    Contributed by C Jordan on Jul 17, 2007
    based on 10 ratings
     | 4,903 views

    We all get discouraged and feel like quitting – we lose our motivation, confidence and optimism. I have good news for you this morning: discouragement can be defeated!

    DEFEATING DISCOURAGEMENT JOKE: When our lawn mower broke and wouldn’t run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the truck, the car, playing golf - always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a ...read more

    God spoke of the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost at work in the life of Mary to bring about the birth of the Son of God. Get in the shadows of God and see what great thing could happen.

    based on 26 ratings
     | 17,037 views

    Just because things may be difficult for you does not mean that it is "not" the will of God for you to stay put. Too many leave the local church when it starts getting tough.

    Boards & Broken Pieces Acts 27:44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on [broken pieces] of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land. Paul has really been doing some preaching… Cities are being stirred up. Devil is stirred up. Paul becomes a prisoner… appears ...read more

    Before Jesus ascends, the disciples get a crash course on what is needed to carry on the ministry of Jesus to which they have been called--and they just thought they were going fishing.

    Sometimes, in order for God to get our attention and turn us back to Him, He must take us to the Valley of Trouble before we can find the Door of Hope.

    Satan's Nearly Perfect Plan

     | 7,003 views

    The temptations that Jesus faced in the wilderness present a pattern that Satan has used since the creation of man. He had a nearly perfect plan to get even with God, but it failed at Calvary.

    Satan’s Nearly Perfect Plan By Pastor Jim May There’s an old saying that goes like this: “Even the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.” Things just don’t always work out the way we plan them to. Satan’s plan to overcome man was perfect. He knew that if he could just get Adam to ...read more

    It is odd when you get to thinking about the Philistines and Samson. They knew his weakness but did not know what gave him great strength. His weakness of course was women.

    The weak strong man 10. Judges 16:4-21. 07/20/05 These last two studies in the life of Samson are dark scenes and a great warning of the danger in walking after the lust of the flesh. Samson’s disregard of the call of God in his life has led him down the street of dead end and no turning back. ...read more

     | 4,911 views

    When things get difficult, how do you react? Keeping a cool head is relatively easy whenever things are going smoothly. But what happens when the unexpected occurs?

    How would you react? Mark 14:10-11, 27-31, 43-47, 66-72 10. Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went off to the chief priests in order to betray Him to them. 11.
