    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.

    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

    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
     | 5,271 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

     | 5,930 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

     | 4,772 views

    The gospel message ofJesus Christ is the essence of teaching by those of the early Church. The question is, How do we respond to that Gospel message? The Church at Colossae received it, sent it out, and found it to be the Power of God.

    THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST TO THE CHURCH AT COLOSSAE Colossians 1:3-14 Here is a link to an MP3 recording of this sermon: http://chirb.it/bqxyKD INTRODUCTION: 1.) I have decided to continue with where i had left off last week and to preach a series of messages from the book of ...read more

    What Do We Do When Tragedy Strikes?”

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 2, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,194 views

    This section of God's Word shows us how two people responded to a tragedy. One example comes from a widow whose son died. The other comes from one of the greatest prophets in the Old Testament, Elijah.

    At some point it will likely happen to most of us. For each of us it will be different and yet the same. It will leave us with tears in our eyes and pain in our hearts. We call them tragedies—something that seems to turn our lives upside down. Because we live in a world stained by sin these ...read more

     | 5,312 views

    We need to remember / Never Forget that Someday we will be “summoned” / To give an account. • This does not necessarily happen on the other side. • It can happen any day as God responds to our unforgiveness.

    The High Cost of Unforgiveness Matthew 18:21-35 Several years ago, we were looking to buy a new car. • We found one we wanted, but we discovered that it cost more than we could afford. • Most of us in life find that we have a limit to what we can or will pay for an item. Jesus ...read more

    Humanity is the same as before and Jesus addressed the needs by responding to racism, bearing arms,socialism, infanticide, government relations and civil disobedience, and world religions. The scriptures make clear what attitudes He wants us to have.

    Jesus on Current Issues of His Day Which Still Apply Today Kelly Durant Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. 2.

     | 27,717 views

    When we cry out to God and nothing happens, how can we help but feel something's not quite right. We oftentimes suggest that the problem is on the side of God and not on the side of the Listener. Be assured God does respond.

    TITLE: WHEN GOD IS SILENT SCRIPTURE: PSALM 22:1-2 / PSALM 102:1-7 A few nights ago I was watching the news and as News Anchors were switching over quickly to one another, something did not go right. In the middle of the News Broadcast there was an inexplicable moment of silence. This is ...read more

    A perspective on John 12: 1-8. What happens at this evening meal is extraordinary. The perfume was worth a years salary, and Mary gave it freely and willingly to anoint the feet of Jesus. How will you respond to salvation, to the perfume of grace?

    John 12: 1-8 The Perfume of Grace Past events can be re-called, remembered through the help of pictures, stories and even pleasant aromas. Toast reminds me of breakfast as its aroma fills the house and beckons me to have more. For some Jewish people the aroma of BBQ lamb contributes to remind ...read more

    God has a Time, Purpose and Direction in our Lives. He expects us to respond to His Call and submit. Denying this call of God is an Irreversible mistake. Learn more as Pastor Sumeet expounds this topic with deeper revelations.

    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

     | 2,871 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
