     | 37,454 views

    Oftentimes we don’t see God operating, but yet He is there; behind us, in front of us and on our left hand and right. God’s unseen hand guides and controls, tears down and builds up.

    I Can’t See Him, But I Know He Is There SCRIPTURE: "Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him: But he knoweth the way that I ...read more

    Some people thing that when we accept Jesus as Lord, all our problems will be over and we are in for smooth sailing. But that is simply not the case. We will still at times have trials, problems and difficulties. But God's love and his word can bring us through any trial with victory!

    SURVIVING TRIALS Some people thing that when we accept Jesus as Lord, all our problems will be over and we are in for smooth sailing. But that is simply not the case.

    This sermon explores the importance of prayer, solitude, and seeking God amidst life's busyness.

    Good morning, dear church family, it is indeed a joy and privilege to gather in the house of the Lord today. As we come together in fellowship, our hearts are stirred by the power of God’s Word, the comfort of His presence, and the unity of His Spirit.

    Life Is Not Fair Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 29, 2003
    based on 124 ratings
     | 14,619 views

    Life seems unfair to the disappointed, the cheated, the cynical. It was unfair to compel Simon to carry the cross -- injustice piled on. But God uses injustice to stir His people to action, to help us get beyond mere survival, to give us to one another.

    Life is not fair. It just isn’t. The playwright MacLeish has his character “J.B.” scream out something we are all afraid to say, but it might be true: “If God is God, He is not good; if God is good, He is not God.” What an awesome thing to think, let alone speak! “If God is God, He is not ...read more

     | 3,345 views

    The hard commands of Jesus are best understood as being directed to the church, which should be a Community of Grace. This sermon addresses Jesus’ teaching on lust, sin and adultery.

    The Examined Life in the Community of Grace Our key scripture today suggested to me the sermon title, The Examined Life”. You may have heard of this saying by Socrates, an ancient philosopher: “The unexamined life is not worth living." It struck me that, in some very strong language, what ...read more

    “Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, ‘if you are the Son of God throw yourself down from here…’ And Jesus answered and said to him, ‘it has been said, ‘you shall not tempt the Lord your God’” Luke 4:9-

Illus: Many times we feel like the man who was married to a beautiful woman, but they had difficulties in their marriage. Nothing seemed to be going right for him.

    Gospel Of Life Series

    With the Gospel, believers are: 1) Armed with the Mind of Christ (1 Peter 4:1), 2) Armed with the Life of Christ (1 Peter 4:2), 3) Disarming the life before Christ (1 Peter 4:3-5), and 4) Armed because of the Judgement of Christ (1 Peter 4:6).

    1 Peter 4:1-6. [4:1] Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, [2] so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God.
