    A reading through Chapter Five of Lamentations. This is not a typical sermon.

    Letters Of Lament – Thoughts From Lamentations Chapter Five INTRODUCTION: There are times when we all lament – or need to lament. There are times when we have walked down the wrong path – and have found at the end of it – a dead end. At the end of the road we cry out, “What have I done? How could ...read more

    Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (14 Of 16)

    There are very few people that we come into contact with who say, "I do not believe in a God.”

    What surprises us about these folks, when we do come into contact with them, is that they will take God's name in vain, using His name when they curse. If they believe there is no God, why bother using His name like that, or at all? We may not know why they use God's name along with curse ...read more

    Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (3 Of 16)

     | 1,272 views

    In chapter two we see why many think John was a “softy.” Look at verse 1. We read, “My little children...”

    As we read these words, we can not help but think of an old, gray-haired man expressing concern for his children. This was exactly what John was doing. In a pervious sermon we dealt with the two sides of John’s personality. • That is, he had the intestinal fortitude to be able to look at the ...read more

    "Paul's Final Thoughts." 1 Cor. Pt 17 Series

     | 5,857 views

    Paul was a man who had experienced Grace and he always referred to its power in the opening of his letters and in the closing of his letters because it changed his life. Grace changed a murderer of the church to a martyr of the church.

    “Paul’s - Final Thoughts” Opening Illustration: On the lighter side of life Scripture Texts: I Cor. 16:21-24: 21I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand. 22If anyone does not love the Lord—a curse be on him. Come, O Lord! 23The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. 24My love to all of you in ...read more

    We have all heard the proverbial expression The proof is in the pudding." For example, someone might say, "This is real good chocolate pudding."

    For example, someone might say, And so someone might say, "I really love God!" But, these are only words. They might be true or they might not be. Just saying something does not make it so! In fact anyone can say anything he wants to say, but that does not make it true. In this passage ...read more

    Some of the physical problems we hear much about people having are heart problems. Anyone can be a victim of heart disease or attack.

    Illus: A man in Columbia, South Carolina went to a doctor because he was tired most of the time. The doctor examined him and found out he was only getting 20% use of his heart. They did open heart surgery on him, opened up some valves and today he feels like a new man. There are many people in our ...read more

     | 1,253 views

    In a previous message we learned the apostle John had witnessed several undeniable proofs that Jesus was indeed the Son of God, Savior of the world.

    . No wonder, when he saw Jesus walking on the shore one day, he said, (John 1:29,34-36), “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world....And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

     | 1,373 views

    In a previous sermon we dealt with what John had to say about how we can KNOW that WE KNOW THE LORD.

    We discovered that anyone can say that they know the Lord...anyone! All one has to say is, “I know the Lord.” John used the word, “saith,” numerous times. He referred to it in: • 1 John 2:4. He said, “HE THAT SAITH, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not ...read more

    John gives us seven tests to take to see if we KNOW the Lord. Today we come to the FIFTH test.

    So far we have taken FOUR tests: I. The Attitude Test II. The Action Test III. The Affection Test IV. The Actuality Test Today we want to look at this FIFTH test. V. THE ADULTERY TEST WHAT KIND OF TEST IS THIS? This is a test that deals with our relationship with the world. That ...read more

     | 1,459 views

    In this passage of scripture, John deals with something we want to look at very closely and consider in this message.

    He deals with the topic of how we are supposed to love one another. Of course much of the Bible deals with this subject, yet it seems to be something we Christians know very little about and those who are not Christians know even less. As we look at our text we want to learn from what it says to ...read more

    There is no "on the mountain" and "off the mountain" which can be explained by the virtue of equanimity.

    Peter was talking, but yielded to the voice from heaven and listened. “Listen to him" we hear from God the Father. Matthew 17:5 A woman named Barb tells about an incident that happened in her granddaughter’s kindergarten class. A boy in the class just wasn’t listening to his teacher. The ...read more
