     | 36,412 views

    "Teach Me" is an exposition of Psalm 119:33-40. It teaches that only God can teach you how to live right. There is (1) a prayer for personal admission into God's school, (2) a prayer for continual progress in God's school, and (3) a prayer for steadfast p

    TEACH ME! Psalm 119:33-40 In Psalm 51:5, David confesses, “Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.” Every one of us shares David’s sad testimony. We are all sinners – by nature, by birth, by inclination, by choice, and by conduct. ...read more

     | 16,484 views

    The Psalmist shows us how it is that we grow in our knowledge of God through the act of worship.

    Knowing God Through Worship - Psalm 146 - June 5, 2016 Worship is an important word. It’s in a sense a universal word, because everyone worships something. For Christ followers, it is the primary activity of our life - the most important thing we do, I believe, that prepares us to be salt ...read more

    Meeting our children's greatest need

    As we’ve discussed for the last four weeks, raising G-Rated Kids in an X-Rated World is not easy. And perhaps, even in the church, we’ve made it even more difficult because of the expectations that we place on parents. Often, it seems like what I call the “Christian parenting industry” feeds these ...read more

    As a child of God, we will all face times when we might have to take an unpopular stance for the word of God. When this happens we might find ourselves standing alone. This message tells us how to do it.

    Sometimes We Must Stand Alone Scripture: Joshua 24:14-15; John 6:60-67; Matthew 7:13-16 Good morning, Strangers Rest. The title of my message this morning is, “Sometimes We Must Stand Alone.” The eleventh chapter of Hebrews records those of the Old Testament who walked with God in faith. It ...read more

    The Surprising Results Of Fear And Faith

    Contributed by Jon Mackinney on Oct 24, 2003
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,668 views

    We have gotten used to fear as a part of our daily lives. But it is a monster, ready and willing to destroy our effectiveness as believers, and steal our joy. Let’s see what Paul has to say about it in the context of this familiar passage about prayer.

    How many of you have memorized that passage, at some point maybe even have quoted it? Good. You know what they say about familiarity though, don’t you? Familiarity can breed a lot of contempt and this particular passage is a familiar one. You’ve heard it many times. And sometimes the ...read more

    The Lord Who Leads Series

     | 67,557 views

    Since this psalm is so familiar, we’re in danger of missing the depth of its meaning. And, because it’s setting is in the world of sheep and shepherds, many of us city slickers can slide right past its richness.

    The Lord Who Leads Most everyone has heard of Psalm 23. It’s a poem with no peer and has been called the sweetest song ever sung. Abraham Lincoln read it to cure his blues, and President Bush proclaimed it publicly to calm our nation’s fears after 9-11. I read these words out loud a week ago ...read more

    In “The Journey of Faith” from Psalm 23, we experience: 1) God’s provision (Psalm 23:1–3) and 2) God’s protection (Psalm 23:4–6).

    Psalm 23:1–6. 1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.3 He restores my soul.

    Like the prodigal son, Jonah came to himself in his moment of despair. He cried out unto the Lord, desiring renewed fellowship with Him. Seeking to flee the Lord's presence cannot delay the inevitable.

    Prayers from the Deep (Part 2) Jonah 1:17 – 2:10 In our last study we began the most familiar portion within the book of Jonah – his being swallowed by the great fish. Again, I want to emphasize the dominant theme conveyed throughout the book – the absolute sovereignty of God in all His dealings, ...read more

    Three Widows In Moab Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,101 views

    As you examine the lives of Naomi, Ruth, and Orpah, you find a picture of all people. Naomi represents a wayward believer; Orpah pictures one who was exposed and yet refused the gospel; Ruth is a picture of grace in salvation.

It is a picture of the world, much like that of Egypt in Scripture. Dwelling in the land of Moab will always result in separation and spiritual ...read more
