    Contributed by Don Hawks on Mar 5, 2002
    based on 72 ratings
     | 26,024 views

    If Jabez was to be blessed indeed, he had to be kept from evil. Some important principles to overcoming the obstacles to expanding the borders of God’s blessings he has prepared for us are also discussed.

    (Based on comments by Bruce Wilkinson at Walk thru Life Conference PPT slides and outline available) Today I continue with part 3 of the challenges of the prayer of Jabez. A man had a problem finding a parking space. He finally parked in a no parking zone and left a note on his windshield that ...read more

    Jesus encounters a man with so many demons the man says his name is "Legion." Yet, the community is not afraid of this man. Like our culture, the biblical community had grown comfortable with evil.

    by the Rev. Dr. W. Maynard Pittendreigh, Jr. Sunrise Presbyterian Church Miami Florida Pittendreigh@aol.com When I was in high school, there was a local legend about the Blue Ghost of Maddox Bridge Road.

    Edmund Burke said, "All that is necessary for evil to prosper is that enough good men do nothing." Our world needs real-life superheroes. YOU can be a superhero! Find out how...

    Return Of The King Series

     | 3,770 views

    God allows evil to grow side by side with good in order to give every person the opportunity to receive him and be a part of his kingdom, but the time for judgement and separation will be coming when the King returns.

    For those of you who weren’t here last week you missed a great presentation from our missionaries Randy and Patti Cunningham on their work down in Haiti and the Caribbean.

    Getting Into The Weeds Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 18, 2010
     | 4,536 views

    Why does evil exist in the world and what are we to do about it? Jesus tells a good story and has some sober advice as we look at ourselves - are we weeds or wheat?

    Today we are going to talk about three parables that give us an idea of the effect of the gospel in the world. Last time we looked at the parable of the sower, which describes how the individual is or is not open to the gospel. Now we turn outward to look at how the gospel spreads. First century ...read more

    St Anselm Patron Of American Bishops

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 21, 2012
     | 2,366 views

    The Church is Incarnational, and must have both a sacred and secular existence, and yet must not become subservient to the state, whether kings or democratically elected tyrants who would make us do evil.

    St. Anselm Day April 21, 2011 If today’s lesson from Acts chapter 6 has any historical meaning at all, it is a confirmation that there have always been little fissures forming in the living stones that make up the Church. Early in our history, Greek-speaking converts to Judaism were ...read more

    Hate The Sin; Love The Sinner

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 20, 2014
     | 3,145 views

    If we are to effectively witness the Gospel to the world, regarding all kinds of evil, and living virtuous lives, we must do exactly as God has done to us: love the sinner and hate the sin.

    It’s amazing how similar the climate in the Holy Land is to the climate here in South Texas, especially in the summer. The figs in our back yard are ripening, and I understand that this hot month in Palestine is also the season for ripe figs. The Scriptures are right even on agricultural ...read more

    God's Justice And Ours Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jan 25, 2015
     | 8,368 views

    If life is to be meaningful there must be a God who ensures justice. God is not indifferent to evil, yet His wrath was satisfied in the death of His Son. Sin must be punished--and it was--on the Cross.

    Thomas Jefferson, in a somber moment, noted: “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just.” How long will God put up with a people who have turned from Him and have forsaken righteousness? We may question why God punishes sin, but we also need to also ask why He ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,930 views

    To be wholly devoted to God, we must have wholly devoted eyes. To have wholly devoted eyes we must have eyes that are focused on God, closed to evil, and open to the needs of others.

    Introduction: A. The story is told of a woman who rushed to her doctor. 1. Looking very worried and all strung out, she rattled off, “Doctor, take a look at me.

    A Kind Of Love Nobody Should Desire Series

    Contributed by Dan Proctor on Mar 7, 2013
     | 5,663 views

    The Bible is replete with warnings concerning greed, covetousness, and materialism. Money itself is not evil, but when a love for money is born in a person’s heart, there is no limit to how low a man can plunge.

    A Kind of Love Nobody Should Desire Acts 19:21-41 www.crbible.com/sermons Introduction: 1. Have you ever been a part of a mob scene, or seen one? It’s not a pretty sight. 2.

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,353 views

    The existence of terrible things happening in the world is a complex and challenging aspect of our human experience. We seek to understand this in light of our beliefs about God, the fallen nature of humanity, and the presence of evil.

    God's Protection In Captivity Series

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Jan 30, 2023
     | 2,140 views

    God will never forsake His own. In captivity, God will protect the righteous from evil rulers so their captivity will be no more than they can stand. Look at the life of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

    Let us begin a study of the book of Daniel to understand the protection of righteous Hebrew children during the captivity. God has always promised to his righteous he would always be with them in time of peril. The very nature of man is to wonder or worry about their future. When under stress, the ...read more

    The rebellious leader seem to all have the same characteristics that shows up in evil ways: pride, selfishness, jealousy, greed, lust for power, and disregard for the will of God even when they proclaim belief in Him.

    Sunday Afternoon Message from Pastor Roy: We have been through a lot in our United Methodist Church, other denominations also, our local Churches and in our Country.

     | 1,869 views

    We think of sin as a single act, but God sees it as a process. Adam committed a single act of sin (evil), and yet that one act brought sin, death, and judgment on the entire human race.

    The Moment To Decide

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 2, 2024
     | 380 views

    Every generation has a defining moral question, often between life and death, but always between good and evil. In the nineteenth century, it was for the right to choose ownership of other humans, or against the exploitation of slaves.

    Wednesday of the Thirtieth Week in Course 2024 Today’s Gospel hits the lukewarm Christian right in the gut, if it first has an encounter with his head. Christ’s disciples have asked Him if there will be only a few humans saved. Jesus jumps right to the main point, telling them something more ...read more
