    Spot Of Leprosy (Hix)

    Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Mar 20, 2014
     | 5,207 views

    Your sinful habits can be passed on to your spouse, your children, your grandchildren, to your community. Oh, if we only would say to our family, Unclean, Unclean! So they would not pick up our bad habits, our sinful habits!

    Verse 7-8-But if the scab should at all spread over the skin, after he has been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen by the priest again. And if the priest sees that the scab has indeed spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is leprosy. Leprosy can ...read more

    Frequently when we experience bad circumstances we begin feeling like God doesn’t love us or has failed to keep His Word. God's trying to teach us to trust Him no matter what our situations look like.

    DON’T PUT A QUESTION MARK WHERE GOD PUTS A PERIOD! Judges 6:13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: BED FEARS 1. From childhood, a man had a terrible fear that someone was under his bed at night. Finally he went to a Psychiatrist, who told him he could solve his problems. 2. "Just put yourself in my ...read more

    For many of us, a new year is a time for resolutions and getting rid of bad habits. Today is January the 8th…so far, so good! Someone was writing down New Year resolutions: “Gain weight, save less money, set realistic goals.”

    Norman Vincent Peal spent New Year’s Eve in Rome. A friend warned him to stay inside his hotel for his own safety, because people have a habit of throwing old, unwanted things out their windows on New Year’s Eve. He explained, “If you should be walking down the street, you’re likely to have an ...read more

    The Pharisees Confront Jesus: What Does It Mean To Be A Hypocrite? An Issue Of The Heart Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jul 10, 2023
     | 1,486 views

    The Pharisees today are often regarded as hypocrites, mean, nasty, people who killed Jesus, and it’s true that they plotted against Jesus. But in general these were not bad people. These were religious leaders trying to help the people live according to God’s ways.

    A lot of the scriptures that we look at, I feel like we get to understand another piece of the puzzle about who Jesus really is. It’s like we dive into a moment in history and we get to look over the shoulder of Jesus and see what he does, and why he does it, and we’re amazed. We want to live like ...read more

    God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. As we study the life of King Uzziah we too will learn some important lessons on how we can stay humble, and acknowledge God in everything.

    We read in 2 Corinthians 9:8, “And God is able to give you more than you need, so that you will always have all you need for yourselves and more than enough for every good cause.” (GNB) As we continue our study based on this verse we realized that God is indeed able to meet all of our needs, and ...read more

    End Of The Grace Period

    Contributed by Joe Harding on Apr 18, 2001
    based on 44 ratings
     | 9,762 views

    Our text for today mimics this thought. The living God of all creation has gone from “They are all my children,” to “They must belong to someone else.” But, what has befallen humanity that the Creator HIMSELF would wish it was all a bad dream?

    “END OF THE GRACE PERIOD” GENESIS 6: 9-22 JANUARY 28, 2001 INTRODUCTION: An anonymnous pastor wrote the following: In the first five years of my ministry, I had a sign on my desk that read, “Win the World for Christ!” In my second five years of ministry, I put up a new sign that read, “Win One ...read more

    God wants us to understand: 1. Failure is not final. 2. Bad results can be redeemed. 3. The future is open. True change comes when: 1. You have a new occupant 2. You seek truth 3. You change your actions

    A little boy went out to the ball field by himself, wearing his baseball cap and carrying a bat and ball. In his eye was the look of steely determination. He was so full of confidence that he put his bat on his shoulder, tossed the ball into the air, and said, “I’m the greatest batter in the ...read more

     | 3,391 views

    The comparison of Naaman in 2 Kings5:1-14 and the leper healed by Jesus in Mark 1:40-45 reveals to us that we should follow God’s leading and do what God tells us in the good as well as the bad places of our lives.

    Doing What You’re Told – Mark 1: 40 – 45 / 2 Kings 5: 1 - 14 Intro: I was the youngest grandchild on both sides of my family. Consequently, I was always being told what to do. That was one thing I disliked about being the youngest. Yet, when I questioned why I should do something I always got ...read more

    This sermon is one of encouragement to the believers. People at times will try to make you feel bad of your past life. No matter what you have done Jesus the Christ will meet you where you are and will forgive you of your sins if you want Him to.

    Introduction: When we think of the term Superman, our first thought is that man named Clark Kent who was a reporter for the Daily Journal. He was arkward, clumsy, appeared weak, defenseless, and was always in someone’s way. He was highly in love with Lois Lane and was too shy to let her know. ...read more

    We’ve got to learn how to keep our JOY even when it doesn’t seem like things are going our way. HOW CAN WE HAVE JOY?-----Even when things are going bad? --We have to KNOW some things.

    I want to share a little story I heard about a little boy. "I’m the greatest baseball player in the world. I can hit the ball better than anyone" he said proudly.

     | 27,341 views

    Elijah’s experience tells us that no matter how saved you are you’re going to have some bad days. Your faith will be tried, there are seasons in your life when you will question what you believe, when you will doubt your faith.

    1st Kings 19:4 – LORD I THINK I’VE HAD ENOUGH It is enough; now, 0 LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers. Life is composed of experiences and encounters that provide challenge to one’s character and testing to one’s spirit. Life’s greatest wars are never fought on a ...read more

     | 3,067 views

    At the beginning of every year we make decisions to improve our life. We try to lose weight, kick that bad habit, or just be a better person. In this sermon we explore how to have true peace in our lives which only comes through God.

    These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. – John 16:33   * This is the time of year that suicide is up because so many people are depressed and suffer from a lack of peace in their ...read more

    How do you handle impending doom? You know, those times when something bad is happening and it's about to get much worse? Jesus faced the ultimate in impending doom in the Garden of Gethsemane. How He handled it is a model for us in times of difficulty.

    The stage has been set, the lights have dimmed. The players have taken their places and learned their lines. All the blocking is complete and the production of Jesus’ crucifixion is ready to begin. From Chapter 14 verse 12 the action is nearly non-stop leading to the betrayal, arrest, trial, ...read more
