    Sermon # 39 - Possible With God Alone Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 24, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 276 views

    The one thing that is a chief contender for our love and allegiance to God is the riches of this world. If we desire to inherit eternal life we must choose to know God, love Him above all else and keep money in its rightful place. What seems impossible with men is possible with God alone.

    We read in Mark 10:27, “Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” (ESV) Mankind has advanced in leaps and bounds in science, technology, industrialization and medicine. However, all of these progressions have still left us ...read more

    If you want to find real joy in the face of an uncertain future, renounce your own good and wise deeds; stop devising your own schemes. Instead, fear God and please Him through faith in His Son.

    Ruth displayed her sacrificial love and service to her mother in law, Naomi by her willingness to glean in the field of Boaz even in the heat of the sun. Such godly character produced a blessing that transformed Naomi's bitterness into hope and joy.

    We are continuing our study in the book of Ruth. Last week, we studied chapter one concerning a man from Judah named Elimelech relocating his entire family to Moab, the land of pagan idol worshipers. Elimelech lived during the time of the Judges, was married to Naomi and they had two sons, named ...read more

    Contributed by John Lowe on May 7, 2014

    We are to pray so that we might commune with God and share with Him the most deeply felt needs of our lives. We are to express to God the gratitude and the praise and the joy we feel in Him and in salvation. Paul elaborated on the purpose of prayer.

    Title: The Purpose of Prayer Text: “Meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains, that I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.” (Colossians 1:3-4). Bible Reading: Colossians ...read more

    Remember that everyone in your life has a reason and a purpose, whether they bring joy or challenge. Value them, pray for them, and appreciate them. By doing this, we not only grow in our faith, but we also reflect the love and grace of Christ to the world around us.

    Sermon: Valuing, Praying, and Appreciating People Around Us Beloved, God has granted us the freedom to choose our friends, but it is God who selects our neighbors. We don't get to choose the people we find ourselves surrounded by at work or in our communities; God places them in our lives for ...read more

    Worry kills us, it destroys our joy and takes many things from our lives. Let’s study today what God’s word has to tell us in light of this.

    So what does God’s word tell us about this preoccupation many of us have with worrying? Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? ...read more

    Funeral sermon for Vera Byars, court information specialist and amateur dancer. Ballroom, minuet/ballet, tap -- whatever style she used, it all witnessed to a life of joy. This is not any longer a time to mourn.

    I agree with the Scripture, where it says that, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” I agree with that, because we know that some things are fine, in their place, but they are not appropriate in other places. There is a time and a season for everything, ...read more
