The Book Of Lamentations – Part 28 – Persecution Of The Righteous With Schemes And Actions; Wickedness Hates Good - Chapter 3:61-62 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 30, 2025

We have some insights into the problems Jeremiah faced with schemes against him from vindictive assailants. All day long he had to face their whispers and their hatred. Don’t confine this to Jeremiah because it is rapidly increasing against those who love their Lord. Perilous times are coming.

Tested In The Wilderness Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023

Jesus faced temptation in the wilderness after fasting for forty days. Each time Satan tempted Him, Jesus responded with scripture, choosing to rely on God alone. When we face testing in our own lives, we can stand firm in our faith and trust in God's provision.

Imagine you're in the middle of a desert, no food, no water, and you've been there for 40 days. You're starving, thirsty, and all alone. Suddenly, a guy shows up offering you all the food and water you could ever want, but there's a catch. You have to do something that goes against everything you ...read more

An Outline Of Acts 11:1-18

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jun 10, 2022

Peter faced a challenge after he had preached the Gospel to Cornelius. This first section of Acts 11 gives his answer to the charges against him. Good things happened at the end, though!

Introduction: This first section of Acts 11, verses 1-18, describes Peter’s response to those who were upset he had eaten with Gentiles. This would certainly be Cornelius’ household in Caesarea (see Acts 10), but the Jews in Judea didn’t have all the facts. Peter gave a step by step account of what ...read more

A Veteran Of Holiness?

Contributed by Bob Phillips on May 16, 2014

To be a top Soldier in the Army of the Lord, one cannot often be AWOL from formation. Excessive absenteeism from Church leads to a weak line of defense against the battles of everyday life in the ungodly environment we face in this world.

Have you been in any battles lately? Did you win, or were you put down? Sometimes it seems that our daily walk with the Lord is definitely a form of warfare. In your biggest battle, were you about ready to surrender and give it up? Some folks do. Some give up without a fight, some give up after a ...read more

Faith When Your Future Looks Bleak Series

Contributed by Rick Duncan on Jan 13, 2003

The fact that we live in time means that we tend to worry about the future. In this talk, we will examine some of God’s His attributes that can help us face an uncertain future. When we get to know God, we find greater hope for facing life’s challenges.

The pessimist mainly complains about the wind. The optimist simply expects it to change. The realist wisely adjusts the sails. This is a talk for the optimist who just expects things to get better, but rarely is willing to take action. So, the future never really gets brighter. And it’s a talk ...read more
