    This sermon looks at how Elijah suffered from depression. It looks at the circumstances that made him more likely to suffer from depression and how God lifted him from that dark depression.

    Tell me if you can identify with this song. “Gloom, Despair, and agony on me. Deep dark depression and endless misery. If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all, Gloom, despair, and agony on me.” I know that there are times in my past where that could’ve been the theme song of my ...read more

    Third in a series on popular illusions. We try to limit God by turning to religion instead of relationship. The issue is in our own integrity. The world understands the power of God better than we do! The loss of our idols is fatal, but in Christ ther

    A look at spiritual warfare, based not on the popular ideas on the subject, but on the biblical text.

    I am sure that nearly all of us are aware that our country, though not in a declared war, is still fighting two campaigns half a world away.

    Just like stubborn and rebellious Israel of old, we do not deserve God’s grace and mercy. But in spite of ourselves, God is always ready to extend His mercy to us; especially in the midst of life’s increasing madness.

    Mercy In The Midst Of Madness Text: Ps.61: 3-4; Ps.103: 2, 4-5; Isa.41: 13 Intro: Last night, as I bowed my head in prayer to God, I began to share with the Lord the burdens that were weighing heavily upon my heart.

     | 15,355 views

    Just as Israel had a skewed picture of God, sometimes we do too. Instead of seeing God in His fullness, we only pick out certain attributes to focus on like His love and mercy. Do we see God as He is, or made Him into somthing He isn’t?

    1. How do you see the Lord? The Lord reveals Himself as: a. A seeking God (1b-3a) b. A sovereign God (3b-8) c. A sifting God (9-10) d. A saving God (11-15) 2. How does the Lord see you? a. If you don’t see Him as He’s revealed Himself, He will show Himself to you as Judge (8-10) b. If you see ...read more

    Because of our tendency to pass quick and critical judgment on others, our Lord has chosen to address this issue. Chapter 7 verses 1-12 addresses an issue plaguing the religion of Jesus’ day and of ours, that of misdirected effort.

    What You See May Not Be The Truth Matthew 7:1-12 A while back, I read the very distressing account of an incident in the life of a young bachelor. He worked in an office where every year the boss gave each employee a turkey as a bonus for the holiday season. Of course, the bachelor could never ...read more
