    Return To Me

    Contributed by Darrell Stetler Ii on Aug 5, 2004
    based on 44 ratings
     | 12,936 views

    America has strayed so far -- is there hope? I’ve fallen -- is there hope? Look at Jeremiah’s picture of a God who says, "No matter what you’ve done. . . return to me!" *HANDOUT INCLUDED*

    The word “return” and its derivatives occurs 112 times in the book of Jeremiah. The picture of God we get is that of a God who is following his chosen people to the very “brink of the falls”, so to speak, saying, “IT DOESN”T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!” <ILLUS> Niagara falls, the “point of no ...read more

     | 2,835 views

    No one likes being called a "fool." Yet, the Bible says a man who says there is no God, well, get ready to change your name. Let’s examine more what the Bible says about the matter!

    Introduction How many times have you heard someone say, "She’d be a fool to take him back." or "You’re a bigger fool than I thought you were." or "Boy was I a fool to believe that." Regardless of it’s use, it leaves a strong taste in all of our mouths and rightly so! It’s not the worst but it’s ...read more

    The Parable of the Pounds - We are each entrusted with the weighty matter of carrying the gospel. But how well are we bearing the burden God has placed in our pack? Link included to formatted text, audio, and PowerPoint Template.

    How to Gain a Few Pounds Luke 19:11-27 http://gbcdecatur.org/sermons/GainFewPounds.html “I don’t need anyone telling me how to do that…I’ve got it mastered!” The parable of the pounds reminds us of the parable of the talents in Mt. 25, which we’ll study in a couple of weeks.

    Exploding Manhole Covers Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 31, 2003
    based on 7 ratings
     | 3,941 views

    A series of exploding manhole covers in Washington is compared with the series of unexpected and disruptive events in Paul’s life. Surviving becomes a matter of one’s vision of where we have come from and where we are going.

    It all started in Georgetown. On M Street, in broad daylight, a manhole cover suddenly exploded into the air, flying six feet straight up and landing with a heavy clatter. There were no injuries, but there were fiery flames, an acrid smell, cars dodging one another, pedestrians pumping ...read more

    Marriage And Singleness - 2 Gifts From God Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jun 24, 2003
    based on 71 ratings
     | 11,932 views

    Marriage or singleness, celibacy or asceticism. The issue, whatever state we happen to be in, is this: "unhindered devotion to the Lord." Married or single, this is what matters: is your mind set on the things of the Lord? Are your energies directed to se

    You can almost imagine Paul, sitting at his desk, with the letter that the Corinthians have sent him in his hand, as he dictates his reply. He’s been through the introductory remarks and now he comes to the questions they’ve put to him. And again we discover just how contemporary some of their ...read more

    Be Like A Child

    based on 10 ratings
     | 14,703 views

    Grow up and be like a child. Look up always to the Father for security and help. Acknowledge His greatness and our need of Him. Never grow beyond our dependence on God, no matter how successful we become.

    Matt 18:1-4, Mark 10:14-16 Jesus says we are to receive the Kingdom of God like a little child. He was saying this to reprimand the disciples. He was correcting their wrong thinking. The disciples thought that power and authority would be the things that mattered most in God’s kingdom. They ...read more

    Life is an ever changing mix of good times, and bad times, and in the mix we take our eyes off of God. This series will show you how to keep our eyes on God no matter what is going on.

    What to Do When… part 2 “When things go wrong” Story – the summer before my sophomore year we had a really big summer camp planned up in the mountains of Tennessee. We were supposed to have repelling, mountain climbing, mountain bike riding, nature walks, and a lot of other cool things. I had ...read more

    Simplicity Of The Gospel

    based on 74 ratings
     | 10,478 views

    Paul desired to know nothing of the Corinthians but Jesus Christ and Him crucified. The most important question we can ask is what will you do with the message of the gospel? Nothing else matters unless this question is answered correctly.

    SIMPLICITY OF THE GOSPEL By Pastor Jim May 1 Corinthians 2:1-5, "And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with ...read more

    based on 54 ratings
     | 4,088 views

    God is abundantly able to help those who obey Him and put their trust in Him. This message gives hope to those who are facing the trial of life. No matter how big the trial, God is bigger than it all.

    How Big is God? (Matthew 19:26) But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. (KJV) I. God is bigger than your whale <problems of your own making> Jonah was the cause of his own problem. If he had only obeyed God in the first place ...read more

     | 5,928 views

    Some people draw a line and when you cross that line that are finished with you. No matter how much they prayed for you to change, they now don’t accept the change since it didn’t happen in their time frame.

    Buried Too Soon! John 11:1-44 Do you have anyone in your life that you are praying for? Is it someone that needs a major change? · Are they lost? · Are they an alcoholic? · Are they just in need of a transformation? And they are so bad off that you are praying for them night and day.

     | 3,195 views

    Lucy’s opening of the wardrobe into a new world can symbolize the opportunity for our hearts to connect with God. No matter what our situation, trial, or need, God is only a blink away. Open the door . . . see the light.

    Title: “Believing the Incredible” Is it possible that someone can open a door and enter into a new world? The truth about our existence is that there is another world near us. And this world is not so visible, but it is the one that we’ve always hoped for, where life-purpose and adventure are ...read more

     | 29,773 views

    Some "musts" for the Christian when it comes to the matter of prayer. 1- We must find God’s place 2- We must listen to God’s Word 3- We must respond to God’s will

    INTRO. - ILL.- Shortly after the US Supreme Court outlawed prayer in public schools, a pupil in class heard her teacher sneeze and said, "God bless you." The teacher said, "Cut that out or we’ll both be in trouble." ILL.- One person said, "Now that there’s no more praying in schools, kids will ...read more

    What God is saying about prayer and praying in this text. 1- Prayer is a membership-matter 2- Prayer is a power-producer 3- Prayer is an eye-opener 4- Prayer is a filler-upper 5- Prayer is a glory-getter

    INTRO.- ILL.- Someone said: A friend of mine took his small son with him to town one day to run some errands. When lunch time arrived, the two of them went to a familiar diner for a sandwich.

     | 29,233 views

    When we think of ministry, what do we think of? Preaching? Teaching? Evangelists? Ministry is much more than any of that. Ministry is the job of every Christian no matter where they are or what they do for a living.
