Sermons on Positioning:

Showing Up, But Fired! When Disobedience Costs You Your Anointing

Contributed by Frederick Tanner on Nov 13, 2025

Have you ever known someone who still showed up for work every day, dressed right, on time, doing all the motions, but the truth is, they’d already been fired? The title and position might still say “employed,” but the authority and favor behind the role are long gone.

Saul was chosen by God, anointed by Samuel, and empowered by the Holy Spirit. He had divine backing, heavenly authority, and public favor. But one act of disobedience changed everything. God gave Saul a command, destroy Amalek completely, but Saul did it his way, not God’s way. He kept what looked ...read more

God Delights In Bad Odds

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 20, 2022

The more unlikely the situation (if we pray), the better God likes it. God likes to show His hand, but He won’t do it unless we step out and depend on Him to come through in order for us have success. God likes the “come-from-behind” position.

I Belong To The Lord, Body And Soul!

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 19, 2008

JB Phillips translates Luke 1:38 like this, ’I belong to the Lord, body and soul. Let it happen as you say.’ Mary’s response of simple, humble faith challenges us to respond positively to the Lord’s call. How will we respond when he next calls us?

When God first called you what was your response? When God next calls you to something new, something different, what will be your response? The key to this Bible reading is Mary’s response of obedience. “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary said. “May it be to me as you have said” (1:38). JB Phillips ...read more

Clothe Yourself In His Armor Series

Contributed by Dr. Tom Badia on Feb 18, 2024

There is a “Principle of Position” that we all need to learn. It is the principle that though we all fall far short of the glory of God, God himself has made provision for us. His provision is that we can put on Christ. We wear his righteousness, his white robe, his crown, his authority.

What Is God Doing To Us?

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 30, 2020

Most of the time when this question is asked it's in the negative form. "God, why are you doing this?" Perhaps you've asked this question since the pandemic started. But today I'll be looking at this in a positive way regarding the things God does to and for us.

Living With Hope

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Sep 30, 2015

Today we focus on hope. Advent is all about hope. But hope isn’t something we can manufacture. We can’t just try to be more hopeful. Hope doesn’t come with the power of positive thinking. Hope is based on who Christ is and His promises to us!

Living with Hope Intro: Advent is a time of preparation and expectation for the coming of Christ, the time before celebrating the “joy to the world” that God’s incarnation becomes. In advance of a celebratory Christmas season that follows Advent, it is good for us to take time to ...read more
