The Miracles In John: Lesson 9: Miracles Of The 153 Fish

Contributed by Elmer Towns on Nov 17, 2005

“without Me you can do nothing” in John 15:5 is seen here. “With Christ we can do all things” (Phil. 4:13). The presence of Christ in our lives makes the difference.

1. Where did the miracle take place? Near Tiberias (John 6:1). 2. Name all the disciples in verse 2 (Peter, Thomas the Twin, Nathanael, James, John, Andrew and Philip (John 1:40, 43-44). 3.

Contributed by J. Yeargin on May 29, 2003

Have you ever found yourself looking for something you cannot find? It can be very frustrating. Nothing else will matter to us until we find what we are looking for. No matter what it is.

Jehovah Nissi Series

Contributed by Chip Van Emmerik on Nov 2, 2006

Certainly the Amalekites thought this would be an easy victory. They were battle tested, seasoned by experience. The Children of Israel were hardly worthy opponents. These recent slaves who wandered in the desert without adequate supplies were nothing but

Open If you ever have a chance to watch a re-enactment of a Civil War Battle, take the time to go. It is magnificent to watch the rows of charging foot soldiers, the feel the ground vibrate with the gallop of the cavalry and hear the thunder of the cannons as they bellow on the field.

A Life Of Accomplishment

Contributed by Dan Bentz on Aug 22, 2002

I don’t think we serve a second rate God that is happy with our leftovers. If really believe that there is none like God, then there should be nothing like the commitments and sacrifices we are willing to make to please Him.

How To Live Confidently Part I

Contributed by David Scudder on Aug 21, 2010

God expects His followers to live confidently for Him. This has nothing to do with self-confidence, but it has everything to do with God-confidence. Christians should not be wimps because it takes real courage to follow Jesus Christ.

Purpose: To show the importance of following the Lord wholeheartedly. Aim: I want the listener to determine to follow Christ regardless of the cost.

Two Things God Needs Series

Contributed by Carl Allen on May 18, 2009

What does God need from each and every Christian. Really nothing at all, but God is gracious enough to allow us to be his helpers in the Great Commission. So what two things are we too give.

Two Things God Needs Matthew 28:18-20 Intro The Great Commission is a New Testament statement of God’s great eternal plan of redemption. It has always been his purpose and always will be. Jesus issued the proclamation: “All authority is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” This authority is ...read more

Breakthrough For Joy

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 2, 2010

Every now and then something happens, after a long struggle, to give us a breakthrough. So with God in Christ, planning from the foundation of time for the cross and achieving a breakthrough victory at the empty tomb. So count nothing impossible.

Every now and again, in human history, we achieve a breakthrough. Something which we have worked for, hoped for, fought and died for, finally happens. There has been struggle and agony and seemingly endless defeat, but suddenly it all works out. That’s called a breakthrough. You know the feeling. ...read more

"Round And Round We Go" Series

Contributed by Julio Gonzalez on Feb 12, 2009

If we look at life only from the viewpoint of the natural physical man, it can get very discouraging. Life is nothing more than one big “rat race.” That is what Solomon is seeing in this first chapter of Ecclesiastes.

"Round and Round We Go" Eccl. 1:4-18 Rev. Julio González The older we get, the more we begin to see life as an endless cycle. Babies are born, then they grow older and then they die. Then more babies are born. It rains, the sun shines for a while and then it rains again. We work, we eat, we sleep ...read more

How To Give To God

Contributed by David Scudder on Oct 24, 2010

Using guilt to get people to give money to the Lord’s work is wrong, but it is a temptation because 37% of regular church attenders give nothing to the church, 33% of them engage in at least some form of gambling.

Part I Purpose: To lay out God's parameters for giving. Aim: I want the listener to examine how they give to God and make any changes that are contrary to God's design for giving.

An Amazing Catch

Contributed by Gaither Bailey on Feb 8, 2007

We will never witness miracles by living in disobedience to God’s call, by doing nothing or by continuing to do what has not worked in the past. We are not called to the safety of the shoreline; but to “put out into deep water, attempting the impossible!

Luke 5: 1 – 11 An Amazing Catch Intro: Normally, when your hear someone talk about a person who is really fussy about the way their hair looks, you think they are talking about a woman.

A Religion Of Convenience

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Apr 8, 2013

We live in an age of convenience. There's nothing wrong with convenience per se. The danger is when we look for a Christianity of convenience rather than sacrifice and commitment. This sermon looks at "convenience Christianity" from several angles.

Power To Succeed Series

Contributed by Barry L. Davis on May 2, 2013

The fact is, there is nothing in the Bible to suggest that God has quit working with power through His people – and I have come to the conclusion that the fault does not lie with God, but with those of us who claim to follow Him.

The book of Acts found in your Bibles records for us the history of the early church and how God used ordinary people to build His kingdom. While we call it the “Acts of the Apostles” it would be more accurate to call it the “Acts of the Holy Spirit” as it was the Holy Spirit moving through, in, ...read more

Weary Hands

Contributed by Bala Samson on Oct 1, 2014

If you are going through constant problems in your family, nothing but only PRAYER can give you deliverance. When the enemy deliberately brings you into combat, it is all the more imperative for us to stand against him.
