    The Justice Of God Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Feb 5, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 14,093 views

    Have faith in a just God. Justice flows from Him. Wait for the Lord. Delayed judgement is not injustice but the mercy of God. Don't take vengeance. Let go and let God do the judging.

    Why do bad things happen to good people? And why do good things happen to bad people? • When the twin towers of World Trade Centre collapsed and killed nearly 3000 people, where was God? • When the tsunami hit Japan and destroyed thousands of homes, where was God? • When my wife ...read more

    The Day God Came Near

    (1) In prayer, we are engaging an active God who respond. (2) In prayer, do not limit the way God respond to you; and (3) in prayer, God converse with you as His friend.

    [I’ve take most thoughts in this sermon from John White’s book People in Prayer.] Last week we look at one of God’s promise when a person prays: • Heb 11:6 “...anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” • God gives us a promise, that if ...read more

    Soul Searching

    Wouldn’t you agree with me, that it is a great tragedy to sit idle in our little Christian box and let people die in sin and go to Hell without an attempt to rescue them?

    SOUL SEARCHING Gen 18:16-33 16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way. 17 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a ...read more

    ~ POWER POINT IMAGES ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. INQUIRE AT jyeargin@comcast.net ~ . Perhaps, we all can grow tired of praying the same prayer for our loved ones, but we should know that time is running out.

    AS ABRAHAM WAS Introduction: Most of us have been Christians for a long time, and we are thankful for what God has done to save us from sin and the life we used to live. Most of us (unfortunately) have unsaved loved ones and friends we are concerned for, and want to see them come to ...read more

    The Potency of Righteousness

    Abraham, a man of Challenge, Faith and Promise The Potency of Righteousness Reading: Genesis 18:16-22 Last time we were looking at this chapter, we looked at the terrible tendency of human nature to accept the Status Quo, as somehow being the inevitable, unchangeable, the "this is the way it ...read more

    Series on men and women’s prayers in the Bible made a difference and how prayer truly is a difference maker in our lives. I borrowed the outlines from SermonCentral Pro Contributor Tim Byrd.

    Abraham: Persistence in Prayer Genesis 18:16-18:33 Tonight we are going to be starting a series on prayer. For the next few Sundays we are going to be looking at men and women in the Bible who prayed prayers that made a difference and how those prayers should apply to our own prayers lives and as ...read more

    This Is Warfare!

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Mar 4, 2007
    based on 24 ratings
     | 5,196 views

    Because of Sodom and Gomorrah’s’ unrighteousness the Lord didn’t have to share His plan with anyone, but He chooses to allow Abraham His friend to know about His planned destruction for the disobedient!

    This is Warfare! Text: Genesis 18: 22-33 22 Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the LORD. 23 And Abraham came near and said, “Would You also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 24 Suppose there were fifty righteous within the city; would ...read more

    Characteristics of a man God blesses and uses

    Abraham’s life consisted of five characteristics that made him a man that God blessed and used... 1. God’s Kind of Man is COMMITTED (v. 19a) 2. God’s Kind of Man is the CHIEF (v. 19b) 3. God’s Kind of Man is CONSECRATED (v. 19c) 4. God’s Kind of Man is COURAGEOUS (v. 22) 5. God’s Kind of Man ...read more

     | 3,979 views

    From our earliest memories of kneeling by the bed to recite, "Now I lay me down to sleep..." pray has played an important role in our lives. If you’ve forgotten the "who, what, when, where, why and how" of praying, here are some helpful "Be-Attitudes" tha

    From our earliest memories of kneeling by the bed and saying, “Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. If I should live another day, I pray the Lord will guide my way,” followed by the customary “God bless” list: ...read more

    Can I Be Honest To God?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 6, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,113 views

    A look at the invitation (and the need) for us to be bold and honest in our talking with God.

    Is it ok to question God? - The presumption is usually that the answer is “no.” - Just sit down and shut up. Just take it. - When you hear people pray, a lot of the praying is very rote and formulaic. It’s pretty rare that you’ll hear someone really bearing their heart to God. It’s even ...read more

    Pleading For Sodom

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 10, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,419 views

    As Christians, we are responsible to pray for wicked people. Though their actions invoke divine censure, our responsibility is to pray for God’s glory through turning the wicked to righteousness.

    “The men set out from [the oaks of Mamre where Abraham had set up his tent], and they looked down toward Sodom. And Abraham went with them to set them on their way. The Lord said, ‘Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, ...read more

    Lot - The Struggle Of Righteousness

    Contributed by Timothy Darling on Mar 19, 2009
     | 5,798 views

    The stories in Genesis present Lot in a very negative light, but Peter and Abraham thought he was righteous. It is a time for adjusting our interpretation.

    Lot – The struggle of righteousness Genesis 18:16-33 This is a classic passage because it depicts something that we somehow know we should not do, bargaining with God. Abraham, out of concern for his nephew Lot, in an episode that sounds like an auction, begs God to be merciful. Five times, ...read more
