     | 24,964 views

    There’s only one way to get to heaven... but people always seem to be trying to force God to do things their way. What types of things do people do to force their will on God’s Word?

    OPEN: A school teacher injured his back and had to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. It fit under his shirt and was not noticeable at all.

    Though Joel is a book of Judgment, it is also a book of Hope. In this book, God’s people are made to understand that even in the midst of divine judgment there is always hope if they will simply and humbly seek the Lord (2:12-13).

    IT’S NOT TOO LATE! Joel 2:12-13 “Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: 13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of ...read more

     | 10,026 views

    Hell is filled with people we love, and our neighbors and friends, who give to Charities, always there to lend a helping hand, people who we would say were GOOD people if they were judged by their works!

    The Horrors of Hell Luke 16:19-31 As beautiful as Heaven is! That is how Horrifying HELL is! The Horror of HELL is NOT only for those who are the Mass murderers, or Hitler, or the really EVIL of this world!

    Semper Paratus Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 2, 2007
     | 3,677 views

    The inbreak of God, whether now or in the day of His return, is both judgment and blessing. But if we are always prepared, we can handle the judgment without being destroyed and can receive blessings even though disguised.

    If we prepare, we can handle just about anything. Preparation allows us to handle both negatives and positives. If we are ready, we can take the negatives and deal with the blows that fall on us. And if we are ready, we can also enjoy the positives and receive the blessings. When I was growing ...read more

    Before a building project begins, there is always the process of clearing the landscape. You wouldn’t want to lay a foundation on land with debris, would you? In the process of building towards revival, what debris is on your landscape?

    • Throwing things away is not my strong point. My wife and my mother can attest to this. I remember when I was a teenager Mom used to come in my room and ask, "Glenn, are you in there?" Of course she was being sarcastic (At least I think she was). • When we moved I decided I would throw away ...read more

    The House Holds People of Purpose, we don’t do what we do for no reason or because it has always been done. You can also listen to this message at www.preaching.co.nr

    Culture is how we do things. Every household does its’ things in its’ own way. The members of God’s household must guard against becoming closed to others fulfilling their God given potential.

    Maybe the winds in your life are intensifying right now. You can't find the things that you've always navigated by, and the flood of your frustration and fear is rising. Listen, everything is under control.

    In the Middle of the Storm Text: Nahum 1:3 It was the only kind of day they have at O'Hare Airport - busy. It was March, and my fried was one of the thousands of passengers there who had plans and schedules, things they had to do, places they had to be.

    based on 15 ratings
     | 17,173 views

    It wasn’t the faith of this little girl that moved Jesus to come. It was the faith of a father in desperation, crying out to Jesus. Nothing is more powerful than the desperation of a father for his child. THERE IS ALWAYS A DESPERATE ASPECT TO FAITH.

    Part 7 - Matthew 9:18-26 - THE DESPERATE CRY OF MY FAITH! I’ve conducted funerals. I know the kind of grief that hangs in the air with anticipation like storm clouds ready to flood the earth with rain.

    Whatever the source of stronghold – you have a choice (you always have a choice) – harden yourself to the message or be broken before God and turn from the sin. Don’t protect the sin by keeping it in a dark corner.

     | 6,396 views

    We Christians are on the same side. We serve the same God. We fight the same enemy. Yet, we can’t always get along because of what Charles Swindoll calls the "Me Mentality".

    ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL (Gleaned from writings by Charles Swindoll) A. Philippians 2:1-11 (READ) B. One lesson that should be SCREAMING out at us from Paul’s description of the church as being the “BODY OF CHRIST,” is that WE are to be UNITED--WE are in this TOGETHER! 1.

    based on 101 ratings
     | 29,894 views

    It used to be said that Christians looked like they’d been weaned on sour pickles and raised on prune juice. But that should never be so. We ought always to be thank filled people. Find out why.

    OPEN: A farmer was sitting down to breakfast at local restaurant and bowed his head in prayer. A couple of young men at the next table thought that was a bit odd and they made fun of him quietly as he prayed.

    based on 1 rating
     | 13,608 views

    If you want to meet Jesus, you won’t find him at the pinnacle of earthly successes; you have to climb down to the Cornerstone-Jesus is always at the bottom of things, holding everyone else up.

    Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6-7 There are four points here, and, I believe, they are connected. Humble Yourselves Peter (and the rest of the New Testament) has ...read more
