Sermons on Set Right:

God Is In Control Series

Contributed by Stuart Blount on Jan 4, 2008

Though in captivity Daniel’s story is a clarion call to us to THRIVE in the challenges of our cultural setting, and in so doing draw attention to our sovereign God.

Daniel is an inspiring book that brings both a challenge and hope to all those who recognize that we are living in an environment that is alien to the lives we have been called to. This was Daniel’s experience. The book records the experiences of 4 Hebrew men taken into captivity by an evil ...read more

Bringing Peace... Series

Contributed by Rob Willis on Dec 11, 2006

This is the second message of Advent, but I crafted it in conjunction with a missionary presentation we had at our church using Isaiah 52:7 - this sermon would be helpful in this setting.

When we began the service this morning, we read from Isaiah 52 – on the screen behind me is verse 7 (let’s read it together): How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, the good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns! Today ...read more

Return To Gilgal

Contributed by Scott Nichols on Feb 27, 2011

In Joshua, the children of Israel set up 12 stones at Gilgal to remind them of what God had done. How do we remember the blessings of God?

It is a time of transition. Of uncertainty. Moses is dead. Joshua has stepped into the leadership void; just as a new generation of Israelites are ready to cross over the Jordan to take possession of the land promised to Abraham. God understands the feelings of his people. The anticipation, the ...read more

Time To Celebrate With God

Contributed by Craig Condon on Dec 4, 2015

When Jesus returns the world will be purified so that he can set up his kingdom here on earth. He will begin the purification process by judging the people.

The people celebrated because they had experienced a great revival, much like the revivals and crusades led by people such as ...read more

The Twelve Apostles

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Sep 8, 2013

The analysis of Jesus choosing the twelve apostles as set forth in Luke 6:12-16 will show us that Jesus uses ordinary people to accomplish his purposes.

Scripture Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. He was about thirty years of age when he began his public ministry (Luke 3:23) in 28 AD. His ministry of seeking and saving the lost was primarily a ministry of teaching and healing. As Jesus carried out his itinerant ministry in Israel his ...read more

Victory Over Troubles

Contributed by Marvin Minton on Sep 5, 2007

When the going gets tough will we be tough enough to keep going? The psalmist sets a great example of a "never say die" spirit in the face of tremendous affliction.

Victory Over Troubles Psalm 129:1-8 This song is the tenth in the series of “Songs of Ascent”. It seems written for antiphonal singing; to be sung by two groups or by a leader and choir. The theme is that we can trust the Lord to bring us through persecution. The quality called for is perseverance ...read more

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jul 20, 2024

In this crazy world, where it's rush, rush, rush, the idea of a day set apart for rest and reflection seems almost impossible. But, is it?

What a crazy world we live in today. Do you ever feel like the Rabbit in “Alice in Wonderland”? You know the one, he’s always rushing this way and that looking at his watch and muttering, “I’m late, I’m late”. It seems that every hour of every day is filled to the limit with things that need ...read more
