    God's Plan For Families

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Apr 30, 2001
    based on 91 ratings
     | 27,902 views

    Families are a place where: 1. We learn to glorify God and live for him. 2. We receive love and nurturing. 3. We learn about values and character.

    The American Family is being totally redefined today. It can mean almost anything, and anyone who thinks that it should mean one man, one woman and the children that God may bless them with is seen as someone who is out of step, and even a threat to the culture. Family may mean one man and one ...read more

    What did King David, who was known as a man with a heart for God, do to nurture his relationship with the Father? Sought God through learning, worship, prayer and obedience.

    One thing I ask… Intimacy with God 4/28/02 By Brad Dyrness If we really sing what we live, our hymn titles we sing would read something like this:  Instead of showers…"THERE SHALL BE SPRINKLES OF BLESSING"  Instead of telling… "I LOVE TO MUMBLE THE STORY"  Not soldiers but ...read more

     | 8,738 views

    The Children of Israel begin the period of the Judges well, but begin to neglect their relationship with God and this leads to defeat, much as the Christian who does not nurture that relationship with exist in the weakened flesh.

    When I was in junior high a Catholic priest came to visit my debate class. I know, today a visit to a public school by a religious official would warrant calling out the SWAT team and raising the terror alert to red, but it was a different nation in those days. Anyway, I remember this gentleman ...read more

    Christian Follow-Up

    Contributed by Nnaemeka Durueke on Nov 22, 2017
     | 13,760 views

    A new believer is tender and needs to be nurtured for spiritual growth. When such is not done it may affect the faith of the believer or tell on him if he grows without the rudiments of the Christian faith.

    THEME- POPULATING GOD’S KINGDOM TOPIC- FOLLOW UP TEXT- ACTS 15:36-41 INTRODUCTION The term follow up is scriptural and it is very important if we need a healthy, mature and established church. Follow up is likened to the mother-child relationship. A mother that gives birth to a child should stay ...read more

    We respond to God’s grace and nurture our relationship with God by observing a day of rest. The world can get along without our involvement (for a day).

    Exodus 20:3-11 “The Gift of Rest” INTRODUCTION We have a problem. A lack of sleep among the U.S. workforce is costing approximately $411 billion and losing 1.2 million working days per year, a new study has found. The study also found that that a person who sleeps on average less than six ...read more

    Paul’s concern that his flock are being deceived, and the deceptions we face today. This was preached on Bible Sunday, so ends with and emphasis on the Bible as the way to avoid being deceived.

    Do not be decieved - Colossians 2:1-5 Deception Paul is worried. He is struggling for the believers at Collosae and Laodicea. There are some new ideas being spoken about. They are questioning Christ’s divinity. We have already heard the message that Paul gave a couple of weeks back – The ...read more

    9th in long series on Joshua, 2nd of 2 on mass circumcision in ch.5. This deals with being a part of a family, using the well-used illustration of a flock of geese.

    Joshua 5:1-9 – Family Ties (Nowheres near an original thought, but good nonetheless...) Today I’d like to do something different. Today’s a bit different from most, so I’m putting a twist on my scripture today, out of the ordinary for me anyway. Let’s read Joshua 5:1-9. So the Israelites ...read more

    Christians have the opportunity, just as they did during the plagues and epidemics of history, to distinguish themselves from the world. It is the Preacher’s responsibility to lead the flock during this pandemic for that very purpose.

    TITLE: TRUSTING GOD SCRIPTURE: EPHESIANS 3:14-21 There are several things I want to address in this morning’s message that don’t necessarily all flow together very smoothly. But I think that’s okay. If you find anything these days that’s flowing together smoothly, please let me know. In this ...read more

    The Credible Christian woman will be found if she nurtures her inner being, if she is being herself, if she is being satisfied with the occupation in which she is engaged and if she will be present to others.

    (By Di Appleby) ’For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven’. I think women know a lot about seasons. It’s tied up with our biology – we keep on experiencing changes. When we first menstruate, we come to realise that we are part of a sisterhood that shares a ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,443 views

    Children are gifts from God. Christian parents should recognise that they are care givers, trusted with a charge to raise and nurture godly children for God. It is an arduous but rewarding task if properly executed.

    TEXT: PSALMS 127:3-5 (NLT) "Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him. Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior’s hands. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them! He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city ...read more

    Paralysis By Analysis

    Contributed by Jack Warford on Apr 13, 2001
    based on 104 ratings
     | 4,442 views

    Many churches today have a paralysis brought on by analysis; they are so busy gathering and reporting numbers that their lambs and sheep are not being fed, and their flock is not being cared for. Resulting in spiritual paralysis.

    Why are we so fixated on counting numbers? Why do most pastors think of success as it relates to numbers? Nowhere in the Bible does Jesus tell us to count the sheep. He tells Peter if you love Me then you will feed my lambs, care for my sheep, and feed my sheep. Many churches today have a ...read more
