    Listening For Abuse Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 6, 2003
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,846 views

    Many of us are only a short step from the abuse of other races, of women, or of children. We must listen to our own hearts and must correct this by exposure to others and to the power of Christ.

    I For the last several Sundays we’ve been doing an exercise in listening to ourselves. We’ve put ourselves into Moses’ life and we’ve listened to what we feel about ourselves. I hope it’s been productive. It certainly has spoken to me. I hope you’ve been able to listen to yourselves under the ...read more

    Jesus teaches us about the "narrow door" of salvation. We are warned to avoid the "broad" way that leads to destruction.

    Are You Listening? Luke 13.22-30 The Bible is the most important book in the world. It is God’s word, and it clearly reveals the truth of this world. It is the cradle of Christ and the message of salvation. Of all the things we do in this life... work, eat, sleep, care for our ...read more

    Listen To Love

     | 3,541 views

    This message aims through Scriptural interpretation, illustration and a communication model to inform the listener to "listen" with a framework of love and care.

    LISTEN TO LOVE Less talk, more communication "For the measure you measure with will be measured back to you" (Luke 6:38) 1. How hard is it to find someone who will really listen to you? • Those of us who have identified with Jesus the Christ, have been taught a very special kind of love, which ...read more

    Are you listening to God? Do you know how?

    A man was having difficulty communicating with his wife and concluded that she was becoming hard of hearing. So he decided to conduct a test. One evening he sat in a chair on the far side of the room. Her back was to him and she could not see him. Very quietly he whispered, "Can you hear me?" ...read more

    Listening To Jesus

    The hometown Nazarene synagogue community could not hear Jesus over the noise of their own presuppositions. They watched him grow up. What do we hear when we listen to Jesus? In this text we hear his love, truth, and authority.

    Listening To Jesus Luke 4:21-30 Introduction Proverbs 1:5 (NASB) A wise man will hear and increase in learning, And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel.. “There's a lot of difference between listening and hearing.” ― G.K. Chesterton We should always be a ...read more

    God often gives us direction through Prophets. Why don’t we listen to him? We don’t like being told we are on the wrong path or going the wrong way. The answer as actually rooted in our psyche.

    We live in a world where we have more ‘speak-ers’ than ‘listen-ers’. Everyone wants to be heard. Give opinions. Suggest an idea. Give counsel. Make recommendations. But no one wants to listen.

    Similar to Paul's "Mars Hill" sermon, the intent of this sermon is to touch the hearts of persons of all religions and point them to the Lord.

    “Stop Today and Listen” A Sermon for a Family Reunion at a Campground—Mixed Faiths Hebrews 11:13-16, Psalm 19:1-4 While it has been a number of years since my wife and I have been able to attend, still, in all the years since we were last here with you, I have never forgotten the inspiring calm ...read more

    God wants to keep us in the loop; he wants us to get it right and be informed.

    Listen Up! Isaiah 55 1. At the women’s Bible study this week, the ladies came up with a theory to account for the clues they found. First, they saw that my vehicle and Marylu’s vehicle were parked in the lot. Second, they saw on the marker board in the hall, “Camp ...read more

    We become different people when the Holy Spirit comes upon us. We celebrate and share with humanity’s children. We have been set free and we enjoy the special favour of God. God’s Word shines a light into our darkness and continues to set us free.

    There is a common thread in the readings we heard from Nehemiah 8:1-10 and Luke 4:14-21 this morning, and it is freedom from slavery. In the case of the reading from Nehemiah, the story takes place after the Israelites have returned from captivity in Babylon. In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus mentions ...read more

    God often speaks to us in a still small voice, especially in our most vulnerable moments. We need to learn to quiet our minds and hearts to hear Him.

    Today, we're diving into the story of Elijah, a dude who knew a thing or two about tough times. So, picture this: Elijah, fresh off a major win against the prophets of Baal, is now hiding in a cave. He's scared, feeling alone, and probably wondering what's next. God shows up and asks him, 'What are ...read more

    Return To A Listening Heart

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 22, 2025
     | 186 views

    A pastor’s burden exposes spiritual deafness in the church and calls believers and leaders alike to listen, repent, realign, and return to Christ.

    There are moments in ministry when the burden becomes heavier than the words. Moments when you stand before God with His people on your heart and realize that what troubles you most is not persecution from the outside, but resistance on the inside. God spoke through Jeremiah to a people who were ...read more

     | 4,083 views

    Paul was ready to give his testimony of how he went from a persecutor of Christians to a follower of Christ. Paul was bold to confront King Agrippa with the claims of Christ. Paul even gave an invitation to Agrippa to become a follower of Christ.

    Background The context of this message is that Paul had recently finished his third missionary journey and went to Jerusalem. When he got to Jerusalem, he told James the brother of Jesus and all the church leaders what happened in his ministry where the gentiles turned to God. The Jerusalem ...read more

    Preached on Memorial Day but can be easily altered for any time. Our prayers and service are the memorial that we offer to God.

    Your Memorial Before God By Pastor Jim May The Book of Acts contains a story that I would like to bring to you this morning. It’s all about a memorial that God has for all of us who serve him.
