Sermons on Short Time:

Even Though Moments That Result In Triumph Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Oct 19, 2021

The truth is life is short, and we fall into way too many potholes along the way. Live life for any length of time and you realize how true that statement is: “life is full of trouble.”

Introduction HOW DO I STRUGGLE WITH THIS? In Job 14:1 I am told “Man who is born of woman Is of few days and full of trouble.” Oh, how I wished that this Scripture could have said: “Man who is born of woman Is of many days and full of triumphs.” But if it did, it would not be reality. The truth is ...read more

Graveside Service

Contributed by Tony Searles on Nov 3, 2007

This is a brief graveside service I prepared for a person I was not familiar with. This is a short and simple, but respectful ceremony. Although it is simple and short, it does have some nice touches.

Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die.” I want to encourage you, as we gather together this afternoon, to remember that God is our refuge and our strength. We are ...read more

God's Guidance: Finding Your Way In Uncertain Times

Contributed by Mark Sanders on Aug 3, 2015

We all face trials and tests in our Christian lives, but it is not the trials and tests that are significant, but how we respond to them. This sermon is an example of how I learned to rely on God more in uncertain times.

Urgency

Contributed by David Spiegel on Mar 6, 2015

The signs of the times are evident. Where is the sense of Urgency that the church should have? Jesus said He is not willing that any should perish, so why are we so comfortable with the idea? Shouldn't we be about the family business of making disciples?

Make no mistake, we have an “urgency emergency”! I wish I could stand here this morning and say, “Everything is alright”. You can just coast through this life and enjoy it as you live to a ripe old age and be gently laid to rest among family and friends as angels carry you ...read more

It Will Come To Pass, Because He Lives.

Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Sep 24, 2014

Those bad times in our life will come to pass too because God is our refuge and strength. He is always there and never misses a moment. I have always wondered just how someone makes it through this life believing some dead god.

It will come to pass, because He lives. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the ...read more
