Why Speak In Parables Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Dec 4, 2025

The parables are more than storytelling devices to help people remember Jesus' teachings. The listener who pursues understanding will receive both healing and blessing, and ultimately come to know God.

I would like to open with an illustration by Lifeway author Christine Hoover. She tells of the time her husband, Kyle, used her in a sermon illustration and spoke of her inability to perfect a pecan pie. She testifies, “That particular Sunday, I was serving in the nursery, and as parents came to ...read more

Double Vision Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 22, 2014

It almost seems like Jesus cannot heal this blind man. It takes Him 2 times to give this man back his sight. What's going on here and what can it tell us about our need for God's touch in our lives?

OPEN: How many of you spend time on Facebook? (At least half the congregation raised their hands). Me too. And I have a number of friends on Facebook – 634 at last count – many of whom I barely know. But they are more than willing to share their thoughts with me. Some time back one ...read more

What Is Your Relationship Based On? Series

Contributed by Adam Couchman on Jun 8, 2007

Why do bad things happen to good people? If God is a good God, why doesn’t he fix all of the problems in the world? "If only" God would heal me, then I would put my faith in him. What is your relationship based on?

A young woman had become critically ill and her prognosis was grim; she would likely die within the year. Her family had a nominal “Easter and Christmas” commitment to the church, so the discussions in the hospital between this young pastor and the family always ploughed new ground. The woman ...read more

Generosity That Transforms Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Oct 27, 2024

The Sunset Of Evil

Contributed by Paul Kallan on Feb 8, 2003

If the source of our sicknesses is located in the false gods we worship, we need the help of the true God to replace them with the beliefs, ideas, values and goals that offer us healing and new life.

Mk 1.29-39 presents a scene of healing. He heals Simon’s mother-in-law and she begins to serve them. Good health is a necessary condition to be at the service of God and neighbour. God grants it to those who are eager to enter into this service. At sunset, he heals all the sick and the possessed, ...read more

Jesus Chilling Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 10, 2002

Jesus understood when, how, and why to "chill": when His emotional energies had been drained; how to back off the need to be needed; and for the purpose of providing a still point of healing for others.

If there is any one thing that distinguishes my generation and later generations, like the Gen-xers, it is that we have totally different attitudes about work and play. We are light years apart about what we expect from work or what we want from play. People born before and during the ...read more

One More Chance Series

Contributed by Clark Sneed on Jul 2, 2005

God gives one more chance to his fickle children, one more chance to return to him, one more chance to avert destruction, one more chance to know him and be healed.

Aren’t you glad that God is the God of second chances? This week I have been sick with a nasty bug, which has left me at times with a migraine that keeps me from being able to read. This is one way God slows me down and forces me to meditate. I spent more time than usual laying around thinking ...read more

Harsh Words Series

Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 15, 2006

Jesus tongue is a sword. His words are God’s words and they have power to heal or destroy. How do we handle hearing harsh words from heaven’s holy herald?

Read or quote Mark 7. Does God’s word ever say something that bothers you? I dare say, if you have never had that experience, you must not be reading your Bible much! The word of God comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable, does it not? God told Jeremiah, (23:29) "Is not My word ...read more

"Forgivenss?"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Jun 21, 2005

Wasn’t it obvious that the reason why these four men had brought their paralytic friend to Christ was because they wanted to see their friend healed! Why did Jesus begin with a message on forgiveness first?

Rather than giving you an entire message, here is a brief devotional thought for you to consider from the message that I preached this past Sunday Morning, enjoy: The text is in Mark Chapter two. Four men brought their paralytic friend to Christ. They wanted him healed. When they came to the ...read more

Soldiers, Hardened And Free!

Contributed by Kelly Durant on Jun 18, 2016

Te Christian Soldiers of all churches are only a minority group but they have the status of a Soldier because they are willing to march out there in their neighborhoods, as Jesus did to love the unlovely, to heal the wounded, and to preach the gospel.

Soldiers, Hardened and Free! Capt. Kelly Durant 2 Tim 2:1-4 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3 Thou ...read more

Have You Been Listening To Your Soul Lately? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jun 26, 2019

Giving a voice to our soul through prayers benefits us more than it benefits God. It tells us about who we are and where we stand. Acknowledging something is the beginning of healing.

We, as Christians, have learned to stand before God and pray. Not only did Jesus pray almost all the time, but He also taught us how to pray. He gave us the Lord's Prayer as a sample to follow. A good portion of that sample prayer aims to worship God; his presence, his power and his character. ...read more

"The Intersection Of Faith And Doubt"

Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2016

We know from previous passages of scripture that Jesus had given them the authority to heal and they had been successful many times. But this time they seem to be in over their heads. They pray and nothing happens.

"The Intersection of Faith and Doubt" Mark 9:14-24 We find in the scripture that nearly 40 times Jesus performed an act of healing. Water to wine. Fed 5000 without very little food. He healed the blind, the deaf; the lame. And the reason was simple: it was never just about the healing…it was ...read more
