    Sheep Sense

     | 6,328 views

    When we look at ourselves as humans, we are much like sheep. We often hear negatives about sheep; how they are dumb and helpless animals...Kind of like us.

    John 10:14-30 14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, 15 just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there ...read more

    A Humble Man for a Heavenly Mission Matthew 1:18-25 Introduction: When God moved in time to send His Son Jesus into the world, God chose the perfect vessel when He chose the virgin named Mary.

    As The World Panics

    Contributed by Steve Woods (Pastor Woody) on Mar 23, 2020
     | 10,293 views

    We are in dire times right now. It is important to all of us that we keep our focus on God and not let the world distract us from our mission... only adapt, as God leads us through this struggle.

    Our nation and the entire world is in high-panic mode at this time, and we here at Sunrise Chapel, will do everything within our power to help the local communities and people impacted by the restrictions put on us by our state and federal governments. We have all agreed to “follow the rules” put ...read more

    "it's Not Fair!" (Part Four)

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jun 10, 2019
     | 10,638 views

    The scenarios we've been looking at over the past few weeks seem unfair on the surface but when we examined them we realized that God was not being unfair. As we close out the series, we'll look at Jesus' parable of the workers in the vineyard.

    "IT'S NOT FAIR!" (part four) We looked at Adam and Eve getting kicked out of the garden for one act of disobedience. We looked at the story of Job losing everything despite being upright and blameless. We saw how the prophet suffered death even though he was tricked by a lying ...read more

    The Provocative Entry

    Contributed by Byron Perrine on Jul 9, 2019
     | 3,030 views

    Palm Sunday helps us correctly understand humility in relationship to others, and Christian vocation in relationship to God. The following discourse is based upon one of the first sermons I preached, a “Palm Sunday” sermon given many years ago.

    (If you have found this sermon helpful, please visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info) There are very many New Testament scriptural admonitions to humility; for example, Paul writes: “By the grace given to me I bid everyone among you not to think of himself more ...read more

    A brief sermon for Christmas Eve.

    “Jesus Was Born into the Real World—Our World” Luke 2:1-20 There is an old story about a fisherman and his wife. Like most fishermen, this guy worked hard for not much pay. He was out before sunrise every morning and worked well into the day. He would cast his nets again and again, hauling ...read more

    How To Be Obedient

    Contributed by Rev. Duraimony Dickson on Jul 17, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,801 views

    God calls us to obey Him and His word. And we must obey Him with a heart of integrity, humility, without hesitation, and total surrender. God rewards those who obey with the blessing of eternal life and freedom from sin and death.

    How to be Obedient “So, Samuel said: “Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams.” I Samuel 15:22 In our daily life, we know that obedience is a very essential ...read more

    "practice, Practice, Practice"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Jul 20, 2020

    As Paul opens this chapter he feels compelled to remind us again of his status-he is writing as a prisoner-now he is not in the system as we sometimes say-he wants it to be clear he is a prisoner of the Lord. A prisoner of the Lord has a very unique status.

    "Practice, Practice, Practice" Ephesians 4:1-6 As Paul opens this chapter he feels compelled to remind us again of his status-he is writing as a prisoner-now he is not in the system as we sometimes say-he wants it to be clear he is a prisoner of the Lord.

    Humble Thyself

    Contributed by Tim Carpenter on Feb 13, 2019
     | 11,116 views

    Do not exalt yourself. Do not be prideful. Do not claim to be the best at anything, even if it's true. You are not really 10 ft. tall and bullet proof. Even Superman has weakness. Pride is our Kryptonite.

    Humble Thyself Sermon: Feb. 9, 2019 (4th of 11th month) Luke 18:9-14 Two men in the temple. Matt.25:32-46 The response of the saints is "WHEN did we do these things", rather than "YES, I sure did!" They could have said, yes we did these things in order to give glory to GOD, ...read more

    What Jesus’ Light Helps Us See Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 2, 2021
     | 2,755 views

    This passage is complicated and challenging. This sermon attempts to cut it down to the four interactions and what is going in each. What's the key to seeing Jesus' light?

    - This is a very challenging passage. There is a lot going on here in general. There are questions and answers that don’t always flow from one another. There are a lot of theological statements that are not easily processed. - When you add it all up, there’s a lot to handle here. I struggled ...read more

    Praying People

     | 1,276 views

    Effective people are praying people.

    In a recent morning devotional, I read Daniel 9 and focused on his prayer for my prayer in verses 1-19. He read Jeremiah’s prediction of the seventy-year captivity and calculated that the time was near for the Jews to return home. He prayed earnestly with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes. Let’s make ...read more

    God Opposes The Proud Series

     | 2,964 views

    In Daniel 4:1-37, we see a living illustration of the Biblical truth that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.

    Introduction According to the Bible, the root problem at the very core of all of our lives is pride. Now I know that’s nothing new. This problem first surfaced in the Garden of Eden. The problem with pride is that it robs us not only of a full and meaningful relationship with other people ...read more

    Are We Being Obedient?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jul 10, 2023
     | 796 views

    In this passage of Scripture, Paul is writing to the Philippians, instructing them to be humble like Christ. How humble are we?

    These verses are presumably from a psalm sung by the early Christian church. The passage holds many equals to the prediction of the suffering servant in Isaiah 53. As a song, it was not intended to be a finished assertion about the nature and work of Christ. Notwithstanding, a few vital attributes ...read more
