    Anticipating Grief

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 18, 2010
     | 6,301 views

    A grief anticipating what will happen is difficult, but can be handled if we ask and accept forgiveness. When the grief is fulfilled, then we are ready to do what our hearts tell us. God suffered anticipating grief and so understands.

    Only someone who has done some grieving can help those who now grieve. A hundred "I’m sorries" and a thousand "I know how you feels" are worthless when you feel profound grief. You need at your side someone who has been through loss. And if yours is anticipating grief; that is, if yours is the ...read more

    1 John 5:13 Believing With Assurance Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 20, 2015
     | 5,244 views

    If you want to be certain that you have nothing to fear from death, then put your confidence in Jesus Christ. Accept his claim to be the only begotten Son of God. Admit your disobedience to God and ask him for forgiveness.

    Believing with Assurance Benjamin Franklin is credited with saying: “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Mind you, he probably hadn’t imagined the industry that’s sprung up around tax avoidance these days. But he was certainly correct ...read more

    The Church Of Tolerance

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 9, 2006
    based on 30 ratings
     | 8,038 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

    Don’t Settle For Ishmael When You Can Have Isaac

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 13, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 24,628 views

    Abraham failed to contend for a supernatural offspring, opting to settle for less than God's best. Many Christians do likewise. God commands, "Get rid of the slave woman and her son!" i.e - "Stop accepting only natural solutions!"

    DON’T SETTLE FOR ISHMAEL WHEN YOU CAN HAVE ISAAC GENESIS 15:1-16:5 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A college professor was giving a final exam to his students.

    We need to take time to intentionally focus on God because... "when we obey, when we accept, when we pause, when we awaken, when we realize and recognize and receive, love transforms everything."

     | 3,398 views

    Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a colt accompanied by its mother donkey. He is King of the Jews, but did the crowd really accept Him as that? This brings together all 4 Gospel accounts into one harmony. This ageless story is full of meaning.

     | 9,747 views

    Maybe you happen to be reaching the age of retirement. You need to realize that accepting your age can lead to losing the best years of your life. Do not become inactive and resigned, but continue to serve the Lord's kingdom.

    Tyron Edwards stated, “Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow old.”(1) Sophia Loren said, “There is a fountain of youth: it is in your mind, your talents, and the creativity that you bring to your life and to the lives of the ...read more

    based on 15 ratings
     | 6,666 views

    If we let the Bible speak for itself, we find a God Who is often different than the God many Christians present, a God with a complicated emotional matrix.

    God’s Emotional Matrix 1. The sermons over the last few weeks have really stretched us. 2. We mentioned the purpose for all creation, to glorify God. Creation does this by SHOWCASING what is special about God. 3. We cannot develop God’s special qualities, because they are already perfect. All ...read more
