     | 45 views

    Jesus did not come just to keep us from burning in hell. He said, "I came that they may have life and have it abundantly" (John 10:10). Many believers live as orphans, not sons and daughters of the King.

    POSSESSING OUR POSSESSIONS Obadiah vv. 15-17 I. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND A. Israel had failed to value the blessings of God, resulting in sin and captivity, and others taking possession of their land. B.

    Recommissioned (John 21:15-19) Intro: A. I want to share some quick highlights in the life the Apostle Peter.

    I think Matthew wrote these Beatitudes down in the exact order that Jesus spoke them. And I believe Jesus had a reason for putting them in this particular order.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2016) TEXT: Matthew 5:1-12 There is a beautiful chorus that begins with these words, "Do you want joy, real joy, wonderful joy? Then let Jesus come into your heart." And this morning we will look ...read more

     | 2,743 views

    There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that God loves us and wants to bless us. The Book of Psalms is all about how this wonderful God that loves us wants to bless us.

    God does not wait until chapter two before He tells us how we can receive a blessing. He starts off in chapter one, verse one. The word translated, “Blessed,” is from the Hebrew word, “aishair” which simply means: “HAPPINESS.” Many people have different ideas on how to find happiness in this ...read more

    A Church In Exile, And Our Response

    Contributed by Matthew Oliver on Jan 7, 2002
    based on 10 ratings
     | 5,805 views

    In many ways the Christian church is a church in exile as many of our traditional power bases have been lost. We are not to focus on things of man, but things of God, in prayer and faith. Perseverance in prayer is the key.

    A Church in Exile, and our Response. Sermon for Proper 29, Year C 21 October 2001 St John the Evangelist, Cold Lake Jeremiah 31:27-34 Psalm 119:94-104 2 Tim 3:14-4:5 Luke 18:1-8 One of the joys of being a Lay Reader is the privilege of preaching God’s word before His people.

    We make promises to God but do not keep them because we let life overwhelm us, but if we listen to those who care for us, they will bring us back to our promises.

    The shouts of today are so loud that I do not hear the echoes of yesterday, nor do I listen to the faint whispers of tomorrow. All I really know is what is clamoring in my ear right here, right now. That makes me lose perspective. The shouts of today are so insistently loud that I do not hear the ...read more

    Just as Copernicus discovered the center of the solar system and changed science forever, understanding the center of Christmas, Jesus Christ, changes our lives forever.

    based on 109 ratings
     | 48,405 views

    We all fail to keep our pledges, don’t we? Our good intentions and plans often fall by the wayside. Sometimes we blatantly break our promises but other times, we just kind of drift away, a little at a time.

    Standing By Our Promises As many of you know, I really like Snicker bars. For the past year, whenever I would go to Dairy Queen, I would always order a Snicker Bar Breeze. All I had to do was walk in and one of the workers would start filling a cup with chunks of tasty nougat. It was automatic ...read more
