    Contributed by Scott Bayles on Aug 29, 2021
     | 3,061 views

    If God had a Twitter account, what would he tweet? The Bible contains five short, one-chapter books. In the last one, Jude, God speaks to us about defending, developing, and distributing our faith.

    Tweets from God: Jude Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 6/12/2016 A few weeks ago I began a series I’m calling Tweets from God. What we’re doing is going through the five shortest books of the Bible. Each of these books is a single chapter and can be read in less than three ...read more

    Can A Person Know Jesus Intimately?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Sep 6, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,755 views

    I believe that the essential issue in the church today is the need to grow in intimacy with Jesus, the Creator God of all things.

    God desires to have a personal, intimate, loving, dynamic, and powerful relationship with every person on the planet. WHAT IS INTIMACY? To develop an intimate relationship with Jesus, we need to define what that looks like. Some have said that intimacy means "in-to-me-see" and begins ...read more

    Eclipse Of The Heart (March 27, 2022)

     | 2,371 views

    This morning let us strive to look at this story from a different angle as we give weight to the bitterness and indifference of the elder brother. Today we will focus on the hungry heart and the alienated heart.

    ECLIPSE OF THE HEART Text: Luke 15:1 - 3, 11-32 Luke 15: 1 -3, 11- 32  Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him.  (2)  And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, "This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them." ...read more

    Some of these things we are constantly being warned about, such as: • Air Pollution • Noise Pollution • Water Pollution • Smoking • Fast foods Most of these dangers come with some warning.

    God saw a lowly farmer like Gideon as a mighty warrior. When God looks at each of us, He sees a mighty warrior too. However, that warrior doesn’t appear unless we put our trust in the Lord and rely entirely on Him in faith.

    Our text today will come from the New International Version. In our message we’re going to view a story about an ordinary man who had an intense struggle with trusting God, and this man’s name was Gideon. We will learn how when Gideon finally trusted the Lord, that he understood what it meant to ...read more

     | 1,636 views

    This will be the first of two messages dealing with verses 15-23. Paul had the same desire of any good pastor WHO KNOWS THE LORD. That is, HE KNEW THE LORD INTIMATELY and he wanted this congregation to also know the Lord INTIMATELY.

    Have you noticed that one of the hardest things in this life to do is keep good news a secret? Illus: Benjamin said, “Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.” Illus: Walter Winchell said, “I usually get my stuff from people who promised somebody else that they would keep it ...read more

    The Legacy Of King Solomon And King Abijah

     | 2,541 views

    Today we want to talk about King Abijah. Actually King Abijah has several names. He was also called Abia and Abijam.

    I also want to talk about King Solomon, and I want to show you how their lives are tied together. All these names seem a little strange. Speaking of names reminds me about a pregnant woman. Illus: A pregnant woman from Washington, DC got into a car accident and falls into a deep coma. Asleep for ...read more

    Sometimes people will ask us if we like where we live, and we tell them how we feel about where we live.

    Illus: South Carolinians proudly tell people they live in South Carolina, but some of them will tell you they are embarrassed about some of the dumb laws they have on their books that have been passed down from their forefathers. Did you know that in South Carolina: • It is a capital offense to ...read more

    The Book Of Mark #57

    In 1858, the Illinois legislature, using an obscure statute, sent Stephen A. Douglas to the U.S. Senate instead of Abraham Lincoln, although Lincoln had won the popular vote.

    When a sympathetic friend asked Lincoln how he felt, he said he felt, “Like the boy who stubbed his toe: I am too big to cry and too badly hurt to laugh.” (Source unknown) All of us know that feeling. Life is filled with disappointments. Most of us will do anything to keep from having ...read more

    In this sermon I want to look at the Jewish Sabbath. When we start to look at some of the ridiculous things that the Jews taught about the Sabbath, it shocks us

    Illus: This reminds me of a young boy that found himself in the locker room of the local YWCA. When he was spotted, the room burst into screams of horror, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and said “What’s the matter haven’t you ever seen a ...read more

    Years ago the Hallmark Card Company used to advertise extensively on television.

    They would show samples of the beautiful cards they produce and close each commercial with these words for potential buyers to consider, "When you CARE enough to send the VERY BEST!" The message was clear, even to children, that if you really CARED for someone you would be willing to ...read more

     | 1,039 views

    As we look at the life of the apostle Paul in this passage of scripture, we see that he is in jail.

    Illus: A man that was in prison was asked, “What is the worst thing about prison?” He said, “The worst thing about prison is that you are here and everybody that you love and care for are out there!” Paul knew exactly what this man was talking about. He was in prison and those that he loved and ...read more

    When you look at churches, you will see that there is a vast difference between them.

    One thing you will find common in most churches it that there is one basic thing missing. WHAT IS MISSING? Illus: Let me explain what is missing by telling you a story of a young boy who went to spend the week with his grandfather on the farm. • While walking around he noticed the chickens.

    Introduction: This passage of scripture that I will be preaching from is surrounded by situations that seem to be impossible to deal with.

    And they are impossible as for as man is concerned. For example, in Mark chapters 4 and 5, we read of situations that only the Lord Jesus could deal with. • In Mark 4:38, Jesus and His disciples were sailing on the Sea of Galilee when a tremendous storm overwhelmed their boat. The storm was so ...read more
