    It's Not What I Wanted

    Contributed by Mark Winter on Nov 24, 2000
    based on 85 ratings
     | 3,972 views

    Nobody wants the gift of adversity under the Christmas tree--but sometimes we get it, anyway. Question is, what do we do when we get it?

    Some of you may be wondering if the preacher is one episode shy of a mini-series by preaching from Job during the Christmas season. What does a suffering man have to do with the season of good cheer? Plenty. There’s a dark side to Christmas that most of us don’t like to admit. I knew a man who ...read more

    The King Revealed: Entering By The Right Gate, Following The True Shepherd Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 170 views

    Every kingdom is defined by its king. His character shapes the culture, his authority determines the boundaries, and his word decides who belongs. In Matthew 7, Jesus is not whispering gentle advice—He is revealing Himself as King. Not a life coach. Not a moral philosopher. The King.

    The King Revealed: Entering by the Right Gate, Following the True Shepherd Introduction: When the King Steps Forward Every kingdom is defined by its king.

    The God Who Saves And The Soul That Waits (Part 4) Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Feb 13, 2026
     | 81 views

    David’s prayer from the middle of disorientation. He is not writing from a throne but from tension — enemies around him, guilt within him, decisions before him. He is a man who needs direction, clarity, and divine intervention.

    TAGLINE: Clarity is born where God’s saving character meets our surrendered waiting. OPENING ILLUSTRATION: A climber once set out to scale a mountain known for its unpredictable fog. The path was narrow, the cliffs steep, and visibility often dropped to just a few feet. Because of this, every ...read more

    Crisis: Dangerous Opportunity

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 14, 2001
    based on 39 ratings
     | 5,379 views

    Jesus precipitated a crisis for others around Him: for Judas, for the disciples, for Peter. Their reactions are like ours -- confused -- but Jesus knows who He is in the midst of the crisis.

    I’m sure that you have heard many times now that the Chinese character that is usually translated by the English word “crisis” is actually made up of two components – one character that means “dangerous” and the other that means “opportunity.” Put “dangerous” and “opportunity” together, and you ...read more

    I used this at new year to remind us of our ever present comforter, as we began this new year. Some very good material dealing with the Holy Spirit.
