    The Father Children Dream Of

    Contributed by Saumiman Saud on Jun 15, 2025
     | 144 views

    Here are key points about the kind of father children dream of, using the acronym F.A.T.H.E.R. (translated from A.Y.A.H. in Indonesian):

    THE FATHER CHILDREN DREAM OF A good father becomes a hero to his children. It’s not uncommon for a child to answer, when asked what they want to be when they grow up, “I want to be like my dad.” However, the image of a father can fade away if he fails to be a role model. Not only might he be ...read more

    God Uses The Ordinary To Do The Extraordinary

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 24, 2025
     | 216 views

    It is amazing how some things never change. For example, when Christ was here on earth they had two kinds of men, as we have today. • They had the ordinary man • They had the extraordinary man

    It never ceases to amaze me the people that God chooses to do His work. Such as… (1) David. In 1 Samuel 16:1-12 we read how… • Saul had been rejected as king and God sent Samuel to anoint a new king. Vs. 1-3 • Samuel went. Vs. 4-5 • Jesse and his sons were summoned to the sacrifice vs ...read more

    Surprising The World Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 29, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 447 views

    Understand that not all Christians are called to be evangelists in the traditional sense, but all are called to live lives that provoke questions about their faith. This can be done through acts of kindness, words of affirmation, and giving gifts.

    Have you ever felt a bit freaked out when you hear the word 'evangelism'? Like, does it make you think of knocking on strangers' doors or trying to convince your friends at school to come to church? It can feel a bit like you're being asked to sell something, right? Well, let's take a chill pill ...read more

     | 111,086 views

    Paul declares, "The Jews stumble over the cross. And the Greeks think it is foolishness. But others see in it the power & wisdom of God." And there are still those 3 kinds of people in the world today.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN, BROWNSVILLE, TX (This is an update and a revision of a message that I preached back in 1994.) ILL. There is a story about a little girl who proudly wore a shiny cross on a chain around her neck. One day she was ...read more

    Persecution is promised to believers; therefore we should not be surprised when we encounter trials of various kinds. In the midst of difficulties, we must continue to increase in love for people as we anticipate the return of Christ.

    Standing Firm in Trials Here are a few breaking prayer needs that have been compiled by a ministry called “Open Doors.” (Taken from the Pastor’s Guide for the “International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church,” www.opendoorsusa.org).

    "A living stone" is how Peter refers to Jesus. Peter also calls us "living stones" that are used to build up God’s spiritual house. What kind of building are we doing?

    Israel was commanded to pile 12 stones after they crossed over Jordan as a memorial to God’s deliverance. What kind of rocks are we piling up as a memorial for future generations should Jesus tarry?

    BUILDING YOUR ROCK PILE Joshua 3:14-17; 4:1-7 Life is a journey. With each passing day we are drawing nearer to the time when we must cross over Jordan, the river of death.

    Compares real love with "Britney-love" (the 55-hour-marriage in Las Vegas" kind of love) to discover the differences. What does the Bible say is the foundation of built-to-last relationships? *HANDOUT*

    Work - we’ll get God’s perspective on it - on why we do it and how we are to do it, and we’ll also talk about some of the practicalities of the kind of work that we do.

    WHO WORKS? Could you put your hand up please if you get paid to work? And those who don’t get paid - if you do housework, or some type of volunteer work? I would have thought that everyone would have their hand up because everyone works. Children have schoolwork, and homework. Almost everyone has ...read more

     | 22,148 views

    Unfortunately, most of us don’t know the first thing about fighting the kind of war in this scripture. For, as Ephesians 6:10-12 says, it’s not a battle of flesh and blood, but of the spirit.

    Spiritual Armor for Spiritual War "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." -- (Ephesians 6:12) Unfortunately, most of us don’t know the first thing about ...read more

    If we're going to have the kind of relationship with one another that God wants us to have, then we need to understand why Paul says, "Love does not boast, it is not proud."
