    Just like King Jehoram and Israel, we often settle for "donkey soup" provided by the devil instead of getting ready for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

    DONKEY SOUP 2 Kings 6:24-33, "And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria. And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass’s head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth ...read more

    Demonstrates how religious ritual, even good religious ritual cannot bring the spiritual satisfaction that we crave. Only an intimate encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ can bring what our souls desire.

    An Encounter with the Risen Lord Christianity and the Bible make a lot of promises. When we tell people about Christ we promise them fulfillment: peace, and joy, and happiness.

    GRACE FOR THE CRIPPLED 2 SAMUEL 9: 1-13 INTRODUCTION: We use the word “grace” in many ways don’t we? We see a ballet dancers as they perform and say, "They move with such grace!"

    Some people try to ignore the devil, hoping that if they refuse to acknowledge him he won’t acknowledge them. Hoping that if they ignore him he’ll just go away. That doesn’t help! That doesn’t work because that is a plan hatched by an imperfect being that

    based on 80 ratings
     | 20,287 views

    When God’s people returned to Jerusalem after nearly a century of exile, they found their city in ruins. The Temple of God–where they believed God lived–was destroyed. This is a story about how God’s people plugged in to His supernatural power.

    Are You Plugged in to Celebrate God’s Goodness? Ezra 3:10-13 by Dr. David O. Dykes INTRODUCTION I have a light here, but it’s not doing what it was created to do. It’s not shining. The reason it isn’t fulfilling its purpose for existence is because it isn’t plugged in to a source of power. I’ve ...read more

    based on 45 ratings
     | 13,189 views

    I like to think that every Christian is born again with a spiritual toolbox. In your Christian toolbox are some basic tools. We all need to become experts in using these tools if we want to become mature Christians.

    CHRISTIAN TOOLBOX BASICS Let me see the hands of everyone who has a toolbox. (interview people “What do you have in your toolbox?” - (next person) “Do you have anything different in your toolbox?” “Why do you have a toolbox?” “What would your life be like without your tools?”) I like to ...read more

     | 42,592 views

    Luke 15 contains three parables about lost items. In each story, extreme measures are taken to seek the lost; when each is found, there is great rejoicing. These stories are pictures of how God seeks us and the joy heaven experiences when we are found.

    What Makes Heaven Happy? Luke 15:1-10 by David O. Dykes INTRODUCTION What are the greatest chapters in the Bible? If I compiled a top five list, I think Psalm 23 would be near the top, along with Romans 8, and the third chapter of John. I would also add Luke 15 to the short list of the greatest ...read more

    based on 93 ratings
     | 59,682 views

    You and I are limited in space ­ but God is omnipresent. Our knowledge is limited ­ but God is omniscient. We are more aware of our weakness, than our power ­ and God is omnipotent, or all-powerful.

    Our Omnipotent God I heard recently about a 747 jetliner that was halfway across the Atlantic when the captain got on the loudspeaker and said, “Ladies and Gentlemen, we have lost one of our engines, but we can still reach London with the three we have left.
