    Trusting In Ravens Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 8, 2011
    based on 154 ratings
     | 50,094 views

    Why would God use Ravens to feed Elijah. They’re disgusting, unclean, anti-social and cruel birds. Why didn’t God use a simpler and more pleasing way of meeting Elijah’s needs?

    OPEN: Years ago I read the story of a man by the name of Wally who owned a farm in Connecticut. He had a remarkable talent he had with birds. Chickadees specifically. It seems that every morning these little birds would flutter down and land on his hands. And it wasn’t just for food; He’d talk ...read more

    How do you tell whether you’ve got the real thing and not a poor imitation? What am I talking about faith, have you simply got religous faith or saving faith? This sermon will show the distiction between the genuine from the fake.

    Eph 2:8- 10. Article 14. Saving faith.” The real thing” • Have you got faith?

     | 13,191 views

    Series on men and women’s prayers in the Bible that made a difference and how prayer truly is the difference maker in our lives. I borrowed the outlines from SermonCentral Pro Contributor Tim Byrd.

    based on 84 ratings
     | 41,732 views

    If the Gospel message is all about Jesus coming to die for our sins... why would God waste ink telling about the birth of a baby Jesus in a manger? What possible impact could that story have on our understanding of God’s gift of salvation?

    OPEN: Santa Claus has come into the 21st century – he has an email now. Apparently you can email Santa at Emailsanta.com. It seems they get over a million emails a year, and among those emails are these intriguing comments: • A boy named Jon wrote: “I’m sorry, but I don’t have a chimney... I’ll ...read more

    Faith comes to most of us some packaged form. In the lives of many Christians it is never unpacked - it remains in the box.

    I have had this idea for a sermon illustration rattling around in my brain. Today seemed like the perfect day to use it. A few weeks ago now I referenced the beginnings of this illustration. It actually began with new siding and windows on our home. That meant a new deck. The old one was an ...read more

    "The First Social Network" Hebrews 10:25 Introduction: Recently I read some research about trends in church attendance in America today and one point that was made in the article seemed very contradictory.

    Paul said that he hoped that he might share in Jesus' suffering. Seriously? Why would he want that?

    An extremely nervous patient came for root canal surgery. He was made comfortable in the reclining dental chair a numbing agent was injected around the tooth, and then the dentist left the room for a few minutes while the medication took hold. When the dentist returned, the patient was standing ...read more

     | 10,130 views

    Maybe they call it a relationship because it can seem like we're on a ship. Sometimes the seas are nice and calm and sometimes they are stormy. And sometimes it can go from calm to stormy in a matter of moments. We need to learn how to navigate.

    CONDUCTING HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS Maybe they call it a relation-ship because in our relationships it can seem like we're on a ship.

    “doing Things You’ve Never Done To Get Things You’ve Never Gotten.”

    Contributed by John Gaston on May 24, 2016
     | 9,622 views

    We can’t continue our half-hearted, part-time Christianity and expect dynamic N.T. results. Rather, we must attempt to adopt Bible devotion, practices, and obedience – then we can expect to have Bible results!

    DOING THINGS WE’VE NEVER DONE TO GET THINGS WE’VE NEVER GOTTEN INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: HE LOVED DRIVING TRAINS 1. In the early days of Texas, there was a man who drove trains for a living. He loved his job, but he was too reckless and caused a crash. He lived, but a one person died. He ...read more

     | 38,439 views

    When Israel decided to turn back to God wholeheartedl, there was great spiritual revival in that country and God delivered them from their enemy.

    The Bible says in verse 2 that all the people of Israel decided to turn back to the Lord. Wow. That is a very good news. When all the people of the entire nation turned back to God is something newsworthy. Why? What happened before that? Why is this turning to the Lord very significant for ...read more

    The Day Jesus Wept Series

    based on 207 ratings
     | 67,844 views

    Odd things about this story: Why does the Bible tells us "Jesus wept"? And why didn’t Jesus "show up" a few days earlier and make sure Lazarus didn’t die? Why allow this close personal friend to die, and allow his friends and family to mourn?

    OPEN: Back in March of 2008, the mayor of a city in SW France had a problem. It seems his village was running out of space. Not in housing, nor in the retail district, nor even at City Hall. It seems they were running out of space… in the cemetery. There was no room for any more graves. It was ...read more
