    A Prayer Over You

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 29, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,212 views

    Instead of praying that God would just wrap us all up in bubble wrap so we never feel any pain or have any problems, it might help us to look at the prayers that are prayed in the Bible. In Paul’s prayer for the Thessalonian Christians, we can learn a lot

    A Prayer Over You 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 11 With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith. 12 We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus ...read more

    Uncle Sam Teaches Us How To Serve God (Veterans Day)

    You can tell a lot about a nation in the way they treat their heroes

    Illus: For example, respect for the elderly is something today that is missing in our society. We see a lot of rudeness, and much of it is directed toward the elderly. Society has to make adjustments for the elderly: • Many times they can not hear correctly • Many of them can not remember ...read more

    We can see the ‘Father heart’ of God as He encourages Joshua in his new colossal assignment!

    Dad is with you! Joshua 1:9”Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."

    Trust God, Though You Can’t Trace His Ways

    Contributed by Sunitha Justin on Aug 28, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,208 views

    Life is easier if everything could be seen. If we knew what the future holds for us. If we knew God’s timings. When Abraham went to offer Isaac, it would have been easier for Abraham if he knew what was to happen. He probably wouldn’t have spent a sleepless night. But Abraham had to wait in faith.

    Proverbs 3:5 - Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding It is easy to trust something when you can actually see it. If you can see what is unfolding right before your eyes, it is easy to trust God. The disciple Thomas could not believe when the other disciples ...read more

    You Are Not Enough

    Contributed by Brandon Queen on May 12, 2025
     | 191 views

    “Jesus Is Enough” is a heartfelt sermon reminding us that our strength fails, but God’s grace never does. In our weakness, Christ is our sufficiency. Through testimony and Scripture, we discover true freedom by relying fully on Him.

    ENGAGE: INVICTUS by William Ernest Henley Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but ...read more

    If You've Seen Me...

    God wants to touch us. He wants us to see him. He took on flesh and blood to make it possible. Beyond that, God wants to spend eternity with us. That’s what we were made for.

    Do you like family pictures? When Jennifer was born we took thousands of pictures of her. She would smile and we’d snap another picture.

    There is a big difference between taking a Sabbath and being lazy. Lazyness separates us from our own potential, from the love of others, and from the grace of God.

    Are You a Lazybones? Proverbs 6:6-11 February 20, 2005 Twenty three years ago, I was one of seventeen men and women who stood before the Annual Conference and was ordained into the United Methodist ministry.

    Use several scriptures where the word amazed is used to describe peoples response to Jesus.

    Are You amazed? Sometimes I think it is hard to amaze me any more. As a kid, I always watched the magician’s hands. Occasionally, I cause them reaching in a pocket or flipping the platter over before the Audience could see the bowl was glued to the surface or the levitating lady was on a firm ...read more

    We Need You Now!

     | 14,853 views

    We need Isaiah’s passion to ask God to come & make a difference now! Sin infects us & brings us down; but thank God for Jesus, who, through his death we can come to God forgiven.

    Isaiah cries out for God to come and visit the earth with such magnificence, such ferocity, that the mountains quake, and absolutely everything recognises exactly who God is. This is revival. He prays for God to come down and impact himself and those around him (God…who acts on behalf of those who ...read more

    Can You Justify That? Series

    based on 12 ratings
     | 21,553 views

    Justification sounds like a $20 word that nobody would use outside of Church. But surprisingly the words justify and justification are interwoven into our culture and are used in ways that tell us a lot about what God did when He justified us.

    The God You Can Trust

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 29, 2004

     | 5,640 views

    Jesus has one overriding concern in life - our welfare. He had compassion on us, sacrificing himself for our benefit. We take comfort in a God whom we can fully trust.

    To the early Christians, this particular event in the life of Jesus is an important one. It is the only miracle of Jesus that is reported in all 4 Gospels. Apparently there is something significant here that the 4 authors want us to see. After a particularly intense period of ministry, Jesus had ...read more

    2 Timothy 3:10-17 shows us how to serve God.

    Introduction According to John MacArthur, “Paul had three overriding priorities in his life: to know Christ, to defend Christ’s truth (Scripture), and to minister in Christ’s name.” In Paul’s two letters to Timothy, defending Christ’s truth was dominant. In our study last time in 2 Timothy ...read more
