5 reasons why I follow Jesus – New Years Day Sermon (21 Minutes)

Published by Steve Netniss on January 3rd, 2012 - in Preaching, Sermon

There are endless amounts of reasons and discussions about Jesus. In this sermon I tried to give 5 reasons within a reasonable amount of time. I recognize that this conversation has been going on long before I came around and long after. I do not pretend to give 5 definitive or unquestionable reasons but rather 5 reasons within a reasonable amount of time. I hope this sermon encourages those who follow Jesus while creating points of conversation with those who don’t. This isn’t the last word, it’s another word on a conversation that’s been going on for over 2,000 years.

Sermon – The One Voice

Published by Steve Netniss on May 11th, 2011 - in Bible, Featured, Preaching

This sermon deals with the many conflicting voices in life. How should one deal with all the different voices and which voice is the most important one to listen to? The Apostle Paul, one of the first Christians had to live with the tension of many different voices who appeared to be speaking for God. In the end he made a difficult decision that I think we can learn from and be challenged by. Which voice rings the loudest in your life? The text is Acts 21:8-14Open Link in New Window. This sermon was preached at First Presbyterian Church of Duncanville on May 8th 2011.

Why Johnny Can’t Preach

Published by Steve Netniss on March 31st, 2011 - in Books, Preaching

I just finished reading the book “Why Johnny Can’t Preach” which is about what has happened to preaching over the last 50 years. The main point the author makes is that most preachers don’t have the sensibilities to appreciate art and therefore do not preach mentally stimulating messages that challenge and encourage.

Relgious People

“Religious People are like referees they never break a sweat, they never score any points, they never feel the highs and lows of the game, they just run around blowing their whistles. And when they retire nobody cares.”

UPDATE!

Published by Steve Netniss on September 29th, 2009 - in fun, Preaching

Hey friends,

It has been a long time since I have posted but it is because I’ve been going through a huge transition and I haven’t been able to get around to the blog.

In the mean time I do have some topics which have been floating around in my head and therefore will eventually blog about. I am going to list them below. Please feel free to comment on which one you’d like to read my thoughts on.

1. How to live the single life well.
2. Jesus was resurrected, so what?
3. The scope of salvation in the New Testament. In other words, (can a person lose their salvation and what are some different ways of approaching that question.)
4. What was John Lennon thinking?
5.Preaching REality

6.  Slumdog Millionaire

7.  A solution to proof texting.
