Sermons on Cry Of The Thieves:

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Mar 2, 2008

The cry of the inner child remains the same. We desperately want someone to love us. Love me for me. Charles Spurgeon (English preacher of the 19th century) said, “God chose me before I was born; for he never would have chosen me afterwards!”

The childish art of love – pulling the petals from a flower and reciting, “(s)he loves me, (s)he loves me not” – left love to chance. Even rigged it because if you start a certain way you end up where you want to – “(s)he love me!” Prance off feeling hopeful that love has a chance! The cry of the ...read more

Peace

Contributed by Scott Spencer on Jul 31, 2014

Peace movements are nothing new. There have always been those who cry "peace!" Many do so today. There are demonstrations and protests for peace. And it seems to me that any person who has a respect for life should want peace. Yet we do not have peace. Why?

The Dream Of Pilate’s Wife

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 9, 2022

Pilate had to face the decision of what to do with Jesus. With sins dragging on him and forces of evil crying for Christ's blood, Pilate stood in the balance. Just then, his wife had a dream from God to warn him. We all are warned not to decide this wrongly.

Revelation Lesson #10 Series

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Mar 27, 2024

We have completed six of the seven trumpet’s calls. In between the sixth and last trumpet, one with great authority over both land and sea appeared. In his hand was a little book which caused the one with authority to cry. When he cried, ‘seven’ ‘thunders’ spoke.

A Futile Effort Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 13, 2019

God spoke to Jonah, calling him to go and cry against Nineveh. Foolishly, Jonah thought he could flee the presence of God. However, God intended for Nineveh to hear a warning, and He intended Jonah to deliver that warning. It is futile to try and flee God's presence!

A Futile Effort Jonah 1: 1-10 Having considered the introduction for Jonah, I want to remind us of the major theme of the book. Most tend to focus solely on Jonah’s miraculous deliverance from the belly of the great fish, but that is just one scene from this account in Scripture. In fact, that ...read more

He Brought Me Out Of The Miry Clay

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jun 13, 2025

The “miry clay” represents situations that are sticky, messy, and hard to escape. It symbolises spiritual bondage, emotional turmoil, and moral failure. But God does not abandon His people in such states. He inclines His ear to us, hears our cry, and lifts us out with His mighty hand.
