    Suffering is a normal part of life that God allows us to experience. This outline examines five principles of why God allows suffering.

    Five reasons why God allows suffering 1 1 Suffering comes with the freedom to chose what you want to do. God does not make us robots but allows us to make our own choices. Choices that can make us feel pain when we make the wrong choice. 2 The pain of suffering can warn us of when we are headed ...read more

    David & Bathsheba: How To Not Be A Man After God's Own Heart Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jul 28, 2023
     | 1,753 views

    Normally the King would lead the armies in battle. But instead, King David sends out Joab and he stays behind at the palace.

    The title of this message is “How to not be a man after God’s own heart.” So, if you want to follow God and love God and live for God, just do the opposite of everything in 2nd Samuel chapter 11. There are two incidents that are the most famous in David’s life. The first is of course David’s ...read more

    Lesson 21: Do Not Conform To Their Sinfulness Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 10, 2018
     | 6,155 views

    The danger is that we begin to think of the morally abnormal as normal and the things that tend to cause moral carelessness as matters of indifference. Christ-like love banishes the indecent.

     | 2,796 views

    Joshua’s posture was one of grief and prayer. God saw it as inappropriate. There is a time when it is a sin to pray. It is that time when God expects us to act.

    Who has a monopoly on God? Everyone likes to think that God is on their side. 9/11 (2001) remains etched on our minds. Many people praised the Lord crediting Him with interrupting their normal routine so that they were not at work when the jet liners ran through the towers bringing both towers to ...read more

    I used this sermon as one of several in a series on Clay Pots (Earthen Vessels). This was the one I used on Father’s Day during that series.

    I recently came across a Chinese parable that eludes to our thoughts for today’s text. It’s a tale about a water-bearer and his two pots of clay. An elderly peasant had two large clay pots. One of the pots had a crack down its side to a point about half way. The other pot, perfect! Each had been ...read more
