    A Dwelling Place For God

    Contributed by Steven Oltz on Jul 6, 2002
    based on 24 ratings
     | 7,691 views

    God desires a Dwelling place among us. In all that we do, even in His name, do we create a dwelling place for God in our hearts and lives?

    A Dwelling Place for God (Exodus 25:8) If you were invited to house-sit you could not make any substantial changes in the house while you were there because the house would not belong to you. Even if you found the color of the paint highly objectionable and didn’t like the floor plan or the way ...read more

    The Lord Bless You And Keep You

    Contributed by Warren Bird on Jan 18, 2004
    based on 110 ratings
     | 35,319 views

    Grace, peace, blessing, keeping. God desires wonderful things for His faithful people! Blessing is a term that gets misused a lot - this sermon explores what it really means.

    Have you ever noticed how the apostle Paul opens every one of his letters by wishing his readers “grace and peace”? It is also present in both of Peter’s letters, one of John’s and Revelation. When they said, “grace and peace” these Biblical writers were not merely using a polite form of words to ...read more

    I Want The Church To Grow - But Do I Want Any More People? , #7 Series

    based on 7 ratings
     | 3,191 views

    I want the church to grow because God desires that it grows but I may not want any of my family members who will take the spotlight away from me.

    I received this idea from my mentor Jerrie Barber. I Want the Church to Grow – But Do I Want Anymore People #7 Philippians 2:1-8 For the last six weeks we have been looking at Church growth and some of the things that we do to sabotage that growth. I still believe that everyone here tonight ...read more

    based on 45 ratings
     | 4,800 views

    Our Commission from the Lord is to “go and make disciples” of all nations (peoples). Jesus loves the Lingayats and has a desire for the Lingayats to know the truth of His saving power.

    The Lingayats are the twelfth largest people group of India and the largest people group of Karnataka. Lingayats number 9 million people in the Karnataka state alone. A Lingayat is one who wears the Linga, a small spherical object that the Lingayat believes represents God. Lingayats are also ...read more

    Who's Knocking At Your Door?

    Contributed by Naveen Balakrishnan on May 24, 2004
    based on 35 ratings
     | 4,943 views

    The Apostle John paints a beautiful picture of God’s desire for mankind pertaining to their salvation through the LORD Jesus Christ standing at the door of the sinner’s heart and knocking.

    “WHO’S KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR?” Revelation 3:20 1. Christ’s Sobering POSITION/PATIENCE. (v. 20a) Behold I stand at the door, and knock: Song of Solomon 5:2-6; Luke 12:36; Matthew 7:7-8; 25:1-13; James 5:9; Romans 2:4; 2 Peter 3:9; Luke 11:9-10; 13:25; Ezekiel 34:16 2.

    The Real Issue

    Contributed by Matt Schuler on Oct 21, 2004
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,145 views

    At times the church can be focused on too many "issues" and its desire to prove itself right. But what should we really be focused on? What is The Real Issue?

    John 5:37-39 And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form, nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent. You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These ...read more

     | 7,108 views

    When we look upon the goodness and wisdom that Christ offers we should desire to be like Him and not just give Him lip service like the Queen of Sheba.

    When Jesus shared His innermost desire with Peter, His highest priority was to have him take care of His bride. How can we do that today?

    OPEN: It had been a big wedding, and the reception was well attended. Then came the honeymoon, the couple went to their hotel room After they unpacked their bags the groom took his bride by the hand sat her on the bed and said, "Honey, I hope you won’t mind, but now that we’re married I tho’t I’d ...read more

    Elisha Seeks The Blessing

    Contributed by Colin Coombs on Jun 10, 2007
    based on 31 ratings
     | 12,924 views

    For Elisha to have the ’double-portion’ he desired there was a clear path to follow. There was a preparation to be made, a pryaer to be offered, a promise to be claimed, and the possession of the answer. What a challenge for us today!

    ELISHA SEEKS THE BLESSING THE PATH TO THE DOUBLE-PORTION II Kings 2:1-15 Elisha had travelled with Elijah for a relatively short time, and had seen how the Lord had miraculously worked through Elijah. This must have inspired him to want the same anointing himself, but before Elisha could ...read more

     | 10,205 views

    Like father, like son. Yes it is true; however, we know that God supplies grace to break generational curses. Jesus desires us to be God’s children.

    Who’s Your Daddy? Three of every 10 births in the U. S. were to unwed mothers, according to a new report to Congress commissioned by the Department of Health and Human Services. Out-of-wedlock childbearing is on the rise for adults as well as teenagers, and for women of all races. One social ...read more

    The Servant Leader

    Contributed by Ian Johnson on Dec 9, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,378 views

    In the Discipline of service there is also great liberty. Service allows us to say ’no!’ to the world’s games of promotion and authority. It abolishes our need and desire for a ’pecking order’

    In 2006 success is measured by the size of our great wealth, the popularity of our ministry, the size of our Church, In this we seem to miss the mark of being a true servant leader in the kingdom of God.. Our example in all things is the Lord Jesus himself The servant is not greater than his ...read more

    Faithful With Little For The Sake Of The Little

    Contributed by Nate Herbst on Mar 13, 2009
    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,766 views

    It is easy to be faithful with little hoping to "graduate" to the big but God’s desire is that we would be faithful with little for the sake of the little, trusting and growing closer to Him with correct motives.

    Faithful with little Lk.16:10 - Faithful with little. 
 Ministry relevance - 1 Cor. 4:2 (minister must be found faithful) and 1 Tim.1:12 (We’ve been found faithful so He has put us in ministry), Pr.11:3 (Erin will read).

    A picture of what Christ has done for you and the response He desires from you. We should never give Jesus anything less than our best.

    Abiding In Perfect Love

    Contributed by Glenn Bleakney on Jun 14, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,689 views

    It is the desire of the heavenly Father for His people always to experience the full inheritance of His covenant love and mercy. The Apostle John calls such a place of attainment in God “perfect love”.

    It is truly amazing to think of the mercy and forbearance that God bestows upon sinners. Undoubtedly, the Lord has the power to cut off our very existence. The Scripture affirms, “Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust” (Psalm ...read more
