Just Like Us (Part Four)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 3, 2019

Last week we looked at Samson. Samson was physically strong but in some ways he was spiritually weak. We, too can be strong in some areas but weak in others. Today, we'll look at Elijah. He was bold and courageous...well, most of the time.

God's Not Like Us

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022

I was watching an American Gospel production and it showed a bible opened to Ps. 50:21 focusing on the words, "you thought I was altogether like you". Thinking God is like us puts human thinking and reasoning into the mind of God. But God is not like us.

GOD'S NOT LIKE US I was watching a trailer for an American Gospel production about how the gospel had become watered down in America and how some churches are conforming to please the masses. At one point it cut to a shot of a bible opened up to Ps. 50:21 focusing on the words, "you ...read more

God Has Reason Not To Like Us

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Jun 3, 2024

Understand that Glory and Honor is from Him – it is derived; it is not intrinsic to us. We have no Glory, we have no status apart from what God has given us.

TITLE: GOD HAS REASON NOT TO LIKE US SCRIPTURE: PSALM 8 / JOB 7:17-18 I want to challenge us this morning with an unsettling statement as our thought for the morning – “God Has Reason Not To Like Us.” I will give you a moment to squirm in the pew.

Jesus: Tempted In Every Way Just Like Us Series

Contributed by Scott Chambers on Jun 1, 2009

This message examines the significance of Jesus’ temptations.

Contrary to the message of many popular television preachers, the Bible does not promise health and prosperity. What we are promised is that we are engaged in a spiritual battle.

Like A Shepherd Leads Us

Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Nov 1, 2003

Ever think of why we don’t follow God’s leading? I don’t know about you, but I can think of at least 3 or 4 GREAT reasons not to follow God -- but are they good enough?

Psalm 23 has a very clear and comforting image of God leading us as a shepherd leads his flock. The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. Which is to say, Since the Lord is my leader, I will not need anything else. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he ...read more
