Faith

The books of 1 and 2 Samuel describe Israel’s transition from the rule of judges to the reign of kings. First Samuel 8 narrates a pivotal scene in this account, with the people pressuring Samuel to appoint a king. In This Sermon, Dr. Wright draws out the lessons from: 1 Samuel 8:4-18 (NRSV)

Envy - Desire - Give Us A King

Jesus said the world would rejoice at His death. Why? Because death would prove that He was not the Son of God; it would prove that He was only a self-proclaimed savior who was now dead. Death would prove Him false. And being dead, His demands would not be binding; they would be meaningless. Men would not have to do what He said: deny themselves and give all they were and had to Him. They would not have to go and give all they had to meet the desperate needs of a lost world.

The Confusion & The Clarification

Acts 1:21-26 (NRSV) 21 So, 22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us—one of these must become a witness with us to his resurrection." 23 So they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias. 24 Then they prayed and said, "Lord, you know everyone's heart. Show us which one of these two you have chosen 25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." 26 And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles. 1 John 5:9-10 (NRSV) 10 Those who believe in the Son of God have the testimony in their hearts. Those who do not believe in God have made him a liar by not believing in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son. Dr. Wright built a bridge between these two scriptures to show and prove how important our beliefs are.

The Complete Picture

After the service a lady who attended simply said thank you for that Message! I had tears in my eyes! In this sermon based on John 19:25-27 and Colossians 3:12-17 Dr Wright drew on the lessons from the experiences - Since Jesus’ mother is also present at the wedding at Cana (2:1-11), she is a witness to the beginning and end of Jesus’ incarnate ministry. - The experience - The assignment - The obedience - The result ( sustained you until the end of your life) .

This was a sermon preached at the Purcell Methodist Church Street Service

The Open Air Service

Forewarned, forearmed; to be prepared is half the victory. (Spanish proverb) To be prepared; to be instant; to be ready; to be persistent; to be insistent. The word "prepared" (epistēthi) means to "take a stand, to stand upon it or up to it, to carry on, to stick to it" In this sermon Dr. Wright draws the lessons out of Mark 14:1-16

Preparation meets Results

Based on Jeremiah 31:31-34 Dr Wright speaks on what the scriptures declare that there is a new and better way with the New and Better life in Christ!

A New and Better Way

The basis of God's love is His nature. God is love (1 John 4:8, 16); therefore, He loves. He acts, demonstrates, and shows His love. Love acts; it expresses itself. Love does not sit still, doing nothing. It is not dormant, complacent, inactive. If love actually exists, it has to act and express itself; it has to do something good. Love is loving; that is, love is always demonstrating love to others. Therefore, God's love acts and reveals Him to be love. The word gave (edōken PWS: 1641) has a twofold meaning. God gave His Son to the world, and He gave His Son to die. The idea of sacrifice, of great cost, is in both acts. It cost God dearly to give His Son up to the world and up to the cross.

Look Believe Live

Ecclesiastes is a work of Wisdom Literature a genre of writing widespread in the ancient world. Wisdom Literature aimed to provide instruction about life, though it often raises as many questions as it answers. In the case of Ecclesiastes, the answers themselves can be more troubling than the questions.

The High Cost of Low Living

Isaiah 60:1-3 (NRSV) 1 Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. 2 For darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise upon you, and his glory will appear over you. 3 Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. The Ingathering of the Dispersed - Transitioned to - Lodestar of the nations.

Arise Shift Fulfill!

Acts 8:26-36 this passage stresses the importance of an individual to God. A miraculous act was needed. God is seen leading Philip to a single person who needed to know Christ, and in the interview between the two we have a strong study on witnessing. We see just what is involved in witnessing to an individual. Dr. Wright expounds on this passage and also speaks on the fact that the Bible is a Book Of Inclusion

Book Of Inclusion

Jesus had just spent a Sabbath in feverish activity. Early in the morning of the next day, he set aside a time of prayer by himself. By the time the disciples found him, he was ready to face the next challenge. We must follow Christ’s example by making time for personal prayer. Those who help and serve on Sunday especially need to set aside time with God to restore their strength. Our ability to serve will be hindered if we neglect times of spiritual replenishment.

Refuel

So we live in this tension: God’s grace frees us to choose as we please, but God’s love requires us to pay attention to our conscience. What we eat, where we live, how we spend time and money, what entertainment we pursue—almost everything we do affects others (8:10–13). We must ask ourselves whether we treat them with disregard or with love.

Shades of Gray

Dr. Wright draws out the lessons from 1 Corinthians 7:29-31. Dr.Wright draws out the lessons from 1 Corinthians 7:29-31. Paul instructs the Corinthians to view marriage, sorrow, joy, possessions, business, and service in the light of the new era which the Christian faith has inaugurated. Christians should understand that as the present form of this world passes away (v. 31), the coming of God's kingdom continues and touches all aspects of human life
