    Precious In His Sight

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 1,130 views

    Are you precious in God’s sight? That, however, depends on your relationship with your Creator. If you are truly precious in His sight, then be assured that He has redeemed you by His blood

    Opening illustration: I’ll never forget my first experience using an automatic car wash. Approaching it with the dread of going to the dentist, I pushed the money into the slot, nervously checked and rechecked my windows, eased the car up to the line, and waited. Powers beyond my control began ...read more

     | 1,131 views

    “Whoever humbles themselves like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven”. It is giving up claims to power and status and knowing one’s total dependence on God that counts as greatness in the kingdom of heaven.

    Sermon: The Path to Kingdom Greatness Scripture: Matthew 18:1-11 “About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins ...read more

    The Credible Christian Man Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Dec 3, 2002
    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,385 views

    To be credible as Christians, men need to acknowledge their dependence on God in everything, to make God their first priority, to make their spiritual security more important than their financial security, humbly admit their mistakes and express their sex

    You may wonder whether a sermon in a Sunday service is the place to be talking about being a credible Christian man, given that at least half the congregation are women, but let me suggest that at least some of what we’ll talk about today is equally relevant to women, and even those bits that ...read more

     | 4,578 views

    Everyone is going to be judged by the Lord. Commonly, people say we are going to wait in a line to see the Lord. In that line you will be full of emotions, but these emotions will be positive or negative. The emotion that you feel will depend on you.

     | 23,327 views

    Gideon was an unlikely candidate to lead Israel against the Midianites, but God often uses the weak and inadequate. Our service to Him is not dependent upon our wisdom or ability, but it must rely on the Lord through faith.

    Overcoming our Reluctance Judges 6: 11-16 Living the Christian life isn’t always easy. In fact, we are often forced to deal with difficulties and struggles. At times we surrender to defeat and feel as if we lack the ability to overcome. I am sure we have all dealt with moments of insecurity, ...read more

    Sisera And His Chariots

    Contributed by Tim Secrist on Feb 22, 2013
     | 9,521 views

    There are those, even among God's people, who depend on their own strength for success. Sisera and is charioteers discover that even great military might is no match for almighty God. And it's no match for the rest of us, either.

    Sisera and His Chariots Judges 4:1-4; 12-17 Sisera had it made, he must admit. He was general over the army of Jabin, king of Canaan. He had risen through the ranks and now he was General of the Army. And not just any army; he had 900 iron chariots at his disposal, far more than anyone else in ...read more

    God is going to reach a lost world through the empowering of the Holy Spirit and His church. We depend on One and devote to building His church through the teaching of His Word, fellowship, communion and prayer.

    Reaching the lost world for Christ would necessarily mean the birth of the Church, the body of Christ, the gathering of believers in Christ. • This is a divine institution, not a man-made organisation. Through the Body of Christ the world will come to see Christ. • The Church is the ...read more

    Are we submitting to God or still trying to live as His consultants? For the Christian, receiving the full portion of His grace depends on our answer to that and our willingness to submit to Him in every part of our life.

     | 5,086 views

    We have real challenges in life that we think we can control. The truth is that we are dependent on God. When our hearts come together with his we find the sanctuary we need.

    The churches of this day confront broken humanity. Whether we attempt to touch those who are broken through our wealth or with the power of Christ depends upon how we see ourselves as servants of the Lord.

    “Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple.
