You're Invited | A Sermon for Lent from Matthew 22:1-14Steve Thomason
Jesus tells the parable of a King who invites people to a wedding banquet. Who is this king, and how should we interpret this parable? This sermon explores two options for how to understand the invitation to which Jesus refers.
The Bible tells us that there is only one God and that there is only one mediator between God and mankind, Jesus Christ. In this Easter sermon, we will explore Jesus' role as mediator and see that although Jesus is the perfect mediator, we are not guaranteed a perfect outcome. We must receive the grace that is freely offered to us in order to be truly reconciled to God.

BIBLICAL SYNTHESIS
After reading the assigned Bible passages, synthesize these passages into a response to the following question: “What is the responsibility of Christians with regards to economic development, leadership within the community, and the mandates of the Gospel?”
MUST BE 600 WORDS
Biblical integration must be included in a thoughtful manner as articulated in the required
reading and presentations.
2. Citations from the required reading and presentation must be included in answering the
assigned questions.James 1:26-27New International Version
26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
Proverbs 29:7New International Version
7 The righteous care about justice for the poor,
but the wicked have no such concern.
Malachi 3:6-12New International VersionBreaking Covenant by Withholding Tithes
6 “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. 7 Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord Almighty.
“But you ask, ‘How are we to return?’
8 “Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me.
“But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’
“In tithes and offerings. 9 You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the Lord Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty.
Matthew 6New International VersionGiving to the Needy
6 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.Prayer
5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Fa ...
Part 1 of a 3 part series on stewardship. This sermon focuses on the Old Testament pattern of giving. It will shed some light on what tithing really is about.
Luke 6:38 Give and it will be given to you. Sharing with others. Doing good and showing concern. Doing good without the praise of men. Amount is determined by what you have left after you give. Giving is laying up treasure in heaven.

Connection; Why Does it Matter?
Week 1, Feb 2nd, Hans Rasmussen
Not everyone understands connection and sometimes that is because they don’t see its value. And initially, it can be difficult to explain its importance. Yet, over time any social group- weather it is family, community or work- the lack of connection takes its toll as those social groups that lack connection begin to falter or fall a part. This series will begin by trying to explain why connection is important and what its role is for creating legacy.

Hold on christmas, we aren’t done with thanksgiving yet! - Rob Ferry 11-27-16DenverCoC
The time for kids to dress up like Pilgrims and the Charlie Brown television special to air once again has come and gone. Thanksgiving is behind us. But should it be? The pressure to begin preparing for Christmas is already mounting - the shopping, the decorating, the making of plans for traveling or hosting. But what if we lingered a little longer and pondered a bit more on the heart of Thanksgiving before dodging headlong into Christmas? What might we learn? How might we benefit? And how might an enhanced level of gratitude serve you well though the Christmas season? Listen in to find out.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

How to have a generous heart -Hans Rasmussen -5-15-16

3. THE KEY TO THE
BLESSED LIFE IS A HEART
OF GENEROSITY.
24 One man gives freely, yet gains even
more; another withholds unduly, but
comes to poverty. 25 A generous man
will prosper; he who refreshes others
will himself be refreshed.
Proverbs 11:24-25
4. 6 Remember this:Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly,
and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
7 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give,
not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all
things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every
good work…
11You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous
on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in
thanksgiving to God.
2 Corinthians 9:6-8, 11
5. 1) THE BAG: NOT
ENOUGH.
…You eat, but do not have
enough;You drink, but you are
not filled with drink;You clothe
yourselves, but no one is warm;
And he who earns wages, earns
wages to put into a bag with
holes.
Haggai 1:6 NKJV
6. 1) THE BAG: NOT

4 The fruit of your womb will be
blessed, and the crops of your land

Your basket and your kneading
trough will be blessed. 6You will
be blessed when you come in and

12. Whoever can be trusted with very little can
also be trusted with much, and whoever is
dishonest with very little will also be dishonest
with much. 11 So if you have not been
trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who
will trust you with true riches? Luke 16:10-11
HOW MUCH CAN GOD
BLESSYOU WITH?
13. 9 Honor the Lord with your wealth,
with the firstfruits of all your crops;
10 then your barns will be filled to
overflowing… Proverbs 3:9-10
HOW MUCH CAN GOD
BLESSYOU WITH?
14. 16 And he told them this parable: "The ground of a
certain rich man produced a good crop. 17 He
thought to himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place
to store my crops.' 18 "Then he said, 'This is what
I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger
ones, and there I will store all my grain and my
goods. 19 And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of
good things laid up for many years.Take life easy;
eat, drink and be merry." ' Luke 12:16-19
15. "But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night
your life will be demanded from you.Then who will
get what you have prepared for yourself?' 21 "This
is how it will be with anyone who stores up things
for himself but is not rich toward God."
