Sermon Outline – NT – NIV

“Large crowds were traveling with Jesus , and turning to them he said:

Luke 14:25-27

Intr.:

A.  ‘If anyone comes to me and

does not hate his

1.  father and

2.  mother, his

3.  wife and

4.  children, his

5.  brothers and

6.  sisters – yes, even his

7.  own life –

he cannot be my disciple.

B.  And anyone

who does not carry

1.  his cross and

2.  follow me

cannot be my disciple.'”

End:

In Receivership

I am looking at the pictures of a stunning property just now called “Lighthouse Lodge (In Receivership)”  in Northland’s biggest real state guide. Current to December 7, 2011.

When I read “(In Receivership)” two portions of the Bible came to my mind, namely Luke 14:28-30 and Luke 14:31-33.

Please find a BIBLE and read those verses.

In Luke 14:28-30 the Lord is asking “Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost………?”

And in Luke 14:31-33 he  is asking “Will he not first sit down and consider whether he is able to…..?”

“In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple.” – Luke 14:33!

JESUS the HEART of CHRISTMAS

JESUS THE HEART OF CHRISTMAS

The heart is the most central part, the most important part.

Before the Lord Jesus Christ worked as as a carpenter in the workshop of  his father in Nazareth, he created all the forests.

The BIBLE says in Colossians 1:16,17

“For by him all things were created:

Intr.:

things

1.  in heaven and

2.  on earth,

3.  visible and

4.  invisible,

5.  whether thrones or

6.  powers or

7.  rulers or

8.  authorities;

End:

all things were created

–by him and

–for him.”
