The Voice Of The Lord

Contributed by D Marion Clark on Apr 20, 2016

With displays of the power of nature, it seems appropriate to turn to Scripture to provide us with lessons from nature’s storms. You may not have had to face hurricanes lately, but all of us have, and will, face our share of storms in our lives.

Psalm 29 The Voice of the Lord 11/21/04 D. Marion Clark Introduction I first preached this sermon to my congregation in Florida. At that time two hurricanes had struck the state – Hurricane Charley, then hurricane Frances, which passed over our community. Florida had never been hit by ...read more

Hey! A Christian Can’t Do That! Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014

There are things we face in life that do not fall neatly into the right or wrong categories. There are some things we’re faced with, some areas of conduct that the Bible really doesn’t address. That’s what Paul is addressing.

INTRODUCTION Open your Bibles, please, to Romans 14. Today I want to talk about, “Hey! A Christian Can’t Do THAT!” I heard about a guy who crossed the street in front of his house to go to the mailbox and get the mail. And after he got the mail he was walking back across the ...read more

Owned

Contributed by Je Layugan on Apr 11, 2022

Nothing compares to God. But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a man by the name of Jacob who claimed to have seen God face to face, was in a wrestling match with God, and even defeated God.

Nothing compares to God. He is Omnipresent, (always everywhere). Omniscient (all knowing). Omnipotent (all powerful). He is transcendent (he is beyond and above us and our understanding of this world) But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a ...read more

The Holy Spirit - Part 9 Of 9 Series

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Jul 6, 2017

This final part of the 9-part series examines various ways we can set ourselves in opposition to the Holy Spirit, the Spirit's role as intercessor, and the vitally important question, "How can I know that I have the Holy Spirit in me?"

Because of that background, questions were developed for each lesson for participants to use in a setting conducive to discussion, or as handouts for ...read more

Undeserved - A God Who Loves Anyway

Contributed by Roberta Karchner on Jun 12, 2020

In the context of White Privilege, we sometimes think God loves us because we are lovable. Quite the opposite, God calls us when we aren't worthy or even very lovable. Responding to a God who brings laughter.

I was speaking with a group of pastors this week about ...read more

God Encounters: Ezekiel (Religious Experience Vs. Religious Action) Series

Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Jul 24, 2004

This is about Ezekiel’s God encounter. It explores the difference between religious experience and religious action. Religious EXPERIENCE means nothing without ACTION.

Read Ezekiel 1:4-3:15. This is a bizarre vision. Not all God encounters are alike. We see here two things: Religious Experience (ch. 1) and Religious Action (chs. 2 & 3). What is the difference between the two? * Religious Experience is… In chapter 1, we see Ezekiel’s strange religious ...read more
