    What To Do When Bad Things Happen To God's People

    Contributed by Richard A. Bradley on Mar 5, 2012
    based on 19 ratings
     | 16,698 views

    God's people often ask "Why has this happened to me?" However, God is not so much interested in why as "what." In this fallen world we cannot prevent bad things from happening. What we do in response to them is another question.

    WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOD’S PEOPLE? Acts 16:25-34 25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the ...read more

    Freedom To Choose

    Contributed by Paul Searight on Mar 28, 2010
    based on 7 ratings
     | 18,155 views

    In Christ we have freedom to choose. In a choice laden world do we make the right choices. We made the big choice, God, but are we daily making the right choices? Are we taking our sin seriously? With freedom comes responsibility.

    Freedom to Choose When I was working on the book I published on the Great British Hymns – John Parker and I visited Oxford and whilst there visited one of the oldest English churches in the centre of Oxford. On a pillar near the pulpit was a small plaque commemorating those men martyred by ...read more

    Anxiety: Fear Of Losing Control Series

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Sep 10, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,979 views

    Anxiety and worry come from trying to grab a hold of something that doesn't belong to us. Control of the situations that surround us. The Bible makes clear we are to control our responses to our environment and to others. We should seek self-control.

    Intro: The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety. George Muller Massena, one of Napoleon's generals, suddenly appeared with 18,000 soldiers before an Austrian town which had no means of defending itself. The town council met, certain that ...read more

    Worshipping Face Down

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 6, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,811 views

    This is a topical message related to worship. I want to examine the worship-related action of falling face down before the Lord in response to His glorious presence. This message ties into Matt Redman's book entitled "Face Down."

    This evening I am going to be sharing a topical message related to worship. I want us to examine the worship-related action of falling face down before the Lord; so, I have entitled our sermon/Bible study, “Worshipping Face Down.” The title of our message is also found in a book on worship called ...read more

    Serving With Integrity And Passion Series

     | 3,301 views

    God placed it upon Paul's heart that the church in Crete needed to grow up to maturity. Titus had demonstrated that he was ready for the responsibility of organizing the churches in Crete; he would lead the people to avoid the Cretan worldview and the legalism of the Jews.

    “Come, follow me.” The words resound with authority that could emanate only from the heart of God. My heart is tenderly touched each time I view a video clip that depicts the early disciple walking away from their known life to live according to a calling God places upon their lives. As the ...read more

    An Outline Of Acts 5:17-42

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 6, 2021
     | 3,060 views

    The apostles were taken into custody another time and stood trial the next day. Compare what Peter said, and what Gamaliel said, as responses to the charges! This outline is revised from one I used in preaching a miniseries on Acts several years ago.

    Introduction: the apostles were healing people, through the power of God, so much that even people from outside Jerusalem were bringing their sick folks there for healing. Verses 12-16 give a brief summary of these activities. All of this no doubt led to the high priest and others taking action to ...read more

    24 The City-Wide Repenting Series

     | 2,815 views

    This devotion is about the City-wide Repenting that took place in response to Jonah's preaching to the people of Nineveh. This is the 24th of 31 devotions on the book of Jonah, where a comparison is made between Jonah and today's Church-at-large.

    The City-wide Repenting Jonah 3:5 – “So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them. 6 Then word came to the king of Nineveh; and he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ...read more

    Jesus' Call To Follow Him

     | 5,520 views

    Jesus is reaching out to this generation calling them to follow Him. He wants to pour Himself into them to make authentic reproductions of Himself. His call supersedes all other earthly responsibilities. Do we have enough of Jesus to reproduce Him?

    JESUS' CALL TO FOLLOW HIM Mk. 1:14-20 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Career planning 1.

    In response to the Jews accusations, Jesus answers that his testimony is valid, because he knows where he has come from and where he is going. He is the Son of God. Those who believe in him will listen to his words and obey them.

    Sermon by Rev George Hemmings Meet Peter. He’s an average, Aussie bloke. Not long after he got married, he left a career in Sydney to move to the country and raised a family.

    Forsaken By God? Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 16,183 views

    In his fourth word from the cross, Jesus expresses being forsaken by God. He points out to the exchange that happened that day: our sin on him, God's forgiveness on us. Our right response is to live thankful lives that count the cost of sin.

    Forsaken by God? Seven Last Words from the Cross Part 4 * Matthew 27:45-46 Have you ever been in a God-forsaken place? Maybe it was a TDY trip to the middle of nowhere. Worse yet, maybe it was a PCS! And the word “permanent” in permanent change of station becomes a curse. Or maybe your ...read more

    Even though fathers were responsible for their son’s education, Judaism and Greco-Roman aristocrats wanted mothers to be knowledgeable so they could impart knowledge to their young children (This is true even though Judaism did not provide women with advanced education.).

    Mary A Terrific Teenager

    Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Dec 3, 2019
     | 3,351 views

    The Roman Catholic Church has defied this young girl and in response, many Protestants have demoted her as some kind of second-class servant of God. This is wrong because she, like her Son, was one of God's suffering servants.

    MARY - THE TERRIFIC TEENAGER Luke 1:26-38 A remarkable thing about God is that he trusts us with His work. He trusted men and women in Bible times to receive and record His revelations of Himself. He entrusted His church with His supreme revelation, Jesus, and with the great commission ...read more
