    Oswald Chambers makes a revolutionary observation about prayer. This is a detailed look of different aspects of prayers, and word studies about prayer. Lastly we consider Oswald Chamber’s comment, looking at the Scriptural connections to it.

    PRAYER NOURISHES THE NEW LIFE Dan. 1:15 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. THE MECHANIC a. Linda meets up with her friend Jill as she is picking her car up from the mechanic.

    Arachnophobia For Some – However Spiders Are Wonderful Teachers Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 1, 2022
     | 2,390 views

    Nature is a great teacher and by observing God's creatures there is much we can learn for our Christian lives. In this message we examine the habits of spiders to gain insights for our lives. God bless you all.

    ARACHNOPHOBIA FOR SOME – HOWEVER SPIDERS ARE WONDERFUL TEACHERS I prepared this about 20 years ago, so when I use “today”, well - it was back then. Here we make applications to Christian living derived from the habits of spiders. This is an address rather than a sermon and prepared for smaller ...read more

    First Sunday Of Lent, Year A- The Tactics Of Temptation

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 21, 2023
     | 1,479 views

    C.S. Lewis made an astute observation in his masterful Screwtape Letters: the devil cannot manufacture real goods or pleasures; he’s stuck with the ones God has made and for which our natures have an inclination.

    I saw this Cartoon of Satan tempting Jesus, saying: “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a medium rare ribeye steak with truffle butter.” [Jesus is thinking to himself, “He’s getting better at this.”] Note that Jesus did not say, “Man cannot live by coffee alone, but he will ...read more

    Exploring Exodus 3, we observe how an ordinary bush becomes a vessel for God's presence. It serves as God's dwelling place, His mouthpiece, and a site of purity and transformation. It ultimately stands as an everlasting witness to God's power and glory.

    Good morning and welcome in the name of Jesus, our Savior and Lord. Today, I want us to reflect on a simple yet powerful thought from the book of Exodus. It is this: Without God's fire, a bush is just a bush. In Exodus chapter three, we read about a regular thorn bush that caught Moses' attention ...read more

    The Corrupt And Despised In Heaven

    Contributed by Jason Jones on Jun 4, 2025
     | 296 views

    Today we are reminded of the eternal importance of your words matching up with you deeds, especially as it relates to internal realities.

    Background to passage, Matthew 21:28-32: after the confrontation about Jesus’s authority and John the Baptist, Jesus tells a series of three parables. They have a common thread, the failure, indictment, and judgement of the Jewish leaders. This is the first - The Two Sons. Opening illustration: ...read more

    Don't Be Corrupted - Unleavened Vs. Leavened

    Contributed by William R. Nabaza on Aug 27, 2015
     | 3,421 views

    To show that we need to live lives in an unclean world. James 1:27 (Amplified Bible) External religious worship [religion as it is expressed in outward acts] that is pure and unblemished in the sight of God the Father is this: to visit and help and care

I'm unleavened because I walk by faith. 2 Corinthians 5:7 2 Corinthians 5:7 (Amplified Bible) For we walk by faith [we regulate our lives and conduct ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, ...read more

    Assumptions. We all have them. We all make them. In fact, we live our lives assuming that our assumptions about people and situations are accurate. It takes something strikingly different to make us stop and look at things from a different perspective.

    God Is Love: That's Why He Created Hell

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 18, 2021
     | 2,058 views

    This is a revision of a sermon I posted over a year ago on another website. The subject matter is more timely than ever considering the rapid descent into evil and chaos we have witnessed recently. Come quickly, Lord Jesus.

    There are some things that are getting more hard to find as the days draw nearer to the LORD'S return, such as ethical politicians, intelligent leftists, happy liberals, competent leadership, and sound Biblical preaching on the reality and horror of a literal, real place called hell. Now ...read more

    Return To God Series

     | 10,262 views

    The first call of prophet Zechariah was a call not to repeat the mistake of their forefathers and return to God while they still can. Now that they have returned to their homeland, they are to stay faithful to God.

    Zechariah is not an easy book to read and understand, but we will try and learn together over these few months. God has important words for His people. • It’s difficult because God speaks not only to the present situation in Judah (with the people now engaging in rebuilding the Temple) but also ...read more

    There is a great disconnect today between faith and a vital relationship with Jesus. You don't have to look far to see the results. Riots, rage, racial division. When our emotions control us we miss out on the freedom Jesus promised.

    Passion: The Holy Spirits Power to Handle your Emotions Emotional Freedom Intro: What do you think of to fill in the blank when I say, Emotions are out of __________ today.

    Desperate For Jesus

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 1,945 views

    I believe that there really is such a place for that kind of desperation in our lives today. However, most important is the discernment of what it is that we want for ourselves.

    Opening illustration: Healing of a Hindu gentleman [in the Middle-East] who opened his house for prayer and became a Christian at his time of deepest need and crisis. Introduction: The story of this woman has always fascinated me for nowhere else in the scripture can we find a healing literally ...read more

    Margin Of Grace

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Dec 23, 2023
     | 1,528 views

    The reason God has given us a margin of grace is so that we might reconsider and draw near to him, not to remove the consequences of staying at arms length.

    Nearly a quarter-century after most of the world signed a convention outlawing the use of antipersonnel landmines, the number of people being killed or maimed by these insidious and lethal weapons remains high—and rising. The Landmine Monitor for 2021, released on November 10, reported 7,073 ...read more

    The Only Way To Salvation!

    Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Feb 6, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,800 views

    There is only one way to be saved. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through Me." Jesus is the only way to Heaven. Reject Him, and you reject everlasting life!

    Acts 4:12 says, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved". Salvation is the theme of the text here; but what does salvation mean? When anyone is saved, does it simply mean that he or she is saved from ...read more

    Where do you find your "self-worth"? Is it in God, or in yourself? The Pharisees looked for their importance in themselves and ended up robbing God of His glory to gain their own. How can avoid the traps that ensnared these highly religious leaders?

    OPEN: "Sometime, when you're feeling important Sometime, when your ego's in bloom Sometime when you take it for granted, You're the best qualified man in the room.
