    You’re here by the will of our DIVINE CREATOR!

    How To Be Used By God

    based on 17 ratings
     | 7,071 views

    We often talk about wanting to be used by God but aren’t willing to discuss what we must be willing to do for that to happen.

    Introduction: Do you think God can use you? As Christians we should have the confidence that God can use us, but often we don’t. Why? The simple answer is a lack of faith, but what does that mean? Jesus talked about faith moving mountains, but most of us don’t have any connection with that level ...read more

    Through all the ages, the God of the Bible has been and is a missionary God! Because God created all things and all people, the message of the Bible includes every human being. From the beginning, Scripture presents the search of God, not only for Abraham or Israel, but for people from every ...read more

    Many people boast about their wisdom, might, or riches, but Jeremiah shares in this message the only true reason to glory. If you want to glory in anything, glory in God and proclaim His power throughout the world.

    Jeremiah 9:23-24 Intro: Jeremiah was a young priest denouncing the practice of worshiping images. Jeremiah gave reason to worship the true God, His creative power and providential care. Although Jeremiah's message was strong and his faith deep in God, the people would reject his ...read more

    To show in GOD's WORDS that astonishment, amazement is still not faith, you have to have faith in your heart that will declare your heart's content before GOD.

    I. EXORDIUM: Don't be amazed just believe? John 14:1 John 14:1 DO NOT let your hearts be troubled (distressed, agitated). You believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God; believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on Me. II. AUDIENCE PROFILE: Believers III. ...read more

     | 12,300 views

    At Pentecost, God enabled Jesus' disciples to do what they could not do on their own. God fulfilled Jesus' promise to spread the gospel to all lands, as the pilgrims heard the good news in thier own language. God calls us, too, to be his witnesses.

    Acts 2:1-21 Drawing on the Power of God A few days after the Thanksgiving holiday of 2016, Eric Heffelmire was working on his GMC truck at his family home in Vienna, Virginia. As he recalls, “I was on my back, face up, and I was trying to get some corroded brake lines when apparently the jack ...read more

     | 5,167 views

    The way that JAMES introduces himself tells us that he possesses the character trait of HUMILITY. Today we want to learn about that character trait so that we can apply it to the way that we relate to others.

    James, Servant of God James 1:1 How do you introduce yourself? The way you introduce yourself says a lot about you. SOME.... Tell you their life story. SOME.... Ask questions about the other person. SOME.... Wait to be introduced. Whether it is on a RESUME, or at a PARTY, or your FIRST DAY at a ...read more

     | 22,546 views

    Each one reconciled by Christ is to be involved in reconciling the world to God. But not all those in the church are. They have missed their ministry. According to our text, they have received the grace of God in vain.

    2 CORINTHIANS [5:17-] 6: 1-2 [GAINING PERSPECTIVE Series] THAT THE GRACE OF GOD BE NOT IN VAIN [Luke 16:1-13] The first two verses in the sixth chapter carry on the instruction from chapter 5 concerning our calling and task as ambassadors.
