Even If God Does Not Deliver Us, We Will Not Bow - An Introduction Series

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 14, 2016

We must take a stand for God. Just like the Hebrew Boys, we too will be tempted for what we believe. Our God whom we serve can deliver. History and the Bible prove that He can. Therefore He will again. Our problem is that we forget so easily.

EVEN IF OUR GOD DOES NOT DELIVER US, WE STILL WILL NOT BOW DANIEL 3: 1 Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. 2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather ...read more

God’s Plan For You

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Aug 12, 2009

God is not scrambling about trying to work out His plan or make last minute corrections. When we fumble the ball or tragedy occurs, God’s plan has not slipped a gear. The tragedy is a part of God’s plan for our faith to grow and for His glory.

Opening illustration: Consider Charles Colson, the aide to Richard Nixon who was sent to jail for Watergate. As a result of his experience as a convicted felon, Colson founded Prison Fellowship, now the world’s largest Christian outreach to prisoners and their families.

"Why Is There So Much Suffering In The World?"

Working In God’s Vineyard Series

Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on Jun 5, 2018

When God tells you to go and work in His vineyard, He is telling you less of self more of God’s needs. He is telling you get out of your comfort zone, go and reach out to others, go and minister to others.

In Matthew 21:28-31, Jesus told an interesting parable on Christian service and the kind of attitude to service that pleases Him. A father approached two of his sons and told each son to go and work today in the vineyard. In other words, go and occupy for me in my vineyard. Same assignment, same ...read more

God’s Restoring Grace

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Oct 9, 2017

This sermon looks at God's restorative grace. It looks at why people walk away including pride, indifference, inconvenience, and seeking man's approval.

God’s Restoring Grace Mark 14 As I thought about this concept of God’s restoring grace what came to mind is the promise Jesus gave to His disciples of the Holy Spirit. “Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on ...read more

God’s Dreams For You

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 26, 2020

The Hebrew word translated “plans” in Jer. 29:11 (machashabah) means “imaginations” (Prov. 6:18; Lam. 3:60-61). It could read, “I know the imaginations I have for YOU…” God has dreams of what He'd like to do for you; are you willing to step into them?

GOD’S DREAMS FOR YOU Jer. 29:11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: NOT FORGIVING, GOING FISHING 1. There was a little boy in the grocery store with his mother. He’d already gotten in trouble for touching things, and was forbidden to touch anything on the shelves. 2. When his Mom had her back turned, she ...read more

Responding To God’s Revelation

Contributed by Kumar Aryal on Oct 26, 2020

Today we will be studying psalm 19, and our message is entitled, ‘Responding to God’s Revelation.’ The word “revelation” implies the fact that God must make Himself known to us. In other words, we cannot know God on our own. So, revelation must come from God’s initiative.

God Of Grace And God Of Glory Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014

Have you ever been in a relationship with someone and it seemed like you could not please them? That’s somewhat true of God, because if you try on the basis of your own behavior to earn God’s approval or his glory, you’ll miss the target every time.

INTRODUCTION People often say about others, “To know him is to love him!” This is really true of Jesus. To know Jesus is to love him. If you know him, you love him. If you don’t know him, you can’t love him until you do know him. I hope today you will meet him if you ...read more

Considering God’s Choice

Contributed by Donnie Martin on Aug 27, 2002

God’s criterion for choosing His servants is far different from man’s in that man tends to look only at the cover of a man, while God looks at the core of a man.

Text: I Sam.16: 1-5, 13a Intro: If you were going to choose someone to do an important job, what would be your criteria? Would they have to have the finest educational background, be a picture of vigor and health, and exude charisma, or would they simply have to be able to do the job, and ...read more
