    Contributed by Scott Turansky on Apr 2, 2022
     | 2,393 views

    We learned about “joy stealers.” It’s a concept to which all of us can relate, since life is frequently full of circumstances that conspire to bring us down emotionally.

    You know, the biggest problem that parents report that their children have is not being able to handle disappointment well. How do I know that?

    While Haggai focuses on rebuilding the temple, Zechariah does not focus on the tragedy of a broken city. He looks down the telescope of time and sees a day when Jerusalem will be visited by The King of Kings!

    Intro: This morning I want to preach about our King. I want to point out three aspects of this prophecy: He is Personal, He is Powerful and He is Precise. When God sent Haggai and then Zechariah to deliver this His Word, Jerusalem was still in ruins. It had been destroyed by the Babylonians in ...read more

    We are called to fervent prayers over any difficult situation in our lives. Prayer will open closed doors, pull down satanic oppositions and barriers and give victory on every side.

    TRAVAILING TO PREVAIL Study Text: James 5:16-18 Jam 5:16 Confess faults to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.

    Jesus came to heal those sick with sin. That means the church is meant to be a hospital for those weighed down with guilt. But what can a church do better heal those lost in their shame?

    A Russian soldier was wounded and was ordered to go to military hospital for treatment. When he arrived he found two doors: One was marked, ‘For the slightly wounded,’ and the other, ‘For the seriously wounded’. Well, he wasn’t seriously wounded so he entered through the first door and found ...read more

    Jesus begins His public teaching ministry not in a temple, but on a hillside. The crowds gather. The disciples sit close. And the Lord opens His mouth to speak words that turn the world upside down.

    Go! And Be Comforted and Filled - Matthew 5:4,6 Opening Prayer: Gracious Heavenly Father, We come before You in need of Your truth, Your comfort, and Your righteousness. Open our ears to hear, our minds to understand, and our hearts to receive all that You want to say to us through Your Word ...read more

     | 1,032 views

    The words “If I perish, I perish” show a faith that does not back down in the face of danger. Esther’s boldness teaches us that trusting in God is always worth the risk.

    IF I PERISH, I PERISH By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Esther 4:16 "Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast for me, neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not ...read more

    When you couldn’t reach up to God, He reached down to you, and He invites you to meet Him in the darkness, away from any idol, at the foot of the cross.

    Leighton Ford, the husband of Billy Graham’s youngest sister, Jean, tells the story of a Russian cosmonaut. He came back from space and said, “Some people say God lives out there. I looked around, and I didn't see any God out there.” Billy Graham's wife, Ruth, said he looked in the wrong ...read more

    What must the angels have thought when the Lord they loved -- Jesus -- was announced as going down to be born as a lowly human? How must it have affected them when He was crucified?

    THE DAY THE ANGELS WEPT Luke 2:8-14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A teacher decided to ask her students what their Christmas traditions were. “What traditions does your family do at Christmas?” 2.

    Marital Dominoes Series

     | 3,065 views

    Paul teaches that Spirit-filling plays out in a practical way in our personal relationships, keeping our lives from knocking down the things that are most important instead of building them up.

    Introduction The following game, Marital Dominoes, is an effective way for a husband to cause a negative chain reaction in his wife. The “benefits” of this game then are double. Not only does the husband enjoy his own sins, but he also gets to put up with his wife’s. Everybody loses! The ...read more

     | 4,015 views

    God calls, and we are responsible to return His call. Yet we will only respond to that general call if God calls us specially, in a way that melts down our natural resistance to Him.

    Returning Your Calls (Romans 10:13-21) Intro 1. I do not particularly enjoy the world of phone message recorders. I am glad they exist, and I have one at the office. 2. Sometimes people leave important messages. 3. Sometimes the message is not crucial, but it communicates a piece of ...read more
