    Show Me Your Glory

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 4, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,756 views

    When God chooses to open up the flood gates and rain down His showers of blessing, we usually don’t realize it until after we are completely drenched. This message brings encouragement to those who are facing trials and difficulties.

    This morning’s message is entitled, “Show Me Your Glory,” and I want us to look at God’s blessings today. I want to open by having us consider how the Lord’s blessings are similar to a jet aircraft flying at supersonic or near-sonic speeds. Did you ever hear a jet fly overhead and you looked ...read more

     | 6,210 views

    The Bible is full of heroes! They don't wear spandex or fly around in capes and cowls, but God empowered these heroes to accomplish some pretty amazing feats that can inspire us to become heroes of God too. The greatest hero of all is Jesus Christ! (Alliterated Outline, PowerPoint Available)

    NOTE: This sermon was adapted from my book, Holy Heroes of the Bible. If it's a blessing to you, please consider buying the book which includes chapters/sermons on 17 additional Bible heroes: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09SBNJTSZ Heroes of the Bible: Jesus Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove ...read more

    Felix Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 11, 2022
     | 2,808 views

    Felix represents many people intrigued by the gospel but recognizes that surrendering to it means losing status, power, or control of their own lives. Mere exposure to truth does not necessarily enlighten the heart, and Felix is an excellent example of that.

    Felix Felix was Festus' predecessor. He imprisoned Paul but allowed him to speak in his defense. He hoped Paul would offer him a bribe, but he never did. Festus thought Paul was delusional, but he did not think that was cause for putting him to death or locking him up, so he let him ...read more

    Many of us have watched movies of wild animals on television. I enjoy watching them until they become vicious and start attacking and devouring each other.

    I guess when they get like this, it reminds me of many church members that I know. There are many mean people in the world, and at times we find some of them within the church. That is, they are unkind and vicious in the way they treat others! Illus: They remind me of the story of President ...read more

    Trust And Obey (2 Of 2)

     | 1,955 views

    This morning we looked at something we talk, teach, preach and sing about, that is, “TRUST AND OBEY!”

    We dealt with the TRUST this morning, but this evening we would like to deal with the OBEY part of that song. Something that Peter and the early disciples understood that today’s church does not understand, is that WE CHRISTIANS ARE TO OBEY GOD. They understood that you obeyed God: • When it was ...read more

    Considering Our Ways

    There are churches being built all around the world. All Bible believers are excited about seeing Bible believing and Bible preaching churches being built that glorify this wonderful Savior we serve.

    But all churches being built are not for the glory of God! Illus: There was a church in Columbia, South Carolina, that was growing faster than any church in the area at one time. In fact, they advertised throughout the city that they were the “Fasting Growing Church” in the city. They were growing ...read more

    The Armor Of God 8 Of 8

     | 1,183 views

    Many times when it comes to preaching on the armor of God, some preachers will stop with verse 17, but that is a mistake.

    WHY IS THAT A MISTAKE? Because when you talk about putting on the whole armor of God, you need to include the weapon of PRAYER in verse 18. In our study of the armor of God we have seen that we must ... • TAKE THE GIRDLE OF TRUTH • TAKE THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS • PUT ON THE SHOES OF THE ...read more

    A Hope That Brings Life

     | 5,821 views

    This message is for those who struggle with the moral decay of our nation. It is intended to remind us that we are not to conform to the world; but rather, we are to stand firm in the laws and statutes of the New Jerusalem.

    St. Augustine wrote a book entitled the City of God, in which he discussed our identity with the holy city.(1) Throughout the Old and New Testaments, both Jews and Christians identified themselves with Jerusalem. Wherever they journeyed or resided, they did not consider themselves citizens of ...read more

    Faith Like A Child

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,460 views

    We need to consider how our waning faith can become a hindrance to others. Jesus provides a warning about hindering other believers who have the faith of a child. It is also a warning about hindering children from coming to Christ.

    Back when I was in college, one of my favorite songs was “Faith Like a Child” by Jars of Clay. Listen as I share some of the lyrics to this song: “Dear God, surround me as I speak; the bridges that I walk across are weak. Frustrations fill the void that I can’t solely bear . . . Sometimes, when I ...read more

     | 1,739 views

    Sometimes we take life much too seriously. Life is to be taken seriously, but some folks are so serious they can not enjoy life.

    If we are going to enjoy life, we have to have a sense of humor. God has a sense of humor. I know some folks have the idea that God sits up in heaven and never cracks a smile. But I do not believe that, I sincerely believe God looks down upon what He has created and has the same kind of joy ...read more

    Years ago the Hallmark Card Company used to advertise extensively on television.

    They would show samples of the beautiful cards they produce and close each commercial with these words for potential buyers to consider, "When you CARE enough to send the VERY BEST!" The message was clear, even to children, that if you really CARED for someone you would be willing to ...read more

    Someone said, "Most men blame all accidents on fate - but feels personal responsibility when he makes a hole-in-one on the golf course."

    It is absolutely amazing how and when we use that word, "responsibility." Illus: That word used to be used when a child was attending school.

    No matter what your circumstances in life is, their is an encounter with God that you can have, that will change everything. Ezekiel was such a man, living in captivity, disillusioned with his people, then he saw The Throne of God, everything changed. This sermon is a seed sermon so a need to dig!

    God is Still On His Throne 2 Kings 24:8-16 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. He did evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done. ...read more
