    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jan 1, 2001
    based on 176 ratings
     | 7,805 views

    Discouragement comes when we focus on the problem rather than God, on the wonders of God rather than the Word of God, on our inadequacies rather than God’s resources.

    We find ourselves at an interesting time of history. Perhaps, more than any other time, we find ourselves polarized as a people. During the world wars the country seemed to come together in patriotic unity, but with the absence of war, and the influx of prosperity, we seemed to have lost ...read more

    based on 44 ratings
     | 11,925 views

    God frequently trims our resources to get us to depend entirely on Him. When we’re serving in God’s army we become part of the “overwhelming minority.”

    “The Sword of the Lord" Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts Many of us are familiar with the management concept of downsizing—we’re told to “do more with less”. However, nations don’t usually downsize when preparing for war! They mobilize their reserves ...read more

    Spiritual Seeds Of Stewardship

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Apr 1, 2008
     | 2,709 views

    From the beginning of creation man was placed under God’s authority and given responsibility. That responsibility was to be a caretaker of the resources God had provided. Learn where the seeds of stewardship are planted.

    Intro: Was stewardship made up by the early ministers of the church? Did they merely preach it to fill the coffers or offering plates? Is stewardship simply the way that pastors and other “ministers” multiply their earnings? Many of you know that is not the case. However there may be as much ...read more

    Envision: The Great Commission

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 982 views

    Jesus doesn’t send us into this world, lost world without any resources. He doesn’t expect us to accomplish this Great Commission in our own power.

    Opening illustration: When Jesus spoke these words directly to His disciples, and indirectly to us, He was giving the church her marching orders. He was telling exactly what He expected us to do in His physical absence. The disciples took the Lord’s command seriously. They went into the world and ...read more

    The three points of this sermon and a good bit of the content is borrowed from a sermon by Ray Pritchard (see the resources at the end of the sermon). The key to facing hard times is learning to wait on the Lord.
