    Desperate For Jesus

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 1,948 views

    I believe that there really is such a place for that kind of desperation in our lives today. However, most important is the discernment of what it is that we want for ourselves.

    Opening illustration: Healing of a Hindu gentleman [in the Middle-East] who opened his house for prayer and became a Christian at his time of deepest need and crisis. Introduction: The story of this woman has always fascinated me for nowhere else in the scripture can we find a healing literally ...read more

    Jesus full of the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit leads him into the wilderness. God also leads us into wilderness experiences.

    “Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry. The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become ...read more

    For some that means accepting Christ as your Lord and Savior so you might be set free from the penalty and presence of sin, and then learn how to live each day free from sin's power.

    Opening illustration: You ever watch those shows about these submarines that go down 2 and a half miles to the wreck of the Titanic? That’s one thing that I think I could never do.

    Si Abraham ay may ilang napakalaking matataas na puntos, ngunit mayroon din siyang mababang puntos. Ang pag-alam na makakatulong sa amin kapag hindi ka nakakaranas ng tagumpay pagkatapos ng tagumpay.

    Sinabi ito ng Diyos. Naniniwala ako. Na settles ito. Iyon ay isang matapang na pahayag. Maaari kang mag-order ng bumper sticker na may ganitong deklarasyon ng pananampalataya. Gayunpaman, may mga pagkakataon bang kailangan natin ng katiyakan mula sa Diyos? Maaaring nag-order si Abraham ng bumper ...read more

    Heaven On Earth

    If we are not identified to be a part of this spiritual Kingdom of God, we cannot enter the physical Kingdom of Heaven when we die. Our self-life is the main enemy of the life of Christ. The Bible calls this ‘flesh’.

    Mathew 11:12 “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force”. We notice through the scriptures, there are phrases like Kingdom of God and Kingdom of Heaven. God says everyone doesn’t get into heaven but only the violent ...read more

    Our ministry of reconciliation and sharing our faith has barriers. Going to deal with the most common.

    Background to passage: after the idea of immense suffering in our lives, Paul talks about heaven. Please make sure you define heaven in biblical ways. Same with Jesus. Since he was talking about heaven, he noted that we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, therefore we persuade ...read more

    The cost of discipleship is high because nothing good comes cheap.

    Anybody planning on moving to Florida soon? Just when you thought California was going to be the new hurricane central, Idalia came back and reinstated Florida as number one.

    A sermon about humility and seeking to have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.

    “I Want to be Like Jesus” Philippians 2:1-13 You wouldn’t think it would be so difficult. As a matter of fact, it should come naturally. We are all born as little babies who don’t know a thing and are completely dependent on our mothers. We are all made of the same stuff—flesh, blood, ...read more

    God doesn’t owe us, he owns us. In fact, he owns us twice over: first through the right of creation, and second through the right of purchase.

    The great preacher Ray Stedman used to tell a wonderful story of a faithful missionary couple returning from Africa back in the days of Teddy Roosevelt. After years of service they came back on the same ship as President Roosevelt, who was returning from a big game hunting expedition in Africa. ...read more

    Preserving The Best Of Both In The Church World

     | 1,066 views

    When anything new comes along, we struggle to know what should be preserved and what should be discarded. This struggle may seem new, but it is an age-old problem. Jesus in this discourse helps us to preserve the best of both worlds and the danger of putting new wine in old wineskins.

    Sermon: Preserving the Best of Both in the Church World Scripture: Matt 9:10-17 “As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew (Levi) sitting in the tax collector’s booth; and He said to him, “Follow Me [as My disciple, accepting Me as your Master and Teacher and walking the same path of ...read more

    THERE IS AN INVITATION, WHEN IT IS EXTENDED, WILL NEVER BE RESCINDED OR REVOKED.

    At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes.

    Too many of us believe we have arrived and are mature spiritually. We must find out “Where Are You?”

    We have talked before about the importance of order and the Law of First Mention. First things, first fruits, first statements all matter. They are highly important and worth paying attention to. This should cause us to pay particular attention to the very first question God ever asked. This ...read more

    Mephibosheth comes to David having not washed his clothes, or shaved or cared for his appearance, basically to show David that he was waiting for his return.

    At the end of 2nd Samuel chapter 19 we see Mephibosheth rejoining King David after he had fled Jerusalem. We also see Barzillai, a rich guy who was supporting David in Mahanaim, come to David, and David invites him to Jerusalem, but Barzillai prefers to return to his own home, because he’s in his ...read more

    God wants you to speak words of faith and hope over your dry bones! It wouldn't have been easy for Ezekial either. While Ezekial was seeing a valley full of dry bones; God was seeing a valley with a vast army. And when he spoke, miracles happened.

    The prophet Ezekiel was a contemporary of the prophet Jeremiah. God had a particular mission for Ezekiel. After the Babylonian exile, Jeremiah ministered to the children of Israel who were still in Jerusalem. But Ezekiel was carried off with the second group that was taken to captivity by the ...read more
