    Giving With Grace Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 24, 2003
    based on 38 ratings
     | 13,013 views

    God not only required a tithe in the Old Testament, He challenged His people to respond to Him when He says, “Test me in this.” This is the only time in the Bible when God tells us to test Him.

    Giving With Grace That drama really captures the different attitudes that people have about giving. Some feel pressured or guilty, while others of us find a lot of joy when we give ­ if we remember to bring our wallets! That reminds me of a man and his son who went to church together. On their ...read more

    Though the prophet was asking questions as complaining man so often does, & maybe not even expecting an answer, God responds. The Lord is not indifferent or insensitive. He is concerned about the affairs of earth & especially the conduct of His people.

    Habakkuk 1:5-11 GOD’S PREPARED AN ANSWER Though the prophet was asking questions as complaining man so often does, and maybe not even expecting an answer, God responds. The Lord is not indifferent or insensitive. He is concerned about the affairs of earth and especially the conduct of His ...read more

    Proper Attitudes Of Prayer Series

    Contributed by Rule Digal on Aug 11, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,322 views

    Prayer is our communication line to God. Let us keep it always open, operative, and if possible, busy. God is very eager to respond to our prayers more than we are eager to receive the answer of our prayers.

    Attitudes of Prayer Luke 11: 5-13 Note: Some materials of this sermon are taken from sermoncentral.com This morning we will examine the parable which is commonly called: “The Friend at Midnight.” Jesus gave this parable to His disciples after giving them the model prayer in response to their ...read more

    Prayer Of Examination

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Oct 3, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,577 views

    Prayer is the main way we connect and communicate with our heavenly father. I believe that when God’s people do as David did and see the greatness of God and respond with a cry for deep examination revival will come.

    Intro: Our planned revival time is drawing close. September 14 through 17 is our scheduled fall revival. I have some important questions to ask you this morning. Is it enough to place the revival meeting on the calendar? Is it enough to contact radio stations and hand out flyers and contact ...read more

    Well Witnessing, Part 3: The Pattern Of Response Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Jan 26, 2009
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,459 views

    When going into a new situation, it’s always good to be prepared for what’s going to happen ahead of time. In this passage, we see how people typically respond to the gospel in one-on-one evangelism.

    Pastor Jim’s blog: http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com As you know, we’ve been in this passage for three weeks now. There’s a reason for that. The reason is that I think this is one of the best passages on personal evangelism in the whole Bible. The Bible is filled with personal evangelism ...read more

    Events 10 To 6 Days Before The Crucifixion Series

    Contributed by John Wright on Mar 27, 2010
    based on 11 ratings
     | 51,496 views

    At least nine outstanding events are reported relating to Christ showing His courage as He was about to experience the crucifixion and He responded so unselfishly He demonstrated His love for lost man over and over again.

    INTRODUCTION 1. Open your bibles please to Matt. 20:17&ff. 2. Do we have anyone present that has ever ridden a donkey? (1) Maybe Heather Walton! Or maybe Joshua or Caleb or Paul? I think that they are the only ones that own donkeys. (2) Misty used to ride a barrel racing horse. Most of you ...read more

    Who's Using You?

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 13, 2011
     | 4,184 views

    How do respond when someone hurts you? Is it with veiled hatred and open contempt? The Apostle Paul had to deal with just such a situation and how he handled it can help us to deal with pain in a godly way.

    Sometimes the right thing to do is confront bad behavior or attitudes. As a leader there have been times when I have had to call someone on the carpet. It’s never easy and too often that person does not receive the exhortation or even rebuke well. As a leader, my job is to protect and nurture ...read more

    We don’t have same degrees of faith, but Jesus responds to faith no matter how weak and small it is. When we believe, He shares His power and something happens in our lives.

    Intro: If you wanted to greet someone in Hebrew, you would say, “Shalom” (Peace) – the same word Jesus used in our text. Summary of Mark 5:21–24: Jesus had been in Capernaum on the western shores of the Lake of Galilee. He had sailed southeast to the Gentile section of ...read more

    Sin In The Camp

    Contributed by George Stadler on Feb 5, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,582 views

    The Church has become Anemic in these days of winking at sin. The story of Achan's sin calls us to respond to sin in our congregations and our personal lives to again have the blessing of God and his power to defeat the enemy.

    Sin in the Camp Joshua 7:1-26 I don’t know you, other than perhaps a casual meeting at one time or another. I am not your pastor so I do not have to worry about what you may think. I’m not a DS or GS so politics are the least of my worries. • I am a sinner saved by ...read more

    The Call

     | 5,335 views

    Have you heard the 'call' of Christ? Have you responded to that call? Do you make it a priority in your life - every day? This sermon investigates the Scriptures and asks us to apply them to our daily lives.

    The Call A little geography before we begin. The Sea of Galilee is an oval-shaped body of water about eight miles wide and 15 miles long. It sits about 700 feet below sea level. It sits between Syria and Israel. Luke mentioned in his writings that some 240 boats were ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 2,652 views

    It is what happens in these intervening years before the "some time later..." that determines my destiny. It is those things appropriated and applied in the EVERYDAY that determine how I will respond to God when the crunch comes "some time later".

    Part 3 - Genesis 22:1-11 - WHEN IT COMES TO THE CRUNCH... Day after day the drudgery of books had began to depress me. Don't misunderstand. I love reading books. I was working in a warehouse at the time. Two of us would work in a large cubicle to pack books into boxes according to a computer order ...read more

    Conspiring For Kindness: Part 3 Series

    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,898 views

    In this weeks sermon we continue in Luke 6 in our talk of kindness by focusing on how we respond to others - do we pick on them ,condemn them, or just use them to get what we want.

    ______________________________________________ 1. The Kindness Tab: We share peace We share hope and love We share faith - in God and even in others So we conspire to give away kindness purposefully, to seek for opportunities of kindness So we conspire to be “un-satisfied” in our kindness - we are ...read more

    Who Are You? Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,875 views

    When the Pharisees approach John the Baptist demanding to know his credentials John never responds with who he is, but who he knows and who he represents. Learn the value of being an agent for Jesus Christ.

    How do you want people to think of you? I guess it depends on the situation-and your age. When I was younger I wanted to be cool, and I was so not. Today I could be thought of in many roles: husband, son, father, pastor, writer, or musician. When I’m with other pastors I could want to be thought of ...read more

    The Reporter's Gospel

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 22, 2006

     | 2,650 views

    Luke presents Jesus as a man, yet with a miraculous birth. Chapter 1 brings us a transition from Old to New Covenants, and two ways of receiving God’s Word - which way do you respond?

    As many of you know, I worked for many years in the television industry as a reporter. It was a fun job for a while - you got to do things and meet people that you normally wouldn’t. I met presidents and famous actors, rode in helicopters perched on the sides of snow covered mountains, stood in ...read more

    This sermon looks at four facts of Worship. Worship is: 1. Focusing and Responding to GOD 2. Conducted In Spirit and In TRUTH 3. Expected Both Publicly and PRIVATELY 4. A Discipline to be Learned and PRACTICED (Sermon 6 in this series)

    Worship As An Act Of Discipleship Today we are continuing our sermon series: Disciplines Of Discipleship. Our focal verse for this series is from First Timothy chapter four and verse seven.
