Sermons on Man Dependent On God:

The Two-Man Lift

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Mar 18, 2025

When something was too heavy for us to lift, it was a policy at my work that anything over 50 lbs. was to have a two-man lift. This way the heavy object could be lifted without injury! Prayer is similar at times!

The Two-Man Lift Ephesians 6:14-18; 1 Samuel 38-40 When something is too heavy for you to carry, what do we do? We ask for help, hence – “The Two-Man Lift!” This was a policy where I used to work… Over 50 lbs., get help!! Knowing that God wants us to pray as if we are fighting and defeating the ...read more

Lazarus And The Rich Man

Contributed by Dietrich Bonhoeffer on Aug 2, 2012

It has become common practice to see as the whole meaning of this story that the rich should help the poor... But this particular story especially, if one allows oneself to be affected fully by its original meaning, is a very concrete proclamation of the

One cannot understand and preach the gospel concretely enough.

Contributed by Norris Harris I on Mar 13, 2003

The Man's Role In Society

Contributed by Clinton Smith on Mar 4, 2008

The sermon was written to call us to repentance for missing for so long, restore us to the place of godly leadership and stability, and encourage us to hang in there even when the going gets tough.

The society in which we live has neglected to teach men about their role in the home, in the church, and society. The worldly view of a man’s role is that he should provide financially for his family, but we shouldn’t expect him to be very engaged with home life. In spite of all our talk of ...read more

God's Testimony: David- A Man After God's Own Heart

Contributed by Shashi Marian on Feb 9, 2026

Acts 13:22 is a very significant Scripture Wherein God testifies concerning David and called him a man after His Own Heart. Man’s testimony wavers according to the circumstances but when God says something we need to take a very serious note of it. God does not change His statements.

God's Testimony is greater than that of man. There are several reasons that contributed to the testimony of God for David. This brings us to the question as to who David was, what was so special about him and why God had to testify concerning him. Some of the few points are enumerated below. ...read more
