    The Songs Of Ascent – Part 9 – Psalm 127 – Without The Lord All Labour Is In Vain – And A Look At The Evil Of Solomon Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 19, 2023
     | 1,538 views

    The Lord must build the house (be the foundation for your life). There is no other foundation and it is vain to think otherwise. The Psalm says children are a gift from the Lord. We look at the evil of Solomon who was an idolater, but wrote this Psalm early in his life.

    THE SONGS OF ASCENT – PART 9 – PSALM 127 – WITHOUT THE LORD ALL LABOUR IS IN VAIN – AND A LOOK AT THE EVIL OF SOLOMON PSALM 127 A SONG OF ASCENTS, OF SOLOMON [A]. SADLY WE WILL CONSIDER SOLOMON WHO WROTE THE PSALM The first things we note here is that this Psalm was penned by Solomon. This ...read more

    The principle in this is that God is the God of a second chance. God had every right to leave Jonah in the belly of that fish. But isn’t it wonderful God is the God of a second chance?

    Forty days that changed a life 5. Jonah 3:1-10 06/26/05 We are continuing our study of forty days that changed a life. This time, we want to look at forty days that changed an entire city. This story comes from the book of Jonah and in the life of Jonah. Again as the rest of the stories we have ...read more

    They say as you go through life, it isn’t as important what you know as it is whom you know. Well, they’re close to being right...

    They say that as you go through life it isn’t as important what you know as whom you know. This morning, I want to suggest this is true, but I’ll go even one better. It’s not even so much who you know, but the one who knows you. Even in a competitive, knowledge-based industry like computers – ...read more

    The House Guest

    based on 25 ratings
     | 5,339 views

    Isn’t it time that we come down, humble ourselves before Jesus, and accept his offer to become our house guest like Zaccheus did?

    THE HOUSE GUEST Luke 19:1-10 There was a man in the city of Jericho that must have been a lonely man. He wasn’t popular at all, in fact most of those who knew him, and nearly everyone in the city did, would have nothing to do with him. He was looked upon as a traitor to his fellowmen and as a ...read more

    Loving Our Neighbor

    Loving neighbor isn’t easy. So, Jesus gives us four ways we show love for our neighbor in his story of the Good Samaritan.

    25One day an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus by asking him this question: “Teacher, what must I do to receive eternal life?” 26Jesus replied, “What does the law of Moses say? How do you read it?” 27The man answered, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your ...read more

    Faith: What It Ain't—what It Is

     | 2,956 views

    This passage in Hebrews gives us the ingredients, implications and illustrations of faith. By defining what faith isn’t, we can learn what true faith is.

    The eleventh chapter of Hebrews is one of the best known of the great chapters of the Bible. It has been called the “Westminster Abby of Scripture” because the heroes of faith are enshrined here. Perhaps that is a misnomer, for some people who have been to Westminster Abby and have said it seemed ...read more

    An Unfamiliar Kingdom

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Jul 27, 2014
     | 4,595 views

    While we all have preconceptions about what the kingdom of heaven is and isn't, Jesus uses parables to force us to rethink what the kingdom is.

    What is it that the Gospel message presents? I don’t simply mean today’s Gospel lesson, but the capital-G “Gospel.” The Gospel is not merely, “Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.” The proper name for them is the Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The ...read more

    Christmas Climax Series

    based on 9 ratings
     | 7,767 views

    Even though Christmas is over for 2008, Christmas isn’t. Because Christmas is really just building to its final climax that will never disappoint and will never end.

    One thing struck me this Christmas that strikes me every Christmas—and that’s how quickly it’s all over. You spend all that time decorating. You spend all that time shopping and getting ready. And then it’s over. Before we sat down for Christmas dinner, Mom said, “OK, we’re going to linger over ...read more

    Part 3 in series The Shape of Things to Come. The question isn’t whether we make commitments, it’s what kind of commitments we make.

    Introduction to Rhythm The Shape of Things to Come, prt. 3 Wildwind Community Church David Flowers September 20, 2008 You will sometimes hear about churches that pride themselves on being “New Testament churches.” I’m not against using that title, necessarily, but there is a minor problem with ...read more

     | 6,457 views

    Isn’t it an oxymoron to call Jesus Lord and then tell Him what to do? However if we allow him really to be Lord, our Impossibilities are his possibilities

    Our Impossibilities become His Possibilities Story: I have to tell you that, in continental Europe, the reputation of the Swiss is such that the Scots seem generous. At the turn of the 19th Century, the roof of the a little Swiss church hall was in serious need of repair. So the congregation ...read more

    Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, isn't that what we all want? Do you know what that sounds like in spiritual terms..."abundant life"

    Gods, Forever Favor! Psalm 30:1-5, AMP 1.I WILL extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me. 2.O Lord my God, I cried to You and You have healed me. 3.O Lord, You have brought my life up from Sheol (the place of the dead); You have kept me alive, that I ...read more

    Prayer isn’t about changing God’s mind; it’s about changing my mind so my will lines up with His will.

    Does Prayer Change God’s Mind? Rev. Brian Bill August 24-25, 2019 If our questions aren’t addressed properly, it’s easy to become confused.

    Jesus isn't just like an ambulance rushing to our rescue, he's also like a resort shuttle bus, for he is coming to take us to paradise.

    Take a look at the two vehicles pictured on the screen. Which one is more like Jesus? The ambulance or the Disney-resort shuttle bus? On one hand since Jesus comes to rescue us from our sins and from eternal death, you could say that he’s like the ambulance. On the other hand Jesus ...read more

    Knowing our temptation isn’t new and that people through out time has faced the same battles helps. Also God is our shield and defense.

    Job’s Battle Text: Job 1:6-12 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them. 7 And the LORD said to Satan, “From where do you come?” So Satan answered the LORD and said, “From going to and fro on the ...read more
