Psalm 137 Series

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Mar 11, 2020

A lament for fallen Jerusalem - either prophetic or written in captivity. The psalmist grieves deeply for Zion and pledges to never forget.

For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated.

Don't Bury It Yet

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Jan 13, 2020

There are times when there seems to be a disconnect between our walk with God and the outcome of our prayers. Sometimes circumstances can seem to contradict the fact that God is watching over our lives and guiding its events for our good.

TITLE: DON’T BURY IT YET SCRIPTURE: II KINGS 4:8-37 A common precursor among new preachers when they want to preach about faith is to ask the congregation - “how many of you have faith?” • The question actually doesn’t make sense because there is no such thing as “people who have faith” and ...read more

Don’t Limit Your Miracle!

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jun 17, 2023

The woman’s limitation to believe staff can work hindered the miracle. If she would have trusted that the staff was enough for God to heal, that would have been enough for her miracle to manifest. This teaches us an important lesson that we can limit the power of God through our lack of faith.

The Bible has accounts of several miraculous healings both in the Old and New Testament: Namaan, being healed of his leprosy, Hezekiah healed of his lump, Bartholomew healed of his blindness, a man at Bethesda healed of his paralysis and the list continues. Even today, we hear testimonies around ...read more
