    Laughing Out Loud At God

    based on 24 ratings
     | 6,166 views

    If we adopt the Abraham/Sarah pattern of abandoning trust in divine promises, and choosing our preferred detours, and if we laugh at the promises of God, we invite catastrophe, and ensure that God will have the last laugh.

    1 of 3. Zacharias & Elizabeth were chosen to fulfill His plan of salvation for mankind. God chooses people for His most vital of ministries. But what are their circumstances? You may be chosen for the most vital of ministries in the midst of...

    CHOSEN for the MOST VITAL of MINISTRIES —Luke 1:5-25 Attention: There were two evil brothers. They were rich & used their money to keep their ways from the public eye.

    The Path Of Least Resistance

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Mar 11, 2023
     | 4,275 views

    This message is about walking with God and doing His will even when things are extremely difficult. It is human nature to choose the path of least resistance, but as a child of God, we can't in our service to Him.

    The Path of Least Resistance Scripture: Second Timothy 1:1-7; 4:2-4; First Samuel 15:1-3; 24 The title of my message this morning is “The Path of Least Resistance.” The path of least resistance is “the physical or symbolic pathway that provides the least resistance to forward motion by a ...read more

    God's Friends

    Contributed by Kevin Lockett on Sep 8, 2007
     | 3,377 views

    We can grow as friends of God by applying life lessons from three of God’s friends: David, Mary, and Peter. Appropriate for Pentecost, Confirmation, or honoring a pastor, deacon, teacher, or other faithful servant of God.

    “God’s Friends” Acts 2:1-21 The title for today’s sermon comes from a confirmation text book used in my church.(1) In fact, the scripture lessons I selected for today are actually the texts traditionally read in Christian churches around the world on Pentecost Sunday – the day on which ...read more

    My fellow laborers of the kingdom, it is getting harder to identify those who lead the Church of God. This is due to the fact that many are not sure about who we want to lead us in our pilgrimage to glory.

    GOD’S CHOSEN VESSEL Psalms 78:70-72 My fellow laborers of the kingdom, it is getting harder to identify those who lead the Church of God. This is due to the fact that many are not sure about who we want to lead us in our pilgrimage to glory. We want him ...read more

    Matthew 6 – Part 2 - Why Pray If God Already Knows My Needs? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 31, 2010
    based on 17 ratings
     | 21,297 views

    God chooses to answer me not because I have needs, but because I bring those needs to Him rather than try to meet them in my own strength. And He is not all that keen on repetition.

    Matthew 6 – Part 3 - WHY PRAY IF GOD ALREADY KNOWS MY NEEDS? So what is the use of praying if God already knows what I need? Matthew 6:7 and 8 says “When you pray, don’t babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again ...read more

    Sermon # 20 - A Seared Conscience Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 27, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,463 views

    If we do not listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we will allow our consciences to grow weak and get seared. The life of Lot and David will help us understand this better.

    In 1 Timothy 4:1-2, we read, “The Spirit says clearly that some people will abandon the faith in later times; they will obey lying spirits and follow the teachings of demons. Such teachings are spread by deceitful liars, whose consciences are dead, as if burnt with a hot iron.” (GNT) Our ...read more

     | 9,835 views

    Using the story of Elisha’s literal call to ministry as an allegory, we can draw several truths from this passage concerning whom God chooses to call into a work for Him.

    WHO IS CALLED TO SERVICE IN THE KINGDOM © 2002 Mark Beaird Text: 1 Kings 19:19-21 Many say that they want to be greatly used or at least used in some way in the Kingdom of God, and yet, the lack of action in their lives betrays their words. However, the truth is that if we do not want to be ...read more

    When a person chooses to believe the devil rather than God problems happen, so do not give up nor shup up until you have prayed up.

    One of the places that man suffers his major defeat is in the bed. The sudden trouble of a lot of people started on their beds. One wonderful thing that God can do for you in life is to give you power over the battle of the bed. When you win that battle you will start moving the way God wants you ...read more

    Flesh And Spirit: Love And Self-Control Series

    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,337 views

    Self-control is difficult for us because we are afraid of responsibility. But to have no form of control is to choose chaos. The answer is to build a relationship with Christ so close that His will becomes ours.

    Lot, a righteous man, lingering in Sodom - the result of a life making bad choices. Choices have consequences. How you choose determines the course of your life and your character.

    Lingering in Sodom Genesis 19:1-16 How in the world did Lot, a righteous man, wind up in such a situation – lingering in Sodom having to be dragged out of the city by God?

    God spoke to Elijah through the stillness, the quiet, the small voice. God did not answer or appear in the extraordinary, the wind, the earthquake or the fire. He certainly can, but oftentimes chooses the quiet.

    I want to tell you a true story, look at its ramifications and see how it applies to our lives today. It is a familiar story, an Old Testament story, a story of one of God’s greatest prophets and his calling.

    This sermon shows how, according to Psalm 1:1, any believer can choose to be "the man" who walks in God’s blessing and favor from this moment on.

    We’ve been talking in this series of messages about the fact that God wants His people to prosper in life. Our foundational verse for this series is Psalms 35:27b, which tells us that God “has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.” The word translated “prosperity” in this verse is the Hebrew ...read more
