Broken - Then Mended Series

Contributed by Rick Stacy on Mar 24, 2002

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

Jump-Starting Jabez

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 13, 2001

We have learned, thanks to Bruce Wilkinson’s writings, to treasure the prayer of Jabez; but what can we intuit that Jabez’ mother did for him: she honored his uniqueness, she owned her own pain and shared it with her son, and she move him toward faithful prayer.

You know how they say that behind every good man there is a good woman? Well, they used to say that. That is a pre-feminist proverb. Now they say that alongside every good man there is a good woman, like Newton’s Law, equal in force but opposite in direction! But I certainly find it true that ...read more

A Man Of Integrity

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on May 17, 2001

The Demonstration of Job’s integrity

Job is a man of integrity. His integrity is legend. The backwoods preacher found a small boy all alone, playing in the dirt. “Where’s your father?” the preacher asked.

The Ass With 20/20 Vision
