    The Prescription For Pride

    Contributed by Stephen E. Trail on Mar 11, 2013
     | 5,388 views

    A sermon that speaks to the dangers we face from pride.

    “A Prescription for Pride” 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 ********** (2Co 12:1) It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. (2Co 12:2) I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether ...read more

    A Splinter From Satan.

    Contributed by Larry Turner on Apr 7, 2014

    Like a splinter barely under our skin, circumstances can be painful. But how can we tell if it's just life or God?

    Have you ever got a splinter in your finger or your foot? It sticks out just enough to be irritating but not far enough to pull it out. Every time you brush against something, it sends pain through out your body. I know when this happens to me I try to ignore it. I hope against hope that some how ...read more

    I Demand This Thorn Removed.

     | 6,841 views

    THIS THORN HAS A PURPOSE. The real revelation of suffering. God has a plan and a purpose. Suffering can reveal the heart OF MAN, not just the heart of God. Suffering can be a door to Presence of God. Suffering can be fertilizer for love.

    I DEMAND YOU REMOVE THIS THORN NOW! By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com THORNS HAVE A PURPOSE, FEW EVER LEARN OR UNDERSTAND THE PLAN OF THE THORN... 2 Corinthians 12:5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. 6 For though I would desire to ...read more

    Experiencing Grace

     | 10,580 views

    Paul’s life example ought to give us incredible encouragement to God’s power. We must submit under the GRACE of Christ before we can ever really live and must see ourselves for who we are before we can experience freedom.

    Experiencing Grace 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 Introduction - This morning, I’d like to discuss a word that is used often in church - It is a word that has several meanings to several, but the same beginnings - Jesus suffered and died to bring this entire creation the GRACE of God - For the ...read more

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

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 8, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 19,775 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 .

    The Heart Of God Series

     | 7,543 views

    We base so much of our lives on our feelings about God, and wonder if God cares, does He have a heart for me. This message begins to look at that issue in our lives.

    BELIEVING and not BELIEVING The Heart of God May 21, 2017 We're in the final part of a four-part series I called Believing and not Believing. Our focus has been to look at obstacles, beliefs which are incorrect which ultimately lead us away from believing in God, even while we do believe. We’ve ...read more

    The ability to be weak in the presence of God is an invitation for His Presence to be strong within us.

    2 Corinthians 12:9 Joke: A job applicant was asked, “What would you consider to be your main strengths and weaknesses?” “Well,” he began, “my main weakness would definitely be my issues with reality. Sometimes I have a little trouble telling what’s real and ...read more

    Crawling forward is still advancing.

    2 Cor 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

    Thanksgiving

     | 62,851 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.
