    based on 35 ratings
     | 26,038 views

    God provides light for all who would have their darkness revealed.

    Scripture Introduction The first words of God recorded in the Bible are: “Let there be light.” Later we find that “God is light, and in him is no darkness at all” (1John 1.5).

    based on 24 ratings
     | 10,779 views

    By recognizing God’s ability and authority, and determining to obey Him, Christians today can refuse the sinful demands of a bowing world.

    Money has the power to shackle us to this present world. Our tithes and offerings have the power to power to shackle us to God in faith.

    OPEN: A preacher named Ray Stedman traveled across the country for a week of meetings. The only problem was, his baggage didn’t make it. He needed a couple of suits so he went down to the local thrift shop. When he told the salesman, "I’d like to get a couple of suits," the man smiled, led him ...read more

    Is The World Out Of Control?

    Contributed by Don Hawks on Aug 10, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,368 views

    I need not be afraid though all hell should break loose. Why? Because “God’s Spirit doesn’t make cowards out of us. The Spirit gives us power, love, and self-control” (2 Timothy 1:7, CEV).

    In today’s gospel reading Jesus says to a frightened group of friends: “Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid." It’s from the story of Jesus walking on water. Some people have interpreted the story as giving us a lesson about needing to take risks in life. One preacher made that the topic of his ...read more

    The hardest thing in the world is to consider suffering and trials a gift from God.

    The Hardest Thing in the World James 1:1-4 February 4, 2007 Have you ever felt like you’d been body slammed by life? I remember Christmas vacation of my sophomore year in high school. For some reason, the wrestling coach decided that we needed to practice. We practiced for 3 or 4 days of that ...read more

     | 4,226 views

    How does Jesus expect us to live in today’s world? DESIRE Him, DENY yourself, DIE to self and DECIDE to follow. Are you doing it?

    Matthew 16:21-28 The Gospel in a Postmodern World From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, ...read more

    Trip Around The World

    Contributed by Carl Allen on Aug 19, 2008

     | 1,715 views

    Often as Christians we need to take a mental trip around the world to see the needs of the world today, as well as revisiting places like the Mount of Olives, Calvary, and the empty tomb to remind ourselves of the Great Comission we have been given.

    Trip Around the World Matthew 28:19 Intro Tonight with the aid of the Holy Spirit, I would like to take a trip around the world, so that you might discover the desperate needs of the world in which we live. I would also like to take you back to some significant events in history that provide us ...read more

    Let’s consider Paul’s behavior and how it applies to us. 1- Authoritative - no 2- Gentle - yes 3- Blameless - yes

    INTRO.- Our behavior in this world. ILL.- Admiral David Glasgow Farragut (July 5, 1801 – August 14, 1870) was the first senior officer of the United States Navy during the American Civil War.

    Scripture This is the fourth message in my series titled, “Making Sense of Today’s News.” Let us read Habakkuk 2:4-20: 4 “See, he is puffed up; his desires are not upright— but the righteous will live by his faith— 5 indeed, wine betrays him; he is arrogant and never at rest.

    Glorious New World

    THIS WEEK…Future heaven…particularly as foretold in the Book of Revelation. “Heaven” occurs more than fifty times in the Book of Revelation given to John. It is visionary in nature…and very similar to Ezekiel’s long before.

    A GLORIOUS NEW WORLD’ (what will the Future of Eternity Be :Like-Part I) Prayer God…here we gather…to let our earthly minds consider the glory of your heavens…how you must be smiling here with us…Worlds feel closed in…let the walls of time and temporary struggle fall down.

    The Hidden World Of Service

    Contributed by Michael Trask on Sep 25, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,459 views

    The contrast couldn’t be more stark. Jesus describes his ultimate act of service while the disciples argue over which of them will be the greatest! This sermon stealthily plunges the listener into this contrast; then pulls them out on the right side.

    My dear friends in Christ, I want to tell you about something that I didn’t really begin to figure out until I was about 24. Many of you figured it out long before you reached that age; some of you have not figured it out yet. But when someone finally does learn it, and it begins to sink ...read more
