    Taking Care Of The Tongue Series

    Contributed by Tim Bond on Aug 19, 2002
    based on 77 ratings
     | 7,590 views

    The words that come out of our mouth only reveal what lies in the heart. The only real way to take care of a tongue problem is to allow God to change our heart.

    Maybe you’ve heard the saying “What you do speaks so loudly that I can’t hear what you say.” In James 2:18, the passage we looked at last week, the brother of Jesus writes, “But someone will say, ‘You have faith; I have deeds.’ Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by ...read more

     | 7,236 views

    This is not a happy story about Jesus saving the day. This is not another comforting account of how Jesus solves our problems in the storms of life. This is a story about growing real faith in God.

    JESUS WALKS BY TEXT: MARK 6:45-52. THEME: THE STORMS OF LIFE TEACH US MORE ABOUT US THAN GOD. The Native American group in Nova Scotia, Canada, had a long standing tradition.

     | 32,648 views

    As we walk by faith, we may have to endure extended seasons waiting for the Lord to answer our prayer and move in our situation. If we remain faithful, God will answer in His time, according to His sovereign will.

    Series: Walking by Faith # 2 The Commitment of Hannah 1 Samuel 1: 1-20 More often than not, it is difficult to walk by faith. As we walk by faith, we must trust the Lord to guide our path and provide in areas of life that are beyond our control. There are times when our faith is tested. We may be ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,899 views

    This sermon looks at the difference between doing what feels right and what is right.

    Listen To Your Heart: In determining what to do, for many the key question is “what do you feel like you should do?” - We are encouraged to “follow our heart” by listening to our emotions and doing what they’re telling us to do. - This presumes that whatever our ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 7 views

    God’s power is greater than our problems; prayer and obedience invite hope and restoration even when circumstances seem impossible or overwhelming.

    Some weeks feel like a siege, don’t they? The walls close in. The headlines howl. The bills glare. Your energy ebbs and your faith feels small. You stand at a window and you wonder, “How is this going to work?” If that’s you today, you’re in familiar, biblical company. Jeremiah knew about closed ...read more

    This odd parable about a widow and a judge shows us why we’re to pray persistently as the end approaches -- so we won’t give up!

    God created the world in perfect order. When God sent His Son Jesus Christ to earth, 61 Messianic prophesies were fulfilled. What are the odds?

    The 39 books of the Old Testament were written over the course of 1500 years, starting with the creation of the universe and ending about 400 years before the coming of Jesus Christ. To better understand Jesus Christ, in God’s perfect process, I think it’s a good reminder to look at where he came ...read more

    There was no question that David was the underdog. But there was also no question about God’s help. How do we face our giants? There were odds, there was opposition and there was Divine help.

    DAVID VOLUNTEERED Text: 1 Samuel 17:38 - 50 When I was a kid, I was a crack shot with a sling shot. My grandfather, Cecil had a patent on a couple of sling shots he designed.

    Easter, The Gospel Of Hope

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Apr 19, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 11,892 views

    The great question of the Resurrection is not whether it really happened - it did — and the evidence is overwhelming, so that’s not the question. Instead, the great question of the resurrection is - now what?

    TITLE: EASTER, THE GOSPEL OF HOPE SCRIPTURE: ST. MARK 16:1-8 One of the great disparities between the first Easter and our Easter today is that today Easter has become that time when we as Christians at least appear to have everything together — and that’s not a bad thing - this is just part of ...read more
