    Loyalty (Part 3) Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 13, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,462 views

    Being a follower of Jesus can give people a strong sense of their own identity. Indeed you could even say that to belong to Christ, to be "in Christ", to be a member of his body, is the only identity we need.

    Opening illustration: Any person working in the US Marine Corps lives with a motto “Always Faithful.” He is to remain faithful to the US Army – even unto death for the cause of his country. What he doesn’t have to do? • Take orders from enemy leadership • Never quit partway through the military ...read more

    Paul had his critics there in Corinth and in this last section of the letter Paul makes a strong defense against them. We learn some helpful things from Paul about dealing with our own critics.

    Introduction: A. The story is told about D.L. Moody, one of the most effective American evangelists of the 1800s. 1. Like all preachers, he had some supporters and some critics. 2.

    Purposes Of The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by Jose R. Hernandez on Apr 9, 2011
     | 2,571 views

    All of us here will try to solve problems and face situations using our own strength, but the truth of it all is that if we do not allow the Holy Spirit to give us conviction and guide us, then we will fail.

    Like I said last week, we all live with a certain level of stress. Due to our responsibilities and obligations, on a daily basis we are pulled in different directions. And as we were able to determine, the weight of these things slowly begins to fall on our shoulders and that causes our faith to ...read more

    based on 17 ratings
     | 21,184 views

    God chooses to answer me not because I have needs, but because I bring those needs to Him rather than try to meet them in my own strength. And He is not all that keen on repetition.

    Matthew 6 – Part 3 - WHY PRAY IF GOD ALREADY KNOWS MY NEEDS? So what is the use of praying if God already knows what I need? Matthew 6:7 and 8 says “When you pray, don’t babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again ...read more

     | 4,432 views

    How easy is it for a cripple to get up on his own? How easy is it to love our enemies? How easy is to forgive someone who hurt us deeply? Jesus commands us to do all this.

    This morning we visit a place called Bethesda. An invalid, crippled, lying on the ground waiting for the miraculous. Jesus says "Do you want to get well?" Some people do not want to get better, they like the attention they get, or possibly the thought of doing anything different scares them. ...read more

    Standing Still

    based on 6 ratings
     | 36,834 views

    If we, as believers, make plans on our own, they are destined for failure. But if God makes them they are a guaranteed success. Exodus 14:14 says: The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

    Standing Still Exodus 14:13-14 13 And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. 14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold ...read more

    A Little Bit Of Sin

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 25, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,266 views

    The danger with a little bit of sin, is that we can sin just a little. However, we must know that there are grave consequences when we choose to follow our own desires rather than following the will of God.

    “The angels urged Lot, saying, ‘Up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city.’ But he lingered. So the men seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, the Lord being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set ...read more

    A funeral sermon for a 50 year old man who committed suicide. He was an active member of the congregation, and gave no signs or reason for taking his own life, leaving the family, congregation, and community in a state of shock.

    (Read obituary from bulletin) Dear friends, members of Our Saviour’s, family members, and especially this day you, Holly, Kyle, Beth, Cara, and Loren, may God’s grace, mercy, and peace be with you from God, our Father, and from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

    The Bible says that the people who know God will be strong and have great adventures. Daniel and his three friends’ lives are an example for us to how we can have our own excellent adventures in God.

    HEROES #5: DANIEL’S PURPOSE, PURITY AND PROMOTION OPENING HUMOUR: Talk about wedding yesterday. Three weeks after her wedding day, Joanna called her pastor in hysterics.

     | 6,347 views

    Dated 1988; post-revival message. We do not retain the Spirit after a period of excitement because we have not counted the cost, we are victims of low self-esteem, or we are not our own persons.

    Nothing is more annoying than to be trying to transport some liquid in a leaky vessel. You think you’ve got whatever it is all secure and ready for use, and then all of a sudden you find out it has leaked and drained allover the place ... and nothing is more disturbing and frustrating. When I ...read more

     | 6,541 views

    . This section is one of three sections in II Corinthians devoted to a listing of Paul’s sufferings. Paul was not afraid of suffering because he knew that God controls trials, and God uses trials for His own glory.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: Driving through Texas, a New Yorker collided with a truck carrying a horse. A few months later he tried to collect damages for his injuries. “How can you now claim to have all these injuries?” asked the insurance company’s lawyer. “According to the police report, at the ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,472 views

    When we draw close to Jesus sometimes the aura of His power makes us feel powerful on our own. Luke 9 teaches us lessons on the real source of power and the real cost of discipleship.

    What’s the famous line from American Express? Not Karl Malden saying "Don’t leave home without it" but this: "membership has its privileges."

     | 7,645 views

    As we continue to follow the life of Abraham one would think after a event like separating from his own flesh and blood (Lot), that things would be different. But it is in times like these that God shines through.

    Abraham: Following in the Footsteps Of Faith GOD’S PROMISE TO ABRAM RENEWED Genesis 13:14-18 Intro: Last week we looked at the trouble that arose between Abram and Lot, over the feeding of their livestock.

     | 5,918 views

    It’s hard to pinpoint being holy like God. But if we just look at it from the perspective of love, then maybe we can understand God’s holiness and reflect it better in our own lives!

    Reflecting God’s Holiness in Love! Every week my son Grant does something that I could probably use in a sermon in some way. I just love watching him and seeing the things he does and I try to remember as many of them as possible because they make such good illustrations. Parents, did you know ...read more
