    Psalm 136 (Kjv) Title: His Loving Kindness Endures Forever Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 26, 2020
     | 11,188 views

    The theme of this psalm isT “mercy’s vast unfathomable sea.” God’s love is deeper, far deeper than that. The psalmist looks first at God’s goodness manifested in His “mercy.” The word for mercy is the usual word for grace or lovingkindness. That “mercy endures forever.”

    3/25/20 Tom Lowe Psalm 136 (KJV) 1O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever. 2O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth forever. 3O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever. 4To him who alone doeth great wonders: ...read more

    The whining of the people of Israel following God's deliverance from slavery is too often echoed among the churches of this day. Grumbling is a serious sin against God, inviting His divine judgement.

    “The people complained in the hearing of the LORD about their misfortunes, and when the LORD heard it, his anger was kindled, and the fire of the LORD burned among them and consumed some outlying parts of the camp. Then the people cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to the LORD, and the fire died ...read more

    it can be hard to see what something really is, so we have to back up and look at what it really is and what its really trying to say. we have to do that with scripture too.

    Sent With Power And Authority: Breaking Boundaries Luke 9:1-6 March 22, 2008 Lent #4 Intro: (extreme close up pictures guessing game) Obviously, it can be hard to tell what something is when we get too close to it, so then what we need to do is back up a bit so we can see the bigger picture. ...read more

    Our encouragement today should be that almost two thousand years ago another small church, planted in a community probably not too unlike our own, became a model for other new churches throughout the world.

    Examples Set By a Healthy Church First Thessalonians 1:5-7 Preached by Pastor Tony Miano Pico Canyon Community Church October 8, 2000 Introduction: Last week we looked at three characteristics or building blocks essential to building a healthy church.

    Reacting Or Responding?

     | 12,479 views

    The disciples ‘reacted’ to the behavior of the Samaritans by wanting to harm them: Bad for bad, tit-for-tat. And is it not true of us today too? But what did Jesus say to His disciples and us today about it?

    OPENING > And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. And they did not receive him, because his ...read more

    Lessons From A Dollar Bill

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Apr 1, 2021

    There are many ways we can learn to "see" God and His hand. Jesus used nature at times. He also used a coin to point to God. Our money points to Him, too.

    1. Matthew 22:15-22 15 Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to entangle him in his words. 16 And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are true and teach the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone's opinion, for you ...read more

    We are so busy. Are we too busy to pray? What do we pray for? Does AMEN mean we are disconnecting God and getting back to life -- or does it mean something else?

    There are 5 Presbyterian congregations in Iraq, and lately, I have been writing and receiving email from some of their pastors and elders. I told them about our 24 hour prayer vigil. They were very, very impressed. Looking back, I realize, I might have given them the wrong impression. I’m going ...read more

    Pentecost 11(C) - People must guard against all greed because all too many trust only in earthly riches. Believers guard against greed by being rich toward God.

    Unforgiveness is a poison. It blocks answer to prayers. You have carried this pain and hurts for too long, now it's the time to drop it. It's the dawn of a new season.

    FORGIVE AND BE FREE! Genesis 41:51-52. "And to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. 51 Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: “For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father’s ...read more

    Have you ever felt like there was no light at the end of the tunnel & that God was far away? When you’re hurting & need God most, it may be that you can't sense His presence. The question is what will you do when God turns off the lights?

     | 7,163 views

    All of us are running in this world. Some are running to God, some trying to run away from Him. How far will they go? We should be running in a spiritual way. All our focus needs to be on the tomb where Jesus rose to new life and will take us with him to

    Opening illustration: I think of Eric Liddell. The movie Chariots of Fire depicts how his sister Jenny tried to persuade Eric to give up his running, and go to China with her to be a missionary. He said, "No, God has made me fast and called me to run." It would have been wrong at that point to be a ...read more

    The New Man is something different, amazing and too complex for the human mind to comprehend. He is not the same with the man before the fall. No! A thousand times more glorious that the Edenic State of Adam. He was born on the resurrection day.

    I am not here this morning to teach another sermon to you. I know you might have heard it all these years that Jesus died and God raised Him up on the third day. Every Easter Sunday comes with this message almost everywhere, but Last week, as I sat in my study room walking up and down the ladder ...read more

    Today, too many couples scarcely relate to each other, after years of marriage. Many other activities, responsibilities and interests seem to crowd out the importance of a happy marital relationship for millions in America.

    Being in the right place at the right time is something we all too often write off as coincidence. But what if it were orchestrated by God, what if it were one of God's divine appointments for our lives.

    Bunbury Sun am 16/01/11 “God’s appointments” Intro: *** Amongst the many stories of bravery during the Queensland floods an unconfirmed story has emerged in the media of a man who apparently made his way onto a bridge w/ flood waters lapping at the bridge. The man had seen a ...read more

    God specializes in impossible things. When we encounter those things over which we have no control, who better to turn to than the God of impossibilities, because nothing is too impossible for God.

    Jeremiah 32:17, 27; Luke 1:37; 18:27 Robert Schuller in his book, Move Ahead with Possibility Thinking begins the book with these questions: Are you limping when you could be walking strong; whimpering when you could be whistling; crying when you could be laughing?
