    Any time there is a war... a battle... a football game... there are two sides ~ the one side to the other is the enemy / opposition, whether it is a war... a battle... a football game The Best Way to go up against the opposition, is t

    Laughing Away The Burdens

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 4, 2000
    based on 119 ratings
     | 17,422 views

    Abraham laughed in the cynicism of old age; Sarah laughed in the denial that defends against what is inevitable; but beyond both of them God laughed in joy at the triumph of His purposes, fulfilled in two aged followers.

    You have heard it said, “He who laughs last, laughs best.” Let me expand on that: I may laugh, you may laugh, but God will have the last and best laugh, for God’s purposes will be served. Laughter. There are all sorts of reasons to laugh. Some will laugh out of frustration; unable to do what ...read more

    Finding Encouragement Through Discouraging Times

    When you’re depressed, remember to take advantage of the spiritual antidepressants in the words of Jesus. Find your joy, hope, and friendship in the Lord Jesus and speak against the sadness that seeks to steal your joy.

    Finding Encouragement Through Discouraging Times (John 15:11-15:13)"These things I have spoken to you so my joy may be in you." Illustration: David strengthened himself in the Lord his God. --1 Samuel 30:6 Talking to oneself is something many people ridicule in others and vow they’ll never do ...read more

    Christian women who have a "calling" on their lives, often struggle against the traditional attitudes of their brethren who do not believe in women preachers! This sermon is for the Woman of God who has been Called by God !

    The Envy Trap Series

     | 20,107 views

    God tells us that godliness with contentment is great gain. But there is one trait that gnaws at the heart of many Christians that can deprive them of that contentedness. What is it, and how can we defend against it?

    TEXT: I Timothy 6:3-10 TITLE: The Envy Trap OPEN: How many of you have heard of the tooth fairy? (The question met with a little laughter as everyone raised their hands). I read a story not so long ago about a woman whose 2nd grader had collected a fair amount of money from the "tooth fairy." ...read more

    Are Advantages Advantageous? Series

    based on 15 ratings
     | 4,826 views

    This sermon from my series on Preaching Through Romans attempts to deal with some of the arguments that people make against the truth and to the grace of God thereby refusing to take advantage of the offer of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

    What about the person who is born with the proverbial silver spoon in his or her mouth? Are those advantages advantageous? Are they beneficial, useful, helpful – to your advantage, valuable or profitable? Most of us would answer absolutely “Not” in our day and time. On Entertainment News you ...read more

    The Ones Whom God Loves

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,370 views

    To show that God loves the world that is in rebellion against Him and that gratitude to Him ought to be the response to His grace. The application of the Law of God seems to be the only thing that brings some people to see their need of Christ.

    "The Ones Whom God Loves" JOHN 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." It’s a wonderful truth. It is gospel truth; truth in a nutshell. The Lord says He loves the world. “For God so loved the ...read more

    What Is Sin? Series

    Contributed by Moy Hernandez on Oct 27, 2009
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,030 views

    Sin is the devils influence that has been planted in our hearts and that separates us from God, causing us to rebel against Him. Sin, then, in its original form and to this very day, is INSUBORDINATION.

    WHAT IS SIN? Romans 7:13-20 The answer is rebellion against God? Paul says: “For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.” (Romans 7:19-20) Sin is the ...read more

    The Jerusalem Council Series

    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,119 views

    There are always those who would change the gospel. This is to be expected since the gospel is a judgment against the world system which refuses to recognize God, His condemnation of sin & His redemptive purpose for all men.

    GALATIANS 2: 1-10 THE JERUSALEM COUNCIL [Acts 15:1-30] There are always those in the world who would change the gospel.

    Proper Planning Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Dec 15, 2009
    based on 21 ratings
     | 28,128 views

    This section warns against self-centered planning. Worldly living is not displayed only by a disbelief in God, sometimes it’s apparent in the disregarding of God as we plan our life & our daily activities.

    JAMES 4:11-17 PROPER PLANNING [Luke 12:16-21] It is too easy for Christians to make plans and set goals, expecting God to fall in line behind them. It is easy to plan our lives as if we controlled the future and had unlimited authority over the factors that affect our life. And so, in reality ...read more

    Lord, Behold Their Threatening

    based on 21 ratings
     | 20,923 views

    Any power militating against a true child of God is looking for problems. Such a power wants to sink into the red sea after the order of Pharaoh. It is also seeking to be destroyed by God's anger after the order of Senacherib.

    LORD, BEHOLD THEIR THREATENING Dr. D. K. Olukoya In Acts 4, the apostles had been pushed around. They had been warned not to preach in the name of Jesus. Then in verse 29, they started praying, "And now, Lord, behold their threatening and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,310 views

    This wonderful passage of Scripture gives us an accreditation of ministry. It seems like there is much that opposes God’s work today just as there was opposition against the labors of the Apostle Paul in his work with Jesus Christ.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 23,634 views

    Gideon was an unlikely candidate to lead Israel against the Midianites, but God often uses the weak and inadequate. Our service to Him is not dependent upon our wisdom or ability, but it must rely on the Lord through faith.

    Overcoming our Reluctance Judges 6: 11-16 Living the Christian life isn’t always easy. In fact, we are often forced to deal with difficulties and struggles. At times we surrender to defeat and feel as if we lack the ability to overcome. I am sure we have all dealt with moments of insecurity, ...read more

    Jesus calls us to recognise the devastating consequences, namely an eternal place in Gehenna, when we allow sin to impact our lives. We need to take radical action against our sin.
