    The Weight Of A Few Words - At Thy Word

    Contributed by Loyd C. Taylor on Aug 21, 2023
     | 1,886 views

    In this sermon we look at the weight of a few words, or how just a few words spoken by Christ had a major impact on the lives of those who listened and obeyed.

    INTRODUCTION: We so seldom think about the impact that our words have on those who are listening, however in many cases we find others hanging onto our words. This is especially true of preachers, so we must be careful what we say. Our words can have a negative or a positive outcome, I’m sure we ...read more

    1. The importance of listening to and obeying Jesus. 2. Encountering God when our resources are depleted. 3. The necessity of casting our nets where the fish are.

    Today's scripture takes place on the Sea of Tiberias (also known as the Sea of Galilee). The disciples, feeling down after the tragic events leading to Jesus' death, have returned to their fishing profession in Galilee. They have spent the entire night fishing but caught nothing. As they head to ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 277 views

    Trusting God means obeying Him even when the path is unclear; true faith is shown through daily, courageous steps of obedience rooted in His promises.

    Some mornings feel like a fog has rolled in and parked on the path right in front of you. You can see your feet, maybe the next step, yet the road ahead stays hidden. Bills stack up, doctors call back, kids cry, doors close, and the heart whispers, “Lord, what do I do now?” In moments like these, ...read more

    God meets us in our lack, multiplying our small offerings when we trust and obey, providing compassion, provision, and unexpected grace in every need.

    Maybe your week felt like five loaves and two fish—too little for too many needs. Maybe your resources look like the bottom of a flour barrel—dusty, empty, and echoing. Or maybe you’ve been sitting at the edge of decisions like those four lepers outside Samaria’s gate, wondering, “Why sit here ...read more

     | 88 views

    God’s Word provides steady guidance and comfort in life’s uncertainties, offering just enough light for each step as we trust and obey Him.

    There’s a memory some of us share. The wind howled, the house sighed, and then—click—darkness. The power cut out, and every familiar hallway turned into a maze. You reached for a drawer, found an old flashlight, and with a small circle of light, you made your way. Not floodlights. Not daylight. ...read more

    Our words and promises carry deep consequences; God calls us to speak carefully, obey courageously, and trust His grace even when we fail.

    Friend, your words carry weight. Promises shape people. Vows mark moments. We know the power of a whispered “I do,” the gravity of “I’ll be there,” and the ache of “I’m sorry.” Words can build bridges, and words can burn them. Have you ever wished you could take a sentence back? Have you ever felt ...read more

    An examination of the meeting of Jesus and Pontius Pilate and the lessons that can be gained from their encounter, concerning the nature of civil authority and our relationship to it.

    The Jewish authorities wanted Jesus dead but were unwilling to kill Him themselves because they did not wish to lose favor with the common people who believed in Jesus. They wanted Rome to do it. They wanted Rome to take the blame. The evil Jewish authorities played Pontius Pilate like a fiddle to ...read more

    Apostolic church faced human resource issues. Apostles needed to delegate authority so could concentrate on primary calling to pray and preach.

    Introduction Running a church sometimes just takes common sense. Real problems arise in the Church just like any other institution, however, through prayer, cooperation within the Body of Christ, and some thought even the most complex problems can be solved.
