    Sometimes Leaving Makes More Sense Than Staying

    Contributed by Ezekiel Ette on Sep 30, 2017
     | 9,488 views

    Indecision and False Hope is not from God, People talk about the good old days as an excuse to stop discovering the new. God has a plan for us even when we do not know the future.

    A few years ago when we first started out fresh from college, we had many dreams. Some wanted to get more education and some talked about making money. Others wanted to live in the big city far away from their parents and some wanted to stay close to parents. Some were not comfortable with change ...read more

    The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 4:8-11 - Message 14 - Do Not Become Wallowing Sows In Bondage – Protect Your Freedom In Christ Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 1, 2024
     | 268 views

    The Galatians had exchanged the bondage of idolatry for the bondage of the Law. False teachers promise freedom but chain their adherents in bonds. Our freedom in Christ must be protected. Do not use your freedom as an excuse to sin.

    THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 4:8-11 - MESSAGE 14 - DO NOT BECOME WALLOWING SOWS IN BONDAGE – PROTECT YOUR FREEDOM IN CHRIST [PART A] Galatians 4:8 However at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods, Galatians 4:9 but now that you have come ...read more

    Witnessing To The Hurting Series

    How do you do "church"? Is it about going to a building and singing songs, praying prayers and listening to a sermon... or is there something more to it than that?

    OPEN: Years ago at summer camp I learned this little song. If you know it sing along with me: Peter and John went to pray. They met a lame man on the way. He held out his palm and asked for an alm, and this is what Peter did say: "Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have give I thee. In ...read more

    What Should A Spirit-Filled Church Do? Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 23, 2013
     | 6,890 views

    We see the power of God healing a human life. We see people who have been touched by the power of God touching others. It’s the story of the lame man who begged by the gate called Beautiful. We see a real example of the power of God to heal.

    Luke has described the early church by saying, “Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles.” (Acts 2:43). In Acts 2 Luke doesn’t give us any indication what those miraculous signs and wonders may have been. But now, when we come ...read more

    Are You Positioned For Revival?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 1, 2020
     | 6,743 views

    The lame man, like many Christians today, didn't get his miracle in the agitated waters, because he didn't position himself close enough to the revival zone. If you want revival, you must get and stay as close as possible to the Holy Spirit.

    ARE YOU POSITIONED FOR REVIVAL? John 5:1-11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A professor gathered the papers after an exam and found a $100 bill attached to one of them with a note saying: "Dear Professor Smith, here’s a $100 bill which you may keep if you give me 100 points - a dollar per ...read more

    The Wedding Banquet: Invitation, Ingratitude, And Indiscretion, Part 2

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 20, 2023
     | 895 views

    The original recipients of the invitation to the banquet (Matthew 22:1-7) refused to attend, giving flimsy excuses that resulted in their destruction (v.7). Who would attend the banquet now? Here is where we see the king's mercy extend to "the least of these".

    The Christian band Sidewalk Prophets wrote a song entitled, "Come to the Table", based on the Parable of the Wedding Banquet (Matthew 22:1-14) and the call of God for everyone regardless of their situation to come to the table and take place in the celebration. The Wedding Banquet is ...read more

    Unintentional

     | 10,570 views

    We like to excuse many of our actions as “only mistakes” and “no big deal”. But God sees things differently as He speaks to us about our unintentional sins.

    Unintentional Numbers 15:17-31 Everyone is familiar with the statement of Steve Urkle, “Did I do that?” after unintentionally creating havoc. We have all heard someone say, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it" or "Forgive me, I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to..." We ...read more

    You Can Say "No" To Temptation Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Dec 30, 2005
    based on 7 ratings
     | 9,007 views

    When we are tempted and fall it is easy to offer excuses or to blame others for our poor actions. James is showing us that there is another way which comes by taking responsibility for our actions and trusting in Jesus for spiritual strength.

    James 1:12-18 You can say “no” to temptation Scripture Readings:- Job 1:6-22 James 1:12-18 Congregation of the Lord, As Christians we are called to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. Sometimes that is not so easy. But, tonight, we are going to focus on an issue that makes us walk exactly in the ...read more

    This sermon examines common quotes from those who do not serve others in contrast to quotes from those who do serve. Everyone has an excuse, but hose who choose to serve are empowered to do so.

    Loving & Serving One Another 5-5-02 Intro: Text: Gal. 5:13 (Ampl) “For you, brethren, were [indeed] called to freedom; only [do not let your] freedom be an incentive to your flesh and an opportunity or excuse [for selfishness] but through love you should serve one another.” 1.

    Crossing The Line Series

    Contributed by David Richardson on Apr 17, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,774 views

    Man is ultimately responsible for any and all of his actions. Nowhere in the Bible will you find a verse that excuses man’s sin. Rather what it does prove is that we have an all-knowing God, an omniscient God.

    Crossing the Line Scripture: Romans 3:5-6 5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) 6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world? 7 Someone might ...read more

     | 6,528 views

    It is God who gifts us with faith, and who equips us for the ministry He has given us. Ignorance is no excuse. If the chief of sinners can be saved, then so can I, and so can you. To God be the glory.

    PAUL’S TESTIMONY. 1 Timothy 1:12-17. Paul is ‘an Apostle of Jesus Christ according to the command of God our Saviour, and of the Lord Jesus Christ our hope’ (1 Timothy 1:1). I. THANKSGIVING.

    The Only Way To Salvation Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 7, 2021
     | 1,826 views

    Paul urges the Jewish legalists to believe the Gospel, highlighting their errors in having a zeal for God but without knowledge of the truth, trusting in their own righteousness and making excuses not to trust Christ for righteousness. Salvation is available to all who believes.

    Paul discusses the problem of Jewish unbelief from Romans 9-11. • He started off in chapter 9 telling us of God’s sovereignty and His purpose in election. • God has not failed when He chose Israel to serve His purpose in salvation, even though many would reject Christ. He would save a ...read more

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Dec 13, 2019
     | 3,477 views

    Why can't God ignore or excuse sin? Sacrifice of atonement (OT background). Righteousness through faith. God is "just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus."

    CROSS PURPOSES 3: Mercy and Justice Crosses are everywhere: Hanging on chains around people’s necks. Tattooed on people’s bodies. Surrounded by artificial flowers along the side of the road, where an accidental death occurred. Lined up in cemeteries, or on grave markers. Towering over churches, ...read more

    God calls us to serve HIM with our entire family. Many give excuse for not able to serve the LORD. Run to God every morning for all your needs. He is readily available for all of us. Amen.

    Text: Joshua 24:14-28 Theme: Serve the Lord with the family Introduction: This is very wonderful passage which contains the farewell speech of great leader Joshua. Very few people prepare themselves as well as the house hold with the farewell speech. Something it is inauspicious to talk about ...read more

    This message is a reminder that to grow spiritually into living a life that imitates Jesus requires three things: Knowledge, Experience and Time. Working together, they will produce Spiritual Maturity in a Christian’s life.

    Good evening everyone. Let’s open with a word of prayer. I want to set the stage by sharing with you something my father used to tell me and my siblings when we did things that didn’t make a lot of sense to him. He would slowing shake his head from left to right and say, “the older you get is ...read more
