Praying In Great Distress

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Apr 9, 2017

When Jesus was preparing for the greatest ordeal any human would ever face--the one who had never sinned to be cut off from his Heavenly Father--he went to God in great desperation. We can and should do the same when we face the inevitable trials of life.

Matthew 26:36-46 Praying in Great Distress Jesus is our example in all things, and today he shows us how to take our anxious thoughts to God. I heard about a guy who was anxious in his driving.

A warning against rejecting the only means of escape.

THIS SO GREAT SALVATION. Hebrews 2:1-4. Perhaps the Hebrew Christians to whom this letter was first sent were a little inclined to go back to ‘the old religion’.

The apostle Paul wrote these words, encouraging believers in Jesus to run the race. Run the race of what? Of the faith.

I’m going to something today that I NEVER do. I’m going to modify a passage of Scripture, and I’m hoping God will forgive me for that because this rendering fits my message this morning. “An excellent (Mother) who can find?

Jochebed, A Great Mother Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Is motherhood all sacrifice and no reward? No, for nothing done in God’s will is without its reward. This just shows us the humor of God, for out of Pharaoh’s treasury is coming the support for the child who will one day set His people free.

Mother had worked hard with her little girl in teaching her a part for a church program. The little girl had gone over it again and again, but when she stood up in front of people her mouth went dry and her mind went blank. She did not know what to say.

Dare We Be Great

Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on Nov 10, 2019

Hypothetically, if you were in a supermarket and someone asked you, “what does it mean to be great and would that be something you desire of yourself?”

Would you stop to think what it means to be great and why this person would be asking, “me of all people?” Would we have to defer until we got home to check the internet or perhaps dust off our old copy of Webster’s…or would we have an immediate answer? Would our answer be any different if we ...read more
