    The Israelites show up for Battle but are delayed because they allow Goliath to define the terms of battle. God's people need to get into the valley because it isn't fought on the hillside.

    Showing Up For Battle I Samuel 17 Preached on Sunday, July 29, 2012 This is one of the most difficult sermons I have ever had to preach. I thought it would be Wednesday evening’s Bible Study, but the Lord would not let me escape preaching it on Sunday morning. The story found in ...read more

    Certainly your function in a system (your job) is a part of who you are, but is it the essential or most important part? Paul defines us based on our relationship with Jesus.

He is the head over every power and authority. 11 In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the ...read more

    I relied heavily on SermonCentral contributor Larry Sarver's sermon "Defining Discipleship" for this lesson. I addressed the topic of Growing Deeper through Discipleship in two sermons.

    A. The story is told of a pig and a chicken who were walking down the road one day. 1. As they passed a church, they notice that a potluck charity breakfast was under way. 2. Caught up in the spirit, the pig suggested to the chicken that they each make a contribution. 3. “Great Idea!” ...read more

     | 12,698 views

    Many Christians believe that if they are walking in obedience to God then they will be blessed. They define being blessed as a life without troubles. This message is about being blessed despite the troubles we experience.

     | 3,071 views

    What is a peacemaker? Of course there are a variety of answers but in this sermon we will attempt to define what the most likely meaning of the word is in Matthew 5:9. May the Lord help us!

    Blessed Are The Peacemakers Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:6-8 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall ...read more

    People spiritually and verbally view and define pride in a negative way, but when we look at the word translates from the Greek and Hebrew language we get different meanings

    ** the word pride in the Hebrew is 'gevah' which means exaltation or lifting up. ___my exaltation is in Jesus Christ ___the word exaltation means promotion.....my promotion is in Jesus Christ. ___the presence of Christ will promote you from one glory to another ___from one success to ...read more

     | 2,932 views

    There is an unknown to be known, an X-factor in all believers of our Lord Jesus! Defined the X-factor is a variable in a given situation that could have the most significant impact on the outcome.

    There is no words in the Bible that describes our God with an "X". It goes from 'wrong' to 'yarn' in the Concordance. Daniel lived when King Xerxes i and II of Persia. Today's dictionary has the words 'X-Ray machine and Xield which means a buffer for protection of ...read more

    See what it means to wait upon God. We define in Scripture, see how David waited upon God, and how correct waiting creates positive expectations.

    WAIT ONLY UPON GOD Psalm 62:1-6 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE ARREST 1. Even if you’re a person in authority, it always pays to listen to what people have to say. 2.

    Message is a call to men to step up and fulfill their God-given role to lead spiritually. It is also a call to roles of spiritual mentorship beyond the scope of fatherhood as traditionally defined.
