    Breaking Down Barriers Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Oct 24, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 12,185 views

    Peter’s response to these religious rule-keepers is a model for us as we face criticism or complaints. We’ll see that Peter’s answer is more pastoral than argumentative. I see seven correctives to help us handle criticism.

    This week I shared something positive on Facebook and got pulverized. The criticism came quickly and repeatedly. Normally I’m more careful about posting about controversial matters so I wasn’t prepared for all the venomous vitriol and overwhelming opposition. One person simply replied, “Oh ...read more

    From Although To Yet

    Based on the prophet Habakkuk's journey from honest complaint to unshakable praise, this sermon explores how faith can find joy not by denying suffering, but by making a radical choice to rejoice in God even when everything has fallen apart.

    From Barren Fields to High Places: The Unshakable Joy of Faith Text: Habakkuk 3:17-19 Introduction: A Prophet's Honest Struggle I want to invite you into the world of a man who was not afraid to argue with God. His name is Habakkuk. We often come to the prophets and see them as untouchable ...read more

    Don't Walk Away From An Answered Prayer

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 12, 2022
     | 2,465 views

    We tend to pray for the salvation of someone we know, or for a job, or for the return of the LORD, or some other issue, and He answers it in a way that either we don't expect or like. Let's not forget that God is in charge. His will overrides our ideals.

    I want to share with you an insight that the LORD impressed upon me pertaining to prayer and how the LORD graciously answers our petitions and requests presented before Him. You are probably familiar with the saying that He answers our prayers three ways: Either "Yes", "No", ...read more

    Researchers estimate that 75-90% of all visits to primary care physicians are for complaints that are, in some way, stress related. Every week 112 million people in the U.S. take some form of medication for stress related symptoms. Our society is worrie

    “Worried Sick” Matthew 6: 25-34 I read this week of another pastor who very early in his ministry preached at a church in Los Angeles.

    Be Grateful For This Year

     | 104 views

    The children of Israel complained in the wilderness, yet God had rescued them from Egypt. Their lack of gratitude kept them stuck where gratitude could have accelerated them.Do not enter the next year with the spirit of complaint. Enter with thanksgiving. Gratitude is the seed of expectation.

    BE GRATEFUL FOR THIS YEAR Gratitude is one of the most powerful spiritual disciplines in the life of a believer. It is not just a polite response to good things; it is a posture of the heart, a way of seeing, a way of thinking, and a way of walking with God. As this year moves toward its end, the ...read more

    Good Grief

     | 2,206 views

    Most people aren’t good at expressing grief. Yet two-thirds of the Psalms are laments – grieving complaints against God. The Hebrew writers knew that the path of praise often went through the valley of mourning. So what happens when we grieve and mourn properly?

    Good Grief May 30, 2021 John 11:32-35 NIV “When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died." 33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was ...read more

    Psalm 88 is the gloomiest chapter in all the bible. There is not one glimmer of hope yet we can draw from it wonderful teaching. The psalmist was in a very dark state . Even by the end of the Psalm the conflict was not resolved. In Psalm 88, the writer was overcome by feelings and emotions.

    We human beings can and do sometimes irritate God. When we fail to respect God properly, the result is not a pretty picture. Our attitude toward God affects our lives significantly.

     | 1,959 views

    It's a common complaint about pastors and churches: "All they ever do is talk about money." The reality is we rarely talk specifically about money. Both Old & New Testaments have a LOT to say about money and possessions. Let's hear Jesus' heart for us on the topic of money.

    When God frustrates us, He asks us to trust Him.

    The book of Habakkuk is described as an “oracle.” “Oracle” literally means “burden.” A burden is something that has been lifted up and is being carried. It is used by several OT prophets to describe the message which God had laid upon their hearts. Habakkuk’s message was a heavy burden. ...read more
