    As Jonah found himself in the belly of a great fish, within the depths of the sea, he began to realize the sovereignty of God and his great need for Him. In his desperation, he cried out unto the lord.

    Prayers from the Deep (Part 1) Jonah 1:17 – 2:10 We have come to the most familiar portion of the book of Jonah. Most people, even with limited exposure to the Bible, have heard the story of Jonah and the whale. While I will admit that was a miraculous event, it is not the focus of the book. We ...read more

    Embracing The Finished Work Of Jesus Christ Series

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 20, 2022
     | 3,118 views

    This was not the despairing cry of a helpless martyr; it is the declaration on the part of the divine Redeemer that all for which he came from heaven to earth to do, was finished. The great purpose of God in the history of man was now accomplished. "It is finished."

    Sermon Embracing the Finished Word of Jesus Christ Scripture: John 19:28-30 “Jesus knew that his mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to his lips. ...read more

    Challenges and suffering are in God’s plan. They enable us to experience His care and pass His comfort on to others.

    Today we begin our study of the book of 2nd Corinthians. During the last few months, as we have studied through the book of 1st Corinthians, the extent of the problems at the church in Corinth became apparent to us. The church was characterized by disunity, dissention, arguing, and immorality. ...read more

    Wait Upon The Lord

    Life is full of highs and lows, from the mountain top to the valley; and God’s people were in a low spot. If Judah would learn to "wait on the Lord," then God would enable them to fly, run and walk across the finish line to victory!

    Wait Upon the Lord Isaiah 40:27-31 I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Wait Upon the Lord,” but I could have easily justified calling it “Fly, Run and Walk,” and you’ll see why as we continue along. But since much of the message is focused on flying, I want to open with an illustration that ...read more

    Genesis 37:13-28 “When you’re Put into a Pit” 3/9/25 a.m. 28 years ago we had bought the property that we live on today, we had moved a Mobile Home in, and my mother-in-law was out walking in the woods behind the Mobile and ... she found a PIT.

    Overcoming The Devil's Temptations

    We often fall into despair when we think of Jesus as only a model to learn from. When temptation comes, it is Jesus who is victorious and to overcome temptation we must defer to Him.

    Hi, thank you for looking at this sermon. I hope it helps. Please do not say the sermon did not help you just because you did not like the style or could not use the entire message for your own needs. I have discovered a few souls automatically hit the ’did not help me’ button if the message they ...read more

    Sometimes we find ourselves in life-storms and after exhausting every method of deliverance, including prayer, we despair and give up. Very often Christ comes at just these precise moments.

    THE FOURTH WATCH OF THE NIGHT INTRODUCTION. We’re going to take a little trip with Jesus across the sea of Galilee. Actually, calling it a “Sea” is a bit of a overstatement. It’s a lake. A big lake, but a lake all the same, 15 mi. long and 8 miles wide. TEXT. Matthew 14.22 Immediately Jesus ...read more

    Sometimes, as a result of heavy and burdensome trials, a feeling of helplessness, hopelessness, and despair may set in upon the child of God. This is not uncommon and should not be viewed as such. This sermon shows how to have hope in Christ.

    Hope Thou In God Scripture Reading: Psalm 42 [Living Bible] As the deer pants for water, so I long for you, O God. [2] I thirst for God, the living God. Where can I find him to come and stand before him? [3] Day and night I weep for his help, and all the while my enemies taunt me. "Where is ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 61,977 views

    A positive attitude enables a man to break new and higher grounds and position himself where he wants to be. A negative attitude makes one to rot in a place with the spirit of complaining and despair rule.

    TAKING THE LIMITS OFF OF GOD NUMBER 23:19 Many are not able to achieve success and greatness in all of life endeavors because of the several barriers before them. People talk about breakthroughs showing that there are forces and things limiting them, so they want the mighty power of God to break ...read more

    There are many times in life when we are discouraged, depressed, downtrodden and may even be at the point of despair. And your are asking “Is there anyone who can console, calm and comfort me?” Sure there is!

    An Introduction to the Study On I & II Corinthians The letters of I & II Corinthians provide great insight for the modern day church. Down through my years of ministry I have preached from these two books on several occasions. At times I have done a series of sermons. Other times I ...read more

    Forgive Us Our Debts: "A River Runs Through It" And The Lord's Prayer Series

    Contributed by Bobby Gilles on Nov 3, 2015
     | 4,325 views

    Debt traps us in a life of despair. And it goes much deeper than financial debt. Jesus provides the only escape from a deeper, darker debt that is propelling us forward to a day of reckoning.

    Good morning. My name is Bobby Gilles; I’m on staff here. For the past few weeks we’ve been preaching through the Lord’s Prayer, a prayer Jesus taught us to pray. Today we arrive at the final two verses: “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. and lead ...read more

    In recent days, our Government has been locking down Churches in order to contain the spread of the CoVid -19m Virus. Instead of despair, I see a revolution in our missioning

    Sermon: If you want to walk on water, you better get out of the boat! Mt 14: 22-33: 1. Introduction: I would like to focus on two particular verses from our Gospel reading today.

    We live in a world that is filled with crime; slider crimes, drive-by’s, and various ‘get rich quick schemes.’ No wonder there’s so much confusion, despair, and hopelessness in the world.

    The Bible tells us in Hebrews 11:1-3: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things ...read more
