    The Spirit Picks Up The Tab

    Contributed by Edward Frey on Jul 20, 2002

    When God’s people are suffering they don’t always know how to pray. Thanks to God’s gracious promise that the Holy Spirit prays on our behalf!

    I have many fond memories of my late grandmother. One of my favorites was the way she always argued about who would pay the bill at the restaurant. It would never fail. I’d invite her out to lunch and we’d have a nice visit together until the waiter brought the bill. It was as if my grandma grew ...read more

    "The Power Of Endurance”

    I’m always amazed at the lack of endurance that is seen in the area of faith when it comes to the saints of God. Not trying to be funny at all, but overall the body of Christ is very lazy.

    “The Power of Endurance” Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ ...read more

    Calling All Shepherds

    To challenge the heareres to identify themselves not always as the lost sheep but to see themselves as "lead sheep" or shepherds by caring and loving God’s "sheep", using Jesus Christ as their example.

    Before we go to the Word, let us open with a word of prayer: Gracious God, you are the Good Shepherd. As we come now to your Word, help us, your sheep, to hear your voice so that we may receive the message you have for us. Lord, I ask that you use me as your vessel, so that those who hear will ...read more

    The Living God - [preaching]

    based on 94 ratings
     | 18,622 views

    Biblical preaching always leads to DECISION, sometimes to DISTURBANCE, and, as is the case in America today, often to DIVISION. Good applications for not worshiping Man/Pope, etc. Powerpoint at website.

    The Living God Acts 14:1-19 Powerpoint at: http://www.gbcdecatur.org/sermons/LivingGod.html We just celebrated Easter and how one claiming to be God proved it by rising again from the dead. And if John Paul II comes back to life following his death then that will be more evidence than just his ...read more

    Even A Little Can Hurt

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on May 30, 2006
    based on 37 ratings
     | 3,550 views

    We cannot play around with temptation because we are not strong enough to resist it for long, and when temptation is taken, it will always lead us into sin - away from God.

    Have you ever noticed how opportunity only knocks once, but temptation seems to keep banging away until you answer the door? It’s always there waiting to entice us, and unless we are constantly on guard against it, we will slip and succumb to it. It might be the temptation of fear; the temptation ...read more

    Making God'y Choices Series

    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,290 views

    We need to try our best to make Godly decisions because what God wants for us isn’t always the same thing that the culture wants for us.

    ***Start off with Choose Your Own Adventure*** Throughout our lives we are going to have to make a lot of decisions. Most often when we are thinking about what direction to go or what decision to make we try to make the decision that is best for us. In our culture we are told that picking the job ...read more

    Have you ever felt like you werent’ sure who you were in Christ? He is always with you no matter what you go through in life.

    Losing Our Identity Genesis 42:5-10(N.A.S.) 5. So the sons of Israel came to buy grain among those who were coming, for the famine was in the land of Canaan also. 6. Now Joseph was the ruler over the land; He was the one who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s brothers came and bowed ...read more

    What Does Faith Say?

    Contributed by Nieta Lambert on Feb 9, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,045 views

    Often when faced with obstacles and tests as Christians, we tend to respond by what we feel or think but Scripture teaches us a better way - a way to always be victorious.

    Introduction: By simply being human beings we are going to face struggles throughout our lives. Some will be small and we’ll barely notice them but others will seem like tsunamis that threaten to drown us. As Christians these struggles take on a different air. Yes, even those who are not ...read more

    We do not always understand what God is up to, nor do we understand how He does things in a way that would benefit us in the end.

    God of Increase 1Kings 17:1 -15 Introduction: It doesn’t matter in what situation we are in right now. The bottom line is this: God is great, and He is able and willing to meet all our needs. I don’t know about you. but I’ve noticed how God can, at times be “strange” in the manner by which He ...read more

    People search and search for significance and it seems always out of reach. Jesus came not only to give life but to enable us to actually, truly live with purpose and joyful hope.

    The Meaning of Life Griffith Baptist Church – 3/29/09 A.M. Service Text: John 11:20-25 (1-44) Key verse: John 11:25 - Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: Premise: People search and search for significance and ...read more

    End Time 3 (A) - Believers are reminded that faithfulness yields fruitfulness. This means we are to always use God’s gifts and never abuse God’s gifts.

    Christ’s Childhood Series

    Contributed by Paul Clemente on Aug 22, 2011
     | 6,704 views

    As Christians, we have responsibilities on earth (family, work, school, society, etc…), but we must always remember where we ultimately belong (we are citizens of heaven)!

    When Jesus Christ was on earth, He was fully man and fully God! This of course is a mystery, but it is truth. This is similar to the truth and mystery of God is One but exists in Three Persons. If Jesus Christ was fully man and fully God on earth, how was His growing up? God gives us a glimpse of ...read more

    God's Word: The Strainer Of Truth Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 7, 2011
     | 6,017 views

    The Scriptures do not address all eventualities or issues; we still must use godly wisdom to fill in the cracks. Nonetheless, God's true will always passes the Scriptural strainer.

    God's Word: The Strainer of Truth (Acts 15:6-18) 1. I have only made applesauce once in my life, and that was a month or two back when the Newells brought all those apples to church for all of us. 2. I made sauce the easy way; I had a press down apple corer / section maker, and then threw the apple ...read more

    Abiding In Perfect Love

    Contributed by Glenn Bleakney on Jun 14, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,754 views

    It is the desire of the heavenly Father for His people always to experience the full inheritance of His covenant love and mercy. The Apostle John calls such a place of attainment in God “perfect love”.

    It is truly amazing to think of the mercy and forbearance that God bestows upon sinners. Undoubtedly, the Lord has the power to cut off our very existence. The Scripture affirms, “Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust” (Psalm ...read more
