    based on 4 ratings
     | 19,742 views

    Yes, obedience can be a big, difficult and sometimes bitter-tasting bill to for us to swallow. It costs us, sometimes richly, in pride, preference, personal control and self-sufficiency. Nevertheless, it is absolutely necessary if we are to maintain our

    I Think Myself Happy

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 8, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 12,623 views

    Our perspective on life's difficult events - seeing a positive meaning and purpose in them - can determine whether we view God and life positively. It is our choice whether we are positive or negative. Paul chose to be positive.

    I THINK MYSELF HAPPY Acts 26:2 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A lady from the big city of Philadelphia came to Texas. She wanted to go on a horseback ride in the Guadalupe Mountains. She said to the cowboy guide, "Can you get me a nice gentle pony?" 2. "Shore," said the cowboy. "What kind of a ...read more

    Codebreaker Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 8, 2017
     | 6,595 views

    The bible is difficult to interpret at times. it’s a codebook, which if used well, can help us decipher the enigmas of life, fight the right battles, know the real enemy and bring us peace with God.

    CODEBREAKER I found it fascinating when I discovered he was a Codebreaker in the war. He looked somehow smaller now and curled up. I prayed for him, sang to him as light filtered through the window onto his old wrinkled brow. The movie “The Imitation Game” talked about Codebreaking in ...read more

     | 8,850 views

    A challenge to our church (a military church) to step up to the plate to serve God after a difficult "PCS move" (Permanent Change of Station). Can be adapted used as a challenge to any church to motivate people to serve.

    What in the World Are We Going to Do? Chuck Sligh August 30, 2015 TEXT: Please turn to Isaiah 26 INTRODUCTION A year ago we had just elected 5 deacons; volunteers were plentiful; and there was no shortage of people saying, “Here am I Lord, use me.” This year, in April and May we lost ...read more

    Straight Outta Context: Philippians 4:13 Series

    Contributed by Paul Basehore on Sep 16, 2015
     | 11,137 views

    Philippians 4:13 does not say that we can literally do anything. What it does say, though, is that a super-powered God will willingly and repeatedly share His strength with us when things get difficult.

    Superheroes are a multi-million dollar enterprise. Superhero movies have more than 13 billion dollars in revenue since 1978 -- and that’s just the movies. Comic book sales in 2015 alone have reached 334 million dollars -- and the year’s not even done yet! In addition, the numbers I just ...read more

     | 5,011 views

    Since God is our power, or strength, our fortress, our high tower, we can stand-and that is our role in the fight. God takes care of the rest. For us, standing is sometimes difficult. But standing is enough.

    10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 15,123 views

    The difficulties associated with our modern day are reaching new levels of intensity. The majority is not interested in the Word or worship. As difficult as it may be, we remain obligated to serve the Lord and reach others. We can advance for Christ.

    Advancing in the Midst of Adversity 1 John 2: 24-29 Take a moment to consider the great challenges John spoke of in our last study. He warned the spirit of antichrist was already among us, seeking to undermine the church and hinder her ministry. He reminds us that we are living in the last time, ...read more

    The Shrine Of Flesh

     | 46,526 views

    The most difficult thing in life is for one to know oneself. It is true that the easiest person to deceive is oneself. And the worst fraud is to deceive oneself. But it is surprising to know that many people actively deceive themselves. Some know within t

    A shrine is not a strange thing to an average person living in Africa because in many of the communities, there are shrines where people worship every time. God is in the business of disqualifying men and women when they do not meet His standard. This is because everyone has this personal shrine ...read more

     | 17,193 views

    There are times in our lives that are difficult to handle and process through and we need strength! We need strength to endure, strength to press forward, strength to hold on, and sometimes even strength to keep moving in the name of the Lord.

    “David was now in serious trouble because his men were very bitter about losing their wives and children, and they began to talk of stoning him. But David found strength in the LORD his God.” (1 Samuel 30:6 NLT) The recorded word of 1 Samuel 30 reveals David in a difficult position of ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,872 views

    An examination of a difficult passage in John 6 where Jesus floors the crowd with his declaration that they must eat his flesh and drink his blood in order to receive eternal life. Appropriate for use prior to Lord's Supper.

    Wisdom or Nonsense? John 6:47-71 47“I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life. 48Yes, I am the bread of life! 49Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died. 50Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never die. 51I am the living bread that came ...read more

    Seeking God In Your Situation

    Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on Aug 18, 2024
     | 3,138 views

    Many people who claimed to know God and connected to Him, cannot actually trust Him to intervene in their situation when things get bad. It is a great strength for a believer to be able to trust God alone in difficult situations.

    Seeking God in your Situation Study Text: 2 Kings 1: 1 - 4 Introduction: Ahaziah was in a difficult situation, but rather than seeking God for solution, he secretly sends to consult the god of Eckron. Worries and fears of the unknown weakens his trust in God, and went outside the will of God to ...read more

    Have you been in the valley lately? Have you come through the valley only to face the mountain. The climb may be long, and it may be difficult, but we can't get to the mountain top by standing at the bottom!

    You won’t get to the mountaintop by standing at the bottom! I want to start out today by asking……. Anyone been in the valley lately?
