    Intro: One of the most common faults among those who claim to be Christians is that of having wrong priorities in this life.

    You'd be surprised at how many people God greatly used in their latter years. This message looks at several who had God-filled senior moments!

    SENIOR MOMENTS! 2 Corinthians 4:15-18 (KJV) "For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light ...read more

    The gospel message is hidden from those who are spiritually blind.

    Text: “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them” (2 Corinthians 4:3-4).

    In this sermon, we discover what kept the apostle Paul ticking even though he took a licking. Four "f"s kept him going - foundation, force, faith, and focus.

    Introduction: A. I like the story told of the boxer who went to his corner after getting knocked down in the first round. 1. His trainer patted him on the back and said, “Great round. Now go back out there and get him. He hasn’t laid a glove on you.” 2. The boxer was a little confused by that ...read more

    There was hand-to-hand combat in the corners, but he still could turn to God. When you can't look this way or that you can always look up! Link inc. to formatted text, audio, PowerPoint.

    Down But Not Out 2 Corinthians 4:8-18 http://gbcdecatur.org/sermons/DownButNotOut.html We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair [2Cor. 4:8]. Paul is making a comparison here. He says, "We are troubled." That is a comparative degree. But he says, ...read more

    Today’s world is filled with energy-saving devices that make life easier, but there is something to be said for embracing life’s challenges. The apostle Paul found serving Christ hard, but he didn’t see it as a cause of discouragement. The goal was worth

    This is a great message for anyone wondering about these topics or dealing with the loss of a loved one; it gives an encouraging Biblical insight into death and eternity while focusing on the life that perspective will motivate today.

    Eternal Perspective This past week was difficult. Life is short You aren’t invincible Gulvas schedule, Last week as were were sitting in this room...the story. Death is final!

    Is God bending, shaping, or polishing me right now? What’s my attitude: Am I thanking and praising God, or am I complaining about the process? Trials are intended not to provoke us but to prove us. See the present from the perspective of the future. Look

    Opening illustration: The Steinway piano has been preferred by keyboard masters such as Rachmaninoff, Horowitz, Cliburn, and Liszt—and for good reason.

    Are you real? That might seem like an obvious question but consider the lengths you go to in order to present yourself as "all together" to your friends and brothers and sisters. Being impressive by appearance can actually impede both your growth in the L

    We talk a lot about natural human behavior and how that often runs counter to the real life given to us in Jesus Christ. Today I want to talk about your image. In our natural state we try really hard to present a good image to the world. We try to clean up, dress well, and act civilly. Beyond that, ...read more

    An Eternal Weight Of Glory Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,734 views

    We should be grateful for God’s earthly, physical blessings and protection, but we should be even more grateful for the eternal blessings he gives us.

    An Eternal Weight of Glory (2 Corinthians 4:7-18 with Psalm 116) My view is that 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 is based on Psalm 116 (the 2 Cor. passage is a midrash). See if you agree. The “starting text,” Psalm 116:3-19 3 The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold ...read more

    We cannot change what's going on around us most of the time, but we can change internally for the better so that we are better equipped to deal with external pressures.

    TITLE: THE INTERNAL POWER TO FACE EXTERNAL PRESSURES TEXT: 2COR. 4:1,7, 8-10, 15, 16-18 INTRO: Atmosphere of extreme mental,‑physical and spir. pressure. ‑Discouragement seems to come from all‑sides. The news, people,‑circumstances, and even demonaic‑attacks. ...read more

    God sees our lives with His unlimited perspective. We are so valuable and loved by our Father.

    While we wait for Jesus to return, our task is to cooperate with God in his transforming work within us, to listen and obey. And it’s to continue to share the gospel with those around us; to share the glory of God with them.

    One of the things I love about travel is going to places that have a history behind them. To visit Rome, to see the Coliseum or the Roman Forum, to walk on paving stones that are 2000 years old, that maybe even Paul walked on when he was brought before Caesar. Last year I preached in a church that ...read more

    This is a brief graveside service I prepared for a person I was not familiar with. This is a short and simple, but respectful ceremony. Although it is simple and short, it does have some nice touches.

    Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die.” I want to encourage you, as we gather together this afternoon, to remember that God is our refuge and our strength. We are ...read more
