  • How To Follow Jesus--Though Persecuted Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jun 8, 2021
     | 2,220 views

    How we regard difficulties and persecutions will have everything to do with whether we respond positively or negatively to them. Surprising to us, the very things designed by men to destroy faith cause it to thrive, when we have a godly attitude.

    Jeanie and I recently read a book with a provocative name—The Insanity of God—by the pseudonymous author Nip Ripken. Of course, the title elicits the question, what is insane about God—a question the author never directly answers, but only becomes evident upon contemplation of his message. It ...read more

    Jesus and His disciples were on a literal sea, facing a real storm; It represents the trials and difficulties we experience. All of us are, at times, storm-tossed and feel we're going under. Look to the Master of the Storms!

    Contributed by Eric Hanson on Feb 15, 2023
     | 1,965 views

    Many people, including Christians, struggle greatly with the Goodness of God. They get their ideas about Him from circumstances and difficulties, rather than from the life of Jesus Christ. This message can help refocus people to the considering the proper evidence.

    The Goodness of God Pastor Eric J. Hanson January 29, 2023 Read Matthew 19:16-17a. One of the first childhood prayers that many of us learned, went like this: “God is good. God is great. Let us thank Him for this food. Amen.” It is easy to smile, remembering the childlike simplicity of this little ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 31, 2022
     | 1,963 views

    When Paul said to give thanks in everything he meant it, and he did just that; thanks in persecution, thanks in every difficulty; thanks for His fellow Christians and workmen. Thanks and rejoicing go together and they are considered in this message.

    MESSAGE 12 - 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 5:18 – GIVING THANKS IN EVERYTHING; REJOICING WITH THANKSGIVING {{1Thessalonians 5:18 “In EVERYTHING give thanks for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”}} [A]. WHAT IS EVERYTHING? That is challenging. “Everything” is everything. We all know ...read more

  • The Narrow And Difficult Way Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 20, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,754 views

    There are two separate gates that lead to two separate ways, or roads. One way leads to blessing and the other way to difficulty. So, which way, or which road, leads to life and blessing? The correct way is Jesus (John 14:6).

    When I was in my twenties, I was an avid cave explorer. Now, I just watch caving videos on YouTube. It is interesting how spelunkers will naturally follow a large wide-open passage first. They will bypass numerous smaller ones, all because the larger one does not involve hunching over or ...read more

    Paul is wrapping up his encouragement letter to the Philippians by acknowledging their genuine concern for him, and by reminding them that circumstances have no power of his perspective--he knows that Christ in us is greater than any difficulty this world can produce.

  • Broken, Worn Out, Old Clay Pots

    Contributed by Paul Dietz on Jun 19, 2008
    based on 5 ratings
     | 14,917 views

    I used this sermon as one of several in a series on Clay Pots (Earthen Vessels). This was the one I used on Father’s Day during that series.

    I recently came across a Chinese parable that eludes to our thoughts for today’s text. It’s a tale about a water-bearer and his two pots of clay. An elderly peasant had two large clay pots. One of the pots had a crack down its side to a point about half way. The other pot, perfect! Each had been ...read more

    based on 30 ratings
     | 73,130 views

    The Bible talks about Christ in you, the hope of glory. What does that mean? And if we really believed that, how could it transform our lives?

    CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY OPENING TEXT: “I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church, of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for ...read more

    based on 19 ratings
     | 19,680 views

    Peter's sifting was no match for Jesus' prayer. God's plan is for His people to always overcome every trial and every test that the devil can send against us.

    Down But Never Out Sunday a.m., January 31, 2010 By Pastor James May This has been a week that I will long remember. There are some things that come along in life that will tend to stretch, bend, twist and break your faith. For the Reed Family in particular, this has been one of those weeks. ...read more

  • The Trial Of Our Christian Faith

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Sep 10, 2015
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,260 views

    When we talk to the genuinely curious, we show God’s love. We show that we want to be with God and want others to be with him. We will love the things and people that he loves. We will hate the things and people that he hates. We will love others.

    The reading we heard from John 5:30-47 a few minutes ago takes place during a “trial”, but it was not held in a courtroom. Jesus had just healed the paralyzed man at the pool of Bethsaida, and the healing took place on the Jewish Sabbath. The Jews had strict rules about what could and ...read more

    Try to remember that no matter what Satan, the world, or this life throws at you, turn to the one who can see you through it all, and never give up on his promise to never leave or forsake you.

    There is a saying that “When the going gets tough, the tough get going”. Job could have been the one who started that saying. He truly bore more grief and pain than we can imagine. Vs 2: Even today is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning. Vs 3: Oh that I knew ...read more
