Sermons on Seeking Revival:

Jabbok A Place Of Total Surrender

Contributed by Gregory Mc Donald on Feb 10, 2010

There is a great spiritual lesson in this because God wants us to seek our safety in complete surrender to His power and love. It is when we reach one hand to Him, while we keep holding on to the things of the world with the other, that we are in danger.

JABBOK A PLACE OF TOTAL SURRENDER GENESIS 32:22 30 Last night I was sitting on my porch, on my new porch swing, and I was watching several birds sitting on the wire that carries the electrical power to my house. They were perched there without a care in the world. But I knew that if I would ...read more

Regarding The Negative And Positive Series

Contributed by Bobby Stults on Jul 15, 2009

A Merciful God Series

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Apr 28, 2008

God doesn’t expect us to be perfect--God knows us better than that. God does encourage us, though, to acknowledge our sin, seek to turn away from our rebelliousness, and received God’s forgiveness.

Psalm 51:1-19 “A Merciful God” INTRODUCTION For decades, the church has focused on sin. Preachers appear to have taken delight in telling the members of their congregation how bad and sinful they were. The theme seemed to be, “If it felt good, then it had to be bad.” Congregational members ...read more

Fitting Jesus Into Your Mold

Contributed by Douglas Bryan on Feb 17, 2003

Too many times peopele, including Christians, fill their lives with all of their wants and desires and then try to fit Jesus into the room that is left. God said to seek first His Kingdom. We should strive to conform to His mold for our lives.

Looking Up To God Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 30, 2013

The temptations and accusations of the world are like a man-eating plant that wraps its legs around our character and seeks to drag us down. God's Word is like the searchlight from a Coast Guard helicopter, coming to rescue us in times of trouble.

Psalm 119 is a celebration of God’s Word and a literary masterpiece. But there is also a story arc in this psalm that we can relate to. The psalmist, quite possibly Ezra, is facing temptation and opposition from the world—in an attempt to keep him from serving Yahweh and obeying His ...read more

Contributed by John Lowe on May 26, 2018

Developing A Personal Walk With God

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Oct 22, 2017

In Moses' frank conversation with God, we learn to pray for those who rebel against God, hunger for the presence of God, long for more of God, and shine with the light of God. As we seek after God, God will reveal more of himself to us.

Exodus 33:12-23 Developing a Personal Walk with God Today’s conversation between Moses and God is pretty gutsy. Moses seems very comfortable with God, even to challenge God: “You don’t go with us, we don’t go!” Moses is praying real prayers here, nothing held back. And what is even more amazing ...read more

Sweet Solitude

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Aug 11, 2015

Nowadays it is getting harder and harder to discern the truth as more and more people are set on re-defining it for us. This twisting of the truth can be all straightened out when we seek the Holy Spirit in our lives and spend time alone with Him.

Message: Last week before I headed out to Sunday morning service I caught a bit of Dr. Charles Stanley’s message on Solitude and I thought what a great subject. So this morning I’m going to give you my take on the same subject but I thank Dr. Stanley for the inspiration. God created a ...read more
