    The Holy Spirit - Part 3 Of 9 Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Jul 3, 2017
     | 25,647 views

    Jesus said "If I do not go away, the Helper will not come." Why not? This part examines that question as well as our dependence on the Holy Spirit, and his function as our guarantee, grieving the Holy Spirit, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

    THE HOLY SPIRIT This nine-part series was originally developed for a class environment, and later adapted for use in a prison ministry conducted via correspondence. Because of that background, questions were developed for each lesson for participants to use in a setting conducive to discussion, or ...read more

    . This message provides a few exhortations on how to have healthy personal relationships. How do I have close relationships that don’t become controlling or co-dependent? How do I handle times when relationships are rocky?

    Matthew 22:39 7/3/16 Intro The two great commandments are: “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” And “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”1 According to what Jesus said in Matt. 22:37-39, it is all about relationships: our ...read more

    You can find rest if you rest in God. You can find peace if you depend on the Lord. You can get rid of all your worries if you commit your life to the Lord and pray every day.

    This last week, I came across a five minute clip from an episode of The Bob Newhart Show on YouTube. That was back in the days when sit-coms were funny AND clean, unlike so many of them today. Bob, as you may know, was a psychologist on the show, and in this scene a woman comes into his office ...read more

    The Danger Of Following God With Human Wisdom

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 5, 2025
     | 149 views

    God is not seeking experts; He is seeking the obedient. Following Him requires that we crucify our natural wisdom and embrace divine instruction. There is danger in depending on human intelligence to navigate spiritual assignments. Such a path leads to error, frustration, and loss.

    THE DANGER OF FOLLOWING GOD WITH HUMAN WISDOM By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God…” (1 Corinthians 1:18) Supporting Texts: Proverbs 3:5-7, Romans 8:6-8, ...read more

    The Soil Of The Heart Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 591 views

    This sermon from Matthew 13 reminds us that while the Word of God and the Sower never change, the fruitfulness of our lives depends entirely on the condition of our hearts—whether they are hardened, shallow, crowded, or humble and receptive to the transforming truth of Christ.

    The Soil of the Heart Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23 To hear and truly understand the words of our Creator is no simple task. This is the One who knit us together in our mother’s womb. Who recorded every moment of our lives before one of them came to be. Who holds together the seen and unseen, past, ...read more

    The Good Fight

    based on 1 rating
     | 427 views

    Life on earth is temporary. What we do with the time we have here will depend on where we spend eternity. Paul is pouring out his innermost feelings and advice on how to finish the race well. It is a fight, but a good one.

    Death bed narratives are when people share their innermost feelings at the most vulnerable time of their lives. It is their last words and can be secrets they have held on to for their entire lives or it can be valuable advice or instruction to those whom they love so very much. I am suggesting ...read more

    The Place Of The Jews In God's Plan Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jul 16, 2002
    based on 51 ratings
     | 8,454 views

    God’s promises have not been forgotten. God has the right to choose because he is the sovereign Lord and Creator. God’s motive is love and mercy, and the demonstration of his glory. We all depend on his mercy for our salvation

    You’d be forgiven for thinking, when you read the first few chapters of Romans, that Paul has it in for the Jews. He goes to such great pains to point out that all their religious systems, all their efforts to be right with God are doomed. He accuses them of condemning others for failing to obey ...read more

    "Self" is who we rely on in most storms, but "self" has no ability to help. It is "God" who must be depended on for He alone has the ability to help us in our valleys of despair. (Audio will be placed at www.sermonlist.com/2007.html)

    A man was in the hospital for tests, and the doctor came in to see him. The doctor said he had some bad news and some really bad news for the man, and wanted to know which one he wanted to hear first. The patience said to tell him the bad news first.

    Perche Baptist Church: Where Heroes Are Made

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on May 24, 2007
     | 2,597 views

    According to Hebrews 11 and 12 we all can be heroes. Hebrews 11 is the hall of heroes and is used to encourage us that we too can be heroes If we face the race of faith with endurance, depend on God for empowerment, finish the race with excellence.

    Intro: Hebrews 11 is the hall of Heroes. As we walk down the corridor of Hebrews 11 we see Abraham, and Sarah, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, Gideon and other judges, David, Samuel. It is a virtual Bible’s Who’s Who. As we stroll through the hall of heroes we find that they all endured. God gave ...read more

    Spirit-Control Series

    based on 44 ratings
     | 5,145 views

    Jesus calls the Holy Spirit (depending on your translation) a “Helper”, “Comforter”, or “Counselor” (vs 16). This title literally means one who comes alongside to assist us, working in and through us, encouraging us along life’s way.

    “I Believe” -Sermon Series on the Apostles Creed “Spirit-Control” John 14:16-27 Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts One phrase we hear a lot in church is a way of either introducing worship or ending a prayer: “In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, ...read more

     | 2,550 views

    All is in a terrible state! The man is the creature. God is the creator. The life of the man, in his existence, should be dependent on God, his creator. The clock could it live without its clock and watch maker. God meets the need for the man as a Jesus-C

    based on 29 ratings
     | 6,296 views

    So what is Jesus telling us about his kingdom? If you want to be great, become small. God isn’t looking for us to be independent, but dependent. The strongest in the kingdom of heaven is the one who realises that they have no strength themselves, but t

    Intro: My dad’s bigger than your dad! My dad’s stronger than your dad! My dad’s smarter than your dad! My dad’s faster than your dad! Does this sound familiar?

    Success & Failure

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 30, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,213 views

    As a believer our success is in the Lord based upon the choices we make. It also depends on the different events that go on in our lives and how we react to them. Apparently failures are the repercussions of the poor choices we make not lining up with God

When they sleep, their snoring is disruptive. When they turn over, houses may be crushed under their weight. In the Bible, Uzziah became a ...read more

    Lessons From Failure Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Dec 26, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,474 views

    When we fail in ministry, our failure need not be fatal. Rather, if our failure teaches us to depend on Christ and care for people, we can move on from failure to impact our world like Jesus’ original disciples did.

    A CEO has taken on a new job, and the outgoing CEO says to him, “Sometimes you’ll make wrong choices. You will. You’ll mess up. When that happens, I have prepared three envelopes for you.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,007 views

    We win our battles against our compulsion to sin when we depend on the Holy Spirit. We must live by the Spirit to conquer fleshly desires, be led by the Spirit to conquer fleshly deeds, and walk with the Spirit to enjoy the death of the flesh.

    Freedom’s Fruit (Galatians 5:16-26) Jo Guerrero’s five-year-old daughter, Barbara, had disobeyed her mother and had been sent to her room. After a few minutes, Jo (the mom) went in to talk with her about what she had done. Teary-eyed, the little girl asked, “Why do we do wrong things, Mommy?” ...read more
