    Hanging In There Through Temptation Series

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Oct 8, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,413 views

    Temptation comes to all of us. But, like Christ, we can counteract temptation and resist it in the power of the Holy Spirit.

    James 1:2-4, 12-17 Is there anyone who has not been tempted to sin this week? If so, you may leave now. You can go straight to Braums. One of the truly great historical characters was Mark Antony. He was known as the “silver-throated orator of Rome.” He was a brilliant statesman, magnificent in ...read more

    Hanging In There Through Anger Series

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Oct 8, 2007
     | 2,005 views

    Anger is a God-given emotion. And all anger is not sin. But we need to control our anger so as not to destroy us from being the people God want us to be.

    We are following the theme: Hanging in There. Tonight I want us to look at the subject, “Hanging in There Through Anger.” Thomas Jefferson once wrote some rules for living. “When angry count to ten before you speak, if very angry, count to a hundred.” Seventy-five years later, Mark Twain, the ...read more

    The Truth, The Whole Truth, Nothing But The Truth

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 21, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 16,435 views

    The tragedy of the church today is that we have only proclaimed a partial message. The proclamation of salvation without repentance is a tragedy because it is a mockery to the cross. But the proclamation of salvation without the Holy Spirit is the greates

    King David was one of the most perplexing paradoxes of biblical history. • He has been called the highest star in the Old Testament. • He has provided our most beautiful scriptures in the Psalms. • He was the greatest King of Israel. • His life was such a paragon of all the virtues of leadership ...read more

    based on 11 ratings
     | 5,786 views

    Through the experience of Elijah after Jezebel’s threat and his subsequent despair we can learn some ways to hang in there.

    In a certain household the family cat brought a mouse into the house. The father was going to do away with it. The children were mortified that Papa would do such a thing. So he waited until they life the room. Then he saw a glass of water on a table and he dropped the mouse into the glass. Later, ...read more

    Hanging In There Through Loss Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,313 views

    Job teaches us that through loss, God responds to us as a father shaping, molding and blessing even in the pain.

    We are here tonight once again following the theme, Hanging in There. I want us to look at the subject, Hanging in There Through Loss. The loss of something special is always grievous. Those who study grief have learned that grief has a pattern. At times that pattern is longer for some than it is ...read more

    Five areas of mistakes that we commonly make and the answer for how to deal with them according to Psalm 31.

    Hanging in There Through Mistakes apr1998p Psalm 31 One of the strangest phenomena of our time is that of the bumper sticker. It tells you so much about so many different people. It communicates a message. I have been a little wary of Christians who wear their mottos or their slogans or their ...read more

    Transformed Or Deformed

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 17, 2007
    based on 10 ratings
     | 8,170 views

    God expects us to be transformed into the image of Christ. To refuse to do this we remain deformed in the image of the world.

    In November of 1977 we adopted our son Kevin. As Kevin grew, he would occasionally want to sleep in our “king-sized” bed with us. We were used to having our dog in bed with us, and the addition of Kevin added little to the problem. Before too long, Kevin preferred to sleep in the big bed with Mom ...read more

    Too Close For Comfort

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 14, 2007
     | 3,810 views

    Jesus confronts our prejudices and comfort levels by exposing how we treat those who are disadvantaged. Our actions speak louder than our professions of faith and faithfulness.

    Throughout my ministry, people have come to me with situations that need resolution in the third person. These people have said to me, “Pastor, I sure wish my friend could have been here today to hear that sermon. He really needed that one.” Often it’s a wife, or a husband. “I wish my husband had ...read more

    The Dynamite Of The Cross

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 14, 2007
    based on 8 ratings
     | 13,897 views

    The dynamite (power) of the cross is displayed in the reaction of the centurion at Calvary’s cross. This is displayed through the righteousness and royalty of Christ, the response of heaven and the witness of the centurion’s own heart.

    The Bible does not give us many facts about activities of the centurions. In fact, centurions are referred to only four times in the Bible. Matthew 8 records the story where the centurion asked for his servant to be healed. “Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the ...read more

    Faith: What It Ain't—what It Is

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 14, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,821 views

    This passage in Hebrews gives us the ingredients, implications and illustrations of faith. By defining what faith isn’t, we can learn what true faith is.

    The eleventh chapter of Hebrews is one of the best known of the great chapters of the Bible. It has been called the “Westminster Abby of Scripture” because the heroes of faith are enshrined here. Perhaps that is a misnomer, for some people who have been to Westminster Abby and have said it seemed ...read more

    Living On The East Side Of Jordan

    based on 14 ratings
     | 8,580 views

    God did not allow Moses to lead his people into the Promised Land because of the sin of disrespect of God. Many people allow sin in their life to restrict them from God’s promises of blessing.

    How would you like to be remembered? Chances are, one of these days, unless the Lord returns soon, someone will have the task to write an obituary for you. In a seminary class, on "Pastoral Care of Grieving Persons," Dr. Dickens instructed us to write our own obituaries. What would you say about ...read more

    When Death Seems Better Than Life

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 12, 2007
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,965 views

    Suffering is part of the experience of everyone’s life. Consequently, the suffering question is one of the most profoundly disturbing factors today.

    For the first eight years of my life, I lived on the south side of Dallas, TX. Across the street from us lived the Hicks family. They had four children, all of them older than we were, but we occasionally played with them, until they got too big for us and then we moved away. When I was in the ...read more

    The King's Business

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 11, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,036 views

    As believers in Jesus Christ, we are to be about His business and that business is the sharing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

    Back in Luke 9:51, we’re told that Jesus had set His eyes toward Jerusalem, and He was on His way. A crowd of people traveled with Him through all the stories that Jesus has been telling on this journey. They’re following Him to Jerusalem, and now they’re almost there. They are at Jericho, which ...read more

     | 4,173 views

    When you face Jesus you must decide whether or not you will receive as Lord and make Him your Master.

    Do you ever find it interesting, concerning some people who claim faith in the same Lord that you do? If you were to ask them, "If you die today, are you going to heaven?" they would say, "Yes." Yet, there’s so much difference in the level of commitment, such a vast difference in the way they live ...read more

    Is It Worth It?

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 11, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,150 views

    Is it worth it to follow Christ? Is it worth it to live faithfully? Is it worth it to give faithfully? Paul’s answer is, "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."

    This message is based on three verses: Romans 8:18, 26, 28. The Bible states that those who sell out to Jesus Christ have the power of God at work within them. We’re not going to be living perfect lives. All of our lives, we’re going to be saying with Paul, "Wretched man that I am! Who will set me ...read more
