    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,926 views

    Some women gave up their mirrors so the bronze Laver could be built. What remarkable women, what a remarkable sacrifice, what a remarkable change of heart; abandoning the outward image of Eve to develop the inner image of Jesus.

    WHEN WOMEN QUIT LOOKING IN THE MIRROR Ex. 38:8 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THEY CAUGHT A MERMAID 1. Three guys were out fishing one day when, out of the blue, they caught a mermaid who said she’d grant each of them a wish if they’d set her free. 2. “Okay,” said the first guy, “double my IQ.” The ...read more

    This is a talk for a group of boys from 6-18 years of age who live at one of The Salvation Army Child Developement Centres in Sri Lanka. A short message that tells them who they can trust throughout their lives and at this time.

    A short sermon for the Swedlanka Child Development Centre.

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,022 views

    Joseph is underestimated in his role in the Christmas story – he was especially chosen by God, had many internal battles to fight to obey God, had a unique relationship with God, and played a formative role in the development of the personality of the Son of God.

    THE MAN BEHIND THE MANGER Matt. 1:18-25 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: FAXING MONEY 1. Often people resist trying new technology. One young woman tried to get her mother, a secretary, to start using the fax machine in her office instead of using the post office. 2. Although she told her many times ...read more

    How Do You Handle Problems?

    Contributed by Lola Olanrewaju on Sep 14, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 21,506 views

    Life is a series of problem-solving opportunities. The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you depending on how you handle them. We need to realise that God wants to use problems for good in our lives.

    I came across a sign post sometimes ago which says: "Be kind For everyone you meet is fighting a battle." “Fighting a battle” in this context means facing one problem or the other.  There are people including Christians facing the problem of bereavement, joblessness, barrenness, sicknesses, ...read more

    Palace Or The Pasture

    based on 8 ratings
     | 20,853 views

    what made David who he was, was not developed in the fanfare of the palace, but in the isolation of a pasture... long before he played for Saul, he played for God. Before defeating the giant, he practiced on trees, targets, bears and lions.

    Palace or the Pasture 1 Samuel 16:11 KJV [11] And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep.

    There will be obstacles, setbacks, challenges throughout our lives. It’s especially true if you are on a quest for the Lord. By developing tenacity, we can give ourselves the fuel to keep going. It will help in the short term to overcome the daily distractions.

The definition of the word is: the quality or fact of being able to grip something firmly; the quality or fact of being very determined; the quality or fact of ...read more

    Grace refers to God lavishing us with free gifts, His undeserved and unearned favor. His gifts include salvation, forgiveness of sins, endurance, strengthening and encouragement, the virtues he develops in us, and a host of other gracious gifts.

    By Grace Alone (Romans 11:6, 4:16, Ephesians 2:8-9) 1. There is a joke on the net that makes a good point about salvation by grace. A man dies and goes to heaven. The admittance angel meets him at the pearly gates. The angel says, "Here's how it works. You need 100 points to make it into heaven. ...read more

    16. The Kingdom Parables – The Fourth – The Leaven – Part 3 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 8, 2025
     | 115 views

    We look into the church at Thyatira in more detail to see how wicked it really was. That church parallels the Parable of the Leaven. It also represents the period of Church History with the development of the Roman Catholic Church that grew out of the Pergamum church.

    16. THE KINGDOM PARABLES – THE FOURTH – THE LEAVEN – Part 3 NOW WHERE IS THIS PARABLE LEADING US? We have seen in the first three parables of the kingdom that each parable associates itself with one of the churches of Asia Minor to whom John wrote, and also, that each parable associates with ...read more
