     | 1,582 views

    Missed opportunities. The King dismisses those on his left into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels because they did not do the six actions that those on the right had done.

    The story is told of a farmer who received a visit from one of his city relatives. Before dinner the farmer bowed his head and said grace.

    Every person must choose which god he/she will serve. James challenges us not only to recognize the choice, but to choose the God who will never fail us.

    I recently heard a story about several guys who were in the locker room of a private exercise club. They were all talking when a cell phone laying on the bench rang. One man picked it up without hesitation, and the following conversation ensued: "Hello?" "Honey, It’s me." "Oh, hi dear!" "I’m at the ...read more

     | 6,638 views

    Why do some people misuse their privileges? In this passage, Paul gives a historical survey of how Israel misused, abused and failed to take advantage of their God given privileges.

    Illustration:Complacency is a blight that saps energy, dulls attitudes, and causes a drain on the brain. The first symptom is satisfaction with things as they are. The second is rejection of things as they might be. "Good enough" becomes today’s watchword and tomorrow’s standard. Complacency ...read more

    The Call Of Samuel And The Fall Of Eli Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jan 20, 2003
    based on 134 ratings
     | 46,666 views

    The Priesthood has failed so God raises up a prophet to bring his word to his people. God uses the circumstances of Hannah to bring about his plan.

    I doubt that Samuel realised just what was in store for him as he began his service of God in the Temple with Eli. No doubt it began as a fairly simple routine of lessons and chores with plenty of time for games. As a young child he would have been looked after by the many people who worked and ...read more

    Many times we fail to receive the Lord’s blessings because we put what we love before us rather than what the Lord wants.

    FIRST THINGS FIRST GENESIS 29:25-27 When morning came, there was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, “what is this you have done to me? I served you for Rachel, didn’t I?

A man who had failed to win favor with God His Religion had failed to give him peace with God His Riches had failed to give him peace in his heart His Righteousness had failed to give him peace of ...read more

    Like Israel many congregations within the Body of Christ have failed to live in obedience and like Israel have had to undergo the effects of their failure and are in desperate need of revival.

    Revive Thy Work O Lord Ezra 9:4-14 Introduction: Israel had been called to be a light to the world for God. Through continued disobedience the nation brought God’s judgment upon itself. Today the church has been given that task as God’s instrument to reflect His truth. ...read more

     | 3,323 views

    The peace that makes our hearts kind and gentle, the peace that overcomes worry, and the peace that protects us from our own fleshly failings and the devil’s lies.

    Intro What an experience it must have been to be in the Old Testament Church. There you are in the Temple. Gold sparkles in the sun. Finely polished wood enamors the eye. Rich tapestries, exquisite engravings, and flawlessly hewn stone make up the Temple of God. And just as memorable must ...read more

    As Christians we are bound to fail. Peter and John walked by one man laying near the gate called Beautiful countless times. In time they provided for the man physically and spiritually.

     | 5,349 views

    “Peace on earth” is a familiar Christmas greeting. However, it is as elusive today as it was 2,000 years ago. Did Christ then fail in his mission in coming to earth?

    Today is the second message in our series, “Christmas Through the Ages.” Today, we travel back 99 years to 1914. I chose 1914 instead of 1913 because 1914 was a monumental year. APRIL 15, 1914 marked the sinking of the Titanic. In July and August the nations of Europe declared ...read more

    Could it be me? Could I be the one who betrays Jesus? No matter how long we serve the Lord, there’s always a chance that we could fail.
