    A sermon on Amos 5:18-20 on the day of the Lord (Some material adapted from a sermon by Roger Griffith at: http://www.joywell.org/Sermons/frombad2worse.html)

    This sermon was written for a pastor's 13 year anniversary celebration at their church. But can also be used for a church anniversary celebration or can even be revised to be a general Sunday sermon.

    Psalm 23, our text for today, is incredibly famous – maybe one of the best-known Bible passages besides John 3:16. It's written in a way that feels poetic and musical. But more importantly, it's a source of great comfort. People often read Psalm 23 when they feel desperate, depressed, or ...read more

    Free From The Law

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jul 16, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,584 views

    This statement, "You are not under law," has been misinterpreted to free people as freedom from any obligation to the revealed law of God." Free from the law is not a license to sin but the liberty to serve and obey from love not compulsion.

    Free From the Law Romans 8:1-11 Romans 6:14 contains these words "...for ye are not under the law, but under grace." This words have become, as John McArthur, points out "a sort of an open door for all kinds of misdeeds and misbehavior. This statement, "You are not under law," has been ...read more

    INTRO: Remember the book by Frank Peretti, "This Present Darkness" about the battle between good and evil.

    Trials and troubles, far from being harmful to you, cause us to grow. Under Pharaoh's oppression Israel grew dramatically. Joseph too faced the dilemma of whether to become bitter at his brothers, or better. He saw the hand of God & chose the latter.

    FROM BITTER TO BETTER Exodus 1:11-14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Some things never change! 1. A supposed ancient manuscript was found that told extra details of what happened when Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good & Evil. 2.

    If there had only been an Ezra, only part of the job would have gotten done. If there had only been a Nehemiah, only part of the job would have gotten done. God needed both men to accomplish the goal.

    April 15, 2023 Today we are combining the books of Ezra and Nehemiah into 1 story – Return from Exile The 70 years were up. It was now time for God to act.

    Contrary to popular belief, satan is alive and well. He is a real, personal being who, as a created cherub, sinned against God and subsequently fell from heaven.

    If we are going to live a life flowing with forgiveness to everyone with whom we come in contact, we must realize that *The battles we fight are spiritual. *They are not to be directed toward another human being. *They should be directed against the forces of hell. Because our ...read more
