    Got Joy? Series

    Contributed by Steve Bond on Nov 5, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,171 views

    The way of the world seems to focus on pleasing ourselves or pursuing a life of ease. But that brings no lasting satisfaction. God is so much bigger and has so much more for us, no matter our circumstances.

    Introduction Years ago, Robert Fulghum wrote a profound essay. This is how it began. “Most of what I really need to know about how to live…I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sand box at nursery school. These are the things I ...read more

    The Joy Of Forgiveness Series

     | 3,061 views

    Psalm 51 is the great Psalm of forgiveness and mercy. There is in this Psalm the tragic reality of sin and the realization of how sin separates us from God. This is the Psalm that David comes face to face with his sin.

    The Joy of Forgiveness Psalm 51 The spark that started the fire of the first great awakening was a sermon delivered by Jonathan Edwards called, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.” When the Jonathan Edwards preached this sermon, you could almost not call it preaching. He read a manuscript ...read more

    The only way money can buy happiness is when you give it away. How can we do that and why does God think that we need to learn that practice in our lives?

    (This sermon series is based on a book by Randy Alcorn entitled "The Treasure Principle) OPEN: Years ago, there was a comedian named Joan Rivers that said: “People say that money isn’t the key to happiness, but I always figured if you have enough money, you can have a key made.” A ...read more

    Is prayer a first response to you? Or is it a last resort? Do you pray in an attitude of gratitude? Or are you always grumbling? When you pray, do you make sure that God receives the glory, & not you?

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK This morning I would like for us to go back nearly 2,000 years to the city of Rome. It is an exciting time to be in Rome, a metropolis of gladiators, chariots, & palaces. But we’re not going to stop at the coliseum or ...read more

    Breakthrough For Joy

    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,352 views

    Every now and then something happens, after a long struggle, to give us a breakthrough. So with God in Christ, planning from the foundation of time for the cross and achieving a breakthrough victory at the empty tomb. So count nothing impossible.

    Every now and again, in human history, we achieve a breakthrough. Something which we have worked for, hoped for, fought and died for, finally happens. There has been struggle and agony and seemingly endless defeat, but suddenly it all works out. That’s called a breakthrough. You know the feeling. ...read more

    The Joy Of Peace

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Aug 19, 2013
     | 8,228 views

    Paul gives clear instruction to teach us how to be free from worry and wrapped in the blanket of God's peace. If we want wholeness or victory and advance in our spiritual life it begins and is governed by our thought life.

    Intro: David Jeremiah gave a list of how not to have joy and peace. In his book on joy he said I guarantee that if you follow these guidelines you will have unhappiness. 1) Make little things bother you: don’t just let them, make them. 2) Lose your perspective of things, and keep it ...read more

     | 20,437 views

    Joy isn’t ginned up with fun entertainment. Joy doesn’t pass with changing seasons or swinging moods. True, unquenchable joy comes only from God. That’s the kind of joy to be dedicated to.

    1. Intro (6:16) 2. The first way we can be dedicated to striving for joy is with joyful sacrifice. (6:17) 3. The second way we can be dedicated to striving for joy is with joyful service.

    The Joy Of The Harvest Series

    Contributed by Chris Jordan on Sep 15, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 16,724 views

    Jesus said the harvest is great, but the workers are few. Therefore, we must get busy working in the harvest fields for the Lord. God also promises us the reward of increased joy when we begin reaching out in love to the lost.

    THE JOY OF THE HARVEST OPENING QUOTE: “This year marks Ken Foster’s 40th harvest as a farmer, and it’s turning out to be the worst. "This year is miserable," the 63-year-old said yesterday from his family farm near Arborg, Man. a small rural community about 110 kilometres north of Winnipeg. ...read more

    I am glad that God took me out from the secular work and taught me His formula of happiness so that now I could bring joy to thousands out there who are living in perpetual torment, fear and anxiety.

    Psalm 119:143”Trouble and anguish have overtaken me, Yet Your commandments are my delights." Let me tell you something, there is no joy outside Jesus! Everything else is fleeting! Be it an outing, dating, promotion, relationship, money, fame and foreign assignment – whatsoever, ...read more

    We can bring good news to a people who desperately need to know who He is! This is not about church membership, or joining a religion, but about eternity because God has given us the only path to forgiveness through His Son, Jesus.

    Trialful Joy

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 8, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,182 views

    Trials and tests are no fun. James doesn’t tell us to consider it fun but to "consider it all joy." Trials and tests are gut wrenching and drawn out at times, but the one thing that we must know is that God is with us through the whole ordeal.

    This kind of joy is not rooted in the absence of struggle or challenges but springs from a deeper place—a place anchored in God's promises. Today, we will explore this profound joy, its foundation, its vast greatness, and how it can be truly ours.

    1 Peter 1:6-9 Introduction A Kid Anticipating Christmas Use the excitement of a child counting down to Christmas morning.

    How helpless is man though he holds position, power, wealth and fame! Not knowing what is lying ahead, all he has are a loan from his creator God- leaving everything here on this side of the eternity when he departs this world.

    Live today! Never miss today’s blessings. God is a God of present tense. He calls Himself “ I am that I am”. Many of us dream of a better future when we can enjoy the life comfortably without the struggles we have now. It is only a human hope, with no sound base (Proverbs 19:21) . None of us know ...read more

    Jesus shares several pieces of Good News. One is that God is with us in the midst of tragedies and scarcity. Another piece of Good News is that Happiness can be experienced in the midst of the struggles of life. Luke’s sermon on the plain tells us how.

    Luke 6:17-23 “God Loves All the Little Children” INTRODUCTION “Work hard!” “Dream Big!” “The world is your oyster to crack and grab the pearl.” We grow up hearing these phrases and others like them. “America is the land of opportunity,” we are told. “Anyone can become president.” We hear ...read more
