    It's Not Much, But You Can Have It

    based on 54 ratings
     | 23,584 views

    Shamgar is only mentioned twice in the book of Judges - in out text and in 5:6-7. Shamgar’s story almost seems incidental, but because he was too important to be omitted he is included in the Scriptures.

    It’s not much, but you can have it! Judges 3:31 Israel should have been fully enjoying the Promised Land but their inconsistency in obeying God and their imitation of the idolatrous culture around them led to failure. Israel had a habit of turning from God. Whenever they did so God would ...read more

     | 10,224 views

    1. Where are you drawing your strength from? 2. Are you relying on tradition, law, race, rank, religion, or sincerity? 3. Do you expect recognition when helping out someone in need?

    The Source of Our Strength- Philippians 3:1-11 Introduction: We all fall into the trap of comparing ourselves with others around us. For some reason we think we are better than those to whom we are comparing ourselves with and we think that makes us right with God. We find ourselves picking at the ...read more

    Trading Places

     | 2,919 views

    Sometimes Trading Places with things we think we can do -- or seem right to do doesn’t work out. Have you traded the real you -- your character -- for someone that really isn’t you? Trying desperately to please people just so you will be accepted? Knowin

    Sometimes Trading Places with things we think we can do -- or seem right to do doesn’t work out. Paul addressed that with the Romans… The Romans were dedicated to serving and worshipping their gods, but Paul saw that they needed to Trade Places with the one true God.

    based on 1 rating
     | 13,283 views

    Just as the wine ran out at the wedding feast, so can our wine run out. Sometimes we experience "dry times" in our life and ministry. When the wine runs out, let's run to Jesus for He is the one Who turns the water into wine.

    WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE WINE RUNS OUT? John 2:1-11 The first miracle of our Lord took place in a town called, Cana of Galilee. The event was a wedding. Cana was a inconspicuous little town that lay outside of Nazareth. Cana had no social prominence in its day! In fact, biblical scholars took 1800 ...read more

    The Gospels record 17 specific occasions when Jesus prayed. Jesus prayed at different times of the day. He prayed in different places. Sometimes He prayed on His own, and sometimes when His Disciples were with Him.

    Why did Jesus pray? This morning as we continue in our series on Dynamic Disciples our focus this month is on Prayer. The Bible records the words of 222 specific prayers - actual worded prayers, not just references to prayer with statements like he prayed or he called upon the name of the Lord, ...read more

    How can the God who maintains absolute Justice, dismiss the charges of the guilty? Yet God's hyphenated name is God-Who-Forgives! How can this be?
