Sermons About Scandal
Peter Gerts One Right
This statement about his body and blood is the turning point in Jesus’ ministry; the place where he went from being just a curiosity or a miracle worker, to becoming a scandal. The Greek word for “a scandalous one” is “scandalon.” In English bibles, it is usually translated “stumbling stone.” When we compare Jesus to a “stumbling stone” what we mean that there is a time when everyone encounters the person of Christ and has to pull up short – the time when there is a choice to be made to believe him or not, to follow him or leave.

Little Church: Big God
Today we finish our series Little People: Big God. We've seen over the past several weeks that God loves to call ordinary people to extraordinary lives. In today's passage, we see that God loves to do this because it keeps things in proper perspective. It forces us to recognize that God is God and that we are not. It keeps all the attention on Jesus and His sufficiency. It gives God all the glory. God has called each of us to extraordinary lives. He desires each of us to walk in faith and trust Him. He calls each of us to do things that are beyond our abilities because when He helps us to do these things it will show off His power.
