    Agree With God

    Contributed by Marilyn Murphree on Oct 7, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 11,280 views

    We often say things that overrule what God has said and then we wonder why our prayers are not answered. He tells us he is the Lord that healeth us and we disagree because we still have pain in our body and do not feel healed.

    Agree with God Job 22:21-25 ESV “Agree with God, and be at peace, thereby good will come to you. Receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart. If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up” (English Standard Version). We often say things that overrule what God has ...read more

    What is the main lesson we learn from the Book of Esther?

    I want to begin my sermon this morning with complete honesty – yours, not mine. Here is the question: How many of you glance, not read or buy but glance at the tabloids when you in the Supermarket checkout? How many of you read the tabloids’ headlines? I saw one that read: • Royal Couple ...read more

    The Rejected God

    We can call ourselves Christians, go to church, give our tithes, etc. and yet have rejected God effectively. The picture Jeremiah gives of life in Judah comes close to life in the Christian West, with several gods competing for our loyalty.

    [Sermon preached on 4 March 2018, 3rd Sunday in Lent / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] It is so endearing at times to see little children in a big supermarket or shopping mall. They come in with mom or dad, but as soon as they see something interesting—toys, candies, pets, or anything else that ...read more

    On the way to meet his extranged brother Esau, Jacob experienced a strange encounter with a "man," who Jacob identified as God himself.

    WRESTLING WITH GOD Please turn to Genesis 32. Having made a covenant of peace with Laban, his nettlesome father-in-law, Jacob traveled southward through the country east of the Jordan River. The “angels of God” met him there. Their purpose seems to have been to set up a meeting between Jacob and ...read more

    God moves the remnant through Haggai and Zechariah to restart the rebuilding of the Temple of God. He assures and encourages them.

    The rebuilding of the Temple of God came to a halt, because of the harassment from the Samaritans and the pressure from the Persian officials. • And it stopped for 16 years, until the 2nd year of King Darius’ reign. With the Temple unbuilt, God was left out of their mind and their lives. • The ...read more

     | 16,700 views

    Paul asks us to do the seemingly impossible: to mimic Jesus! Luckily we are given four substantial aids to accomplish this feat. All Christians need to hear this message!

    BE IMITATORS OF GOD Eph. 5:1-2 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A man in a limousine saw a family on the side of the road eating grass. He told his chauffer to turn around and pull over next to them. 2.

    Contributed by David Owens on Nov 5, 2018
     | 4,889 views

    In this sermon, we discuss the fact that sex is good, but when sex is used outside of God's intended ways, the god of sex twists it into something destructive.

     | 13,278 views

    We should thank God that He is genuinely and wisely good to us as His children.

    God is good, all the time! We readily affirm this to be true whenever good things happen to us, but what about when our circumstances aren’t so good? Is God still good? The answer is “yes.” The significance of God’s goodness is that He is always good, even when what’s happening to me or those I ...read more
