Sermon Series Idea - The Jesus Sermon

My pastor, Bruce Grubbs, and I were brainstorming a sermon series based on Jesus' "Sermon on the Mount" in Matthew 5-7. I thought you might like to see what we were working on. All I have are sermon titles and the dates. You might consider getting together with a couple of pastors are develop content together.

Jan 13 - The Jesus Sermon: The Foundation for Life (Introductory)
Jan 20 - Jesus on Blessing: The Foundation for Happiness 5:1-12
Jan 27 - Jesus on Influence: the Foundation of Doing Good 5:13-16
Feb 03 - Jesus on Sin: The Foundation of Righteousness 5:17-48
Feb 10 - Jesus on Hypocrites: The Foundation of Integrity 6:1-18
Feb 17 - Jesus on Anxiety: The Foundation of Security in Christ 6:19-34
Feb 24 - Jesus on Relationships: The Foundation of Serving Others 7:1-12
Mar 02 - Jesus on Eternity: The Foundation of Good Choices 7:13-27

Note: We are considering following these with a sermon series to coincide with Max Lucado's "3:16 Church Experience" beginning on March 16 (03/16). I've been using the member book for my quiet time and have found it to be very meaningful.

Car Talk's "As The Wrench Turns" Premieres this Weekend

Image
My family is a huge fan of the NPR program Car Talk . So, I am stoked to see that they have an animated program featuring Click & Clack, the Tappet brothers. Here's a summary from the website: Tom and Ray Magliozzi, the didactic duo whose voices grace the NPR airwaves on the ever-popular radio show Car Talk, have moved themselves into the world of animation with the all-new primetime series Click & Clack's As the Wrench Turns . The program takes off from the hit NPR show and follows the on- and off-air escapades of Click and Clack, the Tappet brothers (alter-egos of Tom and Ray Magliozzi) as they try to fix cars, fend off disgruntled customers and seek out increasingly creative ways to goof off. Click & Clack's As the Wrench Turns is set at Car Talk Plaza, a fictional building that houses their radio studio and their famed garage in Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts. You'll have to check your local station for the schedule. Nashville's WNPT Cha...

Fireproof movie Garners Multiple Endorsements from Marriage Advocates

ALBANY, Ga., March 27, 2008 - " Fireproof ," the new action/relationship film from the creators of "Facing the Giants" and "Flywheel," releases this September from Sherwood Pictures and Provident Films. Already the movie is uniting marriage advocates from across the U.S. National groups such as Focus on the Family, Outreach, FamilyLife, The Marriage CoMission, America's Family Coaches, AMFM, Marriage Alive Communications, and MarriageToday endorse the movie and are urging their constituencies to see it. Influencers such as marriage expert Gary Smalley and Bubba Cathy of Chick-fil-A are also working to spread the word. It's no secret that U.S. marriages are in crisis. The U.S. Census Bureau and marriage organizations vary on the stats but agree that nearly half of all weddings lead to divorce—with rates highest in the Bible belt. Some 25 percent of U.S. adults divorce at least once; and given the abundance of poor marriages, many couples skip it out...

Preaching through the Bible in a Year - 2 Plans!

Image
I'm reading through the Bible again this year using George Guthrie's Reading God's Story: A Chronological Daily Bible plan. In 2011, our entire church used the reading plan in response to the Radical sermon and small group series we did at the end of 2010. I'm was delighted to see Aaron Linne's Blog post about a new online resource with lists of sermons inspired by the Read the Bible for Life initiative. These lists from B&H Publishing are designed so that you can take a church through the Bible in a year. They currently have a plan prepared by David Platt (52 sermons) and Chuck Maxwell (50 sermons). Check the tabs at the top to switch between the two lists. Access the complimentary lists of sermons here ... Learn how to use this resource on your iPhone, Android, or tablet here ...
