    Discerning Whether That "Open Door" Is From God

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 14, 2007

    This message looks at situations where we take something to be God’s hand when often there are other causes at work.

    Life Principle: Every “open door” doesn’t have God’s hand on the handle. - If you listen to testimonies, you’ll hear plenty of stories of “coincidences” that were divinely orchestrated. Someone just happens to be at the store at the right moment to share a witness. Someone just happens to ...read more

    Scanners Set To Discernment: Examples Of UFO Religions

    To most Americans, the idea of beings from beyond this world does not at the moment impact their lives to any appreciable degree. Usually to most people the consideration of the topic is more akin to a transient pondering that may creep intermittently into their minds from time to time. Sadly, in ...read more

     | 3,075 views

    Learning from the mistakes of others is the best way to learn. These two lessons consider David's great life and some of the roots behind his worst failures. Based on the book by Charles Swindoll, "David: A man of passion and destiny."

    “A tree is best measured when it’s down.” David was a man after God’s own heart. And yet, he made tons of mistakes. As we learn from his mistakes, let’s also learn from his response to those mistakes! Not only did David leave us a lifetime of lessons about things ...read more

    There are enemies who are within the camp of God and pretend to be serving Christ, yet they are deceivers who have been sent by the devil to abuse the flock. In this sermon we will focus on how to identify whether a person has been sent by God or by the devil.

    In the previous chapter we learnt that there are some enemies who are within the camp of God and pretend to be serving Christ, yet they are deceivers who have been sent by the devil to abuse the flock.

    Encourage the church to confront evil, understand the reality of spiritual warfare, and pray for discernment to distinguish between God's truth and the enemy's lies, using the example of King Saul's disobedience in 1 Samuel 28:8.

    Good morning, church family. Today, we're gonna dive into a passage that's a bit of a tough one, but it's crucial for our understanding about how evil can creep into our midst, the reality of spiritual warfare, and our need for discerning hearts and prayerful spirits.

    There are moments in history when God’s people cannot afford to be spiritually asleep. Moments when we must wake up, watch, and wisely walk. In David’s day, the men of Issachar were like this. They understood the signs of the times and knew what Israel should do.

    Go! And… Discern the Times — What is the Issachar Anointing? - 1 Chronicles 12:32 1 Chronicles 12:32 (NLT): “From the tribe of Issachar, there were 200 leaders of the tribe with their relatives. All these men understood the signs of the times and knew the best course for Israel to ...read more

    How To Understand The Times, And Leadership In Times Of Crisis

    A leader is not born, and not made in times of crisis, but are revealed to the world when crisis struck. Today's crisis has revealed a lack of leadership in the church.

    In today's world, knowing what to do in times of crisis can give a nation or a person the needed advantage to overcome adverse situations. But a shortfall of not knowing what to do can spell more trouble, anxiety, and fear in the midst of uncertainty and a wanting leadership. And this true in ...read more

    A Lesson In Evangelism From Philip And The Ethiopian Eunuch

    Contributed by Paul Green on May 19, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,117 views

    When Philip introduces the Ethopian Eunuch to Jesus – he does it God’s way. Philip wasn't an Apostle like Peter, a missionary like Paul, or a pastor like Timothy. He was a deacon, a servant of the church, an ordinary, average man who just couldn’t keep God to himself.

    There was a man on a business trip and when he checked in he was given one of the middle seats on the airplane. He was tired and he all he wanted to do was sleep, so he got a little bit irritated when the young girl sat next to him started to ask questions: “Mister, do you brush your teeth?” “Yes,” ...read more

    Man’s view of the church is often very different from the one Jesus demonstrated and Paul described.

    I can stand anywhere in my back yard and see my church. It sits rather majestically at the apex of our little town. Its stained glass windows chronicle its founders. Inside, a huge chandelier hovers over our pew. I don’t know who appointed us to sit in that particular pew, but it must have been ...read more
