  • The Power Of Helpless Praying

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Aug 30, 2007
    based on 20 ratings
     | 26,048 views

    You cannot know that God answers helpless prayers until you are in a helpless and hopeless situation. Only then will you come to know God as the God who answers helpless prayers.

    Tonight we’re talking about the power of helpless praying and what happens when we understand what God can do through our prayers. The Secret of Your Power Is Your Weakness What is the secret of power to you? If you’re Popeye, I guess the secret of power is a can of spinach. If you’re ...read more

  • The God I Don't Believe In

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Aug 31, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,610 views

    You believe in a God who doesn’t exist if you believe He is like you, you can ignore Him or take Him for granted, He does not love you and will do anything to save you.

    It was another one of those articles, "How to Get People to Come to Church in the ’90’s." It said you need to help them raise their self-esteem, teach them to handle anger, to deal with depression, to save their marriages, give them strength to face all kinds of trouble in this world. All of those ...read more

  • View From A Deck Chair

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Aug 31, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,392 views

    A sermon on vision for a new year. This was written almost 10 years ago. Some of the illustrations may need to be update.

    The passage that I am using for a text is one that, when you hear it, will sound familiar to you. It is like Psalm 23, John 3 or 1 Corinthians 13 ... we wonder what more can be said about it. It is a passage that, if you are not familiar with Scripture, you will assume you read it in a magazine, or ...read more

  • I Never Met Milton Bradley

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Aug 31, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,783 views

    Our involvement in church is no game. It has eternal consequences.

    When it comes to games, I don’t believe there is a more avid game player than my wife. She loves to play games. We have a card game that we like to play called "hand and foot." I like that one, but my wife likes ’em all. When we were first married, the first Christmas, her folks went to New ...read more

  • What God Hates

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Aug 31, 2007
    based on 10 ratings
     | 8,928 views

    God hates when we misuse the body He has given us for sinful purposes. Why? Because God hates sin.

    The words hate and God do not seem to go together. Yet, the writer of Proverbs clearly declares that God hates something. What is it? Our initial instinct would be to suggest the terrible two: murder and adultery. Others would suggest drunkenness or debauchery. Not so, according to the writer of ...read more

  • A Divine Appointment

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 5, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,177 views

    A divine appointment with Jesus brings about a dynamic alteration.

    I have often been intrigued with the incidences in the Bible when people have, what appear to be, chance encounters with God. God is always at work in our world and He invites us to participate in what He is doing. Think about Moses on the backside of the desert. One day, he encounters a burning ...read more

  • The Question That Was Never Asked

    Evangelistic sermon concerning Jesus’ encounter with Nicodemus.

    John 3:1-7, 16 There was an old farmer and his wife who had turned in for the night and were just about to fall off to sleep when they heard the clock in the hallway begin to chime. They heard it chime nine o’clock, ten o’clock, eleven o’clock, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen. Finally, the wife ...read more

  • A Mighty God? Well, Duh!

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 6, 2007
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,087 views

    God reveals Himself in a mighty way through His creation. He gives us a proper perspective of ourselves and a proper perspective of the universe.

    Charlie Brown and Lucy and Linus are lying on the ground, looking up into the sky. Lucy says, "If you use your imagination, you can see lots of things in the cloud formations. What do you think you see, Linus?" Linus responds, "Well, those clouds up there look like the map of the British Honduras ...read more

  • Try A Little Harder

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 6, 2007
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,461 views

    This passage is a call to pray with our bodies and our actions as well as with our hearts, minds, and mouths.

    There is an old Japanese saying that if a person makes one thousand folded paper cranes, then he/she will be made well. Lots of people believe that prayer works that way: If enough people pray enough prayers to God, then God is bound to grant their request. Prayer is a way of getting God to do what ...read more

  • Respectable ... But Deadly Sin

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 6, 2007
     | 2,283 views

    It takes more than knowledge of Jesus Christ for salvation. It requires a personal relationship with Him.

    If I were to ask you if you are a sinner, what would you think of? Murder, adultery, theft, drunkenness, or some other of the most obvious evils? If so, the chances are that you would insist you are not guilty of any of these. One man said he felt it was an insult to call him a sinner. Obviously, ...read more

  • Good Grief!

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 6, 2007
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,181 views

    When (not if) you go through grief, if you have Jesus Christ at the center of your life, you can make it through.

    Every Tuesday in September, and there are five of them, I will be facilitating a group entitled "Living After Loss." As I have thought about you this past week, I realized there’s one word that applies, or will apply, to all of us, and that word is grief. How many unmentioned needs are in the ...read more

  • How To Focus A Fuzzy Vision

    You can make a difference in this world if you’re focused like Jesus.

    You can make a difference in this world if you’re focused like Jesus. How’s Your Focus? After hearing and reading all the health warnings the media consistently blesses us with, someone wrote this tongue-in-cheek observation. "Brace yourself. Somewhere, they’re plotting the scare of the ...read more

  • Grounds For Gratitude

    After Thanksgiving sermon. You can have that magnificent gratitude for fellowship, for suffering, for grace, and thus learn to live and to serve at your fullest for Christ.

    Grounds For Gratitude dec0196a Philippians 1 (830) Sometimes, we have a way of forgetting Thanksgiving as soon as the turkey is cold, and we start looking forward to Christmas.

  • Why Was Christ A Carpenter?

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 6, 2007
    based on 11 ratings
     | 6,205 views

    It was not by chance or mere coincidence that Christ was raised in the environment of a carpenter’s shop.

    In Mark 6:3 we read, "Is not this the carpenter?" I believe nothing was left to chance in the life of our Lord. Every day’s experience had been foreseen and planned in the counsels of deity before the Incarnation took place. There were no surprises for Him. He was never caught unaware. He knew the ...read more

    A sermon on unity in the church giving the incentives, imperatives and incarnation of unity in the church

    "The Battling Baptists" ... that’s the reputation Baptists have, according to Walter Shurden. Baptists are born fighters because they were born fighting. Early Baptists were known as law-breakers. Shurden writes, "They broke the laws in England and they broke the laws in America. And they broke ...read more
