    The wilderness really reveals what we are. We see two different groups of people in our text facing the same conditions, environment & circumstances. One group of people is dying while the other group is thriving. What makes the difference?

    What do you do when you are facing such monumental obstacles? How do you resist temptation, flee from evil, or believe beyond your ability to understand how your problems can be solved or your battles won?

    Opening illustration: AN ESKIMO FISHERMAN CAME to town every Saturday afternoon. He always brought his two dogs with him. One was white and the other was black. He had taught them to fight on command. Every Saturday afternoon in the town square the people would gather and these two dogs would fight ...read more

    It’s important to recognize how our enemy works so we can be prepared to fight and win the spiritual battles we face. Let’s see what we can learn about Satan’s mode of operation.

    SATAN’S MODUS OPERANDI INTRODUCTION: Satan is real. Some people think Satan is not a literal being. They take the ‘D’ out of ‘devil’ so that you don’t have the person of the devil; you instead have the influence of evil. But that’s not reality. Satan’s greatest deception is to convince people ...read more

    God asks a series of rhetorical questions designed to get the people facing the sad fact that despite being called by God they were no better than the nations around them. In fact, because they refused to bear proper fruit they were worthless to God.

    VERSES 1-5: Israel as a Vine Ezekiel was not the first prophet to refer to Israel as a vine. We see this in the song of the vineyard that is found in Isaiah 5. Also, as we study this chapter, it would be good to remember Jesus offered a reference of Himself as the true vine and the need for us ...read more

    Shall I Not Drink The Cup The Father Has Given Me?

    based on 3 ratings
     | 16,051 views

    Jesus faced his cup of suffering willingly. God had a plan and Jesus, as difficult as it was, was willing to carry it out. Jesus needed to teach this lesson to Peter and it's a good lesson for us as well. Are we willing to 'drink our cup'?

    “SHALL I NOT DRINK THE CUP THE FATHER HAS GIVEN ME?” John 18:1-14 1) Agony in the garden (vs. 1). John’s gospel doesn’t mention anything about the events that took place in the Garden of Gethsemane before Judas showed up. It’s important to look at what Jesus dealt ...read more

    After beginning his letter with hope & encouragement, Peter proceeds with loving counsel for those who are facing trials & suffering. He shares with a suffering church various results that develop out of the trials which God allows to come into our lives.

    1 PETER 1: 6-9 [Renewing Hope Series] OUR PRESENT JOY [James 1:2-4 / Romans 5: 3-5] Our faith in Jesus Christ and His resurrection from the dead not only fills us with a living hope but also with joy inexpressible and full of glory.

    …. one of the four Servant songs. The message seems to be about the nation of Israel at face value. However, the message can be applied to when Jesus came in the first advent. Jesus literally embodied what this text meant as a prophecy that was fulfilled through Him.

    Isaiah 42:1-9 1. "Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations. 2. He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets. 3. A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he ...read more

    Sackcloth and ashes. Fasting and weeping. Tearing clothes and pulling out hair. Lying face down in the dirt. What does repentance look like for New Testament believers? The Prophet Zephaniah reminds of us what believers do when they are repentant.

    Sackcloth and ashes. Fasting and weeping. Tearing clothes and pulling out hair. Lying face down in the dirt. Those are some powerful pictures of repentance, wouldn’t you agree? And what were Old Testament believers saying with these traditions? Wearing clothes made from rough ...read more

    Peter’s response to these religious rule-keepers is a model for us as we face criticism or complaints. We’ll see that Peter’s answer is more pastoral than argumentative. I see seven correctives to help us handle criticism.

    This week I shared something positive on Facebook and got pulverized. The criticism came quickly and repeatedly. Normally I’m more careful about posting about controversial matters so I wasn’t prepared for all the venomous vitriol and overwhelming opposition. One person simply replied, “Oh ...read more

    Dont You Care That We Are Perishing?

    In the face of adversity we as Jesus's disciples should be wary of thinking that He doesnt care. We have the key and its Faith. Without it we end up scared and accusing God of what he's not.

    Have you ever realized that Jesus would get frustrated at the fact that we didnt have faith in Him or what He could do? It seems to be the biggest problem because when the disciples woke him up and even asked him a very bad question in a very bad way. They asked like this.... Dont you care that we ...read more

    When God chooses to open up the flood gates and rain down His showers of blessing, we usually don’t realize it until after we are completely drenched. This message brings encouragement to those who are facing trials and difficulties.

    This morning’s message is entitled, “Show Me Your Glory,” and I want us to look at God’s blessings today. I want to open by having us consider how the Lord’s blessings are similar to a jet aircraft flying at supersonic or near-sonic speeds. Did you ever hear a jet fly overhead and you looked ...read more

    Peculiar People

    Israel's desire for a king is used to illustrate the temptation we face to be more like the rest of the world. But even though the world's view of us often chafes, it is God's plan that we be conspicuously different.

    I) After Moses brought the nation of Israel out of Egypt, they did not have a king for many years. A) Unlike the nations around them, they were led by men and women, judges, who were direct intermediaries between God and man. B) Early on, the people tried to make one of those judges, Gideon, into ...read more

    As Peter concluded this very practical letter that addressed the difficulties the church faced while seeking to encourage them to remain committed, he drew their focus back to the one who could provide all they needed regardless of the situation - the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Victory in Jesus 1 Peter 5: 6-11 We have considered much in our time moving through Peter’s first epistle. Being aware of their struggles, Peter addressed their need while challenging them to remain steadfast in spite of the opposition they faced. He knew the world was watching their lives, ...read more
