  • Help! My Church Isn't Growing

    Contributed by Bob Gillchrest on Jul 7, 2005
    based on 64 ratings
     | 19,818 views

    What does the Bible say about why a church isn’t growing and how it can be corrected.

    Help! My Church Isn’t Growing In many ways pastors and churches are judged by whether or not their church is growing. It becomes painful to admit to the brethren that we haven’t seen growth in a church we pastor - whether addition by baptism or transfer. What does the Bible have to say about ...read more

  • Healing The Hurts In Families

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jun 4, 2001
    based on 104 ratings
     | 14,466 views

    Healing the relationships in our homes involves 1. Honest confession. 2. A willingness to stop the things that hurt the other person. 3. Opening our hearts to them once again and allowing them to come in.

    In the Scripture reading this morning, we find one of the most dysfunctional families in the Bible. The irony is that it is a family led by one of the most godly men in the Old Testament — King David. David is described as a man after God’s own heart (1 Samuel 13:14), and he was. But he was ...read more

    How much do you really love Jesus?

    Will You Die For Christ? Last week, we celebrated our liberty mostly by consuming large quantities of BBQ, beans and assorted other standard fare. A few of us may have reflected on our founding fathers and what the holiday was supposed to be about. Most just saw it as a day off from work and ...read more

  • Scars That Never Go Away

    Contributed by Darrell Jones on Mar 19, 2003
    based on 61 ratings
     | 4,657 views

    Even though we are saved and our sins are forgiven, we can still bear scars that are a direct result of choices we have made.

    Read the story of David’s moral failure. Notice even after David acknowledged his sin he still paid the consequences. It was a scar that would not heal. Introduction: the Bible in 1st Peter 5:8 tells us "the devil as a roaring lion is seeking whom he may devour or destroy, and we are to be on our ...read more

    Contributed by Dean Meadows on Mar 13, 2004
    based on 50 ratings

    This is a sermon about the proper way to serve God. There is a difference between being a cook and a cook in the white house. And there is a difference between being a servant and a servant of God.

    Who Are You Serving 2 Samuel 15:15 Here we read about the loyalty of David’s servants. Absalom (David’s own son) was starting an up an uprising against David. Absalom apparently resented being ignored by his father and resented his brother Ammon going unpunished for the raping Tamar. Absalom ...read more

    This is about God’s forgiveness.

    Last week we looked at the sin of David. He had an affair with the wife of one of his best soldiers. She wound up pregnant. He tried to cover it up.

  • The Grief Of The Father

    based on 54 ratings
     | 20,383 views

    This sermon relates the grief of David over the death of Absalom to God’s grief over our sin.

    Turn with me to 2 Samuel 18. Read 2 Samuel 18:24-33. Here we see a sad picture. King David is well advanced in years. He is no longer the young vibrant man that he once was. He is a broken man. The years had taken their toll on this once strong warrior. He had seen his family fall apart ...read more

    How does a Christian deal with grief and loss?

    Every Christian deals with loss and grief at some time during their life. It might come in the form of the death of a loved one, the loss of a financial position, the loss of good health or the shattering of dreams. When this happens, we naturally ask, "Why?" and along with the original loss, we ...read more

    based on 90 ratings
     | 23,068 views

    David asked, concerning the fate of his rebel son Absalom, "Is the child safe?" It is a question parents of today and the church of today needs to ask.

    32And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Cushi answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is. 33And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he ...read more
