    Swallowed Up

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Dec 11, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,413 views

    Any time you run from God, you never go “up"; you always go “down.” God sometimes allows us to face frightening circumstances so that we will learn to trust and obey Him. It’s always best to obey the Lord right away - then we won’t be “swallowed up.”

    Opening illustration: Being shocked by electricity can be very dangerous. Just ask professional golf legend Lee Trevino. He was struck by lightning while sitting under a tree during a tournament several years ago. He said, “It bolted my arms and legs out stiff, jerked me off the ...read more

    As we look at the life of Elijah, I think we will see a resemblance of what he went through and what we go through today as we serve our Savior.

    If you've been with us for the past 7 weeks then you know that we took a journey to visit the seven churches that Jesus wrote letters to in the Book of Revelation. We found that those messages still apply to our individual lives and our churches today. Now we're going to change gears for ...read more

     | 10,484 views

    The biblical Deborah could have rightly called herself—judge, prophetess, warrior, minstrel, or faithful follower of God—she chose to call herself a mother.

    The Biblical Deborah Deborah's biblical story is one of the few which featured female abilities and leadership. It is a wonderful example of how God can use any person who wants to be His servant. In fact, He even used people like Jonah who resist God at every turn, and John who argued with the ...read more

    Use your gifts!

    1 Timothy 4:14: “Do not neglect the gift that is in you.” Using our gifts to serve God and serve others is something that goes against our natural desire for popularity, influence, and prominence.

    This message explains spiritual warfare and how it affects each of us. It also shows how we can protect ourselves from it.

The first kind of sermon tells about what will come our way to hurt us, and it teaches what we can do to help prevent that from happening. The second type of sermon tells about what we are doing that might allow something bad to come our ...read more
