    Could We Turn Back Time…

     | 13,615 views

    If we could really turn back the hands of time, would we? Why would we? Would it be ethical? Would it be wise to do so?Reasons people would like to go back in time, would it be good to change the past, and what the Bible says about our future.

    COULD WE TURN BACK TIME… 2 Kgs. 20:8-11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: BLIND MAN SPINS DOG 1. There was a blind man at Wal-Mart the other day. He had a seeing-eye dog with him. 2. He seemed to be doing alright until he grabbed his seeing-eye dog by the hind legs and swung him around his head in a ...read more

    From Our Mouths To God's Ears Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 18, 2022
     | 3,693 views

    In the midst of the spiritual wilderness that we find ourselves in today, our serenity … our comfort … our confidence comes from the fact that God provides us with our daily bread.

    After Jesus was baptized, the Gospel writers say that Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness where He was tempted by the devil for 40 days (Matthew 4:1-11; Mark 1:12-13; Luke 4:1-13). During that time, Jesus ate nothing. At this point, the devil attempts to use Jesus’ hunger to ...read more

    Bowing To The Great Idol Of Self

    Contributed by Mark Adams on Jan 13, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,219 views

    The OT has a lot of interesting stories about idolatry, but is that really just a problem of the past? This sermon addresses the very real problem that our culture has in worshiping our own desires above all else.

    To the reader: What inspired this sermon was a quote I read in R.C. Ortlund’s book, When God Comes To Church, p. 194. "Self is the great idol standing at the center of our conceptual world, to which all bow low. We even have a duty-to-self ethic, as if self-denial were harmful, immoral, and ...read more

    A Lamb For Man

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 25, 2022
     | 944 views

    Christ is the perfect sacrifice for our sin. He is our Passover. We should not have anything to do with any past sins (“old leaven”) because He has freed us from the shackles of sin.

    Because they did not have time to wait for the bread to rise, the Hebrews were instructed to make bread without yeast (“unleavened bread”) as they prepared for their exodus from slavery in Egypt. They were told to remove all yeast from the house because it was also a symbol of sin. (Exodus 12:15, ...read more

    Joy Is Restored Series

    Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Dec 17, 2017
     | 12,114 views

    Sorrow is but for a time. The power of prayer, memories of God’s past healing and His loving-kindness sustain Israel. God heals the pain of the present in the same manner as He has healed the pain of the past.

    Joy is the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying: it is keen pleasure, or elation. Joy is more elusive, subtle, and nuanced than happiness. We can manipulate circumstances to our own advantage to obtain what we think will bring happiness, or ...read more

    It Will Come To Pass, Because He Lives.

    Those bad times in our life will come to pass too because God is our refuge and strength. He is always there and never misses a moment. I have always wondered just how someone makes it through this life believing some dead god.

    It will come to pass, because He lives. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the ...read more

    How big is your God? Daniel 7 challenges our view of God by showing that he has acted in the past, acts in the present, and has promised to act in the future.

    1. UNCERTAINTY IN HUMANITY We live in an uncertain world. People look for security and guidance from our world leaders and governments yet it doesn’t happen. We place our hope in them that they will solve our problems little realising that we ourselves are the problem. The placing of faith by ...read more

They don’t say anything like that for churches... do churches age the same as people?... a church 30 years old is like a 30 year old person?... Or, is it like “dog ...read more
