    Contributed by Tom Shepard on Oct 8, 2011
    based on 18 ratings
     | 14,107 views

    Two main points from the life of Esau: 1. He was more concerned about the here-and-now than he was with the here-after. 2. Godliness comes by choice.

    One Mother – Two Nations Part #1 - Esau “Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, but Jacob was a peaceful man, living in tents.” Genesis 25:27 (NASB) God has always shown blessings to his people – take Rebecca as an example.

    God is not the author of chaos but he can take even our chaos and bring His great cause from it.

    It’s tempting to make one’s business one’s religion. God delivered businesswoman Lydia from bondage, and can deliver us as well.

    Conversions in the Book of Acts> “Rescued from Idolatry” Acts 16:11-15 Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts Though most of my life I’ve served in the military, in the past four years I’ve been involved with the Saugus Rotary and Business Networking ...read more

    The Resurrection: The King Is Alive Series

     | 6,917 views

    You ask me what is the most important feature or belief of the Christian faith, and I will say without a doubt, it is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Disprove it, and the entire belief system disintegrates.

    The Resurrection Mark 16:1-7 The King is Alive John 3:16: “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever will believe in Him will not perish, but have everlasting and eternal life.” 1 Peter 3:18: “For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the ...read more

    The Sovereignty Of God Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 8, 2015
     | 9,359 views

    God’s the infinite Ruler of all; He is “running the show.” Nothing can prevent His predetermined plan. Nothing takes Him by surprise. Those who see God’s hand in everything can best leave everything in God’s hand.

    It’s been said, “How do you make God laugh? Tell Him your plans” (G.K. Chesterton). Our plans aren’t always in line with God’s. We may try to fight God’s will, but someone pointed out, “Your arms are too short to box with God” (J. W. Johnson). The ...read more

    God is the Master at making things right. Trust God for His justice in this situation and don't mess things up by sticking your hands in it.

    Step Down From the Bench! Text: Romans 12: 18-20 Have you ever been summoned for jury duty? You meet in a jury assembly room. While there, you are placed on a panel of jurors. From the assembly room, you are taken to a courtroom. You are seated in the courtroom waiting for the judge to enter. ...read more

    Getting Free From Unforgiveness

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 25, 2025
     | 73 views

    Forgiveness cancels hidden debts, breaks Satan’s claim, restores compassion, and lets God’s grace and healing flood every relationship and heart.

    Introduction I’m delighted this morning to share what the Lord has been teaching me. The Lord often teaches me through what He’s doing in my own life—and that, I’ve found, is the best way to learn. Let’s begin with the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6. Jesus taught us to pray, “Forgive us our debts, as ...read more

    Many people one way or the other found themselves in debt today and they need a way out, the one that can liberate us and take us out of that debt is God

    The aim of this lesson is to let you know that it is not the will of God for you to be in debt, many people one way or the other found themselves in debt today and they need a way out, the one that can liberate us and take us out of that debt is God, he wants His children to enjoy this prosperity ...read more

    Finding Rest In God Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 29, 2005
    based on 14 ratings
     | 25,403 views

    We run around in our lives looking for peace and rest - but when we see the promise of rest that God promises in Jesus sometimes we hesitate to "seal the deal." Let Him give you rest for your soul!

    "I’d love to rest - if I only wasn’t so busy." That’s a statement a lot of us could make. Our society is one of constant motion and activity - if we aren’t always doing something we feel useless and worthless. This can invade our spiritual lives as well. We feel like if we aren’t always "on" and ...read more

    Their “works of faith and labor of love” expressed itself in their sharing of the Gospel with others. They were both “receivers” (the Word came to them) and “transmitters” (the Word went out from them.

    Someone who walks, lives, prays, and devotes themselves to God … will NEVER be shaken because their refuge is in Him! We have to turn to God for everything we need, even in the worst times of our life.

    A Sturdy Faith?

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 12, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,999 views

    We put too much faith in our ability to ‘get up enough faith’ (whatever that may mean), rather than placing our trust in the Lord. Do you see the difference? One focuses on US, the other on HIM.

    A STURDY FAITH? Psalm 125. Sometimes we speak of a person’s great faith, or their unwavering trust in the Lord, as if this was not attainable by any and each and all of us. ‘Oh,’ we say, ‘he has such faith’. Or, ‘she trusts so entirely upon the LORD’. But Jesus, whilst He gently rebukes His ...read more

     | 78 views

    God relentlessly pursues us with grace, even when we run or resist, inviting us to trust His presence and respond to His call.

    Some of us know the sound of God’s whisper as well as we know our own name. It comes in the quiet of a morning commute, in the nudge you can’t shake, in the Scripture that lands like a letter with your address on it. And some of us know the sound of our feet when they’re running in the opposite ...read more

    Even in this modern age it is impossible to hide from God.

    "YOU CAN NOT..." Isa. 55:6-11 INTRO. There was one thing for certain that I knew when I was a child. That was that when I had been caught in a misdeed and Mom or Dad came at me with the switch or belt, I had better not run.
