    Contributed by Tim White on Aug 30, 2011
    based on 10 ratings
     | 15,618 views

    We want to heal and respond like Christ when we are offended and hurt, but where do we start? Help from the Psalmist David after his son betrayed him and broke his heart.

    * This Psalm was written by King David at the time when Absalom, his son, had taken over the capitol, Jerusalem, and David and those loyal to him were leaving. * It was his sad recollection of the sad parade leaving the palace. * It was in time of sad memories of his feelings of betrayal by one ...read more

     | 2,648 views

    Few identify fear, worry, being offended, annoyance, frustration, depression, anxiety, stress and panic attacks as some of the best tools our enemy has in his tool box. Paul shakes the snake in the fire.

    LAST DAYS SATANIC TOOLS: BEWARE By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com A LITTLE MORE OF JESUS AND A LITTLE LESS OF ME… Hebrews 12:12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; 13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of ...read more

  • True Repentance

    Contributed by Denise Raterta on Oct 14, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,737 views

    Backsliding itself is of course horrendous. But it gets doubly shameful and we’ll end up dishonoring God even more when we repent without fully knowing exactly how we have offended God.

    Seeing and hearing the reactions of different people in the midst of the recent calamities in the world, I find myself grieving because most of us, even the supposedly veteran believers, do not fully understand and recognize God’s clear message behind the events. We just hear and do what we like to ...read more

  • The Call To Discipleship

    Contributed by Vernon Price on Apr 11, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,722 views

    That is why the church of God must return to the preaching of the Cross. Yes, it offends. Yes, it alienates. Yes it is a stumbling block to many, and yes, it is sheer foolishness to others. But to those who believe, "It is the power of God unto salvation"

    The Call To Discipleship Imagine in your mind that you are a news reporter for station W-O-R-D in Jerusalem. You have been assigned the task of following some new religious fanatic who has appeared on the scene and seriously shaken the status quo. Not much of a Jew yourself, this whole scene ...read more

  • God's Prescription For Powerful Prayer Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 28, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 19,831 views

    Forgiveness is an active choice. Forgetting is a passive process in which a matter fades from our memory with the passing of time. The sad thing is when it comes to people who have offended us, we have total recall.

    INTRODUCTION A young man in college was visiting his girlfriend’s hometown for the first time. We’ll call him Tommy. It was a small town with only one drug store. Tommy stopped in and told the pharmacist he wanted to buy three boxes of chocolate: a small box, a medium box, and a large box. The ...read more

  • No Graven Image: The Curse Of Idolatry Series

    Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 22, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,105 views

    God does not share His glory. He alone is to be worshipped, revered, and honored as King and God. The fall of the nation of Israel is a grim reminder of how deeply idolatry offends God. He both exposed and judged their sin.

  • Get Into It!

    Contributed by Mike Spain on Feb 25, 2002
    based on 38 ratings
     | 3,695 views

    Here is a message that is based from The 50 Day Spiritual Adventure "More Than Survivors". It’s has a bit of a postmodern feel to it, but with a strong challenge to get into the everyday world so many Christians are offended by.

    INTRO: Here’s a question! Have you ever spoken with someone visiting from another country? What’s the one thing we always seem to ask a foreigner? “How do you like America?” And what’s the one thing they always seem to say in return? “I like America. America very good”, or whatever the variation of ...read more

  • When He Won't Say "I'm Sorry"

    Contributed by Larry Wilson on Sep 29, 2011
     | 3,081 views

    What are my biblical responsibilities when one who has offended me will not acknowledge his wrong? Our forgiveness is to be like God's forgiveness. So how does God forgive? The answer may not be what you are thinking.

  • Do Not Take Side Series

    Contributed by Dr. Amen Howard on Aug 13, 2013
     | 6,568 views

    One of the great characteristics of the body of Christ is to care about the burdens and sufferings of one another. However, as we seek to console and encourage friends that have been offended, we may be tempted to take up their offense against another.

    In sympathy, we may tend to take their part against the pastor, the church or whoever they blame for the offense. This is very unwise and an unscriptural thing to do, considering that your friend may be the cause of his own/her offense, or trying to drag you out of faith. His/her hurt feelings may ...read more

  • John The Baptist: An Almost Familiar Story

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Nov 28, 2010
     | 6,280 views

    A heavenly messenger, a miraculous birth, a normal childhood a short ministry preaching to people who loved his message and hated his message and then an untimely death at the hands of the authorities he had offended. Not the story you are thinking of.

    It is a familiar story for this time of year. A heavenly messenger, a miraculous birth, a normal childhood a short ministry preaching to people who loved his message and hated his message and then an untimely death at the hands of the authorities he had offended.

  • Heal The Wound, Leave The Scar

    Contributed by Shawn Andrews on Mar 14, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 12,065 views

    Big Idea: Forgiveness is healing the wound, even if it leaves a scar. Forgiving others means choosing not to be imprisoned by the actions of our offender. Jesus will heal our wound, but the scar remains to remind us of God’s work of grace in our lives.

    INTRO: STORY: Last year, you all know I had shoulder surgery. I didn’t want to have surgery. I avoided it as long as possible. But eventually, my shoulder hurt all the time. It became debilitating. It was only when I became aware of what my wound was keeping me from, was I willing to do ...read more

  • Preach This: Philippians 4:4-9 Series

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Nov 30, 2009
    based on 9 ratings
     | 28,005 views

    Thesis: Many people get offended if you tell them what to think – no one likes anyone telling them how to think. Yet the Bible tells us how we should think – whether we like it or not.

    Preach this - Phil. 4:4-8 Scripture Text: Phil 4:4-8 (NIV) 4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known ...read more

  • Jesus, Our Passover Part 1: Naked...or Nekid? Series

    Contributed by Pastor Jeff Hughes on Jan 23, 2014
     | 6,453 views

    Years ago, a major Protestant denomination removed many hymns that spoke of the blood of Jesus, citing they did not want to offend people. However, without the blood of Jesus Christ "there can be no remission of sin"...and we need to be reminded of that!

    Monday Heb 9:22 And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission. NKJV As we approach Passion Week in the next month, we are going to focus on some of the key teachings that surround the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. Back ...read more
