    Words: Consider The Source Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Aug 31, 2021
     | 1,847 views

    Seriously, though, there is a difference. God’s Word has power to propel us through life in Godliness, the word of man has some power, and the word of agitators can have a good dose of negative power. When it comes to words, we need to consider the source.

    Words: Consider the Source (Proverbs 29:18, 19, 21, 22) 1. None of us doubt the power of words. This story illustrates it. 2. A group of Frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other Frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, ...read more

    The people we associate with have a powerful influence on our thoughts, choices, and destinies. Relationships are like elevators—they either take you up or bring you down.

     | 7,630 views

    If anyone had ever had a reason to be afraid and discouraged it would have been Paul as we find him here in a Roman jail writing to one of his closest friends. How can we have a positive outlook when we are living in a negative situation?

    Our Victory is Certain II Timothy 4:16-18 Purpose: To describe the commitment we should have to serving Christ. Aim: I want the listener to be inspired to stand up for Christ every day without wavering. INTRODUCTION: If anyone had ever had a reason to be afraid and discouraged it would have ...read more

    My Testimony Series

    Contributed by Steve Shepherd on Nov 2, 2011
    based on 38 ratings
     | 21,247 views

    Let's think about Paul's personal testimony and how it relates to our lives. (two positives and a negative) 1- He did not preach a made-up gospel 2- He did persecute believers in the past 3- He did receive a call from God

    INTRO.- Do you have a testimony? Yes, whether you realize it or not. Every human has a testimony or is a living testimony. ILL.- For example, let me name some people and you say the word or words that immediately come to your mind that reminds you of these people: Babe Ruth, Lance Armstrong, ...read more

    Paul’s Testimony- A Revelation Of Jesus Christ Pt.5

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Jul 17, 2016
     | 4,373 views

    Paul begins with three negatives, likely direct disproof of his opponents’ claims that Paul’s credentials were untrustworthy. 1. Paul’s gospel was not according to man. 2. It was not received from man. 3. It had not been taught to him.

    Paul’s Testimony- A Revelation Of Jesus Christ Pt.5 Text: Galatians 1:11-24NASB A family from a remote area made their very first visit to the big city. They checked into the Grand Hotel and stood in amazement at the impressive sight. As Dad signed in at the reception desk, Mom and ...read more

    based on 17 ratings
     | 9,954 views

    Play God Day is "celebrated" on January 9th and encourages people to do something nice for others. That's good. But "playing God" also has a negative side. What's wrong with "playing God" and how do I recognize if I'm falling into that trap?

    This is the 2nd in our series of “holidays” in January you probably haven’t heard of. This one is called the “Play God Day” and its “observed” on January 9th each year. According to www.cute_calendar.com: “The day encourages you to do something ...read more

    Let Your Light Shine

     | 15,831 views

    Shining your light is about making a mark, making a difference, ignoring the negative opinion of others and being a positive influencer. Your light is the most wonderful parts of your life that reflects your special character and the way you will influence the world by sharing the love of Jesus .

    What does it mean to shine your light? I believe shining your light is about making a mark, making a difference, ignoring the negative opinion of others and being a positive influencer.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,568 views

    The world thinks that if they could just change their circumstances, they could avoid stress and worry... and could have the peace they crave. But Jesus said that won't work. In this world we are guaranteed to have trouble. But Jesus promises us a peace that the world cannot give.

    This is the last in our sermon series - entitled “One Thing”. We’ve been focusing on ONE WORD in Scripture that sums up a basic Bible truth, and today’s word is PEACE. Jesus said “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be ...read more

    Saved From Hell

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Aug 6, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,108 views

    Many pastors do not want to preach on HELL fearing they’ll not appear relevant. It’s pressure from the culture to not speak anything negative. Apparently we have begun to deny hell. There’s an assumption that everybody’s going to make it to heaven somehow

    Opening illustration: Video of ‘HELL’ from center of the earth. Introduction: Many pastors do shy away from the topic of everlasting damnation. "It’s out of fear they’ll not appear relevant. It’s pressure from the culture to not speak anything negative. I believe we’ve begun to deny hell. There’s ...read more

    Others Can’t Do It, But God Can!

    based on 26 ratings
     | 20,257 views

    The more you seek His word and what He has promised you, the more you will be blessed! Tune out the negative and focus on Gods positive word in and over your life and hold on, because He will exceed every expectation you place before Him,

    Others can’t but God can! Romans 3:3 NKJ 3. For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? Gods faithfulness, is not based on our faithfulness, or on the faithfulness of those who are around us. TBS.(the bible says) no matter what, He remains ...read more

    Two weeks ago I preached on sweet and sour fellowship. Today I want to talk about sweet and sour encouragement. It sounds strange but there are ways in which we can be negatively encouraging. Let’s take a look at how encouragement can be sweet or sour.

    Humans are complex beings. We have many different aspects, such as the physical, intellectual, social, spiritual, or emotional aspects. Because of sin, we experience negative feelings that, if left unmanaged, can bother us, disturb our daily activities, and eventually destroy our lives
