    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Jun 17, 2019
     | 5,585 views

    Part 3 in a 14-part series of studies I call “The Christian Character” as described by Jesus to a crowd of people on a Galilean hillside as he delivered what is more familiarly known as the “Sermon on the Mount.” In this part we examine the beatitude, “Blessed are those who mourn.”

    Sermon on the Mount The Christian Character Matthew 5:3 - 7:27 (Cf. Luke 6:20-49) Part 3 - Beatitudes – those who mourn This is Part 3 in a 14-part series of studies I call “The Christian Character” as described by Jesus to a crowd of people on a Galilean hillside as he delivered what is more ...read more

    I want to read from a text that is similar to the situation we have today. It is from John 11:1-15. Also, I would like to read John 14:1-4 for your comfort.

    Most of us who plan to take a trip to a foreign country go to the county library, or borrow some books from a friend, and begin to read about what we can expect when we arrive in that distant land. As you know ______________ has recently taken a trip, and we are going to the Word of God to see ...read more

    The Struggle continues as Jesus deals with His Disciples. God goes to the extreme implementing "Visual Aids", "Live Witnesses" and "Audio from Heaven"......but they still don't get it.

    “Frustrated Jesus" Sermon 2 Mark 9 Summerfield Baptist Church / Gregg Griffin Sr. 6.22.14 A.M.

    Once the fish had vomited Jonah out, God’s call came to the prophet to arise and go to Nineveh and preach to the people. God’s call to the church is to take the good news of the gospel to those outside. May we too arise and go to fulfill the great commission of Jesus.

    We read in Jonah 3:1-2, Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.”(ESV) These are the words of God to Jonah after the fish vomited him out onto the shore. We are not sure in what ...read more

    God has given us so much! This sermon challenges us to take action in our world as a sign of God’s kingdom breaking in, and as a response of thankfulness to God.

    When I look at the wonderful variety of fruit and vegetables that we can grow, I find myself saying, “Thank you God!” A few years ago in Portugal I remember looking out to sea and being amazed at the sight of the sun setting over the ocean and saying, “Thank you God”; and I remember the first time ...read more

    The Psalmist does not blame God for their condition. He knows unrepentant sin and wayward living is the culprit. He also knows the tendency of the people to sin. He desires a revival that is powerful enough put away sin from among the people and that will rebuke and restrain their enemy.

    Today I want to preach on A SERMON I NEED TO HEAR. And I think probably everyone here also need to hear.

    LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION? Have you ever wondered why God is so good to lost people when they do not reciprocate in their feelings toward Him?

    Our Christian life and journey is not always smooth and easy. When things get tough we can either give up or continue on. Let’s learn how to move on and not turn back.

    We read in John 21:4, “Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus” (ESV) They failed to recognize Jesus It was indeed an unusual situation on the sea shore that day, as the resurrected Jesus stood on the shore, and his own disciples who ...read more

    Old wife’s tale, "The best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach." Used this principle to drive home some spiritual truths about fatherhood

    FATHER’S DAY SERMON IN A BAG As I wondered how to get through to our fathers this morning, an old wife’s tale came to mind, “The best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” I figured using this same principle might help in driving home some spiritual truths as well.
