    Work gets overwhelming. The people we work with seem hurtful and self serving. Yet, work is a place where we live out our faith--a setting where we must learn to be more Christlike.

    Part of Experiencing God series: God may not seem to be at work, but He is, according to His own purposes, and using instruments we may not see. Our task is to trust Him and get out of His way!

    You’re driving along the road, and you come upon a roadblock. Somebody is holding up a sign which says, "Slow, men at work." What do you see? What do you do?

    No one likes being called a "fool." Yet, the Bible says a man who says there is no God, well, get ready to change your name. Let’s examine more what the Bible says about the matter!

    Introduction How many times have you heard someone say, "She’d be a fool to take him back." or "You’re a bigger fool than I thought you were." or "Boy was I a fool to believe that." Regardless of it’s use, it leaves a strong taste in all of our mouths and rightly so! It’s not the worst but it’s ...read more

    Have you ever noticed how much the Bible teaches about suffering for the cause of Christ? Are you ready to walk with Jesus through the valley of suffering in order to receive a crown of life? Let’s get ready.

    Preparing for Persecution A couple of years ago we had a bad wind storm and afterward, as Jenny and I walked around our block we saw where a huge tree had fallen on top of a neighbor’s van. The van looked like a new one, but it was totaled by the tree. There were lots of other big trees in the ...read more

    All of us get to the point where we feel we can’t go any further. By looking at the words of Paul, we can learn how to keep going when we can’t go on !

    How To Keep Going When You Can’t Go On 2 Cor. 4:1-18 I believe my sermon title tonight would be called a oxymoron. It doesn’t hardly make sense does it. Yet, there are times when we must keep going when we just feel like we can’t. Have you ever said, " I just don’t know how ...read more

    Ambassadors With Contradictions

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 3, 2001
    based on 19 ratings
     | 7,056 views

    We live with contradictory feelings about many things, including our church. We do not get the gift of reconciliation fully until there is conflict, but God wants to give the gift of reconciliation now, if we will accept it.

    Church, some say, should be a place of peace. Church should be a place where we can come after a week of dealing with conflicts, fears, and doubts, and find peace. I was told we don’t want conflict at church. And I do understand. I do understand why, when we come to the hour of worship, we want ...read more

    based on 54 ratings
     | 5,750 views

    Sometimes God allows things to get difficult so He can produce greater joy in and through and with us. Jesus knew that His Father often used tragedy to cause people to look to heaven for solutions to their problems.

    John 15:11-16 Illustration: A cynic asked an elderly believer who had endured great physical pain for 20 years, "What do you think of your God now?" The godly sufferer replied, "I think of Him more than ever." Sorrow can be the means of bringing us heart-to-heart with God. When repeated strokes ...read more

     | 9,391 views

    Have your dreams died? Do you think the future holds no hope for you. Think again! God can raise up things that have died.......if He can get us to believe Him.

    Death is definitely not a subject that is high on our list of topics for discussion. It seems so contradictory to say, but the truth of the matter is, that, death is a part of life. Death is an unavoidable, inevitable experience. It is the last experience we encounter in the physical, natural ...read more

    Contributed by Mark Baker on Jul 25, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,975 views

    Our Lord has a way of cutting right through the fluff and getting straight to what is important. Peter was really set up to answer this question. It is the most important question any of us could ever be asked, as well.

    Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?’’ 14. So they said, "Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’’ 15. He said to them, "But who do you say ...read more
