    Courageous Love Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Apr 14, 2024
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,030 views

    God loves us with a brave and sacrificial love, and this love should overflow from our hearts into the lives of others. To love courageously means putting others' needs before our own and being moved with compassion.

    Hey guys! You know how we all love superhero movies, right? The hero always sacrifices for others, fights the bad guys, and saves the day. Well, guess what? We have a real-life superhero, and His name is Jesus. He showed us the ultimate love by giving up His life for us. And He wants us to be ...read more

    Why do you pray if you don’t expect God to hear and answer? Faith is the key to approaching God in a way that pleases Him.

    March 8, 2009 Morning Worship Text: Hebrews 11:6 Subject: Faith Title: Exploring the Possibilities We were over at church praying on Friday morning at our normal prayer time, Alice, Frances, Melanie and I were there, and even though it was our normal prayer time it was far from being a normal ...read more

    Coming Back To God

    I want to show you or, at least to begin to demonstrate to you, that it is not unreasonable to believe that Christianity is true, that you don’t have to trick yourself into becoming a Christian, that Christianity perfectly explains what we see going on in

    Some of you will find the material that we’re going to cover this morning much of it to be a review if you’ve been with us here for any length of time. These are very serious days and many men, many people are re-evaluating their relationship with God, and they are considering coming back to God. ...read more

    Jesus shows up to the disciples behind locked doors and reminds us: 1) Don't be surprised when he shows up in our lives. 2) Allow him to meet our doubts. 3) Allow him to open our minds to scripture, and 4) Take the witness stand for him.

    Luke 24:36-48 From Fear to Faith Rev. Roy Almquist shares a peculiar story from the bloody second Battle of Bull Run in the Civil War. Captain Robert Clark and his men were surrounded by the Confederate forces but refused to surrender. In the terrible battle that ensued, Clark’s entire detachment ...read more

    Maybe some of us come to Easter morning struck down by circumstances beyond our control—by health problems, betrayal in relationships, job loss or simply by the emptiness of looking ahead at more of the same.

    Resurrecting Hope: Overcoming Life’s Greatest Challenges—The Empty Tomb Changes Everything. John 20:11-18 Week—Four. The Secret Service—A gentleman walk in front of the pastor coming out of the church one day. The pastor grabbed him by the hand, pulled him aside and said ...read more

    Do you really have God’s call upon your life? If so, what has He disclosed to you? What are you doing about it? Have you consulted your mentor or pastor about it? Are you completely captivated by God?

    Opening Illustration: Narrative of how my call came about. Introduction: In the focus text, Samuel lives in a precarious time when “the word of the LORD was rare” (verse 1). This is a continuation of the problem at the end of book of Judges where “all the people did what was ...read more

    "I Thirst" Series

    Contributed by Kevin Cummins on Jun 9, 2003
    based on 246 ratings
     | 136,501 views

    "I thirst" is a statement from the cross that was only recorded by John in his gospel. I believe there was at least three reasons why God inspired to John to record that statment. This sermons looks at those three reasons.

    Last week our fourth statement from the cross that we looked at was perhaps the most agonizing statement of all. I believe as Christ took on the sins of the world, that sin that was upon Him separated Him from His Father and in that time of spiritual agony He cried out, “My God, my God, why ...read more

    based on 45 ratings
     | 4,786 views

    The Work Christ accomplished on the Cross is more than we can know, but we can at least understand a few of the most important accomplishments. The events surrounding the crucifixion picture the theology behind this monumental climax of history.

    The Bleakest of the Bleak (Matt. 27:45-55, John 19:30, Luke 23:47-48) Intro 1. I am into spot removing and solvents---at least a little bit. 2.

    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,733 views

    In our witnessing for the Lord, you will hear at least eleven different excuses for not getting saved by those who are still lost in their sin. In the first couple of chapters of the Book of Romans, the apostle Paul refutes every excuse.

    (Rom 2:1 KJV) Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

    The question in verse 35 is in the mind of everyone at some time or another. B. These people had denied the resurrection of the body for at least two reasons: 1. Their philosophy taught that the body was evil and only spirit was good. Therefore

    The Request God Never Turns Down Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,445 views

    We don't have to look at Jesus's promise "Seek and you shall find" like a disappointed kid at Christmas, but with the light of faith. There's at least one prayer we always get a "yes" to.

    Thursday of 27th Week in Course Lumen Fidei Today’s Gospel is written for adults, but the problem is that even in old age we tend to read it like an eight-year-old waiting for Christmas. We read “Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to ...read more

    Where Did He Go?

    One of the least studied times of Jesus' life is the period between His death and His resurrection. So, the natural question is, "Where did He go?" Let's see if we can find out.

    If you would, please stand as we say together our memory Scripture for this quarter: Romans 12:4-5 “Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” ...read more
