    Get Behind Me Satan

    Contributed by Johnny Small on Jun 20, 2002

    We need to tell Satan to get out of our lives when he is there trying to tempt us because we are doing Christ’s will for our lives.

    Get Behind Me Satan Out of all of the disciples, I think I like Peter the best. He reminds me a lot of myself.

    A scriptural examination of WHY Christ had to suffer and die on the cross.

    The Divine Necessity of the Cross Introduction I want to start tonight with two words. Words. What are they? They are the vehicles of thought--the means by which we communicate with one another.

    We are Jesus’ representatives to the world. Do we make a good confession? Or a false impression?

    We’re sometimes slow to trust God even though He has always come through in the past.

    A LESSON IN TRUSTING “Be careful”, Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod”, (Mark 8: 15). Here we have one of those recurring occasions that take place in the ministry of Jesus - the feeding of a large crowd of people. The people came from near and ...read more

    How sin limits the power of God in our lives

    To Handcuff the Power of God Mark 8:14-21 (Prayer) A recurring theme of the bible is that only those who would dare to trust God with their whole hearts will see the power of God manifested in their circumstances.

    Our faith in Jesus Christ progressively heals us of our spiritual blindness.

    (Note: This sermon was introduced with scene # 32 from "Traveling Light") I’ve always had a secret fear about going blind. Out of all my senses, sight would be the most difficult for me to live without. Maybe it’s because I love to read so much. I always hated those assignments in high school that ...read more
