    Sing A Song Of Joy PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,728 views

    Explore the joy of singing, praying, and reading the Scriptures as forms of worship, and to encourage believers to express their faith in ways that reflect the Christ within them more than the culture around them.

    Good morning, brothers and sisters in Christ. It's a blessing to gather here together with joyful hearts to praise our Lord. I'm reminded of a quote from A.W. Tozer, who once said that, "Worship is no longer worship when it reflects the culture around us more than the Christ within us." Today, ...read more

    Cultivating Joy And Gentleness Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,270 views

    Joy in the Lord and gentleness in dealing with others affect our quality of life. When we are thinking right about God and our relationship with Him, joy and gentleness naturally flows.

    Intro In Philippians 4:1 we are given the directive to “stand fast in the Lord.” i That is followed by a series of exhortations that tell us how to do that. The exhortation in verses 2-3 is about maintaining unity in the congregation. That is not always easy to do, is it? That’s why Ephesians 4 ...read more

    Turning Hardship To Joy

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jun 24, 2004
    based on 54 ratings
     | 5,434 views

    Sometimes God allows things to get difficult so He can produce greater joy in and through and with us. Jesus knew that His Father often used tragedy to cause people to look to heaven for solutions to their problems.

    John 15:11-16 Illustration: A cynic asked an elderly believer who had endured great physical pain for 20 years, "What do you think of your God now?" The godly sufferer replied, "I think of Him more than ever." Sorrow can be the means of bringing us heart-to-heart with God. When repeated strokes ...read more

    Joy Versus Happiness

    The world relentlessly pursues self-statisfying happiness with utter disregard for the Joy of the Lord. Even those who authored the declaration of independence thought that the "pursuit of happiness" was a God given right. So ... what does the Bible say?

    Let’s take a look at a couple of Scriptures … Ecclesiastes 12:8 (NASB) “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher, “all is vanity!” Ecclesiastes 12:8 (HCSB) “Absolute futility,” says the Teacher. “Everything is futile.” Ecclesiastes ...read more

    The Trial Of Jesus - A Tale Of Truth And Power

     | 8,771 views

    Jesus’ discussion with Pilate during His trial has some powerful messages about power and about truth.

    I’m always astounded at that point in the narrative of Christ’s final hours when Pilate says to Him: “Don’t you realise I have power either to free you or to crucify you?” To which Jesus replies, using the WJB paraphrase version of the Bible: “You’re kidding aren’t you? You … power over ME! Not ...read more

    Psalm 30: Title: Joy Cometh In The Morning Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on May 13, 2019
     | 20,238 views

    The scope of the Psalm corresponds well with a state of rest, and meditation on his past trials. The psalm begins with a celebration of God's delivering favor, in which he invites others to join him; he relates his prayer during a time of distress, and God's gracious and prompt answer.

Psalm 30 (KJV) 1 I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. 2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. 3 O LORD, thou hast ...read more

    Christmas declares, “Joy to the world, the Lord has come.” God’s desire is that we would experience the good tidings of great joy proclaimed by the angels 2,000 years ago.

    REDISCOVERING THE JOY OF CHRISTMAS OPENING THOUGHT: Christmas… is it really the most wonderful time of the year? • Many people find this season stressful and depressing!

    Knowing Jesus brings joy. Joy that does not fade, nor can it be taken away.

    From Sorrow to Joy Text: John 16:16-24 What is Joy? My Uncle used to ask people if they wanted to see a picture of his pride and joy, and of course, people being kind, would say, “Yeah, of course.” And he’d pull out a picture of Pride furniture wax and Joy dishwashing soap.

     | 11,250 views

    It’s easy to trust God when the sea is parting, when the walls of Jericho are falling, when His voice is clearly coming through to our spirit. But what about those days when God is silent? Discovering both sides of Faith!

    There is a faith receives what it believes, and a faith that believes beyond what it receives. Text: Hebrews 11:13-16 "These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers ...read more
