    Unwavering Faith

    Contributed by Mark Lindsey on Apr 30, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,432 views

    How do we take faith to a different level? Moving faith from simply trusting the unknown to faith as trusting God to provide? Faith is not believing something will happen; faith is believing what God said will happen.

    “UNWAVERING FAITH” 1 KINGS 17:8-16 Faith is part of everyday living. When you are ill, you go to a doctor whose name you cannot pronounce. He gives you a prescription you cannot read. You take it to a pharmacist you have never seen. He gives you medication you do not understand. Yet, you take it. ...read more

    What happens when Nineveh doesn’t fall? What happens when God does something I don’t like? What happens when my theology doesn’t sit comfortably with God’s Word? What happens when he shows me that my priorities may be religious, but they’re not his?

    Introduction Many have been rejoicing that former Serbian leader Radovan Karadzic has at last been arrested and brought to trial. Accused of terrible war crimes, of genocide at Srebrenitsa, of more. If convicted of these crimes, is prison a strong enough sentence for this man? Many long for ...read more

    The Gospel. Part 3: What Happens If We Accept Jesus?

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Nov 15, 2020
     | 2,632 views

    When we accept Jesus we ARE a new creation and the old passes away. There is new birth and death. But we shouldn't imagine for a moment that the job is done. Just as a new baby needs nurturing, our new spiritual selves need nurturing. And our old selves need to be shown the door.

    The Gospel, Part 3 We have now reached the third of our four talks in our series ‘the gospel.’ Part 1: The problem Part 2: The solution Part 3: What changes if we accept Jesus? Part 4: What happens if we reject Jesus? [Slide of Adam and Eve] In part 1 of this series on ‘the gospel’ we first ...read more

    Tuesday of Easter Week 2019 In Monday of Holy Week, the Divine Office gives us a snippet from one of St. Augustine’s sermons. He asks, “Why does our human frailty hesitate to believe that mankind will one day live with God?” Christ gave us the gift of His own death, so why would He not in love ...read more

    Following Jesus: But What Happens When I Blow It? Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 21, 2022
     | 1,915 views

    Even a saint like Peter "blew it" when he denied he knew Jesus. Eventually he was restored to a place of service for the Lord. What happens, or what should I do, when I blow it?

    Note: (Edited from a sermon preached in August 2022 at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO) Introduction: One reality few of us as believers want to admit is that first, we were born sinners. Paul wrote “All have sinned and come short of God’s Glory (Romans 3:23, paraphrased)” and none of us would ...read more

    What To Do When Bad Things Happen To God's People

    based on 19 ratings
     | 16,724 views

    God's people often ask "Why has this happened to me?" However, God is not so much interested in why as "what." In this fallen world we cannot prevent bad things from happening. What we do in response to them is another question.

    WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOD’S PEOPLE? Acts 16:25-34 25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the ...read more

     | 759 views

    Many presume that everything that happens is God's will. That's not true. What does it look like to pray that God's will would start to be done here on earth as it is done in heaven?

    WHY PRAY THIS? This is a prayer because it isn’t happening much now. - Matthew 6:10. - So in this fourth part of the sermon, Jesus calls us to pray for God’s will to be done. - But, wait, isn’t that already happening all the time? We hear people constantly speak that whatever happened was God’s ...read more

    Elijah is an amazing example of what happens when believers pray with authority, when they come to God and ask him to do something that glorifies him.

The Bible is full of stories of God’s people and their struggle with spiritual battles. Often they thought that God had abandoned them, when in reality he was always with ...read more
