    Last in series. The demons feared him. The disciples trusted him. You know him. He is the Holy One of God and he is our friend.

    The Holy One The Demons Feared Him Mark 4:21-26 21 Jesus and his followers went to Capernaum. On the Sabbath day He went to the synagogue and began to teach. 22 The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught like a person who had authority, not like their teachers of the law. 23 Just ...read more

In great detail, He predicts the things about to befall Him. Mark 10:33,34. James and John come to ask for places of favor in His glory at ...read more

    based on 174 ratings
     | 6,618 views

    Even though drinking hits home with our families and friends, we must oppose it to stop it from destroying those whom we love.

    INTRO: Do I have to try to impress you with the statistics? You already know them. Even unbelievers are alarmed at the rise in alcoholism, drunk driving, and broken homes. The problem of drinking today is “staggering”. We need to be sympathetic with alcoholics who try to break their addiction, but ...read more

    I want to talk about what Job’s friends did that was right. They blew it later, but when they first came to Job, they were wonderful.

Huegel First Baptist Church of Wallingford January 29, 2006 Job’s Three Friends 11 When Job’s three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite, heard about all the troubles that had come ...read more

    Friendship With God

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Feb 6, 2006
    based on 14 ratings
     | 8,769 views

    Prayer is more than just asking God. It is communion between two friends. God seeks friendship with man, for He is an intensely personal God.

    The passage we’ve just read today is prayer – when a man meets God and talks to Him. It is, the Bible says, “as a man speaks with his friend” (v.11). We will not fully understand prayer if we think about it only as something to do with asking something from God. Prayer is not just about ...read more

    Love Breakts The Rules Series

    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Jul 31, 2005
    based on 34 ratings
     | 5,793 views

    In the story of Jesus healing the paralytic, we see the love of the man’s friends and the love of Jesus coming breaking the rules in order to change lives.

    Matthew 9:2-7 “Love Breaks the Rules” INTRODUCTION What is love? Love is a popular word in the English language. Perhaps its popularity has led to its over use and its loss of meaning. Certainly “I love spaghetti,” means something very different from the, “I love you,” that we whisper to our ...read more

    The sermon uses "Linebacker Evangelism" (which can be seen and/or purchased at sermoncentral.com) to set the stage for a Friend Day later in the month.

    OPEN: VIDEO: Linebacker Evangelism (offered on-line by Sermoncentral.com) APPLY: I fell in love with that video the first time I saw it because it makes fun of the idea of forced evangelism (something I HAVE to do!) while at the same time highlighting why we often don’t talk to others about our ...read more

    The Compassion Of Your Savior

    Contributed by David Richardson on Mar 25, 2007
     | 2,190 views

    Why did Jesus stay at the Jordan while His sick friend, Lazarus, lay dying in Bethany? Maybe a story like this one was the reason.

    The Compassion of Your Savior John 11:31-32 31 When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there. 32 When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she ...read more

    How can we infiltrate our culture without letting it’s values infiltrate us? Daniel and his friends faced this issue...

    One of the questions thoughtful Christians often ask when we’re trying to live incarnationally – putting flesh on the gospel – is how far should we go in accommodating ourselves to our culture? What’s OK for a Christian to do and what’s not when we’re trying to reach people where we are? For ...read more

    With all these recent events that had taken place, Jesus wanted His closest and dearest friends and relatives to know Who He really was.

    (Jesus at the) First Church of Nazareth Introduction: One part of preaching that can be fun is coming up with titles for sermons. Titles can say little or nothing, or they can say a mouthful. Do you notice anything missing from this one tonight? The answer may not be that obvious at first…the ...read more

    No One Likes A Bullying God Series

    Contributed by Troy Luttrell on Mar 21, 2014
     | 5,651 views

    This sermon addresses the question that if God is a God of love and mercy, why does the Bible seem to suggest that God is more like a bully that He is friend.

    Background: • Last week we talked about whether it is possible for God to change His mind. And we learned that God’s heart is set to move to one of two positions depending on man’s reaction….judgment for wickedness; mercy and forgiveness for ...read more

    Friend, unless you feel that you are doing a great work for the great God, we can never see explosion in our Christian circle!

    I am doing a great work! Nehemiah 6:3 “And I sent messengers to them, saying, "I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?" Friend, unless you feel that you are doing a great work for the great God, we can never ...read more
