    Makings Of A Mother

    This message looks at the character of Abigal as she dealt with David and saved her home. Such character on behalf of a no good husband would certainly be stronger toward her future son with David

    The Makings of a Mom I Samuel 25 5-13-07 a.m. Mother’s Day (PDBC) Here’s a passage that deals with a woman but doesn’t really address here mothering ways. But as I read this passage I began to admire this woman. I thought if she displayed this type of devotion to a no good rotten drunk (and ...read more

    Gideon obeyed God immediately. Even though he was afraid, even though he knew the consequences of his actions were likely to be death, Gideon obeyed.

    Taking A Stand: Stories Of The People Of God Judges 6: 25-32 April 30, 2006 Intro: There comes a time when we need to take a stand for what it right. That is rarely easy – it often carries with it a price – but the cost is worth it. In the last book of CS Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia, called ...read more

    Stations of the Cross, Pt. 4

    IN HIS STEPS (MARK 15:21-22, MATTHEW 27:32-33, LUKE 23:26) The cross is what separates Christianity from other religions, the suffering Messiah from popular gurus and theological heavyweights from lightweights. Lois A. Cheney wrote a touching and thought-provoking poem on the cross: I stand ...read more

    The Unmistakable Mandate

    Jesus makes it clear that being a Christian is more than speaking in pious language, it’s more than a feeling or an experience. It’s being his partner in making love tangible.

    St. John 15:9-17 – The Unmistakable Mandate 9As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. 11These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy ...read more

    This sermon deals with the reality of blinded eyes and deafened ears of those who are in sin. May God help us to help take the blinders off and the ear plugs out!

    An elderly woman stood on a busy street corner, hesitant to cross because there was no traffic signal. As she waited, a gentleman came up beside her and asked, “May I cross over with you?” Relieved, she thanked him and took his arm. The path they took was anything but safe. The man seemed to be ...read more

    Forgiveness, and the Prodigal Son

    “…we should celebrate and rejoice, because your brother here was dead and has come to life; he was lost and is found.” These words from Luke 15:32, are the total expression of what God has done for us. In fact, they remind me of a story... There once was a young man who while not strong in his own ...read more

    Guard your heart above all else for it impacts everything you do

    GUARD YOUR HEART PROVERBS 4:20-27 I used to watch Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter on TV whenever I got a chance. So many times I thought for sure he would be fatally bitten by a snake, crushed and killed by a crocodile, or mauled to death by some wild beast. It was a shock and surprise to learn ...read more

    When Humans Don’t Make Sense To God

    Contributed by Timothy Cooley, Sr. on Sep 9, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,277 views

    "When the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" We talk about our disappointment with God, but is God ever puzzled by our lack of faith?

    The parable of the widow and the unjust judge relates to our disappointment with God. Like the mistreated widow, we often wonder why God allows so much pain and injustice to go on. We pray and pray and yet no answer comes. The righteous perish and the wicked flourish. Sometimes we even wonder, ...read more

    Life After Easter: Bewildered Or Bewondered?

     | 18,363 views

    After the resurrection, the followers of Jesus were in a harried state. Some of them were on the run, others were simply trying to make sense of what had happened. In the midst of our life circumstances, how does the Resurrected Christ make himself real

    Opener: I hope you had a bad Easter….I know you think I should be saying “I hope you had a good Easter”…but for today’s sermon, it might be better for you if you had a bad Easter. Because when you think back to the first Easter, the disciples weren’t gathering together early on Sunday, excited ...read more

    At our Christmas Eve service each year I tell a silly story which deals with an aspect of the Christmas story. This one has to do with the wisemen.

    There are lots of wisemen legends that have been perpetuated over the years. For example, it doesn’t say anywhere in the Bible that three kings visited Jesus bearing gifts. It’s just not there! First of all, they were “magi” or “wisemen” – perhaps astrology scholars – not kings – at least in the ...read more

    Will You Come?

    The beautiful old hymn "Will you come and follow Me" asks us all to consider our call from Christ, both as believers and as church families.

    Will You Follow? Last week we sang a hymn that we have sang before. Will You Come and Follow Me was one of the opening songs and I found myself lost in it for the first time. I ‘felt’ the words as I made my feeble attempt to sing. The words to this hymn are comprised of an ...read more

    God is not concerned with only the ways in which we think and believe; he’s concerned about the ways in which we act upon our beliefs.

    INTRO Have you ever watched Star Trek? Mr. Spock, “the pointy-earned Vulcan” who served as Captain Kirk’s first officer said, “Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” This quote is an offshoot from a scientific principle known as ...read more

    This is a study of Nathanael based on 12 Ordinary Men. It has a lot of added notes and scripture.

    Note: This is a study from the book 12 Ordinary Men by John McArthur an excellent book. There is also a fill in the blank outline from Adult Bible Fellowships of First Baptist Church Orion that I have posted in the series. This is not original but worth posting for study.
