    Troubler Of Israel

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 22, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,118 views

    First-person monologue, as Elijah: the voice of God is not in the winds of popularity, nor the earthquake of instability, nor the fires of self-destruction. It is in the One in whom God has spoken and who will never leave us.

    I’m so lonely. So desperately lonely. It’s been so long since l’ve seen a friendly face. So lonely. So completely alone. I feel … deserted. No one even cares whether I am alive or dead. After all I’ve done for them, would you not think that somewhere in Israel there would be a good word for ...read more

    Faith Leads To Maturity Series

    based on 31 ratings
     | 23,553 views

    Relying on external law is the bondage of slavery. Jesus redeemed us from the law & made us heirs of God. The Christian does not need to wait to enjoy the riches of Christ. If he is a son then he is an heir.

    GALATIANS 4:1-7 FAITH LEADS TO MATURITY [Romans 8:15-17] One of the tragedies of legalism is that it gives the appearance of maturity when, in reality, it leads the believer away from a spiritual dependance upon God. The Galatian Christians, like most believers, wanted to grow and go ...read more

    How do you picture Jesus??

    Re-Imagining Jesus Mark 6:1-6 Jan 4, 2008 Intro: Over the holidays I watched a movie on TV called “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby”. It’s a cheesy comedy starring Will Farrell, and although it had a few good moments I don’t recommend it. There was one scene which I want to ...read more

    Do you really want to be like the Jesus who spent His life touching the lepers, going to the parties held by the sinners, letting His feet be anointed by the prostitute who washed them with her tears and dried them with her hair and kissed them with her l

    Scandalous January 11, 2008 Mark 2:13-17 Intro: A friend of mine began his ministry quite well. He had some good early successes. He was a really strong teacher – he had a way of bringing the Bible to life, explaining it in fresh ways, which people could relate to. Maybe you’ve experienced ...read more

    An Appeal Of Love Series

    based on 35 ratings
     | 17,792 views

    There are many church, synagogue & mosque members today devoted to rituals & rule-keeping. They are living in religious bondage. They need to hear that spiritual freedom is possible only through the grace of God in Jesus Christ.

    GALATIANS 4:8-20 AN APPEAL OF LOVE The conclusion reached in verse 7 is that those who have received the Spirit are now sons and heirs of God. Paul now tells the Galatians they are not acting like heirs of God! So he asks them if they prefer slavery or freedom, legalism or the Spirit? Did ...read more

    An application of the 5th commandment, describing what it means to honor one’s parents at different stages in one’s life, first learning to obey, then respect, then care for them, which results in a long-lasting society.

    The Promise of Respect Exodus 20:12 Comedian Rodney Dangerfield, who died October 5, 2004, at age 82, made a living making fun of himself and the difficulty of getting what we all desire: a little respect, please. Some of his best lines were: “I tell ya I get no respect from anyone. I bought a ...read more

    You have all felt the feeling or have heard of someone who has. The dreaded morning after the night before. You hadn’t intended on staying at the party that long, you knew that you had to get up the next morning and yet there it was.

    Time Out

    Just as the ball players take time out from the game, we must take time out to spend with God.We take time out for rest and refreshment. We take time out for reflection before we return to the game. We finally take time out to receive our reward.

    All of us have seen it many times on our television screens or in person. Ten men rush frantically up and down the basketball court. Suddenly the piercing shriek of a whistle is heard above the roar of the crowd and someone shouts “Time Out”. Or picture a baseball diamond. It is a crucial ...read more

    Some folks think we have to work for our salvation. Maybe we’re saved by grace, but we stay saved by our works. Big mistake.

    Sermon for CATM – October 5, 2008 – “Working Out Your Salvation” Last week Pastor Bill Ryan did a splendid job of helping us understand the first 11 verses of chapter two of Philippians.

    Peace Boulevard Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,325 views

    The Biblical word "peace" [Greek ~ Irene] signifies far more than merely the absence of war. It carries the idea of completeness and wholeness. It conveys a sense of inner-satisfaction and fulfillment. It communicates the idea of contentment and serenity.

    Opening illustration: A four-year-old and a six-year-old presented their mom with a houseplant. They had used their own money to buy it and she was thrilled. The older of them said with a sad face, "There was a bouquet at the flower shop that we wanted to give you. It was real pretty but it was too ...read more

    Learning to know God so intimately that we can trust Him completely and rest in Him fully.

    Not many of you have had a chance to visit our apartment since we moved in, but if you have, you’ve probably been in our spare bedroom. Right now, it’s a haven for our foster cats.
