Legalism, Hypocrisy & Deception (Luke 11:45-54)

Hypocrisy in the Body (Luke 11:37-44)

Jesus told the Pharisee, the outside of his cup was clean but the inside was filthy.  God knows the outside and the inside, and when they don't match, we've become hypocrites.  One of the main reasons unbelievers won't associate with Christians is the issue of hypocrisy.  But, we shouldn't be searching the church for hypocrisy, without first looking into the mirror.  Grab your notebooks and bibles and listen in as Pastor Jimmy Hicks talks about this sensitive subject.

This Little Light Of Mine (Luke 11:33-36)

Light is an oddity...without it we cannot see yet the brightest sun cannot enable the blind to see!  We gleefully sing about light..."I Saw The Light" & "This Little Light Of Mine"...this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine; Praise the Lord I saw the light.  But is it TRUE OF US?!  What if this little light of mine is actually darkness?!  What if we claim to have seen the light & the light in us is actually darkness?!  That's what Jesus warns in Luke 11:35!  Grab your Bible & listen in as Pastor Buffy Cook teaches us to examine "This Little Light Of Mine," being sure the spiritual lamp we're seeing by is spelled J-E-S-U-S, our spiritual eyes are healthy & not diseased and that what we think is light within us is not indeed darkness.

No Neutral Ground - Part 2 (Luke 11:14-32)

Neutrality = a virus that plagues that our world & unfortunately has infected the church!  We, the church, need a fresh inoculation of God’s Word that we might be vaccinated against this deadly dz of neutrality!  No better place to find such than in the 11^th chpt. of Luke as our Lord teaches a crowd following His exorcism of a demon.  Listen in as Pastor Buffy Cook teaches the 2nd of a 2 part message that teaches us that with the Christian life, there is "No Neutral Ground."

No Neutral Ground - Part 1 (Luke 11:14-32)

We live in a culture that increasingly espouses “The Myth of Neutrality.”  Everybody gets a trophy…all winners; every view is equally valid…no absolute truth; gender/sexuality…multiple & fluid; culture war…no moral absolutes (Judges 21:25).  Sadly, the church instead of influencing the culture has allowed the culture to influence, yea, infect her! Neutrality = a virus that plagues that our world & unfortunately has infected the church!  We, the church, need a fresh inoculation of God’s Word that we might be vaccinated against this deadly dz of neutrality! No better place to find such than in the 11^th chpt. of Luke as our Lord teaches a crowd following His exorcism of a demon.  Listen in as Pastor Buffy Cook teaches that with the Christian life, there is "No Neutral Ground."

The Parable Of The Good Samaritan - Part 2 (Luke 10:30-37)

What is your favorite parable of Jesus'??  For many, it is The Parable Of The Good Samaritan.  Margaret Thatcher once said, “No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he’d only had good intentions; he had money as well.”  While we find that humorous, it does challenge us as to WHY is The Parable Of The Good Samaritan SOO well remembered?!  It's WAY MORE than "it's good to help folks in need."  Grab your Bible, turn to Luke 10 & join Pastor Buffy Cook as he preaches the 2nd of a 2 part message on The Parable Of The Good Samaritan.
