Giving God Permission

Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 8, 2021

God wanted to spare Israel, but couldn't because there was no intercessor. God wants to save us, heal us, direct our lives, our work, etc., but won't force His will on us against our wills. If we want His life, we must surrender our lives.

GIVING GOD PERMISSION Ezek. 22:30 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. There was a preacher who had a little three-year-old daughter named Tori. She’d just become a Christian and learned that Jesus was in her heart. 2. One day she was with her mother at a shopping mall when a woman policeman came running ...read more

"What Was Great About David's Great Sin?"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Feb 16, 2004

You may have thought that David’s great sin was when he committed adultery with Bathsheba? It is true that the innocent blood of Uriah and the baby were upon his hands, but in today’s text, seventy thousand people in Israel died because of his sin... Why

And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly." You may have thought that David’s great sin was when ...read more

Part 16 - Matthew 10:21-42 - Got To Get A Message To You. Hold On, Hold On! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 22, 2010

Matthew 10:23 says "I tell you the truth, the Son of Man will return before you have reached all the towns of Israel." Reminds me of that song by the Bee Gees in 1968 "I've Gotta Get a Message to You. Hold on! Hold on!"

Part 16 - Matthew 10:21-42 - GOT TO GET A MESSAGE TO YOU. HOLD ON, HOLD ON!

Taking Life & God Seriously

Contributed by Thomas Bartlett on Jan 2, 2021

The nation of Israel watched God provide care for them and release from slavery yet God has to exhort them not to forget Him. How could they forget God after all He'd done? Well, in the same ways we forget Him too.

Taking Life & God Seriously Steele Creek Church Eastfield Dr. Tom Bartlett, 1-03-21 OUTLINE Deuteronomy 6:12 (NIV) “Be careful that you do not forget the LORD…” IN WHAT WAYS DID ISRAEL FORGET THE LORD?

Half-Baked Cake Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 17, 2022

Israel is a cake half baked, burned on one side and raw on the other. Actually, a cake like that would be totally useless. The good news God wants to restore. Put your faith in Christ. Turn from the half-baked lifestyle Live fully committed to Jesus Christ.

A cake would not be very useful to you if it were burned on the bottom and raw and the top. Actually, a cake like that would be totally useless. Israel was a half-consecrated people. They were useless to God. They were burning with lust and cold toward God. Israel is a cake half baked. Often God ...read more

God's Servant, The Justice-Bringer (Isaiah 42:1-9) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 28, 2024

God commissions and empowers his servant to produce "justice" for the nations. "Justice" here= "God's desired way of life." It's done, through gentle, careful teaching. The servant is Israel, Jesus, and the church.

This is going to be a pretty ambitious sermon today, so let's dive right in. Isaiah 42:1: (1) LOOK! My servant, [Isaiah 41:8, 9; 34:10; 44:1, 2; 45:4], I am upholding him, [Isaiah 41:10] my chosen one [Isaiah 41:8, 9; 43:10; 44:1, 2; 45:4], my soul/inner being has delighted in [or: ...read more

The Week That Changed The World: The Day Jesus Cleaned House Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 3, 2021

The Lord Jesus arrived in Jerusalem hailed by the Jews as the Davidic king who would restore Israel. He arrived not for that purpose, but to fulfill Isaiah's prophecy of the Suffering Servant who restored all of HIs people back to God. The first step was to restore His house.

The final week of Jesus' public ministry had started with His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, being hailed as the rightful heir of David and the One who would finally drive out the hated Roman Gentile oppressors and restore the nation of Israel back to its former glory, or so the people ...read more

Part 1: The Seriousness Of Disobeying God Series

Contributed by Marlou Javier on Jul 13, 2021

The book shows a repeated four step cycle that takes place seven times in the book. That is, 1. REBELLION. Falling into sin, idolatry, and apostasy. 2. RETRIBUTION. God’s punishment. 3. REPENTANCE. Israel cries for help. 4. RESCUE. God delivers via a judge.

The book of Judges starts with “After the death of Joshua…” - There were 15 judges in all. Eli and Samuel were the last. THE WORD “JUDGE.” - “judge," means "bringer of justice." - These "judges" were like a cross-mixture between a mayor, a marshal, a prophet, and a ...read more

When There Is No One To Stand In The Gap Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 18, 2024

God makes a stunning statement here: there is no one left to stand in the gap on behalf of Israel. What does this passage tell us about the specific shortcomings of the people of God and the prophets of God in that day? And can this text encourage us today to stand strong amid a dark hour?

OFF-TRACK: The American church is far from what we should be. - I think this is largely beyond dispute, so I won’t belabor the point. - Let me simply share one proof that I think is instructive. - When you look at the early chapters of Acts, there are many people who are coming to know Jesus.
