    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 12, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,133 views

    When the child of God is hard-pressed by the wicked, a cry escapes the lips, "How Long?" Let the Christian know that God knows their trials, and that He shall, by His mighty hand, reveal His mercy and grace in His time.

    “When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. They cried out with a loud voice, ‘O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the ...read more

    Not What We Expected

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jul 9, 2018
     | 6,725 views

    Opposition to the Good News of Jesus Christ is nothing new. The first 12 pastors were instructed how to deal with it. Think long and hard how you respond to the message of the Good News as there are consequences depending on your reaction.

    Not What We Expected Mark 6:1-13 Jesus said that; ““A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.” “He was amazed at their lack of faith.” Mark 6:4 Sometimes people think they know you. They think they know your family and your family ...read more

    You Can Remove Trash, Bugs & Weeds But How About Darkness?

    Contributed by Doug Koehler on Mar 20, 2009
    based on 26 ratings
     | 26,641 views

    Children often want darkness removed because they fear what they cannot see. For adults the darkness is more of a friend. Jesus is the remover of darkness but the light of the world is still waiting for many to see it. Sometimes it is hard even for Christ

    Open up the yellow pages and you can find a ton of listings that will remove pretty much whatever you want removed. There are ads for chimney sweeps to remove built up grime. There are people willing and able to remove insects, weeds, garbage, wallpaper, old fixtures, homes, cars and even bad ...read more

    Temporal Blessings Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Feb 1, 2018
     | 7,316 views

    Temporal blessings are gift from God, he enables to earn, enjoy. Never be arrogant but be humble. God never hates the rich but the pride and the ungrateful. God adds many blessings to the smart, hard working people. Poverty is not a curse.

    Blessings of the Living God 1 Tim 6:17 Introduction: Paul talks about the salvation, world and other so many problems faced in the Church. Finally, he touched the need of carefulness on the temporal blessings and its perils. No temporal duties can overpower the heavenly duties. Think that many ...read more

    Why Did Jesus Come To This Earth And A Die As A Common Criminal?

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Dec 20, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,307 views

    Why did Jesus come to this earth as a tiny baby, a die as a common criminal. What hope do we have for the future knowing that God himself was innocently crucified. This sermon is subtly hard hitting, giving hope for the future.

    Note: The hymns "The sermon King" and "I cannot tell" to the tune Danny Boy are perfect for the sermon. Introduction One of the greatest yet strangest of stories in the bible is that of almighty God coming into this world and living as we do. ... And there is an even stranger story is that he did ...read more

    Brotherly love demands some things from us. Are we up to the task?

    Have You Heard God's Calling? Have You Answered?

    Contributed by Rev Ken Shedenhelm on Sep 13, 2013
     | 6,237 views

    God still appears to us, and He still calls us in many ways. While it is hard to hear Him calling above the din of the world's chatter, He is calling, and He is visible for those who have eyes to see.

    In the earliest church, there wasn't a single member who had a financial need for long because, whenever a need arose, the wealthier members sold a piece of their land and gave the proceeds to the church. This ministry of grace (Acts 4) appears to have been commonplace... but the only man mentioned ...read more

    God does not see as man sees. He placed high premium on broken things. He prefers to deal and bless only things and people that are broken. However, when compared to man, the gap is huge. Man prefers things that are not broken and places value on such. On

    BROKENNESS – WHAT GOD DESIRE IN HIS CHILDREN Text: Psa.34:18, 51:17, Introduction: God placed high value on broken things.

     | 2,833 views

    The wisdom of this world is foolishness to God, therefore He has used the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, the weak things to confound the mighty ones and has made things disregarded and looked down upon important and well positioned. Boast of God and no one else

    Peace comes hard for some at Christmas. We must be open to what God wants to give, we must get down to what God wants us to be doing, and we must find meaning in our ordinary pursuits.

    National Baptist Memorial Church, Washington, DC, Dec. 19, 2004 These are stressful days. There is too much going on. Too much work, too much to think about, too many demands. Stressful. We’d really like some peace, wouldn’t we? Just a moment or two of quiet – ...read more

    Contrary to the saying, "The only things guaranteed in life are death and taxes"......

    Death and Taxes ILLUS: If you go back to 1700 and all the way up through to the year 2100, a day like today will only happen 12 times. Oh, I’m not talking about Easter. What is unusual about today is that Easter and “Tax Day” fall on the same day. On the same day we celebrate the ...read more
