    Running Water

    Contributed by Paul Pattison on May 11, 2006
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,072 views

    Is your walk with Christ charaterized by a steady flow of life and fruitfulness, or by an occassional refilling that soon grows stagnant? Where there’s movement, there’s life.

    Running Water Leviticus 15:1-13 (KJV) The essence of Leviticus is God teaching His people how to live again. They had lived in bondage for most of the 430 years they were in Egypt and, as you can appreciate, they had lost all sense of perspective as to who they ...read more

    There's starvation many places, but one place where there shouldn't be, is the people of God. God's made abundant provision for our vitality, but to absorb His life, we must "abide" in the True Vine, Jesus Christ. Read of the meaning & rewards of abiding.

    THE SECRET POWER OF ABIDING John 15:1-7 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A man was speeding down a Texas highway, feeling secure in a column of cars all traveling at the same speed. However, as they passed a speed trap, he got nailed with an infrared speed detector and was pulled over. 2. When the ...read more

    God opposes the proud.

    Narrowing Down Focus. Last week we talked about the fact that “Hidden Sin Hinders Revival” and learned that unconfessed and unrepentant sin in our lives as Christians can, will and does prevent revival from coming upon us because revival is the work of the Holy Spirit in us and active ...read more

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 10 – A Defeated Nation Mocked And Hissed At – God’s Word Never Returns Empty - Chapter 2:15-17 Series

    The enemy mocking and hissing at a defeated and downtrodden people was the delight of passers-by, but persecuted Christians suffer that today increasingly. It’s an ugly world when sin is in control. Wickedness these days is galloping. Do not oppose the Jew or Israel.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 10 – A DEFEATED NATION MOCKED AND HISSED AT – GOD’S WORD NEVER RETURNS EMPTY - CHAPTER 2:15-17 Jeremiah is sometimes called “the weeping prophet,” and I like to think of him as one of the most passionate writers in the Old Testament, in fact, in all of scripture. ...read more

    I like the idea of a father who would allow his son to tackle something difficult on his own, but who at the same would make sure to be there if he were needed.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK TEXT: 1 Peter 3:12; Psalm 139:1-14 ILL. A little boy living up north was looking forward eagerly to the birthday party of his friend who lived only ...read more

     | 13,650 views

    Among all the conquering heroes of Hebrews 11, God introduces us to those who suffered, struggled and died for their faith. Why would God tell us the stories of those who didn't "succeed"?

    OPEN: I love a good action movie - the kind they used to make. Movies where good overcomes evil; the boy gets the girl; righteousness triumphs and the hero rides off into the sunset. Those are “feel good” movies because everything works out the way it should. One website talked about the movies ...read more

    What’s It All About? 1 Of 2

     | 1,710 views

    The Book of Ecclesiastes is one book in the Old Testament that is seldom preached from.

    But it is a book in the Bible that tells us how we can find the answer to the question, “WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?” Very few ever come up with the right answer. Illus: A test was given to 200 men applying for the same job but only 1 out of 200 came up with the right solution. Each applicant was ...read more

    Living Water

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 18, 2019
     | 4,993 views

    This message is about the importance of living water. The western mind struggles to comprehend how important this was to the woman at the well. As is today spiritually we struggle to truly connect to this analogy.

    Note: I did read a few articles on the waters of the Middle East in Jesus' day. So this is a combination of different sources. Title: Living Water Theme: To show the need for more in a persons life and how to share our faith. Text: John 4:1 - 26 Therefore, when the Lord knew that the ...read more

    This is a comparison of Jesus as the Good Shepherd to that of a good shepherd in Old Testament times.

    The Good Shepherd John 10:1-19 1 "I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2 The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. 3 The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to ...read more

    The Leader¡¦s Philosophy (I’m Born for Success) Is. 40:1-5 The responsibility of leadership is often viewed as difficult. It is common to hear leaders complain about how difficult their job is.
