    Suffocating In Worry

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 30, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,825 views

    Worry causes us to feel as though we’re grasping for breath and walking around half-dead. Worry zaps our life and drains our strength. In order to have true life in the Lord, we must place all our cares in the hands of Jesus Christ.

    E. Stanley Jones, a missionary to India in the early 1900’s, stated, “I live better by faith and confidence than by fear, doubt and anxiety. In anxiety and worry, my being is grasping for breath - these are not my native air. But in faith and confidence, I breathe freely - these are my native ...read more

It’s not uncommon for a child to answer, when asked what they want to be when they grow up, “I want to be like my dad.” However, the image of a father can fade away if he fails to be a role model. Not only might he be ...read more

    Ready & Faithful Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 4, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,678 views

    In this passage, we receive the encouragement from Christ to be faithful and to remain ready. We can remain faithful because He is a good shepherd who looks over His flock. We stay ready because we don’t know the day or the hour when Christ will return, but we trust that He is coming soon.

    Today, we're going to talk about being ready and faithful. Life can be pretty unpredictable, right? Sometimes we're prepared for what's coming, and other times, we're caught off guard. But when it comes to our faith, Jesus wants us to be ready and faithful all the time. So, let's dive into our main ...read more
