    "Drained" Series

    Contributed by Tony Searles on Feb 15, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,478 views

    This is the first in a six part Easter Series. The premise comes from Phil. 2:5-7 where it states that Jesus "emptied Himself, taking on the form of a bond-servant." We too need to be emptied so we can be filled with the fullness of Christ alone.

    TITLE: “Drained” #1 in the SERIES: “Empty” MAIN TEXT: Mark 14:3-9 Today, we start a new series that will lead us into RESURRECTION SUNDAY! EMPTY! (Allow me to set the foundation for all that I believe God wants to say to us.) I have been contemplating and praying about ...read more

    The Flesh Is Willing

    Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Nov 21, 2019
     | 3,665 views

    Wait… the title of this story is “The Flesh is Willing”, yet this scripture claims it is weak… and it was Jesus who actually said it… so, that must be right! See… the flesh is very willing to do things, to get involved, to perform or get into action… to a fault.

    Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Wait… the title of this story is “The Flesh is Willing”, yet this scripture claims it is weak… and it was Jesus who actually said it… so, that must be right! No, I am not trying ...read more

    Contributed by Dwight L. Moody on Jun 12, 2009
     | 19,078 views

    A classic sermon by D. L. Moody on the importance of developing and maintaining constant communion with God.

    THE very first thing that happened after the news reached heaven of the fall of man, was that God came straight down to seek out the lost one. As He walks through the garden in the cool of the day, you can hear Him calling "Adam! Adam! Where art thou?" It was the voice of grace, of mercy, and of ...read more

    This sermon talks about God’s will and how important it is to allow Him control of our lives and our destiny. He can be the Master Painter on the canvas of our lives.

    Introduction: How do you measure the value of an abstract painting? After all, what the artist sees, will probably be totally different than what the observer sees. A white canvas with a single black dot will cause people to stand around and say "Ooh!" "Ahh!" and then sell for a million dollars. ...read more

    There are times in our lives when faith seems more essential than others. In fact, we will eventually encounter a season where faith is all we have. We must learn to walk by faith as we follow the Lord and serve Him.

    Series: Walking by Faith #1 The Call of Abraham Genesis 12: 1-9 As believers we often speak of faith. Most are aware of the value of genuine faith, but we often find it difficult to practice faith. I was reminded of the lyrics to the popular song – God on the Mountain. “We talk of ...read more

    Despair

    Sometimes, even faithful people can experience heartache to the point of losing hope. God knows what we're going through and He has a plan for us all.

    Opening and Introduction In our text today, Paul has a summary of one of his travels, and how it affected him. There was a time when things were so bad, that he lost all hope, and despaired of life itself. Despair is one of those words we don’t use every day. We talk about feeling down, sad, or ...read more

    We are to live as dead men; Dead to fleshly desires. Jesus said, “Follow Me”. To “follow” Him, you must “take up your cross”. We “must” become Less so that we can become oh so much more!
