    Discover where to place your hope to give you strength through helpless moments in life

    Someone recently asked me if a particular phrase came from the Bible. The phrase was something like this, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." I replied that this phrase is a non-biblical cliché. Because many Christians quote this ...read more

    It's Not What I Wanted

    based on 85 ratings
     | 3,533 views

    Nobody wants the gift of adversity under the Christmas tree--but sometimes we get it, anyway. Question is, what do we do when we get it?

    Some of you may be wondering if the preacher is one episode shy of a mini-series by preaching from Job during the Christmas season. What does a suffering man have to do with the season of good cheer? Plenty. There’s a dark side to Christmas that most of us don’t like to admit. I knew a man who ...read more

    Your life is sacred. It is special. It is a gift of God. Give it a chance.

    INTRO: We don’t deal openly with some social problems. We think they will go away if we ignore them. They don’t go away. Suicide is one such problem. We don’t talk about it often. It is shocking. It leaves us speechless. It leaves us helpless and we don’t have the slightest idea how to deal with ...read more

    Job Chapter 3 Series

    Contributed by Fran Van Hoven on Jul 20, 2007
    based on 9 ratings
     | 33,439 views

    Job is still trusting in the mercy and love and grace of God and he still refuses to do what Satan is trying to get him to do: curse God and die.

    Job is the story of a man undergoing a very severe testing of his faith. As we saw in Chapters 1 and 2, Job was unaware that he was the subject of a test and he experienced a tremendous series of calamities that wiped out all that he held of value. In one tragic day he lost all his ...read more

    Fearing Fear

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 15, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 20,075 views

    Delivered 1986. Fear is often a self-fulfilling prophecy, based on our image of a vengeful God. But challenging God is faith-filled, and His response is Jesus, who experiences all that we experience.

    The trouble with preparing sermons in a series that lasts several weeks is that I am never quite sure whether I am the only one who knows where we are in that series.

    Pour out your heart to God in times of Despair; seek consolation in his love for you.

    The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. He eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and ...read more

    Dealing With Discouragement Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jun 11, 2017
     | 7,155 views

    We can learn one definite lesson from Job's lamenting on his situation: Be encouraged that Jesus has already provided a way for you. Do not allow yourself to fall into the trap of thinking all is lost – it isn’t!

    Dealing with Discouragement Job Sermon Series, Part 4 Introduction (Job Slide) - After Job’s worst day ever, Satan challenges God to stop protecting Job -- Satan proclaims that Job’s saving comes from the charge: “Skin for skin!” -- The meaning of this is: Job will do anything to save his ...read more

    Job 3

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 16, 2019
     | 5,448 views

    Job had kept his hurt within himself because there was no one else with which to share it, but when three of his friends came to him, he finally began to vent. Chapter 3 shows us that when we are unable to understand God's reasons, we must still trust in His wisdom.

    We have been talking about the book of JOB, which some scholars believe to be the oldest book of the bible, and written by Moses as he wandered the deserts. So far, in chapters 1 and 2, we see where Satan got permission from God to attack Job. The only stipulation was that Satan would not cause ...read more

    Please open your bibles to the Book of Job…… We have noted so far that Job was a godly man who was enjoying life with family and all his possessions.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 409 views

    Explore the themes of trouble, hope, joy, and freedom in the context of Job's suffering, emphasizing that while anxiety and suffering are inevitable, we have the choice not to be imprisoned by them through faith in God.

    Good morning, church family! There's a quote by Max Lucado, that I want to share with you this morning. He once said, "The presence of anxiety is unavoidable, but the prison of anxiety is optional." That, my friends, is where we find ourselves today in the book of Job, chapter 3, verses 17-20.
