     | 9,883 views

    I’m sure you’ve all seen people do some wacky things and have thought to yourself, “These people are out of their minds”. Someone risking their life doing a stunt is one thing but what about when it comes to doing God’s will?

    “HE’S OUT OF HIS MIND” Mark 3:20-35 INTRODUCTION: I’m sure you’ve all seen people do some far-out wacky things and have thought to yourself, “These people must be out of their minds”. Someone risking their life doing a stunt is one thing but what about ...read more

    The Masqueraders Series

    The devil and his workers will not appear as satan & deceivers. They will appear to be on your side & on God’s side. But they will take your attention off God, off Jesus Christ, off sharing His Gospel & place attention on man & his frailties.

    2 CORINTHIANS 11: 11-15 [GAINING PERSPECTIVE Series] THE MASQUERADERS [Matthew 24: 1-5 / 1 John 4:1-3] A attack on the purity of Paul's motives was a disguise for the false preachers actions. They acted like they were concerned for what was right so that they could divide the unity of the ...read more

    Being Servants And Stewards Of God Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 16, 2022
     | 2,576 views

    We can learn from the words of Paul to his accusers the perspectives we need to adopt in the face of opposition in ministry. Paul understands where his authority comes from, knows to whom he is accountable, and trusts in God's final appraisal of his works.

    1 Cor 4:1-5 Being Servants and Stewards of God We have covered the first 3 chapters of 1 Corinthians over the last 10 weeks. Today is our 11th Sunday on this book. • I believe by now we have an idea of the problems the church in Corinth is facing. • Surely this is not a happy thing for Paul, who ...read more

    A sermon about self centredness. The first in a series of anti-sermons where they tell people to do the opposite of what they are suppose to. Kind of blatant reverse psychology.

    The Seven Habits of Highly Ineffective Christians 1 Live in the Circle of Ineffectiveness Cardiff Heights Baptist 2 January 2000 I trust everyone had an enjoyable New Years.

    based on 36 ratings
     | 6,235 views

    World says seeing is believing, but God says the opposite; believing is seeing. “If you would believe, you would see the glory of God” (11:40).

    1. When did this miracle occur? Winter after Purim, December (John 10:22) and before Passover (John 11:55). 2. Where did the miracle occur? Bethany, east of Jerusalem (11:1). 3. Why does Jesus wait? “When He (Jesus) had heard . . . He abode two days in the same place” (11:6). • Our agendas are not ...read more

    This text is all about contrary winds - really opposition; those things that come into our lives and make us wonder if we will EVER get anything accomplished.

    This text is all about contrary winds - really opposition; those things that come into our lives and make us wonder if we will EVER get anything accomplished.

    Success in life comes from the following equation: Faith + works = success. The opposite also applies: Faith – Works, or Work – Faith = no success only failure in life.

    Faith And Fear

    Contributed by Don Baggett on Nov 30, 2007
    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,159 views

    The opposite of faith is fear. Fear is the fruit of unbelief, and it opens the door of your life to the devil. Sixty three times in the Bible, the Lord used the phrase, “Fear not.”

    Faith opens the door of your life to God. Ephesians 2:8 says that our salvation is comes by God’s grace, through our faith. No one could honestly study the ministry of Jesus upon this earth and miss the fact that He honored people’s faith. Hebrews 13:5 says, “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, ...read more

     | 14,277 views

    In spite of the persecution and opposition it endured, the early church was a powerful church. They experienced and operated in the power of the Holy Spirit daily. The Lord desires no less for His church today.

    Take a stand for Christ. It is a challenge because the world is flowing in the opposite direction. But each time we make a stand, we are bearing testimony that our faith is real.

    God wants peacemakers in His church. God wants to peacemakers in the workplace. God wants peacemakers in this world. • If you are a child of God, you are a peacemaker. We are not called to be peacekeepers but peacemakers. • All of us must seek to make peace, to help others make peace, and help ...read more

    Marriage Is Valuable, Divorce Is Dangerous

    Contributed by Scott Turansky on May 24, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,454 views

    When asked about divorce, Jesus first speaks about the value of marriage. Then he limits divorce. Unlike our culture which does just the opposite.

    Matthew 19 – The Value of Marriage, the Dangers of Divorce Matthew 19:1-3: When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan. 2Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there. 3Some Pharisees came to him to test him. ...read more

    The early church was on fire for God, but it did have its share of problems and opposition. It was how they handled those problems that made them attractive to a lost and dying world.

    A Lesson in Divine Providence Acts 5:12-42 Introduction There was never a dull moment around First Church of Jerusalem! Pentecost came in a blaze of glory. Healings occurred around the city. There were lessons on hypocrisy. The wave of power was building within the Church to a great ...read more

    What a topsy-turvy kingdom the kingdom of God is! Its priorities and attitudes seem comletely opposite to our inclinations and earthly ways. This is a sermon about Kingdom Attitudes.

     | 5,239 views

    When everything is going well, pray, because that is when the opposition will assault us, that is when confusion comes, and that is when you will discover the unfinished clutter in your own heart.

    Each fall I bring you messages on prayer. There is a reason for that. In this time of the year we need to be very alert about our devotional life. September is a crucial time to discern important things about prayer. The reason is not hard to find. In September, everything cranks up to a fever ...read more
