     | 39,377 views

    As we all look back on our past, there always people or circumstances that cause us to remember pain and suffering. We all experience humiliation and injustices in various extent and we cannot help but ask ourselves. How can I rise above those pains?

    Have you been betrayed by the people you trust? Have you been abandoned by your family? Are you a victim of false accusations and suffering injustice? Have you been punished by the crime that you did not committed? We can surely relate to the story of Joseph after he handles the series of ...read more

     | 28,917 views

    Babel means ‘confusion.’ It’s where we get the word ‘babble.’ And man w/out God is confused, and only God can help man ’rise up’ and make sense of things. Link inc. to formatted text, audio/video, PowerPoint.

    Confusion Genesis 11:1-9 http://gbcdecatur.org/sermons/Confusion.html Babel means ‘confusion.’ It’s where we get the word ‘babble.’ And man w/out God is confused, and only God can help man ’rise up’ and make sense of things. 1) After the Flood, God commanded man to spread abroad, replenish and ...read more

    Trust Above Your Circumstances

    Contributed by Mark Haines on Apr 22, 2011
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,570 views

    Our faith tends to rise and fall based on our circumstances. The more pain we feel the more doubt we express. But Jesus, even as he died on the cross, rose about his feelings of abandonment and entrusted his spirit into the Father’s care.

    Introduction: I saw an article recently entitled, “God’s Friday.” That makes far more sense to me than “Good Friday.” There is nothing good about what happened to Jesus in and around Jerusalem about 2000 years ago. 1. Jesus’ Circumstances • Satan and his ...read more

    It Ain't Easter, Preacher Series

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Aug 8, 2013
     | 3,855 views

    Every time a believer comes to faith in Jesus Christ, it points back to the first Easter almost 2000 years ago. We celebrate that Jesus is risen from the dead. God, the angels, and we rejoice when a former unbeliever rises from the dead to life in Christ.

    It Ain't Easter, Preacher John 20:1-10 First preached in November, 2004 Introduction Last week we learned about how Jesus fulfilled the Scriptures even in death. He gave up His life voluntarily at 3PM, at the exact hour the Passover Lambs started to be slain. The lambs had to be completely ...read more

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Nov 24, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 120 views

    Jesus looks at His disciples in Matthew 10, a chapter full of warnings about persecution, hostility, betrayal, and suffering - He gives them one of the most comforting promises in all of Scripture.Before the world threatens, Jesus assures. Before the opposition rises, Jesus supplies.

    Go! And Be Filled With the Father’s Spirit - Matthew 10:20 INTRODUCTION — GRIPPED BY A PROMISE IN A HOSTILE WORLD Have you ever found yourself in a moment where you simply did not have the words? You stood there — in a hospital corridor, in a workplace confrontation, at a family tension point — ...read more

    Song Of Solomon - Chapter 3 – The Bride's Dream Series

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Sep 28, 2024
    based on 4 ratings
     | 991 views

    The young Bride experiences Divine discipline. The Beloved withholds His presence from her because He wants her to discover that the only safe place in all the world is in rising up in partnership with Him. He holds out until we come to Him in obedience.

    V.3:1 On my bed by night I sought him whom my soul loves; I sought him, but found him not. 2 I will rise now and go about the city, in the streets and in the squares; I will seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but found him not. 3 The watchmen found me as they went about in the city. “Have ...read more

    Glimpses Of Grace Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 8, 2017
     | 10,254 views

    As Jesus ministered among men, He showed great love, grace, and compassion. Whether it was a private moment, or a very public moment, Jesus always responded in power and grace. He continues to meet our needs according to His gracious provision.

    Glimpses of Grace Mark 1: 29-39 The rapid pace of events continues as we progress through Mark’s Gospel. Jesus and the disciples have left the synagogue and immediately entered the house of Simon Peter and Andrew, his brother. This would not be a leisurely afternoon. Upon arriving Jesus begins ...read more

    An Early Christmas Present

    Contributed by W F on Dec 21, 2002
    based on 59 ratings
     | 5,049 views

    In this account of Mary meeting Gabriel we discover that there are at least three benefits we receive from God this side of heaven. They are, knowing that we are PRECIOUS to him, a clear PURPOSE for living, and POWER to grow.

    An Early Christmas Gift Luke 1:26-38 INTRODUCTION Ever received a Christmas gift early? I do sometimes. From time to time my family in England sends presents. They often arrive early, and I have to confess that sometimes I have opened them before Christmas. That part of God’s gift we call ...read more

    Mary: How To Trust God In Times Of Crisis Series

    Contributed by Rick Long on Feb 12, 2004
    based on 109 ratings
     | 23,533 views

    First in the series "Meet the Cast." Mary’s life as we see her through scripture and through this amazing film, teaches us a great deal about how to trust God in times of crisis.

    In Mel Gibson’s movie “The Passion of the Christ” we are introduced to the story of Jesus of Nazareth’s last 12 hours in a very vivid, graphic and brutally honest way. For many of us who have devoted our lives to sharing the gospel, this was, in some way, vindication. Because no matter how much ...read more

    Peter: How To Overcome Despair In Times Of Failure Series

    based on 84 ratings
     | 13,040 views

    Second in the series "Meet the Cast." To really understand how to overcome despair in times of failure, we must see the transformation in Peter’s life after Jesus conquered death and rose from the dead.

    Thank God He uses failures! I’m not sure where I would be if God did not use people who continually mess up. I believe there is man in scripture who can totally relate to this. It’s Peter. As I read the accounts of Peter while he faithfully followed Jesus, I also see a passionate ...read more

    Faith Equals Action Series

    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,853 views

    Faith without works is dead. How often have I heard that sitting in the pews. James talks about meeting peoples needs as a way of showing faith. I want to take that a step further.

    James 2:14-26 what good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? (15) Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. (16) If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical ...read more

    It was a Saturday in mid December of 1977. Joey Cannon and I were having breakfast at the Pancake House in Memphis, TN. We used to meet on Saturday mornings at a prayer breakfast.

    1. It is important to listen to Jesus and obey him. 2. We meet God when we come to the end of our resources. 3. You have to put your net in where the fish are.

    The setting of today’s scripture takes place on the Sea of Tiberias (the Roman name for the Sea of Galilee). The disciples are in a depressed mood because of the horrific events leading to, and culminating in, the death of Jesus. They have gone to Galilee and returned to what they knew best: ...read more
