  • How To Build A Faithful Nation

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Feb 24, 2007
    based on 10 ratings
     | 2,850 views

    When will Israel learn to trust God? Raising a faithful generation will take more time and more pain. God shows us, Egypt and Canaan are poor places to learn faith.

    This week we finished Leviticus and read the first 18 chapters of the book of Numbers. So, where did you see Jesus in Numbers? The word “Egypt” occurs in Numbers several times doesn’t it. Four times it occurs reminding Israel that God has brought them out of Egypt. Eight times it occurs when ...read more

     | 4,487 views

    You have the same kind of faith at work in God; you can act as Him and enjoy the results he would. Get busy with divine truths and experience the reality of the Kingdom today.

    And Jesus answered "Have faith in God" (Mark 11:22) In the Greek Original translation, it was stated "Have the faith of God". The Greek word "theou" was used and it means "of God" and not "in God". The same Greek word was used in (Matthew ...read more

  • Never Give Up Series

     | 26,877 views

    This message is to encourage the church to never give up on the mission. Regardless of the circimstances that may arise, we should hang on to God’s unchanging hand and to take that much needed step to recieve our promised blessing.

    NEVER GIVE UP Acts 14:1-7 One thing we have to learn as Christians is, regardless of how hard things get or how disheartening they may become, we must not give up. I’ve discovered in this vocation as a pastor, is that every pat on the back is not for ...read more

  • A Complacent David Series

    Contributed by Larry Turner on Jul 9, 2016
     | 15,807 views

    When David became complacent his heart for God turned to a heart for self.

    I want to start today with a story entitled “Kierkegaard's Complacent Duck.” According to his parable, one spring, a duck was flying north with a flock. In the Danish countryside that particular duck spotted a barnyard where tame ducks lived. The duck dropped down and he discovered ...read more

    Is the church willing to risk to move into the Promised Land

    The Promised Land October 30, 2016 Deuteronomy 1:19-40 I was working on a sermon for today, was about 3/4 done, and then I was prompted to throw it away. I really don’t like it when God does that to me. It usually happens a few times a year. I thought I had a really good start to an ...read more

  • The Word Became Flesh

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Dec 24, 2024
     | 615 views

    At the beginning of John's gospel John makes many striking claims about Jesus. One is that he was Logos, the word. Another is that he became flesh. Isn't 'the flesh' bad? Why did Jesus take on flesh? And should we do anything?

    At Christmas, Christians think of the fact that Jesus, though he was God, became man. But John expresses things differently. Rather than saying that God became man, John tells us that THE WORD – in Greek, Logos – became FLESH. John starts his gospel by talking about ‘Logos’ – the word. John ...read more

  • Denying Yourself

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 1,425 views

    Revival revolves around this very notion and directly balances on the denial of ourselves and the cross we carry. Are we ready to take it on? Are we ready to carry our cross?

    Illustration: Passion Season - Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey. What is He denying himself? Jesus is in the garden of gethsemane. What is He denying himself? What cup does He choose? Jesus is put on the cross. What is He denying himself? The path is different because it is the path of ...read more

     | 1,960 views

    In the book of acts we see the expansion of the gospel as the mission of the church. The book of acts is a continuation of what Jesus did and taught.

    I. Witnesses to all of whom Jesus is. (Not just things directly related to salvation) (v.8) A. The same Greek word for witness is the same word used for martyr in other passages of scripture. B.

  • Nehemiah's Actions (Nehemiah 2)

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Dec 4, 2025
     | 37 views

    Do we act in faith?

    Do we just pray or also act in faith, asking God to guide us to act at the right moment? How should we treat our enemies? Let’s examine Nehemiah 2. What request did Nehemiah make of king Artaxerxes? In the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, when wine was before him, I ...read more

    This continues in my expository series through the book of Acts.

    What is it about the bad that seems much more tantalizing to us than the good? Mark Twain said that a lie could travel halfway around the world while the truth was still putting on its shoes. And the old maxim is that while good news travels, bad news travels fast. The mainstream media has been ...read more

  • Understanding Faith In Everyday Life SermonCentral

    Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 7, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 868 views

    Everyone possesses some form of faith. We place faith in various aspects of our lives, such as trusting our car to start and take us to our desired destination, or believing in the expertise of our doctors. This mindset is universal.

    Today, I want to talk about "faith." Everyone has some type of faith, whether it's in their car starting or in their doctor's expertise. We all have faith in something or someone. However, the difference lies in the object of our faith. Our faith is only as good as the object we place it in. In the ...read more
