Saturday - The Day Of Darkness And Hopelessness Series

Contributed by David Owens on Apr 11, 2022

The biblical record of what took place on that Saturday between crucifixion Friday and resurrection Sunday is very brief. It was the Sabbath, and the disciples kept the Sabbath. There are important lessons for us to learn from what the disciples were surely going through on that dark Saturday.

A. There’s an old saying that goes “It’s always darkest before the dawn.” 1. The saying is meant to suggest that things always seem to get worse before they get better. 2. And the saying also suggests that the dawn will come, that we need to persevere through hard times, because things will get ...read more

God renews our strength when we are weary; waiting on Him in prayer brings hope, endurance, and the power to rise above life’s burdens.

Breathing New Life Into The Church

Contributed by Fred Sigle on Mar 19, 2007

There are churches (and individual Christians) who look at the trouble and hardships their dealing with and feel that God has forsaken them. They feel like their spiritual life is being sapped right out of them, and are on the brink of giving up.

BREATHING NEW LIFE IN THE CHURCH A. How is your WALK with Christ? 1. I think most Christians will answer that question with, "It’s good." COMMENT: Deep down, however, something is MISSING. You can’t quite put your finger on it, but the JOY you once had in Christ is DIMINISHING. ...read more

Contributed by James Lee on Dec 4, 2015

I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

“Lord I can’t do this anymore” Acts 18:1-11 I guess all of us at one time or another get depressed and feel like giving up. In the heat of a moment we may feel like saying: “there’s no use going on because the harder I try, the worse things seem to get. I ...read more

The Pleasure Of Power Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

Power to do the will of God is one of life's greatest pleasures. Weakness that lets the flesh determine our direction in life is one of life's greatest pains. The great battle of life is between pleasure and pain, and which one dominates is determined by our source of power.

Every day of your life you enjoy the pleasure of power. The power to flip switches and give light in the darkness, and heat in the coldness. The power of electricity is the source of abundant pleasure. When we lose that power we are deprived of all our electric devices, and it is a major pain. ...read more

Coming Down From The Mountain

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Feb 27, 2003

Reflection B.4 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? / The Old Testament Prophets – Still Relevant Today!

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 11, 2020

The Old Testament prophets are relevant to our question because their major theme is judgement, and because God's great act of judgement at the end of the Old Testament may be a foreshadowing of his judgement of the whole world in 'End Times'.

Starting with my next Reflection I will look at some passages in the Old Testament prophets. I would love to dive straight in, but I feel that some sort of introduction is in order. First, the Old Testament prophets take up more of the Bible than the whole of the New Testament! We believe God ...read more

A Hope For All Seasons

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Oct 28, 2001

True, lasting hope comes not from our circumstances, nor does it come from within ourselves. It comes from God.

Praying With Purpose

Contributed by Dr. Jeremy Simpson on Mar 11, 2007

The Lesson to be learned here is that prayer which begins with sighing generally ends in singing. We need to pray with purpose. We need to spend each day in prayer to God.

PRAYING WITH PURPOSE-- PSALMS 5:1-12 Introduction: Those who believe in and practice set forms of prayer can find no justification for such in the Book of Psalms. There is a complete disregard for mechanical praying throughout the book. When you have a burning concern, praying come from the ...read more
