Finding Courage In Faith SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 10, 2023

As David questioned the lack of bravery among the Israelites, he posed the question: Is there not a reason to stand up? This question is still pertinent today. There is indeed a reason, and we must be prepared to stand up for it.

In the story of David and Goliath, we often focus on the miraculous defeat of the giant. However, today we will examine the events leading up to this confrontation and the question David posed to his brother: Is there not a cause? This question remains relevant today, as we face challenges to our ...read more

Grab Hold Of The Authority And Power Of God

Contributed by James May on Aug 31, 2022

We must have God's authority and power with us if we are to fight the spiritual warfare in these last hours. We need faith to reach out and take hold of God's promises like the Woman with the issue of blood who took hold of the hem of his garment.

Grab Hold of the Authority and Power of God We live in a time when so many in the church have taken on the attitude of the people who lived in the Land of the Gadarenes in Luke chapter 8.

The Memorial Of A Worthy Walk Series

How Do I Measure Up?

Contributed by Lew Slade on Dec 22, 2008

Is it really the good works of the "sheep" that will secure their salvation?

How do I measure up? I don’t think I can be accused of exaggerating if I say that this is one of the most difficult passages of scripture in the entire Bible (Matthew 25: 31-46). It’s what teenagers today might call “in your face”. It confronts and challenges us at the very core of our being; it ...read more
