    Jewish Exile

    STAYING ALIVE (ISAIAH 54:1-10) Two beggars are sitting on a park bench in Ireland. One is holding a cross and the other a Star of David. Both are holding hats to collect contributions. People walk by, lift their noses at the man with the Star of David and drop money into the hat of the man with the ...read more

    The Attitude Of Gratitude

    Contributed by Don Aldrich Tamayo on Nov 22, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,704 views

    Gratitude is a transformative attitude. In today’s world, it’s easy to focus on what’s missing instead of recognizing the blessings we already have. But what if gratitude could change not just our outlook but our relationship with God?

    Sermon Title: Attitude of Gratitude Text: Luke 17:11-19 Introduction Gratitude is a transformative attitude.

    We Have, They Need: Formula For Life Series

    based on 45 ratings
     | 7,389 views

    First of a series based on the Johannine letters: our response to overwhelming need is first of all a discovery of who we are; then a commitment to maximum effort; and finally a discovery of where our passion lies. This will energize us.

    I invite you today on an imaginary trip. Let’s walk through just one day in a needy world. Just imagine a few hours in a world that asks us for more than we can possibly give: You are awakened early by the phone’s insistent ringing; you hear the voice of a member of your family. He ...read more

    Confronting Mammon

    Contributed by Robert Grey on Nov 4, 2002
    based on 19 ratings
     | 7,653 views

    Mammon is a very powerful force in the world today that ties people into a financial system that prevents the people of God from effectively preaching the Gospel. The story of how Abraham tithed after rescuing Lot gives some important principles.

    Background. Abraham had two brothers, Nahor and Haran. They and their father Terah lived in Ur of the Chaldees. This city, famous for the worship of the Moon God, was located on the banks of the Euphrates near the Persian Gulf, just before the Tigris River enters into it. In Ur, the Stela of ...read more

    The Delight Of Wisdom

     | 14,790 views

    Lady Wisdom explains her sheer delight in being in the presence of Almighty God and witnessing His glory and grandeur. We are encouraged to join her in amazement at God’s ability to construct and sustain the Universe as well as our lives.

    The Delight of Wisdom Proverbs 8:22-31 Throughout our study of Proverbs we have examined the best practical advice for living life that the world has ever known. The broad range of Solomon’s advice to his son is just as relevant, just as applicable today as it was in the day in which these lessons ...read more

    Overrun Or Overwatch Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,966 views

    When Israel went "over the line," God had to pull back his protective "overwatch." We need to be certain that we are depending upon God instead of other answers.

    Students of military tactics will have recognized the two terms in my title for today’s sermon. The first refers to a superior force finding a weak point in the enemy’s defenses and rolling right over and through the enemy without having to stop for a pitched engagement. The aggressor defeats the ...read more

    Mind Your Own Business!

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Oct 11, 2020
     | 6,516 views

    If we decide to get involved in another person's business, chances are we will be told to mind our own business. In some cases we should do that but there are other situations when it's appropriate to not mind our own business.

    "MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!" A few weeks ago, I did a sermon on opinions. My first point was about people who are opinionated. I talked about those who interject themselves into conversations they weren't invited in to offer their unsolicited opinion. When we do things like that, people ...read more

    No matter how weary or uncertain we feel at year’s end, Christ’s presence and strength sustain us and give hope for every day ahead.

    Some of us count the days on the calendar with a sigh. Others count with a smile. Many of us do both. The year has been a quilt of bright patches and frayed threads—birthdays and funerals, milestones and setbacks, answered prayers and unanswered questions. The days have left their marks.

     | 8,792 views

    Basing it on God’s choice of the shepherds as the first audience the birth announcement of Christ, the sermon teaches us that God cares about every detail about us.

    THE SHEPHERDS’ STORY (Luke 2:8-14) "And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. 10 And the angel said to them, “Fear ...read more

    Is it time to flee from the coming destruction? Or should we continue to witness and work for the kingdom?

    "Repent! Repent! For the end of the world is near!" How many of you have heard a sermon on this subject? How many of you have heard a joke on this subject? Every faith tradition has a different way of looking at end-times prophecy. Some ignore it. Some codify it. Some rationalize it. Some obsess ...read more

    We at the First Baptist are thankful for all the good mothers and grandmothers here today.

    Today is Mother’s Day and rather than reciting a bunch of poems, stories and etc. I asked the Lord to give me a special sermon that would help our mothers and grandmothers to make it through life! This church today would not be here if it was not for all the good mothers here and those who have ...read more

    Contributed by Jack Allen on Jun 12, 2001
    based on 8 ratings
     | 3,828 views

    While I do not see much of this directed at the church, too many parents seem to confuse money with love.

    It seems that the church and the family in America mirror each other. We can probably agree that the church and the family should be the places where one finds love. Yet, neither seems to be a very safe place to find love today. Families break apart and church people gossip. Little sense of ...read more
