    I Know History; I Do Not Know Myself Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 4, 2002
    based on 31 ratings
     | 5,651 views

    It is one thing to know history and theology; it is another entirely to understand our own hearts. Job’s pilgrimage into self-understanding led to self-hatred, but in Christ that can be redeemed.

    I’ll ask you to repeat with me this wonderful, ringing affirmation from the New Testament: But I am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard until that day what I have entrusted to him. I know. I know the one in whom I have put my ...read more

    This Ain't No Fish Story

    Contributed by Chris Kelly on Mar 4, 2002
    based on 56 ratings
     | 5,356 views

    Why is it that we don’t share our faith in Christ more? Maybe Jonah can shed some light on the subject. Learn 5 attitudes that keep us from reaching others from his life.

    This Ain’t No Fish Story! I want to tell you a story this morning about a fish. But it’s anything but a “fish story”. Most of us can probably remember the story of “Jonah & the Whale” from our Sunday School days, but maybe now that we’re all grown up, we kind of put it in the same category ...read more

    A strong lesson from two relatively unknown Old Testament characters. What can we learn from these two women? Much!

    If you are a student of the Old Testament, you are well aware of the strong women characters featured in the book of Genesis. The stories of many of these women, such as Sarah, Rebekah, and Rachel are given to us in much detail. Through the Genesis text we gain a rich insight into their ...read more

    Michal

    based on 55 ratings
     | 12,855 views

    Do you know anyone who just can’t get a break in life? Do you know someone who seems to resolve one major crisis only to be thrust into yet another? This study presents us with just such a person. Her name? Michal, the youngest daughter of king Saul.

    Introduction: Do you know anyone who just can’t get a break in life? Do you know someone who seems to resolve one major crisis only to be thrust into yet another? You know the kind of person I’m referring to here, the underdog, one we feel sorry for, one we want to reach out to. Do you ...read more

    I Know You Are Watching Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 10, 2002
    based on 29 ratings
     | 2,861 views

    When we consider that God is watching us, we may ask, as Job did, whether He is watching us to hurt us, to humiliate us, or to rescue us. Actually He is watching us in love to empower us.

    “I can’t let you out of my sight for one minute.” How many parents here have ever said that? “I can’t let you out of my sight for one minute.” How many have said it at least a thousand times? You said it to a small child, bent on doing something that would hurt. You said it to an ...read more

     | 87,596 views

    In this lesson, we are going to study a lady of great character and intelligence – her name is Abigail. All we know about her is summed up in this one chapter, yet she comes through as one of the most notable women in the Old Testament!

    Introduction: The Bible is full of great stories! I’ve heard it said if you are looking for a mystery, or a thriller, or a love story, or one containing a great hero or heroine – whatever your desire, you can find it in the Bible. The text before us, in this study, is certainly one of the ...read more

    This is sermon one of seven on the value of being broken before God. This sermon is a study of Job.

    In one day Job lost everything. He lost all his material goods first. Job 1: 14 a messenger came to Job and said, "The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing nearby, 15 and the Sabeans attacked and carried them off. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has ...read more

    When we truly believe what God has said, we will watch him work in his time, for his glory and we will be amazed!

    Abraham was a man that had a close walk with his God. Throughout the text, God speaks to Abraham and gives him a promise that would pass on through generations. Although the promise of a son was very difficult to believe from a human perspective, the fulfillment of God’s promise was sure. You ...read more

    Gideon asked, "If the Lord is with us, why did this happen?" I believe his answer today is, "I AM with you!"

    I. Many are asking the same question today Gideon asked then: "Lord, if you are with us, why did this happen?" A. The answer then had already been given: because of the sin of the people (6:8-10). That was then. B. One prominent preacher went on national TV recently to interpret Sept. ...read more
