Sermons About Submission
Viva La Difference
Cartoon character Pepe Le Pew once observed that there is very little difference between women and men, but viva la difference. But in fact, there is a great deal of difference between women and men, particularly in the way that they process life. Men, in particular, face a particular besetting sin that must be battled at all cost. This sin is pride. Discover how to fend it off. Key Verses: Eph 5:22-23, 2Chron 1:1-12, 1Kings 10:23-29, 1Kings 11:1-12, Eccl 2, Due 17:14-20

In this story Korah and some 250 chief priests challenge the authority and leadership of Moses and Aaron. In the end God opens up the ground and swallows up Korah and his followers.

Living the Cross-Life
As we seek to be salt in our community, we need to allow God to stretch our perspective into a larger picture. And as God stretches our understanding and shows us what He is doing, we need to be willing to submit to His guidance. Choosing to follow Christ means we have chosen to live the 'cross-life' (term borrowed from R. Foster's "Celebration of Discipline")

Yours for Life
Proverbs 18:22 reminds us that he who finds a wife, finds a good thing, and gains favour from the Lord. Marriage was intended to be the most intimate of all human relationships, a friendship that endures for a life-time, and a secure shelter when everything around us seems to crumble. But for far too many, marriage has become a difficult path to walk. Because it is such an "up-close-and-personal" relationship, it is impossible to avoid the knowledge that your spouse is not perfect. Imperfection is fine! UNTIL it begins to impact MY LIFE! And so the hard work begins; the work of making the union of TWO IMPERFECT people become a beautiful dance of romance, respect, and mutual submission.

God's One-Flesh Design for Marriage: Paradigm, Parable, Paradise
In contrast to the world's focus on "compatibility" in marriage, the Bible establishes a one-flesh paradigm that reinforces mutuality rather than self-satisfaction. This paradigm is echoed in the New Testament and, when understood and practiced, results in a God-pleasing marriage that returns both husband and wife to a sense of "paradise" as God originally intended them to enjoy.

Countercultural Submission
The gospel calls for Christians to both lead and follow in countercultural ways. Leaders are to lead out of a sincere desire to serve others without any motivation to serve themselves. As they do so they are to be examples to the flock of what it means to follow Jesus in the city of man. They are not to do this for any earthly reward of any sort. They are to do it because they will one day stand before the Chief Shepherd who will give them an eternal reward. Likewise, God calls Christians to submit to the leaders of the church. Peter specifically mentions young people, since they are most likely to resist submission, but his command is applicable to everyone. Both leaders and followers are to be clothed in humility before God and each other. This is easy to say but impossible to do. Leaders often lead from the wrong motivations because they feel that above all they need to protect themselves and look out for themselves. Those under their care often resist submission because they also feel they need to protect themselves and look out for themselves. But Peter tells us how we can become the people he describes. Instead of looking out for ourselves we are to "cast all our anxiety on him because he cares" for us. When we truly believe that Jesus is our Chief Shepherd we can cast all of our cares on him and obey his commands to lead in humility and submit in humility.

2 Sameul 15 - The Politics of Impatience
Absalom leads a consiracy to take over the throne of Israel from David by becoming impatienct with God and his will. His Scheme seems to work as David decides to feel Jerusalem. The Author brings out the teme of impatience with God in this chapter through the following contrasts: 1) a Me-First Strategy vs. a Humble Strategy, 2) Godless Ambition vs. Self Sacrifice, 3) Rebellion vs. Submission, and 4) a Selfish Perspective vs. a Honest Perspective. One will learn that being impatient with God is like catching a knife on the wrong end - it will hurt. Like David Jesus crossed the Brook of Kidron to pray and accept the will of God. Are you more like Absalom or David and Ittai when it comes to your trust in the will of God? Listen and find out.

Who Calls the Shots?
To start off, Ritchie asks the question, 'How can you say you worship God when you are seeing someone else?' Worship is more than what takes place in a service such as singing, preaching or prayer. According to the apostle Paul, worship is submitting every faculty of your being to God because of His grace and mercy that He's given you. He wants to have complete control over your life. The heart of worship is in His sacrifice on the cross for your redemption.

Countercultural Power
Submission can be a bad word in our culture. When we think of submitting we think of relinquishing control and losing power. We identify submission with weakness. Yet God calls his people to view power and weakness differently. He calls his people to exercise their power by living lives of submission. Listen in as we discuss how and why God's people are to live this way.

Have It Your Way?
We live in a Burger King world. We are used to having it our way. Unfortunately, this has spilled over into our faith life. Many have been tempted to custom build their own unique faith and values. We are not the first to have tried this. Israel tried it many times throughout their history. It never worked. It won't work for us either. Key Verses: Jer 2:10-17, John 14:6, Phlp 2:21, 4:12-17, 1Thes 4:1-8, Acts 17:16, Acts 20:17-24

The Key to Effective Intercession: A Living Sacrifice
V. Living Sacrifice - A Biblical Truth • As Christians, we're called to give ourselves to God as a "living sacrifice." • I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:1-2) VI. Living Sacrifice - Dying to Self • How do we truly present ourselves to God as a living sacrifice? 1. We must die to our prior selves.

Religion That Pleases God (Mark 11:27 - 12:44)
Religion that pleases God is 1) rooted in the teaching of scripture, 2) rooted in Jesus himself, 3) impacts all of our earthly allegiances, 4) knows the God of the scriptures, 5) is the overflow of a love for God and our neighbor, and 6) results in real sacrifice.

Submit To All Human Institutions -- 1 Peter 2:13-17
How are those who believe in Jesus to relate to human government. While a good question during times when the government is friendly to Christianity, it is a vital question if one lives under a government that is either corrupt or seeks to destroy the church. This sermon seeks to look at just this question.

The Discipline of Family
Family is a God-ordained institution. Our conduct and participation in family is orchestrated and guided by God's word. Ultimately, God creates and calls us to participation in family as a gift of His grace for our good. Participation in family as a spiritual discipline helps us to grow in our understanding of and ablility in: 1. Submission - as we learn to be under authority we then learn to use authority (Luke 2:41-52) 2. Sacrifice - families force us to deal with our selfishness and learn to live a life of love (John 2:1-12) 3. Service - In family we learn to fulfill our responsibilities as agents of God. (John 19:23-30 While most of us have eperienced at least some level of dysfunction in our family units, often leaving wounds and emotional scars, Jesus expands the intstitution to include all people who hear the word of God and do it. In other words, the church - the body of Christ - is to function as family. Our participation in church then, offers us a place to not only heal, but to continue to grow in the disciplines of family, learning submission, sacrifice, and service.

Light My Fire
What does it mean for a husband to love his wife like Jesus loved the church? How would this affect communication between husband and wife, and about our spouse outside of our marriages? What would it mean for courtship? What does it mean for a wife to submit to her husband? Doesn't this sound like abuse? In the end, we will remember the love Christ showed towards us.
