    based on 26 ratings
     | 4,396 views

    God’s mercy is available to us, whether we call on Him in disasters only or whether we are constantly in His presence. But how much more ready we would be for disaster if we cultivated His presence. A sermon for the 9/11 anniversary.

    (Singing): “Sitting by the window praying, waiting for the break of day; sitting by the window praying, hearing what God might say.” (Repeat) Of all the images which linger, a year later, of the events of last September 11, none is more haunting than the picture of people falling from the ...read more

    Window Of Opportunity Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 15, 2002
    based on 44 ratings
     | 10,159 views

    Through prayer, God will open a window of opportunity for us to work past our stresses, our conflicted feelings, and even our sins and shortcomings.

    Life is tough. Am I going to get any argument about that? The philosopher Thomas Hobbes said that human life was solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. Wow! Not the kind of stuff we expect on Sunday morning. Supposed to be all, “Praise the Lord”! But deep down, lots of people do ...read more

    The Call To Intimacy

    based on 94 ratings
     | 8,596 views

    It seems that the Lord calls me to prayer at some of the most inconvenient times (my perception of the matter). However, I am quickly learning that His call to intimacy is what I need more than anything else on the face of this earth.

    By: Donna J. Kazenske Have you felt the nudging and stirring of the Lord to pray more than usual lately? Have you heard the voice of the Holy Spirit calling you into a deeper relationship with Him? It seems that the Lord calls me to prayer at some of the most inconvenient times (my perception ...read more

    “Cave Buster” Psalms 142 I started this with a really interesting “opener” but the further that I dug into the scripture the more I realized that the opener would not do this scripture justice. At the risk of disappointing my son who really liked the opening illustration… I instead want us to ...read more

     | 10,430 views

    If you have experienced depression and despair then you are not alone. Some of God’s greatest saints have felt the cold darkness surround them and yet they found His hand lead them out of the darkness and into His glorious light.

    Coming Out Of The Darkness Psalm 55:4-7 I felt it creeping in. I hadn’t eaten all day but I felt heavy. My heart hung low within me. I couldn’t muster the energy to lift the corners of my mouth to smile. The darkness was so heavy I couldn’t lift my arms to free myself. Friends tried to console ...read more

     | 5,754 views

    If you are down in the dumps, it may be because you have too much going in your life that takes you away from God. Do as Jesus did, slow down and pray.

    Okay. What should I do? Sometimes I get so discouraged, embittered, and apathetic that I feel like I will never get out of the bottom of the valley. I am amazed that I even managed to make it to worship this morning. This “Death Valley” seems to be never ending. The sand of bitterness blinds ...read more

    The Psalmist asked God to "bow down thine ear." Do you need to bend God’s ear today ?

    Psalms 86 1. Bow down thine ear, O Lord, hear me: for I am poor and needy. 2. Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. 3.

    When Nothing Seems Possible, Pray

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 14, 2003
    based on 56 ratings
     | 21,675 views

    When frustration abounds, in prayer we can discover deepened relationships, new possibilities, and ultimately grace.

    For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build a house for him; therefore your servant has found it possible to pray before you. Isn’t that an intriguing phrase? “Your servant has found it possible to pray.” My theme for today is “when nothing seems possible, pray.” “When ...read more

    Waiting on the Lord --Psalm 27:14 --Psalm 37:7-9 --Isaiah 40:30-31 Usually I am a patient person. During Christmas Breaks from Asbury College in 1968 and 1969, it was my privilege to work with my friends V. G. ...read more

     | 56,905 views

    God knows the secret plan of the things He will do for the world, using your hands, therefore if God is your partner make your plans BIG.

    Isaiah 64:1 “Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence”. This is a great prayer point, asking God to tear open the heavens and come down with His presence and every mountain will have no option but to melt and flow ...read more

    A Call To Quietnes

     | 4,319 views

    Being quiet before God is as important as being busy for him.

    The Call to Quietness I have to say that I am very glad that our gospel reading today skips over the horrific story of the beheading of John the Baptist, and rather moves on chronologically from last week. We read then how Jesus sent out the twelve disciples in ministry for the first time. Today ...read more
