    Waiting On God

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Dec 1, 2002
    based on 100 ratings
     | 10,173 views

    Advent reminds us that people have always waited on God. And so will we. Why? Because waiting plays an important role in our spiritual growth.

    Today is the first Sunday in the season of the Christian year called Advent. The word "Advent" simply means arrival, or coming, and so during the next four weeks we will be celebrating the arrival of Christ. During Advent, we look back at the time when God became an infant child, born in a stable ...read more

    When we feel most betrayed, Jesus understands, for he experienced total abandonment. When we feel most alone, the truth and reality is that we are not.

    THE FOURTH WORD FROM THE CROSS - Anguish "At about three o’clock Jesus cried out with a loud shout, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachtani?" which means, "My God, My God why did you abandon me" (Matthew 27: 46). Out of the darkness comes a loud cry. A piercing cry. It is not a cry against God, it is ...read more

    The Spirit Of The Age Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Feb 11, 2019
     | 4,811 views

    Although modern Christians seem to have abandoned any ethic of avoiding worldliness, the Bible has not. But what is worldliness, and why must we avoid it?

    The Spirit of the Age (I John 2:15-17) 1. People go through great lengths to avoid being proud and worldly. A rabbi and a cantor are standing in the largely empty synagogue one day, talking mystically about how, given the awesome glory of God’s Infinite Divine Presence, they are each really ...read more

     | 4,166 views

    David was a man after God’s own heart, because of his integrity. Through an overview of David's life, we explore what it is to have the heart of God, by contrasting “Saul’s heart of defiance” with “David’s heart of obedience.”

    Baptist Men’s Day, on the Southern Baptist Convention calendar, is observed on January 24, 2021 (which, of course, we are a week late). I have written this morning’s sermon to recognize the men of our congregation, and we’re going to be looking at living a life of integrity before God. Our ...read more

    God Is Gracious Series

     | 26,920 views

    God’s love toward us is unconditional.

    God is gracious. What does that mean? That God has good manners? That He’s courteous? No. "God’s grace is His free and unmerited favor". Let’s examine that. God’s grace is "unmerited". It is undeserved. It is unearned. It is purely a gift. We receive good things from God, not in response to ...read more

    The Absence Of God

    January 1985: The psalmist experiences the absence of God, even to the point of denigrating himself as a "worm." But when he takes inventory, he does see evidence of God's presence, opens up his heart, and dares to hope.

    Today I am going to take a somewhat different approach to the reading of the Scripture and the way I will be preaching on it. And in fact I hope this will make it come alive for you and will enable you to follow the thought of the Scripture writer as well as my own thought. What I plan to do today ...read more

    God saves us by his special favor when we believe in Jesus. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.

    GOD’S AMAZING GRACE #2 WHAT IS GOD’S AMAZING GRACE? Review from last week. QUOTE: “The Church is not a museum for saints, but a hospital for sinners.” (Morton Kelsey). “Jesus said, "Healthy people don’t need a doctor – sick people do…” For I have come to call sinners, not those who think they ...read more

     | 3,808 views

    The Lord gives us remedy for doubts that creep in about His ability to help or His concern to help when we are in a great crisis. God addresses His people, those redeemed by his grace to look away from their crisis (and doubts about Him) and embrace the facts about Him and the Hope they bring.

    Sermon: Embracing God’s Promise of Hope Scripture: Isaiah 40:27-31 “O Jacob, how can you say the Lord does not see your troubles? O Israel, how can you say God ignores your rights? 28 Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He ...read more

    It is a year now, as we look back at the events of 9/11/01 there is still one lingering question on the minds of people.

    Where Was God? Matthew 5:10-11 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

     | 69 views

    God desires His children to live in abundance—not just materially, but spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and physically. This abundance is not about greed or materialism; it’s about walking in the fullness of God’s plan, provision, and purpose.
