     | 6,310 views

    What causes people to lose the presence of God?

    A. WHAT CAUSES PEOPLE TO LOSE THE PRESENCE OF GOD? 1. When people were not led by a man of God (shepherd). “Moses delayed coming down” (v. 1). 2. When people look with eyes of sight, not eyes of faith. “The people saw” (v. 1). 3. When people sought comfort and guidance from other sources not from ...read more

    Spiritual Leaks

    Contributed by Anoop Samuel on Dec 17, 2022

     | 5,133 views

    A spiritual leak is a term that describes the loss of spiritual vitality and connection with God that can occur when we blame Him for our problems. It is like a hole in our spiritual armor that allows the enemy to infiltrate and attack us.

    Spiritual Leaks The Lord said to Job, “Do you still want to argue with the almighty? You are God’s critic, but do you have the answers?” Job 40:1-2 Ever had a leaky faucet? If so, you may be aware that ignoring even a small leak can prove costly. When it comes to experiencing God’s peace, there’s ...read more

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 33 – The Most Horrible Conditions Caused Through Starvation - Chapter 4:8-11 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 7, 2025
     | 322 views

    For some they will find this section of Lamentations distasteful but it is scripture and must not be ignored. It speaks of the effects of starvation, and women boiling their children. We MUST understand what is behind all that and I address that issue. Try to read and meditate.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 33 – THE MOST HORRIBLE CONDITIONS CAUSED THROUGH STARVATION - CHAPTER 4:8-11 We continue working through Chapter 4 and right now have been looking at the terrible conditions of the starving people. Some turn away from this but we are speaking about the word of God ...read more

    Happiness In Mourning...say What? Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,822 views

    The Beatitudes paint a counter-culture picture of the character of a Christian. Blessing is found in poverty of spirit, and in mourning. Doesn’t seem possible, but it’s a truth that Jesus taught in His Sermon on the Mount.

    Here we go. The Sermon on the Mount covers three chapters in the book of Matthew. Chapters five through seven. In chapter five Jesus teaches us about the? Law of God. Chapter six is about living in the? Presence of God. And Chapter seven will walk us through the? Judgment of God. But ...read more

    The Rise Of Lawlessness

    Contributed by Larry Cockerham on Oct 11, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,965 views

    Various reasons for the recent rioting have been offered; such as, multiculturalism, poverty, unemployment; but the Bible predicts that the spirit of lawlessness will undoubtedly increase as the closing stages of this dispensation draws near.

    State Police Commissioner Ken Moroney said this past week that the recent riots had destroyed the festive season for the residents of Sydney, Australia’s largest city. The disturbances were described as some of the worst outbreaks in their history. Fierce gangs numbering up to 5000 young white men ...read more

    Enough

     | 16,941 views

    Wealth leads us to illusions wherein we lose sight of God; poverty leads us to spiritual disease. Pray for enough to satisfy real needs and to be able to give for others.

    You don’t have to raise your hands on this one. But I do wonder how many of you spent some time this week fantasizing about that Powerball lottery. What would you have done with $250,000,000? What dreams would you have indulged? What unthinkable thoughts did you think? Well, now, I, being a ...read more

    Pressured by the possibility of losing a dear child! Threat for their lives! Injustice and discrimination! Grinding poverty and hard labor! They found the answer through the basket. The basket carried by God’s hand

    Fourth Sunday In Ordinary Time- The Real Meaning Of "blessed Are The Poor In Spirit.”

    The other, more important meaning, is that there will be a coming reversal of circumstances for those who are unfortunate, the marginalized, the abused, those who live in poverty, so these beatitudes are not just virtues to attain in this life.

    Dear Abby, the popular advice column in the newspaper still published today with authorship changes, once received a letter that describes the "if only" attitude: "It was Spring, But it was Fall I wanted, the colorful leaves and the cool dry air. It was Fall, but it was Winter I ...read more

    Generosity Series

    “They all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on”. (Mark 12:44)

    Generosity is one of the hallmarks of the Christian life and this is not surprising as it belongs to the attributes of God. Generosity is love in action “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son”. You cannot love and not be generous. You can be generous without loving but you cannot ...read more

     | 2,726 views

    Jesus' birth was cause for lots of rejoicing. But wasn't it a long time ago? Is it still cause for rejoicing for us? It certainly is!

    [This is a short sermon / reflection for a short Christmas Day service.] Earlier in the service we reminded ourselves of the Christmas story. Perhaps we thought: that’s a nice story. But does it really affect me? In the Christmas story in the Bible there’s a constant note of joy. Elizabeth ...read more

    When all we have is a few loaves and fishes, God can help us feed a multitude.

    Intro, Goal and Plan What can we do with meager human resources? Is there an answer in the Gospels? Let’s understand the invisible dimension of life, Jesus. Let’s examine Matthew 14:13-21, the miracle of feeding the 5,000 and see how it applies to us today. Matthew 14:13-14 He was Moved with ...read more

     | 4,457 views

    Persecution can cause the believer to stumble and fall. It can cause us to sometimes question our own beliefs. It can cause us to weaken and return to the way of false religion. It can make us not want to witness. And sometimes this persecution can ca
