    Thorns Of Life

    Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on May 17, 2011
    based on 26 ratings
     | 34,293 views

    There are different kinds of vessels in the house of God. So you will do well to examine what kind of vessel you are. Let me clear one thing before we go deeper into this message: God will not accept any excuse from anyone for not being a useful vessel.

    Our message this week, is what I call “The thorns of life.” Genesis 3:17-19 says, “And unto Adam He said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee saying, thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy ...read more

    Rev. 6 shows us the effect on mankind as they see Christ's 2nd coming. They are all seized with remorse for their sins and terror at the expected judgment. We'll also face Christ in all His power & glory. No excuses for disobedience will be accepted.

    SEEK THE REFUGE Revelation 6 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: GAS SHORTAGE It was the start of a holiday weekend and the last "full-service" gas station was crowded. Finally the attendant hustled up to the local minister who had been waiting in line some time. "I'm sorry for the delay, ...read more

    How many times have we heard someone say as an excuse to the way they act, "That’s just the way I am and I can’t help it"? Christ is concerned with the way we act, and there are certain characteristics he wants us to develop in our lives.

    HOW SHOULD I ACT, ANYWAY? A. Have you been in an UNCOMFORTABLE situation where you didn’t know how to ACT? 1. Undoubtedly we all have at one time. ILLUSTRATION: It could be that you started work at a new JOB and you had no idea what you were supposed to DO or how to ACT. When you went to ...read more

    That sadness that you hold inside of you. That hurt, that anger, that bitterness, that despair, that disappointment, that worry. Do you want to get well? This sermon gives four things that we must do in order to get well.

    Do You Want To Get Well? John 5:1-15 (this sermon was preached on the first Sunday of the year. The text in parenthesis was added for that occasion.) Turn in your Bibles to John chapter 5.

    The Wedding Banquet: Invitation, Ingratitude, And Indiscretion, Part 2

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 20, 2023
     | 895 views

    The original recipients of the invitation to the banquet (Matthew 22:1-7) refused to attend, giving flimsy excuses that resulted in their destruction (v.7). Who would attend the banquet now? Here is where we see the king's mercy extend to "the least of these".

    The Christian band Sidewalk Prophets wrote a song entitled, "Come to the Table", based on the Parable of the Wedding Banquet (Matthew 22:1-14) and the call of God for everyone regardless of their situation to come to the table and take place in the celebration. The Wedding Banquet is ...read more

    Paul exposes the guilty hypocrite, examines the kindness of God, then speaks of the wrath of God against sin stored up on account. In these last days, men’s hearts are like concrete reinforced with tungsten steel. They do not want to repent.

     | 2,902 views

    Do you know the word "trying" appears once in the Bible and it's not about attempting to do something and failing? Trying has become "the" excuse as to why we fail to do what God has called, empowered and commanded us to do.

    When Trying Stops Doing Starts Scripture: James 1:3; John 10:10; Mark 8:22-26; 11:22-24 The title of my message this morning is “When Trying Stops, Doing Starts.” I am trying!
