    Riding The Waves Of Life

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Apr 20, 2003
    based on 51 ratings
     | 11,775 views

    The stilling of the storm on Galilee is a parable demonstrating that life is a roller-coaster experience but with Jesus in command allis well, requiring us to repond in faith.

    RIDING THE WAVES OF LIFE I once heard a minister use a memorable phrase in his prayer and it stays with me: it was "our short and uncertain earthly life and pilgrimage". Life is uncertain. This is true for the Christian as well, as we don’t live in some magic or charmed circle just because we’re ...read more

    A Single New Humanity Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Apr 27, 2003
    based on 90 ratings
     | 8,151 views

    In the past we were alienated from God and from others, but now we have been reconciled to God through the work of Jesus Christ, so let’s seek to live for the future, for a time when all of God’s people will be joined as one, in a new heaven and a new ear

    One of the things we love to do is to remember the past. We keep journals and photo albums, we tell stories and reminisce, all to preserve our memories. On the other hand there are some memories that we don’t want to remember. Memories of past hurts, of things we’ve done that we’re ashamed of. Some ...read more

    At The Last He Will Stand Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 8, 2003
    based on 46 ratings
     | 8,377 views

    We search for permanence through accomplishments, wealth, legacies; but Job discovered that he needed a Redeemer who would stand in his place and bring him a lasting relationship with God.

    Have you discovered that nothing which you call permanent really is permanent? Lots of things are called permanent, many things are described as lasting, but they aren’t. Not really. Not long ago I wanted to mark two plastic containers so that I could be sure they would stay permanently ...read more

    It is a sin to desecrate the Lord’s temple, and we must learn to everything possible to avoid desecrating his holy shrine.

    Lessons in Temple Building Lesson #5 - Avoiding Temple Desecration Duct tape is an amazing creation of man. The armed forces created it, used for the waterproofing of equipment.

    Falling Into Satan's Trap

    Contributed by Rick Kallstrom on Jun 9, 2003
    based on 44 ratings
     | 13,627 views

    Paul’s time on earth was coming to an end. He had fought the good fight, finished the course, and kept the faith. Soon, Paul would be a victim of Nero’s chopping block. Now one of his closest disciples, Demas, has left him.

    This morning I want to talk to you about falling into Satan’s Trap. As we examine our scripture this morning, we find that the Apostle Paul is writing his final letter to Timothy, his son in the Lord. Paul is writing to Timothy from his jail cell in Rome. I suspect that it is wintertime when ...read more

    The Strength Of The Equilateral Triangle Series

    based on 68 ratings
     | 11,385 views

    Strength in families requires all three elements: faith, hope, and love. Illustrated with timbers handled to show that without all three the structure is unstable.

    Some of the old-timers used to say that bad things come in threes. Did you ever hear that? There is a notion out there that you never have just one disaster, you always have three, closely grouped. If there is a plane crash in the Andes today, look out, there will be two more in the near ...read more

    No Better Than We Are Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 13, 2003
    based on 23 ratings
     | 5,893 views

    It is a dangerous illusion to excuse our selves by claiming that we are no worse than anyone else. We find faults in people who look too perfect or who don’t give us what we want when we want it. But help comes from Jesus, who IS better than we are.

    When you get caught in some sort of blunder, how do you get out of it? How do you take care of your guilt when you are weighed in the balances and found wanting? Let’s say, just for the sake of argument, that you’ve shaded the truth. I will not suggest that you have lied; you have shaded the ...read more

    Slippery Rocks

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 15, 2003
    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,187 views

    Even the fundamentals of our faith -- the Bible, prayer, the church, spiritual experience -- can become slippery, unsure. The way to certainty is through obedience.

    Although generally I stay away from stories that begin, “There were a Baptist minister, a Catholic priest, and a Jewish rabbi,” today I’ll make an exception. Sometimes you just have to be corny to get your point across. So, sure enough, there were a Baptist minister, a Catholic priest, and a ...read more

    This message came from a series I did entitled "Witnesses", focusing on those who were eyewitnesses of Christ. Each message was prefaced with a short dramatic monologue, which is included.

    Peter Man, am I confused right now. They say, “when the goin’ gets tough, the tough…go fishin’.” Well, that’s where I am; I been fishin’ since I was 2 years old, me and Andrew; it’s the only life we ever knew…’til like three years ago.

     | 31,314 views

    Part 2 of a series on Blackaby’s Experiencing God: when God pursues us, we can either keep on running, hoping that He cannot catch up, or we can hide, hoping He will not find us. We need to let His love catch us.

    A few weeks ago I was driving down Fifth Street, on my way to a hospital visit. Just this side of the Soldiers’ home grounds, I became aware that some driver was right on my back bumper, weaving back and forth, his engine roaring, his horn blowing. Somebody was in a very big hurry. Well, as we ...read more
