate relationship with them.

This sermon focuses on what it means to be POOR IN SPIRIT, using the story Jesus told of the two men who went to pray one day from Luke 18:9-14 as a reference.

July 15, 2007--DOUBLE JEOPARDY, Part 2

In this sermon we look at a second factor that can keep us from experiencing the DOUBLE DOUBLE blessing that is available to us, namely, THE SNARE OF SIMPLICITY. Taking a clue from Jesus' words to Martha in Luke 10:38-42, the preacher plays Elisha and suggests a simple "solution" as well to all Naamans who seek healing.
