    Waiting On God

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 14, 2010
    based on 9 ratings
     | 12,974 views

    Waiting on God is one of the most difficult things to do. Apparently the whole life secret lies in it. What does waiting on the Lord include? Let me put it in three brief exhortations. Keep near Him; keep still; expect.

    Illustration: Themistocles, who led the Greeks in the famous naval battle of Salamis, for some reason unknown to his troops, delayed the engagement. It was expected that he would avail himself of the early morning hours; and when what seemed the golden opportunity had gone in inactivity, there were ...read more

    Worship is not always a holy activity.

    “Live it Up!” Romans 12:1“Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, {which is} your spiritual service of worship. (NASB) There are many skewed pictures of living it up; High-society images of ...read more

    Since each of you will spend ten years of your life talking - it is of utmost importance that we submit our tongues to Christ and give Him control over their use

    Fervent Foot Faith

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 14, 2009
     | 3,877 views

    We must put feet on our faith. Evangelism is credible if we make certain our lives are clean, if we expose what we believe to others, and if we go confidently into the world with our faith.

    Feet are ugly. That’s what someone suggested to me the (other day. Feet are ugly. I can’ t remember why that subject came up, but she insisted that feet are bony, unkempt, twisted, weird, and much the worse for wear after forty or fifty years of use. She said, if I recall correctly, that God must ...read more

    We find that we have dallied or been irresponsible, and the things we said we want to accomplish are impossible at this late date. But God is capable of redeeming even that element of irresponsibility if we renew our commitment to Him.

    "No one ever spoke the way this man does." That was the assessment of the temple guardians who had been sent out to arrest Jesus. His speech left a lasting mark on their minds and hearts. What was it in Jesus' speech that transformed these men?

    Freedom is not found in discarding the yoke of Christ; it's found in losing our own burden. It's not found in discarding his authority; it's an amazing truth that freedom is found under the yoke of Christ.

    'Un' is a prefix meaning “not”. Last week my sermon was about our unchanging God. Recently I saw a clip focusing on other 'un's that pertained to God and I thought it would be good to expound on some of them. This week we'll look at how God is unequaled.

    GOD IS UNEQUALED INTRODUCTION: 'Un' is a prefix meaning “not,” freely used as an English formative, giving negative or opposite force in adjectives and their derivative adverbs and nouns (unfair; unfelt; unseen; unrest; unemployment).
