     | 181 views

    REMEMBRANCE, UNTIL HE COMES. 1 Corinthians 11:23-26. “Don’t look back,” people may say. Yet there is a time when we must pause and recollect. Communion is just such a time.

    based on 38 ratings
     | 10,741 views

    This sermon seeks to provide a better understanding as to how God guides His people. It takes an illustration of a hand, with its five fingers, to give a practical insight into the subject.

    INTRODUCTION Today’s talk is entitled How does God guide us? As we consider this subject, I would like to make some assumptions – 1) We assume that God exists. 2) That God wants to guide us. 3) That we want him to guide us. I will assume we all hold a positive response to all of these ...read more

    The Day Jesus Wept Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 22, 2012
    based on 207 ratings
     | 67,672 views

    Odd things about this story: Why does the Bible tells us "Jesus wept"? And why didn’t Jesus "show up" a few days earlier and make sure Lazarus didn’t die? Why allow this close personal friend to die, and allow his friends and family to mourn?
