     | 8,665 views

    This message looks at five things that cause people to become disillusioned with God. Part 3 of a series inspired by Philip Yancey’s book "Disappointment with God."

    Is God real? Does He care? Is He even there? Is He there for me? All questions sincere people ask all the time. Why? Because they’ve experienced heartache. They’ve been disappointed. They’ve been disillusioned. What do I mean when I say disillusioned? I’m talking about you having certain negative ...read more

    There is no doubt that when Paul arrived, alone, in the sinful city of Corinth, it was a little bit of a shock. Worn down, lonely, discouraged, he needed the provision of God.

    Passage: Acts 18:1-17 Intro: When we read Acts, we get a picture of Paul in our minds. 1. we picture him striding powerfully from one rejection to another, brushing off the effects of this beating or that imprisonment. 2. but here in Corinth, it seems to have caught up with him. 3. many miles on ...read more

    David is calling out to God. In one he says, my heart is overwhelmed, and in the other he says, My soul refused to be comforted. Have you ever been in a place where your heart refuses to be comforted or where the circumstances of life seem to totally over

    Psalms 61:1. Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer. 2. From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 3.

    The Psalmist tells of the pain of going through the fire. He has become like a bottle in the Smoke.

    (Psa 119:81-83) "For I am become like a bottle in the smoke..." Years ago I helped clean out a house that had been burnt in a fire.

    This is a sermon on Identity from the perspective of "The Exchanged Life" which seeks to facilitate one accepting their identity in Christ.

    I recently read a book about rejection and its effects entitled, "The Ins and Out of Rejection" by Charles R. Solomon. Did you notice the plural tense of "Ins" and the singular tense of the word "Out"? The point is, there are many ins into rejection, but only one "out." The only way out of ...read more

    Our Seasons Of Grief

    Contributed by Ryan Sato on Dec 12, 2004
    based on 38 ratings
     | 11,967 views

    Here we try to understand how David coped with the loss of his best friend Jonathan. Through David’s reactions we are challenged to embrace our seasons of grief in ways that would show that we are relying on God rather than relying on ourselves.

    Opener: This week we reflect on David’s real life struggle with grief. With last week’s teaching on fear, and this week’s text focussed on the theme of grief it seems like we’re wading through some heavy waters aren’t we? But this is good for us. Because I firmly believe that we (as followers ...read more

    God isn’t a God of normalcy. He doesn’t perform according to the standards of the world. Therefore, we at times will endure the Separational Season (a season of the wilderness).

    The Separational Season (Matthew 1:18-25) At a Friday Night Prayer Service, I received confirmation that the message this morning is truly not only for me, but also for the House of Transformation. This year we’ve experienced some wonderful times and some low times. There’s some stuff that many ...read more

    Why was David so sad? Five reasons. But there is reason for hope. Jesus, the son of David, would fulfill David’s emotional prayer "Would to God I had died for thee!"

    Title: "The Tale of Three Kings" Introduction: After learning of the victory over the rebellion that caused King David to flee from Jerusalem, David wept.
