    Praying In Great Distress

    When Jesus was preparing for the greatest ordeal any human would ever face--the one who had never sinned to be cut off from his Heavenly Father--he went to God in great desperation. We can and should do the same when we face the inevitable trials of life.

    Matthew 26:36-46 Praying in Great Distress Jesus is our example in all things, and today he shows us how to take our anxious thoughts to God. I heard about a guy who was anxious in his driving. He was cutting off people, weaving in and out of traffic. Then he got inpatient at a yellow light, as ...read more

    The great commission of the church is to spread the Word of God to reach people with the Good News of Christ.

    Prayer- Introduction- We began last week looking at the church of God. I say the church of God because there are churches not asking God for help or following God directions for the church and if you look close at that church, you’ll see that they do not have the anointing and power of God ...read more

    In this sermon in our names of Jesus series, we are looking at the name I AM and what this means when Jesus uses it of Himself when it comes to our relationship with Him, in that He doesn't change and that He will keep His word and promises.

    Names of Jesus “The Great I Am” The Name, “I AM” is the most iconic and recognizable name of God, and it is from this name that the name Jehovah or Yahweh comes from. The name Jehovah is used over 6,800 times in the Bible. It is the personal name of the Lord God of Israel. Now, to understand ...read more

    When it comes to our personal relationship with God and with others, Jesus taught that personal goodness is more valuable than personal greatness.

    INTRODUCTION When I was a pastor in Alabama, we lived next to a cemetery. Most days I would jog through there; the residents never complained. I enjoyed reading the tombstones. I’ll never forget the short tribute one on large tombstone. A man’s name was listed and then it said, “He was a great ...read more

    It is humility that brings honor and growth to God’s people. A person, who humbles himself like a little child, even though that may cause others to ignore or dislike him, will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. The humblest Christians are the....

    Trying to live by the two great commandments begins with understanding them. It doesn’t end there, but it begins there.

    The Two Great Commandments (Matthew 22:34-40) 1. What is the difference between these two true stories. Here is the first one. 2.

    The Great Depression # 4

    Last week, as we considered THE GREAT DEPRESSION, we dealt with the life of Elijah. He is the ideal person to study when you study the subject of depression.

    WHY IS HE THE IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR THIS STUDY? Because of what the Word of God says about him. Look at James 5:17, we read, "Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are…" Elijah represents us in that - (1) HE HAD HIS HIGH DAYS He enjoyed the highest of highs. We Americans ...read more

    Today I want to preach another sermon that can be preached in any church in America, and it would apply to most of the people in any congregation. I hope that as I preach the Word it will fall on good soil today.

    Illus: I heard of a preacher who was preaching a three-point sermon on the Second Coming of Christ, and he would close each of the main points of the sermon by saying, “HE IS COMING, READY OR NOT!” When he got to the third point he got so excited he got on the edge of the pulpit and screamed, ...read more

    Sarah was a mother/grandmother/great grandmother who deeply loved her family. The message focuses on her sacrifice and love... and her faith in Christ.

    I’m going to something today that I NEVER do. I’m going to modify a passage of Scripture, and I’m hoping God will forgive me for that because this rendering fits my message this morning. “An excellent (Mother) who can find?

    At the start of 2022 most of us probably feel that the future looks very uncertain. We want to hear God's message of encouragement. As the Israelites prepared to enter the Promised Land, God had a great message of encouragement for them.

    THE SCENE I’d like you to imagine a scene. It’s about 1500 B.C. We’re in a wilderness a little to the south of the Dead Sea in what was then Moab and is now Jordan. Around us there are people, tents, and animals. The people look tough, weather-beaten. For forty years they’ve been living as ...read more

    The LORD is High for evermore. Psalm 92 verse 8.

    THE GREATNESS OF HIS WORKS. Psalm 92:1-15. This Psalm takes up a common Bible theme: the dichotomy between the “righteous” (Psalm 92:12) and the “wicked” (Psalm 92:7). However, first and foremost, taken as a whole, it is about the LORD. The LORD is mentioned seven times in this ‘Psalm or ...read more
