Contributed by Derek Geldart on Apr 5, 2025

This sermon explores how God's loving discipline and our deepest weariness can become the very place where He renews our strength, reminding us through Isaiah 40:27–31 that those who hope in the Lord will rise, not by their own power, but by His.

Contributed by John Bright on Apr 6, 2025

Do You Fear The Word Of The Lord? Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 18, 2005

The plagues of Egypt get closer and closer to home. God warns the Egyptians how to escape His judgment. Some listen, others do not. What is the condition of your heart when it comes to receiving from God’s Word?

The 10 plagues go from remote and objective, to very personal and subjective. A staff turns into a snake - big deal - stay away from snakes. (I wonder why Moses didn’t do the leprosy trick?). Turn the water into blood - the water was something the Egyptians would have to go to get - and they tried ...read more
