    God's Presence In The Silence

    Contributed by David Washburn on Oct 31, 2002
    based on 81 ratings
     | 17,142 views

    We often times interpret God’s silence to mean he is absent, but the truth is that God’s silence is an opportunity for Him to draw us closer and prepare us for an even greater revelation

    Silence is something most of us aren’t comfortable with. The brief 20 seconds I stood before you, looking at you in silence may have seemed liked an eternity. What were you thinking as we looked at each other in silence? We will many times equate silence with something being wrong and will rush to ...read more

    As we prepare for our Lord’s birth among us, we are confronted with God’s realtiy: Things are not always what they seem. God’s ways are not teh world’s ways.

    Things Are Not What They Seem Dear friends in Christ, grace and peace to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus, the Christ. Amen. After 2000 years of listening to the Christmas story, it’s easy for us hear it as a familiar and sentimental tale, imagining quiet and serene ...read more

    Preparing for Christmas means more than just shopping for presents and putting up the decorations. It means opening our hearts and lives to the working of the Holy Spirit. This is a sermon for Advent 3, Year B.

    The Promised One is Coming! Well, there are only 11 more shopping days until Christmas. Are you prepared?

    When God prepares to do something wonderful, He begins with a difficulty. When He plans to do something very wonderful, He begins with an impossibility. Let me show you how!

    Introduction No matter the size of one’s obstacle or difficulty God’s promise is always bigger. He has never made a promise that He couldn’t keep! Even when the river of your life has swollen, God will and does make a way. Israel knew the feeling too well. Under the leadership of Joshua they ...read more

    Some storms we can track and be somewhat prepared for, others come suddenly and without warning. We normally don’t think about them until they hit or effect us.

    One of Those Days Opening Illustration: Have you ever had “one of those days”? 1. The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were released back into the wild amid cheers and ...read more

    A message about what we learn from Jesus’ baptism and how we prepare for communion from Jesus’ washing the disciples’ feet. We had communion and adult baptism on the same day.

    The traditional theme for the Third Sunday of Advent is Joy. This sermon, originally prepared for that Sunday, is based on the Angel’s message to the Shepherds in Luke 2, "I Bring You Good Tidings of Great Joy."

    Good Tidings of great Joy --Luke 2:8-14 What would be your response if you suddenly had an encounter with one of heaven’s angels? Angels are super beings; they are more powerful and intelligent that we are, but they are not omnipotent and omniscient like God. Therefore, it is only natural for ...read more

    This message is designed to prepare believers for ministry, to promote spiritual growth, to see that they become like-hearted and to help them find what their gifting is and use it for the glory of God and the building up of His church.

    Growing Up and Building Up Intro.: "Why does the church exist? What is our purpose?" In Acts 2, the church began with 3,000 members, by Acts 4 it had grown to 5,000 men plus women & children.

    I prepared this sermon for use in the case of a late term still birth. It can be modified slightly to fit any infant memorial service. These are difficult situations. Much prayer and compassion and humility are advised.

    Parker’s Memorial Message I wonder if perhaps… In fact, this thought has brought a great deal of comfort to me this week… I wonder if recently an angel in heaven opened the book of life and seeing Parker’s name printed within, said “This one is too beautiful to see ...read more

    The world is operating on jet speed and everybody is living, as though there is no end to this life. They run, sweat and beat themselves to amass wealth but alas many fail to understand that God is preparing us for His Kingdom!

    Kingdom of God! A) Look, it’s me! Acts 1:3” During the forty days after His crucifixion he appeared to the apostles from time to time, actually alive, and proved to them in many ways that it was really he himself they were seeing. And on these occasions he talked to them about the ...read more

    The face of Barabbas is truly the face of good fortune. Never has a better thing happened to a man on the day of his expected crucifixion. Jesus of Nazareth probably died on the cross that was prepared for Jesus Barabbas.
