Sermons on Desert Place:

God At The Market Place

Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Nov 1, 2014

A perspective on Mark 7: 1-23. When a trivial matter becomes a big issue more than likely we are following the ‘traditions of men’. Our focus therefore is on the wrong thing because we have forgotten God and do not have God’s love in our hearts.

Mark 7: 1-23 God At The Market Place The closing of chapter 6 is also the introduction to chapter 7 and our Gospel text. In which Jesus and his disciples have crossed Lake Galilee to the land at Gennesaret on the north-western bank of the lake. Gennesaret was a small, but a very fertile plain rich ...read more

Trouble At A Place Of Revelation

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 19, 2014

The enemy of our souls tries to snatch away the words of our confessions of faith while they are still in our mouths, robbing us of our newly received blessing.

TROUBLE AT A PLACE OF REVELATION. Matthew 16:21-28. The place was Caesarea Philippi (Matthew 16:13): a place of revelation, and a place of decision. Which of two realms will we choose? Which of two religions? Who is it that we are following? Jesus asked the disciples, ‘Whom say ye that I am?’ ...read more

Even The High Places! Series

Contributed by John Crisp on Aug 9, 2014

Each point can be and probably will be a sermon in a series, at least for me: Israel was laid to waist, and Edom was saying to everyone that would listen we have the land that God had promised someone else NOW it is OUR possession how did this happen?

Ezekiel 36.1.3 – even the high places… 1 Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD: 2 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ...read more

A Place Called Heaven

Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Feb 10, 2013

Saints In Wrong Places

Contributed by John Hickman on Sep 1, 2013

Like the biblical saints, Noah, Abram, Jonah, David and Peter, who wound up in the wrong places and sinned, we also wind up in the wrong places and we look to Elijah for the answer.

Destroying The High Places

Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Jun 10, 2013

A sinful high place is any area, thought, person, or relationship that I allow to remain in my life as a provision for the flesh, to satisfy the sinful desires of my heart.

Prayer In A Desperate Place Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Mar 5, 2014

What stops you from praying? Are you too proud to pray? Are you trying to find your own solution? Don't wait to pray - God is listening now.

I always start my sermons with a question: My question for you this evening is When do you pray? In the Bible in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 we are told to pray without ceasing or as the NLT translates it Never stop praying I wonder how many of us do that? If we take that verse in context we are to ...read more

Sowing In Hard Places

Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Aug 6, 2012

SOWING BY ITS VERY NATURE IS ABOUT GETTING WHAT YOU WANT TO HAVE, NOT WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE. You sow into dirt because you want strawberries. Three principles that show how hard sowing can be: The principle of death; delay; and the principle of deceit.

Sowing in Hard Places How many of you have heard a preacher somewhere tell you that you want to sow your seed into good soil so that you can receive a good harvest? Makes sense that we should sow our seed into the best soil possible doesn’t it? No farmer in his right mind sows seed into bad soil. ...read more

Heaven Is A Real Place

Contributed by John Lowe on May 31, 2012

I want you to look at that blessed hope, which awaits those who dare to believe. Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.” Jesus wants us to trust Him and the Father. This is the key to heaven.

Heaven is a Real Place Last week, the scripture lesson was about hell. We saw that hell is a real place, created by God for a specific purpose; we saw what hell was like, and we saw how we can escape going there. I know that none of us want to go there; we want to go to heaven, so let’s ...read more
