    Seizing God’s Opportunities

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Aug 22, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,655 views

    This sermon is taken from the Latin expression, "Carpe Diem," or "Seize the Day." It's about seizing those opportunities God gives to us. It extracts nuggets of information about Jonathan's victory over the Philistines found in 1 Samuel 14. (This sermon has been updated)

    Seizing God’s Opportunities 1 Samuel 14:1-15 John Wycliffe lived 200 years before the Protestant Reformation, which ushered in a belief system that moved the church away from Roman Catholicism, and towards a belief in God and the Scriptures as the source of divine revelation. Wycliffe, and ...read more

    It’s good to ask the right questions about our lives. It’s equally important to get the right answers. To keep from wasting your life and being filled with regret, consider these questions: What does God want? What will it take? Why should I do it?

    It is not enough to have great potential or show great promise. It is what you do with that potential that makes all the difference. A good beginning does not guarantee a good end. End your life well, to the glory of God.

    Whatever we start, do it well and end it well. Put your heart in it and do a good job. It is more important how we end than how well we start. • This is so true of Saul’s life. He started well, but did not end well. • We are going to read about his death today (1 Sam 31), and ...read more

    As we examine the story of Nehemiah 2, where we see Nehemiah speaking up for God's people when he had the opportunity, we are challenged to learn to share the good news when we have opportunity.

    Introduction: A. The story is told of a college student who was in a philosophy class, where there was a class discussion about whether or not God exists. 1. The professor tried to prove his point that there is no God by using this logical progression: a. He asked the class: “Has anyone in ...read more

    A CELEBRATION OF GOD-GIVEN OPPORTUNITY. 1 Samuel 2:1-10. The Song of Hannah is a song of reversals. It was a celebration of a God-given opportunity through the birth of a child.
