     | 8,622 views

    Fourth in a series on Elisha. Often, God invites us to proclaim WHAT he will do, even if we have no idea HOW he will accomplish it. God's intervention in history ultimately causes a ripple of good effects for His people.

    Not everybody who is lost wants to be found, and when God finds us, we often rebel - at first - against being brought home.

    Have any of you ever tried to put an injured cat into a carrying case to take it to the vet? How many of you got scratched for your pains? It doesn’t seem quite fair, does it?

    A proclamation of God's incredible gift of love and the invitation to unwrap it.

    [Title Slide] One of the greatest stories I have ever come across is the story of the father and son Dick and Rick Hoyt. Rick, was born in 1962 with severe cerebral palsy and would be unable to walk or care for himself. It was a trying time for the family. At the age of 15 he communicated to his ...read more

    Illustrations for Biblical Preaching Prodigal Son One of the most beautiful stories of the Scriptures is that of the prodigal son, the younger son who left home, got into deep difficulty, wasted his life in riotous living, and ended up in the pigpen.

    Caution: Restoring New Testament Evangelism Series

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 15, 2014
     | 6,869 views

    This lesson examines what the Bible means when it talks about evangelism and then compares this to what we see being called "evangelism" today. Have we redefined evangelism to ease our consciences?

    Introduction Our first lesson was a reminder of our mission. We have been given the green light to evangelize by the Lord, and this mission was given to each and every Christian, not just a select few. Each one of us are called by God to “love our neighbor as ourselves” and to have an ...read more

     | 8,203 views

    The disciples responded immediately to Jesus’ invitation. They left everything to follow. And heaven was their final destination.

    “How to Respond When Jesus Calls” 3/25/2007 Jesus was walking along the shore of the lake. I’m told it was much like Walker Lake, near Hawthorne, Nevada, where I once pastured. Kind of a treeless lake in the desert. But I imagine it could have been something like the north shore of Lake ...read more

     | 8,218 views

    We like to be invited to things. It makes us feel good to be on the guest list. It tells you the person cares and wants you to be a part of what they're doing. Jesus gave an invitation in Matt. 11:28-30. Let's take a look at this invitation and see what we can learn.

    COME TO ME Matt. 11:28-30 We like to be invited to things. Depending on the event, we might get a fancy, overpriced invitation in the mail, requesting our presence at such-and-such. It makes us feel good to be on the guest list. Sometimes we don't want to go to the thing we're invited to ...read more

     | 7,585 views

    Large crowds followed Jesus, coming where He was. He could've waited on them to come to Him, but often He went out, seeking them. Jesus was often found among those society rejected. We too must be willing to go where they are, seeking to reach them.

    Found among Sinners Mark 2: 13-17 Following a season of ministry around the region of Galilee, Jesus had returned to Capernaum. His return created quite a stir, as multitudes arrived at Peter’s house, hoping to see Jesus. The palsied man was miraculously healed, and Jesus made a statement that ...read more

    Only Jesus gives the rest we long for and the redemption we need.

    Palm Sunday is a day of paradox. Crowds shout “Hosanna!” but miss the King they’re praising. Palm branches wave in celebration of the freedom they hoped Jesus would bring, but He rides in on a donkey, not a war horse. The people longed for deliverance from Rome, but Jesus came to deliver their ...read more

     | 3,504 views

    An invitation to expect greater things from God.

    - This passage can be taken in at least two ways. One is the proximate interpretation, which involves the return of Israel to their land. A second also concerns Israel’s return to their land, but in a longer timeframe. A third is that the promises here for Israel believing the great promises of ...read more
