An Inconvenient Birth, Part II

Sun, 26 Dec 2010 10:30:52 -0600

Sunday Morning Sermon from the Schaumburg Church of Christ delivered on December 26, 2010. Entitled “An Inconvenient Birth, Part II". Lesson Summary: Mary's newborn babe brought changes to Israel and was destined to bring heartache and sorry to Mary, Joseph and others. In this study, we have examined Jesus' great invitation in Matthew 11. We traced back to the beginning of Matthew that the presence of sin in the hearts of men continues to disrupt His promised peace to all mankind. Can we as God's Christians avoid inconveniences because we are God's children? What is our sin doing to ourselves, others and to God? Scripture reading: Luke 2:33-35.

An Inconvenient Birth, Part I

Sunday Morning Sermon from the Schaumburg Church of Christ delivered on December 19, 2010. Entitled “An Inconvenient Birth, Part I". Lesson Summary: Jesus challenges us to learn from Him. How many of us really know Jesus? How many people really want to kwow Him?

Scripture reading: Galatians 6:9-10.

Change

Sun, 5 Dec 2010 10:30:56 -0600

Sunday Morning Sermon from the Schaumburg Church of Christ delivered on December 5, 2010. Entitled “Change". Lesson Summary: As Stephen powerfully led people to Christ through preaching the confirmed word with signs, the religious establishment was powerless in refuting his arguments from the Old Testament scriptures. Why are we resistant to change? We develop certain ways of thinking, a mindset, a value system. Change is difficult, even when we know that the direction habit has taken us is wrong. Scripture reading: Acts 6:8-14.

The Task of Self-Examination

Sun, 28 Nov 2010 10:30:28 -0600

Sunday Morning Sermon from the Schaumburg Church of Christ delivered on November 28, 2010. Entitled “The Task of Self-Examination".

They could finally acknowledge the sin in the immoral man of 1 Corithians 5, but they could not see that their attitude toward sin was not right (2 Cor. 12:19-21). The Corinthians were guilty of hypocrisy! Who approves of you--you or God? The church at Laodicea suffered from the same deficiency. Scripture reading: 2 Corinthians 13:5-6.

Psalm 92

Sun, 14 Nov 2010 10:30:03 -0600

Sunday Morning Sermon from the Schaumburg Church of Christ delivered on November 14, 2010. Entitled “Peace on Earth".
