    Breath Of God Or Copd?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 4, 2023

     | 3,834 views

    I believe the modern church is suffering from spiritual COPD; we’re not getting the Breath of life from God often enough to animate us, transform us, heal & renew us, and help us overcome. God's Breath is our source of life, gives us purpose, & power.

    BREATH OF GOD OR COPD? Job 33:4 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A man wanted to be a salesman, but he stuttered very badly. Then he saw an ad for a job as a Bible salesman for the Bible Society, and he decided to apply. 2. At the interview, they heard him stutter and said, "We're sorry, ...read more

    Hometown. Comfortable confines. Known streets. Familiar sights. Our people. Our mission field? Our challenge? Our assignment?

    Hometown Pt. 3 - Playing Keep Away Introduction Apathy. It is the target of our attack. It is the epidemic of our day. We are swamped with the "I don't cares!"

    You Are Our Glory

    Those who have sowed and nurtured seeds of faith will witness the profound transformation as those they guided to Christ receive heavenly bodies before their very eyes. They will behold the moment when Christ bestows upon them crowns of righteousness, a testament to their faithful labor in His name!

    You are Our Glory 1 Thessalonians 2:17-20 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 As we look out into this world with its disdain and violence towards God’s righteousness, we are tempted to feel like being the sheep who are called to proclaim the Good News to the wolves is at ...read more

    We all have moments and seasons of uncertainty. Jesus will walk us through if we stick with him. I modified this sermon from the notes of my friend Pastor Paul Rivero.

    Uncertainty I. TEXT: Luke 8:40-56 (NKJV) "So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him. 41 And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue.

    If God answers all prayers, then why do we sometimes not get what we ask for?

    JAMES 5:13-20 “Answered Prayer” By: Rev. Kenneth Emerson Sauer, Pastor of Parkview United Methodist Church, Newport News, VA I’ve heard a lot about answered prayer over the past week and a half.

    Flasks Of Oil!

    Alas, at the last minute the foolish ones ran out of stock and thus they missed the bridegroom and the marriage feast, and the door was shut!

    Flasks of oil! Mathew 25:4” the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps.” Christian faith is disconcertingly shallow, as shallow as a puddle of water on a sidewalk these days! People daringly confess, “ I have no time for prayer, fasting or Bible reading! I’m just busy, ...read more

    God knows how to open the door of opportunity to us to do his work. And though there are many that oppose his work, none can impede it. Even the gates of hell cannot prevail against it! I Cor 16:9, "For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries."

    In his letter to the Corinthians from Ephesus, Paul expresses his desire to reunite with the Corinthian converts and spend significant time with them. However, he acknowledges that he must wait until God completes His work in Ephesus, where a great and effective opportunity has been opened for him. ...read more
