    God’s Lost And Found Department

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 17, 2015
     | 8,040 views

    God loves everyone, especially the "wrong crowd". He wants us to know the joy of a life lived in God. He invites us to join Him in the great treasure hunt-the hunt for lost souls-and bring the great treasure to Him when we have found it.

    A minister died and was waiting in line at the Pearly Gates. Ahead of him was a guy who was dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket and jeans. Saint Peter addressed the guy, "Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you to the Kingdom of Heaven?" The guy replied, "I'm Joe ...read more

    The Truth Of The Word

    Contributed by Dr. David Wesner on May 14, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,742 views

    God intended for His Word to be spoken with authority. It must not be taken lightly. It must be approached as if it contained all the power of the universe, which it does.

    I believe that many people are, without realizing it, shaping their relationship with God based on excuses. Lack of time is our most popular excuse. Lack of comprehension is a close second. People say to me, “Time is a problem, for sure, but my real problem with the Bible is that I just ...read more

    In the midst of life’s storms, it takes faith to walk upon the crests of the waves.

    Hope Floats, but Faith Walks Background Text: Matthew 14:22-33 A. Location affects perception - When in the midst of a crisis, we are not only influenced by our own emotion, but by the emotion and perception of others. (“Boy I’d hate to be in your shoes” “What are you ...read more

    Whose Voice Will You Believe

    Contributed by Sheryln Miller on Apr 5, 2017
     | 3,509 views

    The believer is challenged to know and heed God's voice verses the world or Satan's voice.

    Some are falling away from the faith and will spend eternity, separated from God. In 2 Peter 2:4, Peter basically says, if God did not spare the angels who sinned against Him, what do you think He will do to those who reject Him after they have experienced fellowship with Him? According to Jesus ...read more

    There will be the test of the seductions which seek to lure us from the right way. There will be the tests of the dangers, the sacrifices, and the unpopularity, which are so much a part of the Christian way. But they are not meant to make us fall; they are intended to make us soar.

    Title: Perseverance Text: James:1:3-4 (KJV) 3Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

    3. Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. If we meet this testing (“the trying of your faith”) correctly, it will produce unswerving consistency (“patience” or “steadfastness”)

    “The Christian must expect to be jostled by trials on the Christian way.” All kinds of experiences will come to us. There will be the test of our sorrows and disappointments that threaten to take away our faith. There will be the test of the seductions which seek to lure us from the right way.

    The Flesh Is Willing

     | 3,278 views

    Wait… the title of this story is “The Flesh is Willing”, yet this scripture claims it is weak… and it was Jesus who actually said it… so, that must be right! See… the flesh is very willing to do things, to get involved, to perform or get into action… to a fault.

    Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Wait… the title of this story is “The Flesh is Willing”, yet this scripture claims it is weak… and it was Jesus who actually said it… so, that must be right! No, I am not trying ...read more

    The Ten Commandments are central to Western Civilization. There has been much commentary on them. But what does it mean for us?

    No Other gods Before Me: An Exposition of Exodus 20:1-6 We begin this morning a series on the Ten Commandments with a study of the first two commandments. There are actually more than ten commandments if one breaks apart the second commandment and separate the prohibition making of graven images ...read more

    based on 168 ratings
     | 4,832 views

    Footwashing was an EXAMPLE for believers to follow, not a ritual to observe like the Lord’s Table!

    FOOT WASHING - EXAMPLE OR RITUAL? (John 13:3-17) [HTTP formatted version of this sermon is located at http://members.aol.com/abidingitw/footwash.html] The Bible does NOT command New Testament believers to observe foot washing as a Church ritual. 1.

    The Perception Of God’s Plan - Foolishness Of God

    Contributed by Rodney Kelley on Sep 14, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,773 views

    God's plan of Redemption for man seems like foolishness to the lost man but makes sense to the believer.

    Intro: In our text there is a statement that should make us stop in our tracks. For the novice in Scripture or a skeptic, that statement could be misunderstood. In context it is clear. The Bible is not saying God is foolish, but that the most simple thought of God is greater than the greatest ...read more

    Reflection B.17 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? / Isaiah 65:17-25. Heaven, Or The Millennium? Either Way, It’s Good.

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 11, 2020
     | 2,572 views

    The description of 'End Times', and prophecies of judgement may seem gloomy and depressing. No doubt these will be difficult times. But having gone through that, we will come into a very, very good situation.

    In today’s Reflection I’m looking at why we can be encouraged, even as we think about ‘End Times’ and God’s judgement. We don’t know if we are in such a time, but suppose we are? Jesus described the various signs that will accompany ‘End Times’ as ‘the beginning of birth pains.’ Painful, but the ...read more
