"The Sermon begins with the essence of character, which is the foundation of all relationships and conduct. Who we are determines the influence we have and controls our conduct. Our conduct is based on right relationships with God, others, self, and the material world.
We Knew Him is a collection of monologues describing personal encounters with Jesus of Nazareth. The series began as talks for special occasions. Drawing on various resources, the author created this material for scripts and dramatic sermons. Here, readers will relive experiences of men and women engaging Jesus in one-on-one dialoguesome to love Him and others to hate Him, but all to be inspired and challenged by Him. In We Knew Him, the author invites New Testament individuals to tell their stories. Actually, the author becomes the characters, slipping on their sandals to relate accounts of how they knew Jesus.
Compilation of aphorisms, quotations, quips, illustrative examples to be used to illuminate sermon, teaching, and public speaking themes.
What if you could transport yourself back to the first century, walking the dusty streets of Jerusalem, late on Thursday night before Passover? And what if you were tagging along behind eleven men led by Jesus to the Garden of Gethsemane? You’d leave the Upper Room and go deep into the Kidron Valley to the garden. There the temple police and a half-crazed crowd arrive brandishing torches. Jesus is taken to the palace of Annas and then to the High Priest Caiaphas. What insight do we gain from history, archaeology, and most importantly the New Testament about where they lived? In the morning Jesus would be sent to the Chamber of Hewn Stone. What was this place and why is it important to the Passion narratives? On to Pilate’s Judgment Hall where new archaeological evidence questions its traditional location. You pick up the trail again on the Via Dolorosa and follow Jesus to Jerusalem’s killing field. There you find the Savior dying on a Roman cross. In just a few hours you have followed him from the Upper Room to Joseph’s tomb and have gained valuable insight into each stopover to help you on your own journey to Calvary.
As believers, we are often reluctant to admit there are things we cannot change. We wrestle and struggle to figure out how we can regain control, or we try to rationalize and understand why things happened. We pray. We expect God to change the situation. Yet, over time when nothing happens, we soon find that we have been robbed of our inner peace and joy. In Not My Will, author Brenda Poinsett shares the life-transforming lessons she learned from Jesus’ prayer life, practical lessons that have carried her and others through a range of unchangeable moments. Her unique perspective gives readers special encouragement as she answers the question, How do you pray about something you can’t change? In this book, regardless of your situation—job loss, personal limitations, terminal illness, or even the death of a loved one—you can learn how to come to terms with things that can’t be changed by looking at Jesus from His baptism to the Cross. Specifically, Brenda takes an in-depth look at the prayer of Jesus. Each chapter includes: • a significant quote that captures the essence of the chapter and sets the tone • a reflective exercise for application • a sample prayer
