    Thank You Lord, For The Thorns That Hurt Us

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 24, 2021
     | 3,844 views

    No true child of God gets out of life without enduring some kind of pain, adversity, discomfort, or suffering. Each encounter we have with the difficulties of life need to be seen as lessons the Sovereign LORD teaches us to rely less on ourselves and more on His wisdom and grace.

    I've spent much time in thought and silent prayer, organizing in my mind and soul on how this message should be presented. I wanted to be certain that what I was about to say would be based primarily upon the Word of God and not merely a repeat of topics that I have covered in previous ...read more

    A Thorn In The Flesh

    Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Apr 21, 2022
     | 3,503 views

    Paul had a thorn in the flesh, a messenger from Satan sent to buffet him. God allowed it to keep him humble. God used the weakness in Paul's life to show His mighty power and majesty. God is able to turn our weaknesses to strengths if we surrender to Him.

    TEXT: 2 Corinthians 12:7-9 "And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might ...read more

    The Race Set Before Us

     | 9,516 views

    The fact that we are alive testifies that we have a race to run, and that it requires endurance. Such races often stem from extreme misfortune. Some suffer from health conditions, or conditions of their own making. In any case, everyone has a race set before them.

    Note: I developed a simple set of homemade PowerPoint slides that I used in presenting this sermon. They're not fancy or professional quality, but if you're interested in having the PowerPoint file I will send it by Email.

    Application about Paul’s teaching about his thorn: He was active in interpreting his life experience to himself and others

    Paul Powell said, “Troubles knock a lot of nonsense out of us.” Like Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” from our Second Reading taken from 2 Corinthians, chapter 12 , which he says was given to him by “an angel of Satan.” It was not a sin problem. e.g. Winne-the-Pooh comes downstairs, bump, bump, ...read more

    Sermon Outline: "God Alone Is Sovereign”

    Contributed by Ronald Moore on Sep 15, 2025
     | 128 views

    God alone is sovereign—He grants visions, He allows thorns, and He shows His power not through our strength, but through our weakness.

    I. A Vision Beyond Words (vv. 2–4) Paul recounts being “caught up” to Paradise. He emphasizes what he does not know: “Whether in the body or out of the body, I do not know. God knows.” The content of the vision is hidden—“inexpressible words…not lawful to utter.” Point: Even in revelation, Paul ...read more

    Sermon # 33 - God Is Sovereign Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 11, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 508 views

    The King of Nineveh humbled himself before God because he understood that God is sovereign. There are many others in the bible who recognized God’s sovereignty and submitted to His will. Only those who recognize and acknowledge God’s sovereignty can joyfully accept His dealings in their lives.

    We read in Jonah 3:9, “Who knows? God may turn and relent and turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish.” (ESV) The one who said these words in the verse mentioned above, was the King of Nineveh, which makes it truly astounding. Let me give you a background which led to this response ...read more

    When it comes to praying for physical healing, we all know that sometimes God says YES, and sometimes God says NO. God told Paul, NO. I. Paul’s desperation. II. Paul’s Actions III. God’s Response

    God designed the human body with remarkable abilities to heal itself through various mechanisms that work together to maintain balance and repair damage.

    You do not know what you are asking for and it isn't pretty.

    When they started giving out stress cards to recruits in boot camp, I was a bit surprised. If I had gone to submit one of those cards to my TI he would have said, "Son, you're feeling stressed? I don't think you know what stress is." and would have made my life very stressful ...read more

    Before The Throne Of God (Revelation 4: 2-11)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 31, 2024
     | 974 views

    How can anyone describe with our limited human vocabulary the glory and wonder of God's heaven? John's vision shows that God is in control of the events here on earth and will bring all of history to a conclusion on HIs terms.

    Revelation Chapter 4 opens with the apostle John being commanded to "come up here" (v.1). He is brought to the throne room of God Almighty in all of its glory and majesty. It is far more beautiful and magnificent than any kind of palace built for kings and emperors here on Earth. What ...read more

    We are wonderfully and uniquely made by God. Each of us has unique gifts and a divine purpose, reflecting the marvel of God's craftsmanship. Our worth is found in God's design and His plans for us. We are reminded that we are God's masterpiece, created with intention and love.

    Introduction Video Ill.: Imperfections by Matthew West In our world today, our identities are in crisis.

    Prayer is a large topic that we cannot cover completely. The disciples knew Jesus as a praying man and they knew that John had taught his disciples to pray. “Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1)
