    The Preciousness Of Death

    Contributed by Sonny Thomas, Sr. on May 1, 2002
    based on 328 ratings
     | 65,094 views

    Although difficult for us to cope with, the death of a saint is precious to God.

    "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." This seems like an odd verse. Why would death be precious to God? Wasn’t it the entrance of sin into the world that brought forth the curse of death? Certainly God abhors sin, and I would be willing to say that individuals ...read more

     | 312 views

    Have you ever prayed… and it felt like your words bounced off the ceiling? You’ve pleaded, wept, even shouted, yet the heavens seemed shut. King David knew that feeling. He was anointed king, yet hunted like a criminal. God had promised him the throne, yet he was hiding in caves.

    Go! And… Trust Him When God Is Silent - Psalm 13:1–6 Introduction — When Heaven Feels Quiet Silence can be deafening. Have you ever prayed… and it felt like your words bounced off the ceiling?

    In the model prayer we are told by our Lord to pray for the kingdom to come and in Revelation chapter 20 we see the establishing of the kingdom.

    Thy Kingdom Come Revelation 20:1-6 In these first 6 verses the term “A Thousand Years” is used in which we call a millennial. This is when the Lord will come and reign upon the earth from the throne of David in Jerusalem. Mention: Matt. 6:9-10 Thy kingdom come…we are told to pray ...read more

    Getting Better Or Bitter?

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jun 14, 2003
    based on 84 ratings
     | 22,952 views

    Asaph started to regress toward bitterness because he struggled with over-reacting to the prosperity, pleasures and privileges of others. We all have to choose to become better or slip into bitterness, cynicism and negativity.

    Getting Better or Bitter? (Psa. 73:1-28) "See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many." (Heb. 12:15) Quote: " I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go" - ABRAHAM ...read more

    Jesus tells us the cost of discipleship and the values we must hold to follow Him.

    (My illustrations are from my files, primarily. No intention is implied that they are original. I have simply used them too much to remember where I found them. Variations of them can all be found on the internet, even on this site). Jesus addresses the crowd to share with them the values ...read more

    Preaching From Philippians #6

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021
     | 1,190 views

    In this passage of scripture, Paul talks to the Philippian Christians about salvation. That may seem strange because these people said they were Believers.

    A good pastor deals with the subject of salvation for two reasons: (1) He knows it is a possibility that many are deceived about their salvation. The Lord Himself dealt with this deception in Matthew 7:22-23, we read, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy ...read more

    There are moments when everything falls silent-a pause filled with anticipation. Revelation 8:1 reveals such a moment, inviting us to explore the profound meaning of the calm before the storm.

    The Calm Before the Storm Introduction In our walk with God, we often encounter moments of profound stillness, times that seem quiet, perhaps even silent, yet carry immense spiritual significance. These moments are not voids but purposeful pauses in God's divine orchestration. Today, we turn ...read more

    The 2nd Product Of Unfaithfulness: Condemnation Series

    Contributed by Jim Luthy on Jul 13, 2001
    based on 58 ratings
     | 4,558 views

    Unfaithfulness among Christians has led many in and out of the church to deal with guilt. Mercy is God’s love toward men extended to free us from condemnation.

    Unfaithfulness: Condemnation Hosea 1:1-2:1; 2 Kings 17:6-23 Last week we looked at the first illegitimate child born to Hosea’s unfaithful wife, Gomer. We noted that the child, whom the Lord instructed Hosea to name Jezreel, represented the first product of unfaithfulness, which is impotence, or ...read more
