    "I Never Knew You!" By Dr. Winson Butler

    Contributed by Winson Butler on Feb 1, 2005
    based on 11 ratings
     | 2,267 views

    "Control your generosity when it comes to a chronic borrower." is good advice to follow. Something else too wouldn’t hurt if others would listen to it & it concerns eternity. Let’s examine it together!

    Introduction I’ve heard many say, "It’s the harshest words ever spoken by Jesus Himself." Maybe, but true none the less! In the closing remarks of His sermon on the Mount, Jesus pointedly said, "One day, some of you standing here will hear the very words, I never knew YOU come from God’s own ...read more

    Some Ask, "Why Does God Allow Evil And Suffering In The World?"

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Dec 28, 2002
    based on 116 ratings
     | 15,301 views

    God is so great that nothing happens without His permission, and in that permission His ultimate plan unfolds. In His plan He is able to use for good what man intends for evil. God is in control

    Illustration:As C.S. Lewis wrote, "The greatest evil is not done in those sordid ’dens of crime’ that Dickens loved to paint...it is conceived and...moved, seconded, carried, and minuted...in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and ...read more

    In the book of Acts we see the beginning movement of God’s chariot of the Gospel called the Church. In the first chapter of Acts we see the church in training, transition, and ultimately under the control of the Holy Spirit.

     | 60,089 views

    The most powerful force you and I control is our FOCUS, which has the power to determine if we see ourselves as oppressed and powerless…or if we see ourselves connected to the power of God.

    The Power of Focus Series: BREAKOUT – God on the Move through the Book of Acts Brad Bailey – June 3, 2012 Intro Do you know what the most powerful force you control is? The most powerful force you and I control is our FOCUS. Our focus determines everything. It has the power to define ...read more

    Really - A King?

    Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Dec 1, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,015 views

    We are culturally conditioned to believe in our own autonomy: my rights, my choices, me as the boss of myself, me in control of what I want to do, so is Jesus really our King?

    Really – A King? various Scriptures November 20, 2011 Intro: In the church year, today is the last Sunday. Christian new year starts next week, with the first week of Advent, and the annual rhythm of worship begins anew. About a hundred years ago, in response to a growing individualism ...read more

    Living a life of faith. What do I mean when I say living a life of faith? Living by faith is daily taking serious the reality that we are God’s children and He is in control.

    Introduction: Living a life of faith. What do I mean when I say living a life of faith? Living by faith is daily taking serious the reality that we are God’s children and He is in control.

    The Dark Side Of Christmas

     | 5,836 views

    Herod was among the first few to hear the Christmas message, but he was too bent on doing his own will, too wrapped up in himself, and too caught up by power and control, to see the light.

    Matthew reminds us that Jesus did not enter the world with sparkling lights and soothing carols. • Jesus along with his family begins his life as a refugee in need of asylum. • King Herod was part of the backdrop of this first Christmas play, together with the singing angels, the happy shepherds ...read more

    Hanging In There Before Impossibilties Series

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Oct 8, 2007
    based on 13 ratings
     | 14,749 views

    God specializes in impossible things. When we encounter those things over which we have no control, who better to turn to than the God of impossibilities, because nothing is too impossible for God.

    Jeremiah 32:17, 27; Luke 1:37; 18:27 Robert Schuller in his book, Move Ahead with Possibility Thinking begins the book with these questions: Are you limping when you could be walking strong; whimpering when you could be whistling; crying when you could be laughing? Are you being defeated by your ...read more

    If Jesus Isn't In Church You Go Home With Your Demons

    Contributed by Aaron Holbrough on Feb 12, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,192 views

    We need to domesticate the word Demon to imply anything that desires to negatively control and influence us. Once we do that, so much of what Jesus does become incredibly applicable to us.

    Did you happen to bring a demon to church on Sunday or maybe just sit beside one? Hard to tell isn’t it, Botox is really screwing up my ability to spot them in a crowd. In Luke 4:31 we find Jesus is teaching in a Synagogue, and at some point a man interrupts and an evil spirit speaks to ...read more

    Countdown To War Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 25, 2011
     | 4,513 views

    The four horsemen - war, slaughter, famine, death and pestilence - have accompanied humanity since the dawn of time; they remind us of our sin, and God's judgment, and his ultimate control over all of history.

    When I mapped out this year’s preaching schedule I did not - repeat NOT - know that war with Iraq would begin the week the seals on the scroll detailing the fate of the world would be opened and the four horsemen let loose. And I’m not egotistical enough to think that God arranged the ...read more

    When Hearts Come Together

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Nov 12, 2014
     | 5,152 views

    We have real challenges in life that we think we can control. The truth is that we are dependent on God. When our hearts come together with his we find the sanctuary we need.

    1. When Hearts Come Together In November 2004, two North Carolina buddies, Dale Beatty and John Gallina, were wounded when their vehicle hit an anti-tank mine in Iraq. John received severe head and back injuries. Dale lost both legs below the knee. Neither man let their injuries stop them. ...read more
