    Just Like Us (Part Seven) Series

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 25, 2019
     | 5,217 views

    Today we close out the series on seeing how the people of the bible are just like us. We've looked at Abraham, Samson, Elijah, Joshua, David, and last week we focused on Peter. Today, we'll finish by looking at Paul. Let's see how he was just like us.

    JUST LIKE US (part seven) Last week we looked at Peter. Peter was the foremost of the Apostles. He was a leader and devout follower of Jesus. He withstood persecution and was bold and courageous in contending for the faith. Tradition indicates that Peter met his fate being crucified upside down ...read more

    When God Says No

    What is it that you expect from God when you pray? What answer do you expect to receive?

    WHEN GOD SAYS NO Introduction: What is it that you expect from God when you pray? What answer do you expect to receive? Surely most of us phrase our prayers in such a way that all God has to do is say, "Yes, yes my child." Most of the testimonies that we hear are such that God says, ...read more

    Seated At The Table Of Brokenness

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Feb 22, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 15,050 views

    Is there purpose in my pain? Does God care when I hurt? By examining the life of the Apostle Paul, we can gain an eternal perspective of why God allows us to be broken by the trials of this life.

    “I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. And I know that this man was caught up into paradise—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— and he heard things that cannot be ...read more

    The Ministry Of Thorns

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 24, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,256 views

    Often people feel like they are disqualified from ministry because they have some weakness or trouble. The very opposite may be true; their weakness may especially qualify them to be used as God best vessel. Our weakness becomes His strength.

    THE MINISTRY OF THORNS 2 Cor. 12:7-10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: UNTIED SHOE 1. Boudreaux saw Thibodaux on the wharf and noticed one of his shoelaces was untied. “Watch out you don’t trip up over your laces, Thibodaux.” 2. Thibodaux replied, “Yeah, it’s the crazy instructions on these shoes.” ...read more

    Turning Thorns Into Roses

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jun 3, 2018
     | 6,570 views

    The decided weakness of Paul, which he called his “thorn” was kept vague so everybody could relate to whatever type of aggravating affliction, discomfort, constant temptation, emotional or physical or bouts.

    14B Elif Shafak wrote “be thankful for every thorn that others might throw at you. It is a sign that you will soon be showered in roses”   1). The thorn “thrown”at Our Lord in our Gospel reading today was actually the rude comments by his hometown folks who dismissed him as being “all too ...read more

    Prayer (Part 2) Series

    What do you do when God says no? In 2 Corinthians 12, Paul sets an example by praying about his problems, praying with persistence, and discovering the true power of prayer.

    Prayer (2) Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 3/1/2015 Last Sunday we began a brief series on prayer. In Matthew 6, Jesus reveals four secrets to a successful prayer life, urging us to pray sincerely, pray secretly, pray simply, and pray securely. But even when we follow ...read more

    Thanksgiving

     | 62,417 views

    In the Bible, giving of thanks goes far beyond an annual American celebration on a day we remember to thank God for a multitude of blessings. It is a preoccupation of every Christian and extends even to those elders who are "before the throne" in heaven.

    Note: I have some simple, not fancy textual slides I used with this sermon. If anyone is interested, I'll send them directly by email if you'll send an email to me at sam@srmccormick.net with the subject: Thanksgiving slides. THANKSGIVING I.

    God's grace can sustain us in the midst of our pain.

    We live in a painful world. Turn on the news and you’ll hear a long list of stomach churning and tear jerking events, such as the evil we saw on display recently with the Las Vegas shooting.

    Grace: It’s So Much More Than God’s Favor

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 8, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 19,714 views

    In 2 Corinthians 12:9 the Lord tells Paul "My grace is sufficient." If God's grace is all Paul needed to deal with the messenger from Satan, perhaps there's more about grace that we need to know and understand.

    I have been reading 2 Corinthians 12 about the Apostle Paul and his pleading with God three times to handle “a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan” sent to stop him from preaching the gospel. The Lord’s response gives me goosebumps. “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for ...read more

    hang on to God when things don't change

    Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong .
