    How do we discover why we were born? We have to overcome: 1. Discouragement 2. Doubt 3. Obstacles 4. We have to remain faithful

    Gideon: Discovering Why You Were Born Judges 6:1-14 I have to confess that I used to like to watch American Idol. And the best part of the season was when all the wannabees come out for the auditions. I lose interest when it is narrowed down to the last 50 who actually have some talent. It is ...read more

    There are road signs everywhere we go. This sermon ties in a spiritual meaning with a subdivision road sign. Sometimes an obstacle, or hill, blocks a clear view of God's work in our lives.

    The cycle, which began in Egypt continued: • God does something great….. The people rejoice. • An apparent obstacle appears…. The people complain. • God does something great….. The people rejoice.

    March 08, 2025 Last week, we left Israel on the edge of the desert of Shur. They had just witnessed the power of God in the destruction of the Egyptian Army in the Red Sea and now the greatest adventure of their lives was about to begin.

    A Miraculous Birth Youth Sermon

     | 597 views

    Just like Mary, we are chosen to be dwelling places for God. However, we often face obstacles of unworthiness, unbelief, and unwillingness that hinder the Holy Spirit's work in our lives.

    In the Bible, Luke tells us that the Holy Spirit did something amazing in Mary. She became pregnant with Jesus, even though she was a virgin. She was just a regular girl, but she became the mother of Jesus. That's like pulling a rabbit out of a hat, right? And just like Mary, God wants to do ...read more

    Nobody likes a fake! Jesus was the “real deal”—truly the Son of God, and again He proved it when He forgave a paralytic his sins and healed him of his infirmity.

    Faith, Sin, To Overcome: Skylight Installation Guide Series

    Contributed by Peter Loughman on Jun 30, 2007
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,575 views

    Sometimes faith means moving through obstacles. We also see healing and forgiveness go hand in hand. The friends have enough faith to get the paralytic before Jesus - Then Jesus proves he has the authority to forgive.

    Last week, as we ended chapter one, we saw that Jesus is the authority. This week, as we start chapter two, we see an intensification of this theme, Jesus is the divine authority, for not only does He have the authority to heal, as we saw in chapter one, but he also has the authority to forgive ...read more

    Love does not give up no matter what is faces, no matter the obstacles in its path, no matter what those around you might be saying, love does not give up it is determined.

    I came across an article in the paper this week that had the heading ’Mother’s Love and Determination’. And the sub title ’Refusing to give up, Cynthia Teare helped her son to walk again’. It caught my attention because our theme today is ’Love is... determined’. And it’s the story of an 11 year ...read more

    For most of us, the easiest way to create a happy life is by simply living according to how we want it to be. There are too many obstacles life and we simply want to choose the shortcuts.

    The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread. – Mother Teresa For most of us, the easiest way to create a happy life is by simply living according to how we want everything to be.

    Matthew 5:14-16 (NIV) "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.

     | 7,487 views

    Two obstacles must be removed before we may receive the peace God wants to give us, so long delayed and frustrated: our false pride and our negative spirit of self-accusation. Then His victory will be ours.

    The neighborhood, if you could call it that, was one of the most rundown and poverty-stricken in the city. For fifty years the housing had decayed, and, as the original residents left, absentee landlords jammed far too many people into the old dwellings.

    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,579 views

    While we search for a land of milk and honey, we often find nothing but green grass. With patience and love and effort green grass can turn into milk. OBSTACLES ARE WHAT YOU SEE WHEN YOU LOSE SIGHT OF GOD AND THE GOAL. DRY WELLS WILL PRODUCE EMPTY BUCKETS
