    A sermon examining those times when it seems that the Lord has forgotten us.

    SURVIVING THE SILENCE Psalm 13:1-6 There are numerous synonyms that we use to describe times of difficulty; we speak of walking through a valley, wandering through the wilderness, or enduring a storm. Each of these metaphors is used to describe the severe troubles that we experience in this ...read more

    All too often our definition for Good News has to do with interesting new Bible stories, or feel good inspirationals. But we may find ourselves one day in the Valley of Despair – Valley of Dry Bones, as a result of sin (birthed within us).

    THE BIRTH OF SIN Revised – 08.20.06 (Edit in text from “Elijah”, Chas. Swindoll, pages 127 – 131) Perhaps you came this morning expecting to hear some “Good News”… How do you define the term “Good News”?

    A New Creation . . . A New Beginning

     | 10,560 views

    We’ve all needed a second chance at one time or another. Truth is that many of us have also "blown our second chance" and maybe have despaired that it was our last chance. Well, God goes beyond the second chance to the new beginning!

    A NEW BEGINNING . . . A NEW CREATION! Text: Romans 5:20 Moreover, the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. Some time ago I was in a Christian book store and they were playing a song that kept repeating, "He’s the God of second ...read more

    The joy of the Lord has the power to turn sorrow into laughter and despair into hope. When we look at the story of Sarah, we see a God who turned her years of barrenness into joy, so profound that she proclaimed, “God has made me laugh.”

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Genesis 21:6 Supporting Texts: Psalm 126:1-3, Job 8:21, Luke 1:13-14 INTRODUCTION: The joy of the Lord has the power to turn sorrow into laughter and despair into hope.

    Passages in different locations are often interconnected in such a way that one avenue of thought springs from another. Although these psalms were not written with the intent that they be interconnected by us today, they collectively express a message relevant today.

    For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more

    God’s gift alone is stronger than the hate and despair that mockingly stands in opposition against “peace on earth good will to men.” Whatever the difficulty we may face in these days approaching Christmas 2005 God’s gift, the gift of His one and only So

    Just as Psalm 9, begins with praise, Psalm 10, begins in despair. Psalm 9, the psalmist was confident of the sure coming of Divine justice; Psalm 10 injustice is rampart and God seems disinterested; however, the psalmist’s walking more by sight than by fa

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 31, 2022
     | 1,331 views

    When does despair become relief? When does the dangerous trough of despondency become the glorious hill of deliverance? The answer is in verse 19 of John 6. Jesus drew near to the boat and when Jesus walked on the water and came closer to the boat, all the perspective changed.

    A VERY SPECIAL “I AM” OF JOHN’S GOSPEL – “EGO EIMI” – “I, I AM” – SO MUCH COMFORT IN IT – PART 2 We looked in PART 1 at the marvellous I AM of John’s Gospel. It means “I, I am.” It stamped the authority of Jesus as the Elohim of the Old Testament, and that came with all authority. One of the ...read more

     | 17,326 views

    God works deep in our lives to transform our deepest sorrow into an abiding joy. David knew this, despite that fact that he was one messed-up fella, and despite that parts of his life stunk. What's the journey from wailing to dancing, from despair to joy?

    Can You Forgive Yourself?

     | 19,077 views

    So often we wallow in guilt and shame, long after we have asked Jesus to forgive us. What if we could be free of that for good? Is self-forgiveness biblical? If not, how can I move forward out of my despair? Peter is a case in point.

    John 21:1-19 Can You Forgive Yourself? Self-forgiveness is the big rage in pop psychology today. I did a quick search on Amazon.com this week, and came up with over 12,000 hits on the subject of self-forgiveness. Yet, the interesting thing is, the Bible has absolutely no mention of it at all! ...read more

     | 6,809 views

    So many people, including some believers are trapped in some sort of bondage. Many are in despair, because they have tried so hard, to give up and break free but are unable to do so. But there is hope for all. Most often it is only knowing the Truth that will set people free!

    Freedom from bondage Chapter 1 – Why should I be free from bondage Act 11:21: “And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.” (KJV) Most of us would like to have promises from the Lord for our personal benefit – we desire that the Lord should ...read more
