    Nailprints Don't Lie

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 19, 2003
    based on 34 ratings
     | 3,677 views

    Thomas dealt with his loss by postponing his choices and by absenting himself from the community. We do the same; but the nailprints of our shame and our guilt tell the truth about us.

     We respond to loss in a variety of ways. There is no predicting how people will act when they lose something they cherish. I have seen everything from screaming and wailing to solid stoicism to outright laughter. I have conducted funerals where people have wept openly, and others ...read more

    How God can turn around impossible Situations

    FROM POUTING TO SHOUTING--PSALM 13:1-6 Introduction: In this Psalm we see David’s emotions during the time when he was being hunted as a fugitive by Saul. His powers of endurance are almost gone. He feels that unless God acts quickly, his enemies will get the upper hand and he will go down in ...read more

    God don’t see him as a man, made in the divine image of God, but as a wild animal, under the control of Satan. He is a man but he is energized from hell, for he comes out of the pit, we’re told this two times.

    Rev.# 45~13:5-10 THE ANTICHRIST 3-6-10 In chapter 13: as we have already stated the two worst people in all of human history appear on the scene. They are called “beasts.” They are not animals; they are called beasts because of the cruelty of their reign. God don’t see him as a ...read more

    The Church Of Tolerance

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 9, 2006
    based on 30 ratings
     | 8,005 views

    In our society today, tolerance is considered a virtue. But our definition of it has changed - and accepting and even applauding any and every practice will weaken and pollute our lives. Learn how to safeguard your church and your life from compromise.

    When I read verses 18-29 I picture a church in turmoil - a good church with good people that has been infiltrated with those who would exploit weakness and draw off believers into immorality. The good people stand by and watch - and mourn. The church in Thyatira was small - and sometimes in a small ...read more

    Funeral Sermon: Comfort In The Midst Of Loss Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 5, 2025
     | 1,076 views

    As believers, our perspective on death is different from that of the world. We do not mourn as those without hope because we know that death is not the end.

    FUNERAL SERMON: COMFORT IN THE MIDST OF LOSS By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (KJV) 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose ...read more

    "Christians differ from pagans not in the ills that befall them but in what they do with the ills that befall them." - St. Augustine. Christians should respond to tragedy, sickness, and trials in light of who they are in Jesus Christ.

    We should invest ourselves in the Lord, even while suffering.

    Being A Christian Can Be Painful! (I Peter 4:12-19) 1. C. S. Lewis once remarked that “God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pain; it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” Today’s sermon is about suffering, trials, and stressful experiences. 2. ...read more

    To Hurting Congregations! What Matters Most Is What God Offers First!

    Contributed by Doug Koehler on Jan 18, 2002
    based on 80 ratings
     | 4,819 views

    There are, still today, many congregations that are full of bickering and selfishness. These things tear the church apart and keep them from fulfilling God’s call in their life. Paul addresses this sort of church when he wrote to the church in Corinth. Hi

    1st Corinthians 1:1-9 January 20th, 2002 To hurting congregations! What matters most is what God offers first! Most would say that a recipe for disaster is to take people with different views, ideas, attitudes, backgrounds, and agendas and stick them all in one place. The result would be ...read more

     | 5,126 views

    God uses suffering to turn lost hearts to Him.

    “From Suffering to Surrender” In 1 Kings 17:8-24, God sent Elijah to Zarephath, the heart of Baal worship. Though it was behind enemy lines, Elijah promptly arose and went. He was obedient regardless of his lack of understanding. Complete knowledge is no prerequisite to obedience. God ...read more

    Sermon 4 of a New Year’s series based on Wilkinson’s book Experiencing Spiritual Breakthroughs.

    Several years ago, I read a case study in a book whose title I cannot remember so I will summarize from a copy of the case study that I still have in my possession. It was the story of a 16-year-old named Allan. Allan, his mother, and his younger sister, were referred to an adolescent health center ...read more

    You may possess resources, something that could nourish and help others. But if it is hoarded and boarded up, that stuff will spoil, stain, smell and be utterly pointless.

    2 Corinthians 5: 16 – 21 From Now On Intro: A young woman went to her pastor and said, “Pastor, I really need your advice in dealing with the sin of pride. I come to church Sunday after Sunday and I can’t help to think as I look around that I’m the prettiest girl in the congregation. I know I ...read more

    How do you respond to the work of God in Christians lives and how will you respond when you face opposition?

    It seems to me there are 2 different questions that arise for us in this passage today. The first is this: "How will you respond to the work of God in the lives of his followers? Will you respond with faith, with allegiance to Jesus Christ as Lord or will you reject his claims over you as ...read more
