Sermons on Ask Yourself:

Not "Why, Oh Why?" But Who!

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Oct 9, 2005

Why has this happened to me? I’m sure God asked me to do this, say that, move to that job, challenge that leader! Yes, God asked me to do that and now everything has got worse! Why? What do I do? Who do I trust?

Exodus 5:22 to 6:12 THERE ARE TIMES IN OUR LIVES WHEN WE WANT GOD TO MOVE EXACTLY AS WE WANT HIM TO MOVE. BUT GOD MOVES IN HIS OWN TIME, AND IN HIS OWN WAY. A STORY IS TOLD OF PHILLIP BROOKS, A FAMOUS PASTOR OF THE 19TH CENTURY WHO WAS IN HIS OFFICE WORKING ON A SERMON. HE WAS PACING THE FLOOR AND ...read more

We had a baptism this morning, and I think if you’d searched through the Bible for the most inappropriate Gospel story to feature today, you couldn’t have done better (or rather worse) that the one we had this morning - the story of the death of John the Baptist!

Lord, What Do You Want Me To Do?

Contributed by Mark Price on Jul 24, 2007

Each and every one of us have a purpose. God desires for each of us to know Him though His Son. But beyond salvation, He has a plan for each of us. Eventually, we must ask the question Saul of Tarsus asked: "Lord, what do You want ME to do?"

Key Verse: 6a Introduction Q: “Lord, what do you want me to do?” What a question! What a novel idea! Asking the Creator what He desires of His creation. You might say that Saul was a “religious man.” Actually he was a very religious man! He knew how to pray. He had devoted himself to the ...read more

Saved – Saved From What?

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Feb 16, 2013

We ask people “Are you saved?” expecting them to understand what we are talking about. When asked, the response we get might be “Saved? Saved from what?” What does it mean to be saved? If we are saved, from what are we saved?

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Oct 3, 2016

Last week I asked what love had to do with salvation, my relationship with God, my relationship with others and lastly, I asked what love had to do with my service for God. Today I’ll be focusing on what love has to do with various relationships in life.

Lord, Teach Us To Pray Series

Contributed by Chris Anderson on Mar 10, 2023

The disciples spent an amazing amount of time with Jesus and would have had many opportunities for them to ask him to teach them something. And of all the amazing things they could have asked Jesus to teach them, only one thing is recorded: “Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1).

Imagine with me for a moment that you’re one of Jesus’ disciples. You’ve been following him around for a little while now and you’ve seen him do some pretty incredible things…you’ve seen him heal crippled people, you’ve seen him cast out demons, you even saw him speak life into a dead guy. You’ve ...read more

Contributed by James Wallace on Apr 12, 2022
