Showing results for "The Man" in Sermons

What makes a person great? In this series, Skip Heitzig takes a look at some of the most influential men in the Bible, noting both their failures and their faith.

Horatius Bonar shows himself as a very passionate hymnist in this sermon focusing on the Fig-Leaves Adam and Eve use to cover themselves after acquiring the knowledge of shame. He shares his views on how a fig-leaf, a pure and beautiful form of vegetation, can’t possibly shield Man from his loss of innocence. In Bonar’s mind, the one thing that can save us from the anger and wrath of God, is the rituals we now associate closely with the Catholic faith.

The essence of Christianity is to have faith. A blind faith, some would say, but Horatius Bonar takes this far away from the otherwise negative context it is used in. He illustrates how all the miracles, as performed by prophets such as Moses, were so great because of this unyielding faith being able to receive God’s full power.

This sermon is Archibald G. Brown’s exposition on Matthew 19:20. Brown examines the character of the young man asking the question, the nature of the question, and the answer given. He reveals that "doing" is not required since the religion of Jesus declares, "It is done."

Jesus: The Man and His Work, a lecture by the New Thought writer Wallace D. Wattles, offers a refreshingly different perspective on Jesus Christ. According to the author, Jesus of Nazareth was misunderstood by the people of his own time and grossly misrepresented by succeeding generations, especially by those who professed to be his friends and followers.
