    God Knows What He’s Doing

    Contributed by H.b. Charles Jr. on Jul 17, 2012
    based on 18 ratings
     | 66,075 views

    "God Knows What He’s Doing" is a sermon based on the doxology of Paul recorded in Romans 11:33-36. It declares that God is worthy to be praised, because God knows what he’s doing, even when we do not.

    GOD KNOWS WHAT HE’S DOING Romans 11:33-36 There is a pattern in the New Testament Epistles of Paul. He begins by explaining doctrine and then exhorts to duty. This pattern reminds us that doctrine and duty go together in the Christian life. Christianity is not religious activism disconnected ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,033 views

    INTRODUCTION People often speak about a certain kind of gift as a “gift that keeps on giving.” It’s used often, but do you know its origin?

    Uncovering four foundational truths about the character of God in Jesus' Parable of the Tenants and a corresponding personal lesson we can apply to our lives.

    INTRODUCTION The title of this message carries a double meaning. We’re going to learn that Jesus was not only the rejected SON; He was also the rejected STONE.

    Moonstruck Lunatic And Members

    Contributed by Engleburg Toney on Jun 6, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,875 views

    Whether the boy was a lunatic or suffered from epilepsy is not really the issue. Fact of the matter is the Church suffered from a seizure of unbelief that cripples the ministry of Christ.

    Before we talk about our text this evening we need to first ask ourselves do we truly, honestly, sincerely, want to see our Lord’s return. I ask because the Bible gives us four things that must occur before the Second Coming of Christ and they are all within our scope of responsibility and are ...read more

    Don’t treat sin like a weed-eater whacking away at the visible weed—go to the root of the problem. It’s a heart problem, not a behavior problem.

    INTRODUCTION In the last message I mentioned one of my favorite Presidents, Calvin Coolidge. He was known as “silent Cal,” because he was a man of few words. One day, President Coolidge was walking home from attending church and reporters gathered around him. They asked, “What ...read more

     | 9,034 views

    If we want to engage and influence a post-Christian culture which no longer shares our values, we must recognize that God is sovereign, resolve to obey God, and relate to unbelievers with respect.

    Just last year (March 21, 2012), the Washington Times carried a story about a 3-million dollar strip club being built next to a retirement home for nuns in Chicago’s western suburbs. “On one side of the fence are women in habits and wimples who have taken vows of poverty, chastity and ...read more
