    Vessels Of Honor

     | 52,449 views

    Paul spoke of various vessels within a great house. We are all vessels, belonging to the Master. Each vessel is different, and yet each has potential and is expected to be of use. We are either a vessel of honor or dishonor.

    Vessels of Honor 2 Timothy 2: 19-23 Much like the Lord, Paul was a master of using ordinary illustrations to reveal significant truth. Our text today is yet another example of Paul’s unique and memorable imagery. Knowing the need for committed service, along with the struggle to remain pure and ...read more

    Weaker Vessel

    Contributed by Charles Payne on Jun 12, 2025
     | 96 views

    The husband must honor his wife as a fine, cherished, possibly more fragile vessel—like porcelain vs. iron—not because she is worth less, but because she is worth handling with more care.

    WEAKER VESSEL: PROLOGUE – Blurred Lines, Broken Honor THE STRENGTH TO STEP BACK In 2022, University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas, a biological male who identifies as female, won an NCAA women’s championship.

     | 3,145 views

    Sanctification can be defined as making something or someone holy, setting apart as sacred, purify and be free from sin.

    “Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God; 2 for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that ...read more

    To be used of God is my desire. Is that your desire today? Paul speaking to Timothy about the issue of Christians who were caught up in false teaching and Christians caught up in worldliness, instructs us as believers as to how we can be used of God.

    Usable 2 Timothy 2:19-26 Audrey Mieir wrote in her song, "To Be Used of God": "I've a yearning in my heart that cannot be denied, It's a longing that has never yet been satisfied. I want the world to know the One who loves them so. Like a flame it's burning deep inside. To be used of God, to sing, ...read more

    The Handwriting On The Wall Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 4, 2021
     | 3,194 views

    Belshazzar arrogantly tested the Lord by converting the use of the most holy vessels from God's temple into vessels for the most unholy of purposes--worshiping idols and drunken immorality. He thus discovered a recipe for spiritual disaster. Learn from him how to avoid spiritual disaster!

    This morning, we have the privilege of consider the actual historical and Scriptural event that resulted in our proverbial saying, “And I saw the handwriting on the wall.” Obviously, the biblical story has made such an impression on people of our culture that 2600 hundred years later we still use ...read more

     | 580 views

    God is searching for vessels that He can use for His divine agenda. He is not looking for perfect people but for those who are willing to be purified, set apart, and surrendered to His will.

    BECOMING A VESSEL OF HONOUR By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 2 Timothy 2:21 "If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work."

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,163 views

    God can provide the ability to complete any task, but sometimes sacrifice is required. Whenever we make ourselves and our resources available to God, then His power and grace will flow through our lives and pour into our situation.

    Have you ever experienced a time in your life in which you were going through trials and hard times? Probably everybody has. Perhaps during this time you felt distant from God and spiritually dry. Dwight L. Moody used to say, “The only way to keep a broken vessel full is to keep it always under ...read more

    "Ananias: Vessel Of Courage"

     | 7,232 views

    No one can predict what great things God will accomplish through even your smallest steps of obedience, courage and grace.

    There was, in Damascus, a certain disciple named Ananias. I think he was a young man. Because in Joel 2:28 God said through the prophet that after He poured out His Spirit on all mankind, their old men would dream dreams and their young men would see visions. And here, in Acts 9:10, we’re ...read more
