    God Trains My Hands For Battle

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Aug 23, 2018
     | 7,952 views

    Today I am talking about spiritually strong hands: hands that carry the Bible to church, hands that hold the Bible painstakingly for hours and read the Bible, hands that stretch out to heaven and pray, hands that help the servants of God, hands that work hard and supports the work of God etc.

    God trains my hands for battle 2 Samuel 22:35 "He trains my hands for battle, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.” What is the meaning of training? Training is the process of learning the skills that you need for a particular job or activity. I got to go from basics, so that you understand ...read more

    The way is often perilous and hard. We can’t see what lies ahead, feeling helpless and alone. God wants you to trust even when you don’t understand, when the future’s uncertain, and you cannot go on. Trust Him.

    Disclaimer: Source material for this sermon has been gleaned from many different sources. I have attempted to acknowledge these sources whenever possible.

    Going Into Battle

     | 12,412 views

    But the church today isn’t living in power, it isn’t going into to battle and we have a hard time obeying Jesus. Even Christians dislike each other and sometimes even hate each other. Even Christians would rather do worldly things rather than Godly thin

    Going Into Battle ME Not too long ago, when HBO had a free weekend I watched a war movie called Hacksaw Ridge. The movie is about Desmond Doss. Desmond wanted to help with the war, but he would not kill anyone, he wanted to be a medic and help the wounded. The movie is based on a true story. ...read more

    Jude waxes poetic in the verses we will study tonight. We get to see another side of his writing style from the hard-hitting declarative statements and references to historical events, now to six vivid word pictures describing these false teachers who have invaded the local church.

    Sometimes we can be left in hard circumstances so long we start believing that a momentary realization that we are indeed alive is only a sadistic pause until the next car breakdown, pipe breaking, kid-sickness, roof leaking, job layoff or unexpected bill

    THE PASTOR’S POINTS sermon ministry of CEDAR LODGE BAPTIST CHURCH Thomasville, NC January 18, 2004 Paul was very encouraging with his words to the church at Thessalonica. Sometimes, however, even words of grand encouragement can leave you wondering. I have counted for many years upon the ...read more

     | 9,055 views

    This lessons lays open the mistakes and fallacies of some scientific evidence claiming the earth is millions or billions of years old.

    Genesis tells us God created the water covered Earth, Light, Sky, Dry Land and Plants in only three days. Then He made the Sun, Moon, and Stars. The fifth day saw the creation of Fish and Birds. Finally, on the sixth day. God created the Animals and Man. Yet, some say, “Six days? Really? Nobody ...read more

    A new year will shortly be upon us. While none of us is able to predict what we precise situations Christians will face in the coming year, we know from Scripture some general conditions that will confront us.

    “Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel, and not frightened in anything by your opponents.

    If you watch the nonstop news, you might be tempted to despair! David faced a period of discouragement. In Psalm 31 we see David's hard plight but watch as he wrestles to trust & find hope and victory in God. It points us how to do it.

    MY TIMES ARE IN YOUR HANDS Ps. 31:15 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: YOU KNOW YOU’RE IN TEXAS IN JULY WHEN… 1. The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance. 2.

    In amazement, we wonder, "What's the matter with them? Were they hard of hearing? Why didn't they get the message? Why didn't they understand?" I think there are several answers to that question.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2015) A. The ability to make intelligent & correct decisions is one of the great secrets of successful Christian living. ILL. Even if you aren't a sports fan I think you'll appreciate this story about a college ...read more

     | 2,730 views

    I looked at the Feb 2003 S.S.Columbia disaster for 2 thoughts: 1) where do we go when hard times hit and 2) what happens when Christians wipe out and give up in their faith?

    Psalm 46:1-3 – Crash and Burn Yesterday was a sad day for the world. It was not a tragedy to the same scale as September 11, 2001. In fact, even normal plane crashes take more lives than the disaster yesterday. Yet there is something very sad of the explosion of the Space Shuttle Columbia ...read more

    Do you want to be truly wise? Then be worthy like a mom. Work hard like a mom. Live well like a mom, and find honor like a mom. To put it simply: Trust and obey your mother’s God.

    Some time ago, Peg Beukema of Nyack, New York, collected the responses of several elementary school children to some questions about moms. I got a kick out of reading them this last week, and I thought you’d enjoy them too, especially on this Mother’s Day. Why did God make mothers? ...read more

    Evil

     | 4,867 views

    Are we able to defend the faith taught in the Scriptures when a non-believer challenges us on the hard issues? What do we say, how do we respond when asked why the Lord allows evil and the resulting suffering?

    Deuteronomy 30:19-20a “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. “Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold ...read more
