    The Witness Of Scriptures Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jun 9, 2008
    based on 54 ratings
     | 31,553 views

    Openness to God precedes the reception of Scripture truth. We are not to guide Scriptures, they are to guide us...to God. We are not to make Scriptures say what we think or want them to say, but let them say what God desires to reveal.

    JOHN 5: 39-47 THE WITNESS OF THE SCRIPTURES [Luke 24: 25-27, 44-49 / Luke 16: 19-31] The previous passage tried to teach us that openness to belief must precede the reception of truth. Now John affirms that openness to God precedes the reception ...read more

    Faith comes to most of us some packaged form. In the lives of many Christians it is never unpacked - it remains in the box.

    I have had this idea for a sermon illustration rattling around in my brain. Today seemed like the perfect day to use it. A few weeks ago now I referenced the beginnings of this illustration. It actually began with new siding and windows on our home. That meant a new deck. The old one was an ...read more

    Jesus Makes Me Happy

    Contributed by Brien Sims on Jun 23, 2008
     | 6,641 views

    Be content and happy with what you have in Christ. You can be genuinely happy!

    I have a question for you today. Are you really happy? I mean are you actually truly and honestly happy with your life. Maybe I should define the term happiness. Happiness is not the feeling you get when you get something. For instance, how many of you did the after thanksgiving shopping day? You ...read more

    Jacob, Pt. 2

    THE END DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS (GENESIS 27:1-46) In Italy, a man went to a priest and confessed. “Forgive me, Father,” he said, sobbing. “During World War II, I hid a refugee in my attic.” “Well,” the priest replied, “That’s not a sin.” “But,” the man admitted, “I made him pay rent.” “That ...read more

    Seeing A New Thing

    based on 7 ratings
     | 13,244 views

    Some of us are just not observant and do not see what God is doing. We let fear paralyze us, we do not see what an international church means, and we need to bear a testimony of excitement about all that God is doing in this church.

    Many of you know that I recently spent a week in Kentucky and Indiana doing a family history search. My companion for that week in archives rooms and on cemetery grounds was my younger brother, who is a professor at Southwestern Baptist Seminary in Texas. We planned for that particular week, as ...read more

    Who Is Jesus To You?

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Dec 26, 2007
    based on 50 ratings
     | 14,299 views

    Is Jesus just a baby in a manger scene that’s taken out once a year? Is He there to give you health, wealth and prosperity? Is He some type of fire insurance? This passage answers those questions about who Jesus really is.

    1. Jesus’ relationship to His creation (15-17) 2. Jesus’ relationship to His church (18-19) 3. Jesus’ relationship to His children (20-23) I’m sure many of us have heard the story about the little girl who was coloring a picture in her Sunday School class. It was a pretty picture, but the teacher ...read more

    Friend of Sinners, Pt. 6

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,128 views

    Authority comes from God and applies to the way we regard our government and others who are in positions of authority.

    Where do citizenship and Christianity meet? Millions have struggled with this question. A vocal minority in our nation seems bent on convincing us that they never should meet – that a person’s religious convictions shouldn’t interfere with his civil life. Should the President talk about his ...read more

     | 27,071 views

    Giving sacrificially, in light of God’s grace, is a great reflection of Who God is and accomplishes more than we can realize at the time

    It’d been a hard winter in the Appalachian Mountains. Snow had piled up deeper and deeper, it turned bitter cold, rivers froze, people were suffering. The Red Cross used helicopters to fly in supplies. One crew had been working day after day--long hours. They were on their way home late in the ...read more

    God is angry with the children of Israel, but, as he does several times in this book, Moses pleads with the Lord on behalf of the people.

    Maybe you’ve heard the story about a pastor who woke up from his after-dinner nap one late February Sunday in no mood at all to preach in that evening service. When he stepped out onto his porch his desire to preach lessened even more as he felt the nice warm air that had been missing from his ...read more
