    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 21, 2021
     | 6,796 views

    While we are thankful for the blessings associated with our relationship with Christ, we know living the Christian life is difficult at best. Life is not without adversity, but the Lord's provision and guidance are sufficient. He has brought us to this place in life for such a time as this.

    Called for such a Time Esther 4: 10-17 The entire fourth chapter of Esther deals with her reaction to the decree signed by Ahasuerus regarding the Jews and the conversation she had with Mordecai concerning this disturbing plan. Our text today is a continuation of that conversation. One can only ...read more

    Psalm 56:4 is a powerful verse that teaches us about trusting God amid fear and adversity. King David wrote this psalm during a time of great personal distress, and his words resonate deeply with anyone who has faced fear and uncertainty.

    Trusting God in Troubling Times Psalm 56:4 Psalm 56:4 (NLT): "I praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me?" Introduction Today, we delve into Psalm 56:4, a powerful verse that teaches us about trusting God in the midst ...read more

    God works His good through our trials when we pray and when we stay.

    How to Handle Hardship James 1:2-5 Rev. Brian Bill 7/18/10 I came across this response from a man who was asked for additional information from an insurance company. In blank #3 of the accident form, I put “trying to do the job alone” as the cause of my accident. You said in your ...read more

    How can someone respond to Christ without first hearing the message? God sending us to share means we become as prepared as possible to share.

    Do You Have Beautiful Feet? Intro: Last week we looked at the awesome promises in verses 11 and 13. Anyone and everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved and will not be disappointed in the decision they have made. But, we cannot assume for one moment that people are going to ...read more

    We ned to ’roll away the stone’ so Seekers can ’hear’ Jesus and respond. Then we need to ’unwrap them and let them go free’.

    “Take off the grave clothes and let him go!” Jn 11:38-44 WBC 4/1/4 Stunning passage. Stunning words: “Lazarus! Come forth!” Can remember reading it as a new Christian - 22 years on I’m still certain this happened, as written o even more so since my trip to Lagos - it’s gripping and tragic. ...read more

    3 of 4 on becoming Mighty Men of God. This message focuses on the call to service. It involves asking the men and women to respond to a survey taken during the message.

    Mighty Men of God We as men of God have been called to serve But our greatest fear is… failure. Our greatest desire is for significance. How we get that is different for men and women. For men it comes down to a very simple question. “Do you respect, admire and believe in me?” When I was a ...read more

    The lost responded and those of His people that recognized His favor led them into the Kingdom. The rest sit on the side lines to watch the show or criticize it.

    The Coming Harvest The Great Commission and the harvest scriptures are some of the greatest examples of our goal as the Body of Christ to reach the World for God. Christians almost always try to reach the lost thinking like a Christian or from a Christian perspective ...read more

     | 2,073 views

    A short but challenging homily. The disciples were sent to go and get a donkey for Jesus. How do we respond when Jesus asks things of us?

    I have some Christian friends who were convinced about 2 years ago that God was asking them to buy their local pub and to continue to run it as a pub with food and alcohol being served. (At this point those of you who are anti alcohol – for whatever reason - may already be feeling sceptical, but ...read more

    What keeps us from responding to Jesus when we have the opportunity? What beggar’s cloak are you unwilling to let go of?

    April, 2007 Why Cling to a Beggar’s Cloak? “Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.” Mark 10:50 NIV INTRODUCTION: The story of Bartimaeus tells of a man who had been blind for many years--perhaps all of his life. He wore the official beggar’s garment, ...read more

    The Lord responds to those who cry out to him for help. We must admit God is our only source of help; without it we are sunk.

    INTRODUCTION This is the fourth message in the series “No, that’s NOT in the Bible!” We’re examining ten popular statements people think are in the Bible, but they aren’t found in scripture. There are millions of Bibles in America, yet there is an alarming level of biblical ignorance. George Barna ...read more

    In James 5:13-16a, the brother of our Lord teaches us how the Christian ought to respond in times of trouble, happiness, sickness, and sin.

    Scripture James is the brother of our Lord Jesus. Since Jesus was Mary’s firstborn child (Luke 2:7), James was obviously a younger brother. In fact, it is likely that James was the second-oldest of the five sons that Mary had (cf. Mark 6:3). James eventually came to believe that Jesus was in fact ...read more

    Jonah knew God’s grace, but he didn’t want God to be merciful. Jonah complains in anger, but God responds with another lesson in grace.

    Jonah 4:1 (NLT) This change of plans upset Jonah, and he became very angry.
