    Pits & Wells

    Contributed by Tj Long Jr on Oct 13, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,385 views

    Many of the things that we think will fill us up are indeed pits that drain us. We should seek after wells that have Living Water. In the midst of internal strife in the church at Philippi, Paul shows us how to seek the things that are lovely while I'll give you steps to reduce the negativity.

    “Pits & Wells” (Title Slide) [Slides are available upon request, these cues denotes where slides are shown/used.] It’s a common narrative to think that most of the news that you see on TV is bad news. Well, that’s not only a common viewpoint, it’s backed up by statistics. Studies show that ...read more

    The Politics Of Jesus

    Christians think they align with Jesus' views. Some are surprised, others offended. Jesus’ campaign sounds like a liberal utopia because we’re not ready to let go of hate, we’re not ready to trust in God and not in the law. We have to transcend hate and show the mercy we’ve been shown by God.

    There are only two shows that I’ve ever watched the entire series. One of which I still own on DVD and have watched the entire series 3 times. If there was any show that I’d love to see still running today it would be this one. I’d love to see how it would interpret and respond to the issues of our ...read more

    The Prerequisite Of Love

    Contributed by Mike Hays on Oct 18, 2000

     | 9,803 views

    In our Scripture for today we can easily conclude that love is not an emotion as much as it is an emulation of the One who first loved us. Love is more than a longing -- it is an action.

    The Prerequisite Of Love 1 John 4:7-12 I first heard the report on the radio as I was driving to work this week - Jane Fonda had given her life to Christ. The woman who has recently gone through a divorce to Ted Turner, sold more exercise videos than Bill Gates has sold Windows, and who has been ...read more

    Summer Fruit!

    Micah longed for the time when righteousness would reign once again in Israel. He felt as though the was living in the time of gleaning the fields instead of the time of great harvest.

    SUMMER FRUITS! Micah 7:1-7, "Woe is me! For I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the first ripe fruit. The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in ...read more

    To Build A Fire

    based on 18 ratings
     | 3,435 views

    like Jesus, we need to not only look, but to really see men, that is, perceive and understand the deep longings in men who are without God … in short … “what are they seeking?”

    To Build a Fire September 2, 2001 Read John 1:35-39a and 2 Tim. 4:5 I want to bring an exhortation on evangelism today, but rather than stress our responsibility to evangelize, I want to do it by thinking deeply about the nature of man. When it comes down to “doing the work of an evangelist” I ...read more

    Paradise Found Series

    based on 9 ratings
     | 3,247 views

    As a child I was more serious about avoiding Hell than going to Heaven. My knowledge of Heaven was inaccurate. A biblical understanding of Heaven creates a longing to go there.

    PARADISE FOUND Exploring the Hope of Heaven Sermon #1 Revelation 4:1-11 I. Glory Revealed A. Color Parade 1. Jaspers, carnelians, emeralds, rainbows 2.

    8th in long series on Joshua. 1st of 2 sermons on mass circumcision in ch.5. This deals with cutting the sin out of our lives, execution-style.

    Joshua 5:1-9 – Precision Cutting (I got some good info from another SermonCentral preacher. Good stuff!) An ancient story is told about a slave who traveled with his master to Baghdad. As he walked the busy streets he found himself in the market place where he saw Death in human form. Death ...read more

    Even A Little Can Hurt

    based on 37 ratings
     | 3,456 views

    We cannot play around with temptation because we are not strong enough to resist it for long, and when temptation is taken, it will always lead us into sin - away from God.

    Have you ever noticed how opportunity only knocks once, but temptation seems to keep banging away until you answer the door? It’s always there waiting to entice us, and unless we are constantly on guard against it, we will slip and succumb to it. It might be the temptation of fear; the temptation ...read more

    We may find ourselves asking God where He is, but we must remind ourselves that God loves us and God is with us all day long.

    Put Your Hope in God Psalm 42 The writer of this psalm is a Korahite That means a few different things. He was a highly respected Levite who was part of a rich family tradition of music and worship. He was a man of status, deeply embedded in the tradition of Temple worship.

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jun 21, 2004
    based on 14 ratings
     | 2,875 views

    Instead of going into a long explanation on subjects, Jesus taught in principles saying, "When you pray, say, . . ." and He gave them a pattern that also included prayer principles.

    Why Jesus Chose to Not React to Cultural or Temperaments but Focused on Principles John 4:23-34 - "Yet, a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.

    So, just why did David pick up "5" smooth stones? It was because long before Scouting began, David understood the Scout Motto "Be Prepared"

    OPEN: A bricklayer had an accident at work and filed following insurance report: On the day of my accident I was working alone on the roof of a 6-story building.

    based on 31 ratings
     | 14,255 views

    This sermon looks at how wide, long, high and deep the love of God is. The point being that God’s love is vast! We need to know that and experience it.

    The Vastness of God’s Love 2/13/05, a.m. service Ridgeway Assembly of God Pastor Greg Tabor Introduction Read: Ephesians 3:14-19 I agree with John MacArthur’s statement: “I do not think that breadth and length and height and depth represent four specific types or categories of love but simply ...read more

    Satan won’t play dead for long as we grow in our maturity for the Lord. Learn how Joshua and Israel was fooled by a sly enemy, and how not to be fooled by Satan.

    There is only so much victory in a Christian’s life that Satan will accept without a fight. Know for certain that the stronger you get, the stronger the response from the enemy will be. We need to know this so we can be prepared for his onslaught. It will be both unexpected and sly. For Joshua, ...read more

    Christ Longs to make a "Triumphal Entry" into our hearts but our expectations of who Christ is “supposed” to be can keep us from receiving Christ as He actually is.

    WHO WERE YOU EXPECTING? “Misunderstanding Christ at the Triumphal Entry.” Mt. 21:1-17 Fr. Christopher M.
