    When God Spoke Through An Ass

    Contributed by Jeffery Russell on Dec 6, 2007
    based on 30 ratings
     | 28,567 views

    Don’t Worry, its not what you think. The Biblical (KJV) word for donkey is often a synonym for a fool. But as we will find, Balaam’s talking donkey was more wise than he was, and wiser than some we may meet.

    When God Spoke Through An Ass Joshua 13:22, Num 22:21-35 How would you feel if an animal spoke to you? The story is told of a man who bought a beautiful, exotic, tropical parrot from a local pet store. The pet store owner said that the parrot could talk and after demonstrating a few sentences ...read more

    Knowledge Puffs Up But Love Edifies

    Contributed by Mitch Davis on Jun 22, 2007
     | 4,919 views

    We all have knowledge (or, at least we think we do) but such does not build up the body of Christ. Too many professing Christianity actually tear down the body of Christ with their knowledge instead of building it up with the love God demands.

    Knowledge Puffs Up But Love Edifies Theme: Considering the conscience of your brother. 1 Corinthians 8 INTRODUCTION A. Within the body of Christ will arise issues that are deemed doctrinal by some and opinion by others. 1. Both sides believe they have the truth on the divisive subject. 2. Such was ...read more

    Beyond Help? Series

    When a five times divorcee who now has a live in boyfriend meets Jesus, what do you think will happen? John’s gospel reveals that honest hearts, even those laden with sin, can still hear His call.

    Beyond all Hope? 1 Tim. 1:12-16 records Paul’s confession and testimony of God’s grace in his life. Paul basically says, "If Jesus can save me, he can save anyone!" Have you ever known someone who was beyond help? Here in John 4 Jesus meets a woman whose life is a string of broken ...read more

    Jesus is a lot of things to us-Lord, King, Savior. But there’s one thing that Jesus is that we might not think about very often-a friend. Let’s find out more about that wonderful aspect of Jesus.

    HEY, FRIEND! INTRODUCTION: It’s nice to have friends isn’t it? It’s nice to know that there’s someone you can call on in a time of need, someone who you can discuss things with, someone you can turn to when you’re dealing with something. It’s good to have people ...read more

    What does it mean to live 'not of this world' whilst living in the midst of so much pain. This sermon challenges us to think about the importance of our relationship with God, and to ask the difficult questions that at times we are too afraid to ask.

    In the name of the living God Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

    The Power Of Forgivness Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021
     | 2,984 views

    One of the things I love about this prayer is that it doesn’t pretend there aren’t real problems around us. It confronts the real needs in the world – pain and hunger. The Lord’s Prayer is designed to change our priorities and to reverse our thinking.

    This is the fourth message for us to look at the Lord’s Prayer. And it’s the richest single source in the entire Bible of information on how to pray. One story stands out about the importance of the Lord’s Prayer in the life of a Christian is from a gentleman who attends at NRH, Mike O’Neil. Mike ...read more

    Many times we think our situation is beyond hope. We're tempted to accept the natural, inevitable outcome. But are we calculating without God? What if we served a God of miracles! Could things be different? A thousand times YES!

    DON’T SAY GOD CAN’T 2 Kings 6:25; 7:1-2 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: I’ve Heard Crazier Things 1. When King George VI was a boy, he and his older brother Edward were standing at the window of their palace looking out on the snow-covered city. Just off the palace grounds they could see a mob of common ...read more

     | 5,415 views

    Hebrews 2:1-4 conveys three important messages: - to pay greater attention to what we have heard (v. 1) - not to ignore the great Salvation of the Lord (v. 3) and - to think of great signs and wonders of the Holy Spirit (v. 4)

    Hebrews 2:1-4 GREAT SALVATION Introduction: The book of Hebrews is trying to make us understand that Christ is above all things, all persons and all glories. Nothing else and no one can replace Jesus Christ on earth and in heavenly places. The author of the Hebrews writes the greatness of Jesus ...read more

     | 7,874 views

    William Gladstone said, "Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race." Think about it; if everyone just looked out for #1 then no one would be satisfied; including #1. I can gain a lot by being selfish...except what's truly important.

    GOD IS UNSELFISH William Gladstone said, "Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race." If you think about that there's much truth in it. If everyone just looked out for #1 then no one would be satisfied; including #1. There's a lot to be gained by being selfish except what matters most. ...read more

     | 7,724 views

    Don’t get caught up in only believing the possibilities of what you think is happening in the now or have seen in the past! Because no matter where you are at in life, He wants you to dream bigger than your efforts are capable of delivering.

    The Easy Button... How many of you here this morning remember the easy button commercial Staples launched February 3 2005? Every time someone got in a situation that seemed impossible to figure out, all they had to do was push the easy button and everything magically worked out perfectly without ...read more

    Undeserved - A God Who Loves Anyway

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,183 views

    In the context of White Privilege, we sometimes think God loves us because we are lovable. Quite the opposite, God calls us when we aren't worthy or even very lovable. Responding to a God who brings laughter.

    Sermon: Undeserved • Sarah and Abraham were unworthy but God gave them Isaac (laughter) anyway. • We were undeserving, but Jesus died for us anyway. • If we know God loves us even if we are undeserving, how should we act towards others? I was speaking with a group of pastors this week about ...read more

     | 22,823 views

    The problem is, when we hear the word mountain, we immediately relate it to our own capabilities. And we begin to think literally about how much dynamite and explosives it would take to move "our heaven and earth" size of dilemma, or mountain!

    When the mountain won't move... Illus. By James Davis Some time ago a man was staying in a chalet in the Swiss Alps. Early one morning he heard what sounded like an earthquake. Hurriedly he got out of bed and ran to the front desk and asked if there was something wrong, if the mountains were ...read more

    This is the first part of a series on the book of Joshua. Moses is dead and it is time to get ready because God is moving His people over Jordan. They has been in the wilderness for forty years and one might think they were ready. It's time... three days!

    INTRODUCTION: The book of Joshua begins the second major division in the English Bible known as the “Historical Books.” Much has happened in the lives of the Israelites. They have spent 400 years in bondage. Led by Moses, they have crossed the Red Sea. They have spent forty years ...read more

    Heaven is so much more than something to think about when we're old. The mission Christ calls his body to has a reason, an end and a destination. We're working for something and toward something. That something we call heaven.

    This 85 year old couple, having been married almost 60 years, died in a car crash. They had been in good health the last ten years mainly due to her interest in health food, and exercise.

    Making God Rejoice Over Us!

     | 11,459 views

    Often we think that we need to offer God our Praise, Adoration, Applauds and Rejoice but the opposite is also true. God also rejoices over us when we choose to do the right things. Here is a detailed sermon to understand this principle.

    Zephaniah 3:17; Genesis 1:27; Isaiah 62:5; Psalms 103:8-10; Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.
