    The Ark Of The Lord

     | 16,172 views

    The story of the Ark’s return to Jerusalem is a sharp reminder of what happens if God’s instructions are flouted and the blessing that obedience brings.

    THE ARK OF THE LORD I expect some of you will, like me, have wasted a couple of hours watching the film "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark". It’s a fantasy adventure story loosely based on the fact that the Ark of the Covenant was lost without trace nearly two and a half thousand ...read more

    There is the old song that says There’s an all-seeing Eye watching you. Those words bring fear, but with God they bring comfort.

    God Is Watching You! Psalm 139:1-6 Woody Allen’s film, Crimes and Misdemeanors, centers on a modern Jewish physician named Judah whose adultery has caught up with him and is starting to cause his life to unravel. As is the norm, in the midst of his turmoil, Judah seeks to return to his biblical ...read more

    What is it that we all have that is exactly the same? How are we similar? There are a lot of areas where we are different. But how are we all the same?

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2011) A. In Luke 19:11 27 Jesus tells a familiar parable, & for that reason I hesitate because when you talk about something familiar, people tend not to listen. They think, "I already know all about that." ...read more

    I wrote this sermon to preach in a church where the pastor had just died on Wednesday night before. God wanted to demonstrate how His timing and His power is more important than the humans in charge.

    The Unhindered Gospel in the Hindered Church A 20th century philosopher, Gamaliel Bradford, once said that “Life is hope triumphing over experience.” In those words, he summed up 20th century optimism. He implied that humanity would learn from its experience and improve. His hope was in the ...read more

    Contributed by Clinton Smith on Feb 18, 2008
     | 5,608 views

    This sermon encourages the believer to embrace lost people as the father embraced his rebellious son.

    As Jesus moves through these stories, He is placing greater and greater emphasis upon the value of the thing lost. In the illustration of The Lost Sheep, there was 1 sheep out of 100 missing, just 1%. In the illustration of The Lost Silver, there was 1 coin out of 10 missing, 10%. In the ...read more
