    How does God deal with us during those times we feel we can't go on?

    I want to talk this afternoon about ‘losing faith’. Sometimes, as we go through life, maybe even now, we’ll face a shaking of our faith, a testing so severe our faith is eclipsed, we feel we’re losing it! We feel that our struggles are too deep, Our problems are too difficult, we’ve prayed but ...read more

    Today I want to preach another sermon that can be preached in any church in America, and it would apply to most of the people in any congregation. I hope that as I preach the Word it will fall on good soil today.

    Illus: I heard of a preacher who was preaching a three-point sermon on the Second Coming of Christ, and he would close each of the main points of the sermon by saying, “HE IS COMING, READY OR NOT!” When he got to the third point he got so excited he got on the edge of the pulpit and screamed, ...read more

    The pandemic seems to go on forever. Instead of getting better, Covid is getting worse. Many are becoming discouraged and depressed because of lockdowns and other guidelines that give us limited mobility.
