    based on 20 ratings
     | 20,297 views

    Whatever we do will meet us again. We should do our best to lift Christ up.. When we fail to do that we deny him to a world of unbelievers. That denial will haunt us “when the chickens come home to roost.”

    When The Chickens Come Home To Roost A Sermon by Roosevelt Wright, Jr. For the Tabernacle Baptist Church Monroe, La. November 2005 SCRIPTURE: And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny ...read more

     | 3,834 views

    Where then can we turn when our possessions do not satisfy, our politicians fail us, our presents get old, and passions whither into pain? Where can we turn? We can turn only to the God of our salvation.

    Intro They are nearly gone. The leaves, that is. Rich in the green of spring, they are even more stunning in autumn: gold, auburn, red as if on fire. Then follows the falling leaves and the blowing wind. Finally, only the muted-brown pallor of death remains. This death is followed by cold, ...read more

     | 10,265 views

    I’m always amazed of the plan God has for our lives. It also amazes me that when I fail or refuse to follow the plan that instead of pitching us out and starting over he reforms us in the image he sees fit.

    The Potter’s Hand By: Pastor JC Browning Jeremiah 18: 1 – 11 In this world of constant struggle it is often times of trial and temptation when we ask father where are you? Last week I spoke of the temptations we face. This week I’m going to start with a conversation between God and ...read more

     | 7,676 views

    Like everything ordained by God, He intends testing and trials for our good. But Satan twists God’s good tests into temptation. His desire is for us to fail God’s good tests by succumbing to the temptation he brings from them.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,302 views

    Most of us would probably be quick to say that loving and serving God is very important, but often fail to view it as urgent. Paul brings a sense of urgency to our spiritual life in the text today. He wants to jar his readers out of their complacency and

    The Urgency of Godliness Romans 13:8-14 Intro: What comes to mind when you hear the word, “Urgent?” It can be an unpleasant word that is associated with tragedy. Most of us would rather not receive an urgent phone call because it might mean that someone we love is hurt or in trouble. ...read more

     | 5,212 views

    Jesus left us with a great inheritance. An inheritance of God's presence and His fellowship. However, many of us fail to experience that sweet fellowship because we Edge God Out of our lives. How do we do this? What are the consequences?

    EGO: Edging God Out On Good Friday, we examined whether Jesus left us a will, a will bequeathing everything He had to us, which included the awesome presence of God. We established that Jesus actually did exactly that. John 17:24 (NKJV) Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with ...read more

     | 5,569 views

    When things get tough we sometimes wonder whether God is present with us. Bot God is always here and his promises never fail. He will judge those who do wrong in his world. He is constant in his judgements.

    Well let me begin by saying this is a difficult reading.It’s a difficult reading not only because we need to understand something of the complex history between Assyria and Judah and the covenant relationship between God and the people of Israel … but even more fundamentally it’s ...read more

    Do You Have 20/20 Vision?

    Contributed by Chad Taylor on Jan 7, 2014
     | 8,130 views

    Every year we struggle with New Year's Resolutions or goals set that we fail to reach. The church is no different. Does the church have a clear vision for Jesus and the authority of His word? Its time to separate the garbage from the truth in our walk!

    Introduction On September 27, 1991, as was his custom, Gerald Sittser, a professor of religion and philosophy at Whitworth College, prayed, asking God to protect and bless his family. Something went terribly wrong. Later that afternoon, returning from a family outing, a drunk driver lost control ...read more

     | 5,610 views

    There can be no doubt that Paul endured much for the sake of the gospel. From a worldly perspective, one might have thought his efforts had largely failed. However, Paul kept the faith and continued serving the Lord. We should be thankful for his perseverance.

    Hindered but not Hopeless 1 Thessalonians 2: 17-20 What precious and powerful words are recorded for our exhortation in these few verses! These words reveal the very heart and soul of the apostle Paul. He, of all men, knew what it was to face adversity and extreme difficulty in ministry. ...read more

     | 9,896 views

    Peace with yourself, peace with neighbors and peace with the world is what we need to live as Christians. We fail to grow when we live our lives for others and become afraid of losing the affection and approval of those we think are important in our lives

    Imagine a Church with some problems, where some people are fighting to become leaders. Yet, despite their own problems, when they heard that the individual who helped to establish the church was in need, they all come together, contributed money to send to help the individual. The leader wrote back ...read more

     | 17,228 views

    This message looks at Jeremiah's imagery of God as the Potter. If we fail to submit to the Potter and remain in His hands, then the Lord will stop shaping us and let us alone. But when He lets us alone, we are in a very fragile state!

    There is a well-known hymn entitled, “Have Thine Own Way.” The first line of this hymn says, “Have Thine own way, Lord! . . . Thou art the potter, I am the clay! Mold me and make me after Thy will, while I am waiting, yielded and still.”(1) When Adelaide Pollard wrote the words to this hymn she ...read more

     | 1,706 views

    One proof of God’s deep affection for us is the fact that we can run to him in times of trouble, and he willingly protects us. He calms us like a parent who comforts a frightened child. Indeed, God never fails.

     | 2,523 views

    Jude has been exposing the false teachers quite graphically. One was a murderer, one perverted God's people for money, and here is Korah, a man of rebellion. God put him to the test and he failed. This whole account is examined in this message.

    THE REBELLION OF KORAH IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE REBELLIOUS FALSE TEACHERS - Jude 1 v 11(c) In a previous message we looked at Cain and Korah together. This time only Korah is in the spotlight and the account has been expanded. Jude 1 v 11 Woe to them for they have gone the way of Cain, and for pay, ...read more
