    So Near And Yet So Far

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 14, 2009

     | 9,817 views

    We will never be as close to Christ as we could be or think we are if we are oblivious to today’s issues or build monuments to past achievements.

    We can be close to something, and yet miss it. We can be almost on target, almost where we want to .be, and yet, if we’re not exactly where we ought to be, we miss it. So near and yet so far. A couple of years ago, when my wife and I were touring England, we were in Victoria Station, one of the ...read more

    Nightmares, Numb Skulls And Near Misses Series

     | 6,931 views

    Do you have questions that earthly wisdom cannot answer? Do you have an ominous feeling that something is wrong but you don't know. Find out in Daniel 2 that mans wisdom is never enough to answer the questions of life. God will answer if you will ask.

    Intro: Before we jump into Daniel we need to hear a passage in Hebrews. Hebrews 1:1-2 “Long ago God spoke to the fathers by the prophets at different times and in different ways. 2 In these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son.” Before God sent the Holy Spirit to live inside of ...read more

    THE LONELINESS OF BEING FORSAKEN BY GOD AND MAN MAKES LIFE IN THE PITS INTOLERABLE

    BIG IDEA: THE LONELINESS OF BEING FORSAKEN BY GOD AND MAN MAKES LIFE IN THE PITS INTOLERABLE INTRODUCTION: This is the saddest psalm in the psalter; no glimmer of hope; for once we are left in the same state of despair as at the beginning of the psalm. We know God’s promise that He will never ...read more

     | 389 views

    This sermon exposes the mystery of near-success syndrome and reveals how divine persistence, obedience, and faith break the cycle permanently.

    BREAKING THE BARRIER OF NEAR-SUCCESS SYNDROME By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Kings 18:41-44 Key Verse: “And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand…” (1 Kings 18:44) Supporting Texts: Deuteronomy 1:6-8; ...read more

    Why Are You Weeping Jesus?

    Contributed by Duane Smith on Aug 27, 2006
    based on 26 ratings
     | 12,370 views

    The prupose of this message is to draw the wondering Christian back to the Lord and to present the gospel to the lost, that they might have eternal life.

    WHY ARE YOU WEEPING JESUS? Luke 19:41-42 INTRODUCTION: A. This morning you heard the children from Wacky Wednesday sing a song proclaiming “Hosanna.” 1. The idea for the song is taken from the account of what has been called “Christ’s Triumphal Entry” and is usually preached on Psalm ...read more

     | 5,256 views

    In our study tonight Jesus is drawing to a close His teaching for His disciples. The hour is at hand and His arrest is in the very near future! The disciples have a sense that something is going on, but their spiritual perception is dim and limited.

    31 "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, 32 but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers." 33 Peter said to Him, "Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death." 34 ...read more

    XMAS - Advent sharpens spiritual sight; like Simeon and Anna, we recognize Jesus through devotion, worship, and Spirit-led attentiveness as God draws near.

    THE EYES HAVE IT There is a quiet kind of beauty in the Advent season that has nothing to do with lights, trees, music, or celebration. It is the beauty of waiting. Of watching. Of learning to see God when He draws near. Advent, at its heart, is a season of holy attentiveness—where the people of ...read more

    Reaching Out To Jesus

    Jairus reached out on behalf of his daughter, the woman in the crowd reached out to Jesus for herself, and the crowd just wanted to be near to Jesus. How about us?

    (This is a short Homily given at a midweek Communion Service) The wonderful news about Jesus was spreading fast (Mark 5:20), and a large crowd has gathered around Jesus by the side of the Lake (Mark 5:21). As the events unfold, I wonder which character you most relate to. Which character is ...read more

     | 10,509 views

    When you think of Old Testament shadows of Christ, Adam usually is not at the top of the list. This lesson shows why he should be near the top of your list.

    WHO AM I? My time on earth did not begin in a natural way. I had no earthly father. I was made in the image of God. I was innocent and without sin. In my innocence, I was tried and tempted by the serpent. I made an important decision which involved a tree that impacted all of history. My decision ...read more

     | 4,270 views

    25th in series on Joshua. This is about avoiding evil, but still being near unbelievers. Somehow Jesus was holy, even though He was near unholy people. It must be possible for us too.

    Joshua 23:1-16 – Close to Sinners, Far From Sin There’s an old story about a man who tried to save the city of Sodom from destruction by warning the citizens. But the people ignored him. One day someone asked, “Why bother everyone? You can’t change them.” “Maybe I can’t,” the man replied, ...read more

     | 6,448 views

    The storms of life will either draw you closer to the Lord or further away. How about you?

    Even the winds and the sea obey Him! Mathew 8:26, 27 “But He said to them, “why are you fearful, O you of little faith? Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea. And there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, “Who can this be, even the winds and the sea obey ...read more

    Conscious Of Death

    Contributed by Martin Holland on Jan 5, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,091 views

    God in His Word expresses the need for man to be conscious of the fact he must one day die if Jesus tarries His coming. This is meant to have a positive affect on our lives if we grasp death from a biblical perspective.

    Conscious of Death Hebrews 9:23-28, Eccl. 9:4-5 Vs.27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment Mention: Genesis 5 The first obituary written since the history of this world Over 155,000 people die daily!

    Nearer And Dearer To Jesus!

     | 2,836 views

    Friend, getting near to Him means getting close to His Word! You cannot ignore the Bible and say that you love Jesus! Do you hear me?

    Nearer and dearer! Genesis 21:22”At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, "God is with you in all that you do.” The nearer and dearer you get to God, the lesser would you fear your enemies! Hallelujah! Abraham shed his previous fear and spoke ...read more
