Sermons on Betrayal Feeling:

Judas Revealed-Defects Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 21, 2019

Judas name has been linked to treason for over 2,000 years as a result of his betrayal of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Judas did not act alone for we are told that at “The Last Supper” the devil entered into him. Is Judas responsible for what he did?

The Kisses You Do Not Want Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 17, 2013

Even back in Bible times (where they did a lot of kissing) there were certain kisses you didn’t want. And the worst kisses were those of enemies and betrayers. How did God say we should deal with people who attempt to deceive as those would?

(A Poem) Oh, innocent victims of Cupid, Remember this terse little verse To let a fool kiss you is stupid But to let a kiss fool you is worse. (Readers Digest 2/77 p.103) As I noted a couple of weeks ago, the Bible is just filled with kissing. They did a whole lot more kissing back then than we ...read more

Jesus Falls Again--For Us Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 21, 2022

Lord, You feel abandoned. Yet You are committed to Your path, to Your Father’s will. You can’t do it but You must do it. And all of us are the beneficiaries.

Jesus Falls Once Again (Those of us who have had the privilege and honor of a pilgrimage to the Holy Land always make Jerusalem part of the holy time. There, although the Jewish Temple has been replaced by a grand mosque, we can see the very places we read about in the New Testament, the actions ...read more

Hope For The Hopeless Series

Contributed by David Owens on Apr 5, 2021

God has given us the ability to feel the emotion of hopelessness, so that we will look for the ultimate source of hope. I believe that the resurrection of Jesus is the greatest source of hope in the universe.

A. Happy Easter to everyone – I’m so thankful we get to worship the Lord on this Easter Sunday! B. As we get started, I want to share this cartoon – it really tickled me. 1. The cartoon shows Jesus telling the angel that resurrection morning: “I want you to fold up my burial clothes, wait for ...read more

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 17, 2006

Do you feel insignificant in your service to God? You may be more powerful than you thought. Or do you feel pretty secure? You may be more in need and weak than you thought. Take some advice from Philadelphia and Laodicea.

Even as the Philadelphian church doesn’t receive even one rebuke - the church at Laodicea receives not one commendation - the contrast couldn’t be more stark - and that’s not the only contrast we’ll see as we compare these two churches. -The church at Philadelphia was small in appearance but ...read more

Burn Our Hearts Again

Contributed by Matthew Morine on Jan 2, 2008

We need to feel that fire again. We need to feel it in the heart again. Like days of old, where people were cut to the heart, and when Jesus up out the scriptures to the disciples and their hearts burned. Let us see the fire from heaven again.

BURN OUR HEARTS AGAIN TEXT: 1 KINGS 18:1-46 THEME: LORD MAKE OUR HEARTS BURN FOR YOU I remember 1 Kings 18 preached at Heritage Christian University during lectureship one year. It was being preached by Steven Guy. During this sermon I made a choice in my life. It was a choice that ...read more

Trust Above Your Circumstances

Contributed by Mark Haines on Apr 22, 2011

Our faith tends to rise and fall based on our circumstances. The more pain we feel the more doubt we express. But Jesus, even as he died on the cross, rose about his feelings of abandonment and entrusted his spirit into the Father’s care.

Introduction: I saw an article recently entitled, “God’s Friday.” That makes far more sense to me than “Good Friday.” There is nothing good about what happened to Jesus in and around Jerusalem about 2000 years ago. 1. Jesus’ Circumstances • Satan and his ...read more

Foreigner Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Sep 28, 2016

Maybe it's healthy for us to feel like foreigners on a journey to a foreign home. But God is not a foreigner to us. He is the very present Help in time of need, and He has chosen us as His dwelling place. We are the place where He feels most at home.

Ephesians 2:18 Through him [Jesus] we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus ...read more

God Sees Our Struggles And Has A Solution

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Apr 6, 2020

If you ever feel like life is out of your control, seems hopeless and you feel like no one can help, or even cares --- then look at the story of Hagar. Hagar teaches us that life is a struggle, yet God sees our struggles and offers a solution.

The book of Genesis tells about different people who heard directly from God. God spoke face to face with Adam and Eve in the Garden. He spoke to Noah and gave him instructions about building the Ark. Then you can see how God spoke with Abram and made a Covenant with him. This lesson, we are going ...read more

The Miracle Of Now

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Jul 19, 2020

We may not feel overqualified, what we feel will never have nothing to do with our qualification! If we’re ever going to see our needs met, we better start grabbing ahold of and standing on the fact that we have been qualified enough!

The Miracle of Now! John 11:40 NKJ 40.Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” What does the glory of God mean to you? *Is it food in your belly when you’re hungry and someone unexpectedly feeds you or buys you something to eat? *Is ...read more

We May Ask, Are Our Sacrifices Too Great For The Lord?

Contributed by William Tan Yh on Oct 24, 2020

Do we feel that the sacrifices that we made are too great? Do we feel weary and stress in our walk as a believer? We have been challenged to the extreme due to the storms that come our way. May this message bring comfort, faith and strength to you.

Today’s devotion is taken from Mark 14:3-9: “And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and she broke the flask and poured it over his head.

Failing As A Father Series

Contributed by Vince Miller on Oct 3, 2019

I don’t know any father or husband who doesn’t feel like he has failed on numerous occasions. This feeling of failure can cascade out of control and further prevent you from being the leader God wants you to be in the home.

God Inhabits Our Praises

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022

Do you feel as though you are not experiencing the Lord, or you feel as though you are having a dry spell in your life? Begin directing all of your heart unto the Lord, and sing praises unto His name, and He will show up in your life.

This evening I want to talk about the importance of praising God. Just how important is it that the Lord receives praise from His people? Allow me to open with a Biblical example. In Luke 19:37-38, the Scripture tells us: “Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the ...read more

Lessons For Ministry - Mark 9:14-29 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Dec 26, 2023

What do you do when you feel overwhelmed by the evil in the world—or in the church? You feel powerless to do anything of significance, and the unbelief and disobedience to God is so exasperating. This passage shows us what Jesus did in that situation, and it may surprise you.

Mark 9:14 When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them. 15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him. 16 "What are you arguing with them about?" he asked. 17 A man ...read more
