    How To Be Used Of God Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on May 12, 2021
     | 4,111 views

    Incredibly, God can use our disabilities, as well as our abilities for His glory. A man born blind discovers this and it changes both his life and his destiny? How can God use you in a similar way?

    Last week, in John 8, we saw how Jesus concluded his great and brutal debate with his avowed enemies, the Jewish religious leaders of his generation. He had begun the debate with the statement in the temple that He was the light of the world. He concluded it by making what I believe to be ...read more

    "Lord, teach us to pray." In response, Jesus gives his disciples and us the model prayer, the "Our Father" or "Lord's Prayer." He continues with strong teaching to be persistent, knowing that God loves us more than we love our own children.

    Luke 11:1-13 How to Talk to God “Chaplain, will you teach me how to pray?” I remember that question like it was yesterday, even though it must have been at least a couple of years ago. It came from a Veteran on our inpatient mental health unit. I marveled at the time how simple and yet ...read more

    A message on faith. It is absolutely impossible to please God without faith.

    Sermon May 6, 2018 Lanier Christian Church – David Simpson How to Please God Hebrews 11:6 How can I please God today? More than likely, you did not wake up this morning with that on your mind. For most of us, our first waking thought is: “What do I have to do today?” with the emphasis on “I.” ...read more

    Men in general…and, Christian men in particular…have a need to look good. We need to appear to be in control. But, in truth we are very much like ducks gliding along on a pond…we look serene…and calm…but, underneath we are paddling like mad.

     | 3,968 views

    Psalm 100 shows how seriously worship was taken in Old Testament times. That in itself is enough to tell us we should take worship seriously today. There is a back and forth rhythm to this Psalm.

    Do you need to learn to do something new? How will you learn? You could read a how to book. You could watch an instructional video on the internet. But if you want to know how to worship God you should spend time in Psalm 100 the divinely inspired how to worship guide. Psalm 100 Shout for joy to ...read more

    We all know that we are supposed to walk with God. We know that we are commanded to read the Bible and pray every day. Sadly, many Christians do not have a daily, fruitful, enjoyable, consistent walk with God. Why?

    Introduction: * The Bible is filled with great men and women who walked with God: • Adam walked with God • Enoch walked with God. • Noah walked with God. • Abraham walked with God. • Hannah walked with God. • Jacob walked with God. • Moses walked with God. • Deborah walked with God. • Elijah ...read more

    I am convinced that the most important thing in the life of a Christian is this matter of worshipping the Lord. Why did you come to church today? Be honest. 1. Mom, a few hours of escape. 2.

    In our text this morning we find the psalmist’s answer to his own question – Thank goodness the writer did not leave it up to us to answer. I wonder how would we respond to this question?

    TITLE: HOW TO REPAY GOD SCRIPTURE: PSALMS 116:12-14 As we continue to march through the month of November, our thoughts usually turn to a time of Thanksgiving and the month we celebrate the CHURCH ANNIVERSARY/HOMECOMING. It is a time of reflection on the past and evaluation of the present. We ...read more

    Approaching God is not merely a ritual but a privilege and a relationship. Whether with humility, confidence, prayer, worship, or repentance, each of these approaches allows us to draw near to God in a way that honors Him and opens the door for His grace.

    We can’t live up to our own expectations any more than we can live up to everyone else’s demands. For a Christian, the goal is not to please self, but to please God.

    Alba 10-22-2023 HOW TO PLEASE GOD I Thessalonians 2:1-8 Back in 1975 Rick Nelson recorded a song called “Garden Party.” The song tells about the day he learned the truth: "You can’t please everyone."

    God doesn't work through the best and the brightest. He doesn't work through human wisdom or ability. instead, he works through a surprisingly unqualified group of people--people like you and me.

    If you're like me, a lot of you guys still have some playground memories from when you were on recess in elementary school. Do you remember how you would choose up teams for pick up baseball or basketball games. Generally, two of the "cooler dudes" on the playground would somehow ...read more

    Two men went to the Temple to pray. One is a religious leader. The other is a dishonest, man who has no qualms about ripping people off for his one advantage. Which of these two do you think is going to leave in a right relationship with God!

     | 22,947 views

    "How to Get to God" is a message on the sixth "I Am" statement of Jesus recorded in John 14:5-6. Jesus claims to be the only way to God. It is an exclusive, credible, logical, and generous claim.

    HOW TO GET TO GOD John 14:5-6 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” – John 14:5-6 The Gospel of John ...read more
