    Learning how to trust the Lord through the difficulties of life.

    Trusting God’s plan when life doesn't make sense. Proverbs 3:5-6 Good Morning Stand with me and lift your bible and repeat after me. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I can do what it says I can do. I am going to learn how to be what it says I can be. Today I will learn ...read more

    Jesus teaches us about money/stewardship. A great formula for being a good steward is to: 1. Gain all we can 2. Save all we can 3. Invest in the lives of others all that we can (Adapted from John Wesley's Sermon on Money)

    Scripture: Luke 16:1-13 ; Ephesians 4:28; Psalm 79:1-9 Theme: Stewardship Title: Dollars and Jesus Sense Jesus teaches us about money/stewardship. A great formula for being a good steward is to: 1. Gain all we can 2. Save all we can 3. Invest in the lives of others all that we can ...read more

    Cultural Reality & Spiritual Carnality

    based on 47 ratings
     | 5,080 views

    Men and women, head coverings, improper use of communion - Paul tackles these and other controversial subjects in this chapter - we look at the one key verse that makes it all make sense.

    For an audio copy of this message, go to: www.LivingWatersWeb.com There are three things that we need to keep in mind as we read this chapter. 1. It’s all about being like Jesus 2. Paul is talking about conduct in public worship 3. There were cultural realities in Corinth that do not necessarily ...read more

    Spirituality For The Rest Of Us

    Contributed by Paul Newell on Mar 18, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,138 views

    We seem to make the whole "knowing God" thing much harder than God ever did? Life is hard, knowing God is what makes sense out of life.

    Spirituality For the Rest of Us 2 Peter 3:18, “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” Intro: Why should following Jesus Christ be so “hard”? If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard someone tell me: “Oh, Pastor Paul, it’s so haaarrrrdddd…” “Pastor, you ...read more

    How Christ Gives Meaning To All Aspects Of History

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 37 ratings
     | 3,300 views

    Jesus was used by God to accomplish precisely what He intended by sovereign foreknowledge, power and miraculous interventions. Only the Lord is able to make sense of chaos

    How Christ Gives Meaning to All Aspects of History Illustration:If God did not bless, not one hair, not a solitary wisp of straw, would grow; but there would be an end of everything. At the same time God wants me to take this stance: I would have nothing whatever if I did not plow and sow. God ...read more

    What Do I Need To Know About Sex? Series

    Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Nov 4, 2014
     | 3,948 views

    Since 'sex' is a topic we hear and read about everywhere in our society, doesn't it make sense we hear about it in church as well?

    “Getting A Clue: What Do I Need to Know About Sex?” Gen. 2:18-25; 1 Cor. 6:12-20 I imagine today’s sermon title, “What Do I Need to Know About Sex”- raised some eyebrows – and maybe even some temperatures. Some perhaps stayed away – some perhaps came ...read more

    In A Way Unexpected

    Contributed by William L. Vincent on Jan 5, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,445 views

    God will often use things, people and circumstances that do not make sense to the human intellect. God will speak into our improbability and bring forth our destiny.

    1 Sam 16:13 Now the LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons." 2 And Samuel said, "How can I go? If ...read more

    Two Brothers With An Agenda

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Feb 14, 2022
     | 2,604 views

    The original disciples were no different than us in their pride until they fully understood what Jesus did for them AND only then did the commitment make sense.

    Two brothers walk up to Jesus. It sounds like the beginning of a joke doesn’t it? Two brothers, often referred to as the sons of thunder, walk up to Jesus. It was just after the third time he shared that crazy statement about going to Jerusalem to die. They knew he was just trying to scare off the ...read more

    Living In A Topsy, Turvy World"

    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Mar 25, 2005
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,444 views

    Where is God in a world that doesn’t make sense? God can be found intimately involved in the world, hidden by our preconceived ideas, and limited spiritual imagination.

    Luke 16:19-31 “Living in a Topsy, Turvy World” INTRODUCTION I once read that Native Americas, the Sioux to be more exact, at one time in their history participated in what they called a Sun Dance. As part of the dance, men would allow themselves to be skewered through their pectoral/chest ...read more

    Slave Or Free? Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 21, 2010
    based on 67 ratings
     | 30,926 views

    The world believes that if they can be free of God, they’ll be free to do as they wish? But the Bible teaches us that everyone is a slave to something, but does that really make sense?

    OPEN: I’m not sure who wrote the following words, but this story says a lot about mankind: When my oldest son was about three years old, I was outside doing some yard work one afternoon. I took Kevin outside to play while I trimmed the hedges. Holding his hand, I knelt down beside him so that we ...read more

     | 7,994 views

    People sometimes leave their long term commitment with the church for the wrong reasons, or snap decisions that don’t make sense at all. I am going to d

    Thy Will Be Done? I left the church I grew up in after 50 roller coaster years. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t because of the roller coaster that I left. I learned from that and gained experience and a wonderful knowledge of scripture and the importance of wisdom. It was because of the roller ...read more

    Joy In Trials?!

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 18, 2022
     | 2,721 views

    The idea that we could find joy in trials seems very strange. But it makes sense - and it could radically change the way we respond to the trials that inevitably come.

    We’ve now reached the last in our series of ‘Messages of Encouragement’. And we’ve come to a very difficult piece of teaching! ‘James’ – whoever James may be – tells us TO CONSIDER IT PURE JOY WHENEVER WE FACE TRIALS OF MANY KINDS! Wow! That sounds crazy! How can we understand it? The general ...read more

    Why Jesus Left Series

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Apr 28, 2024
     | 911 views

    Jesus Says it is better for Him to go and to send the Holy Spirit. That may not make sense, so let's dig into John 16 and see why!

    Why Jesus Left Good Morning. This Morning’s Gospel text is from the same chapter we read from in John last week, John 16, and it does make a nice Part II to what we read. So, let’s review a couple of things from last week. 1. It comes from a part of the Gospel of John I figuratively called Jesus ...read more

    What Are You Doing Here?

    Contributed by Matt Hoffmann on Jun 29, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 12,102 views

    Sometimes God doesn't make sense, sometimes he even makes us angry. But we have a God who loves us in the midst of our feelings of loss, or anger, or confusion.

    I Kings 19:9-21 “What are you doing here?” When it comes to things God might say to me, I can’t think of too many things I would like to hear less. When I finally get to heaven and look at the face of God and hear, “What are you doing here, Matt?” YIKES! ...read more

    Colossal Christ (In The Omni Sense)

    When we make Christ the center of our world we discover the unfathomable largeness of God's power and passion for people.
