Sermons on Steps:

Amazed And Afraid

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 27, 2022

When someone is saved, he or she will become "amazed" by how God is working. But when they get to a certain point in their journey, God might require the individual to take a step of faith, at which point he or she will become "afraid."

This morning I wish to speak with you about a common pattern that occurs in many individual relationships with the Lord. The trend that happens over and over, and the one that we will see in our passage of Scripture, is this: An individual will come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and grow ...read more

God’s Grace Will Overcome

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

Grace can assist us in overcoming life’s problems by helping when all else fails. When we’re at the end of our rope, from struggling and trying everything humanly possible and exhausting our own resources, then grace steps in.

No Hill For A Stepper

Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Feb 15, 2020

Problems are always upon us and getting over the little humps is easy. Getting over the larger ones simply means you grow to be bigger than that hill… so-as to just step right over it, rather than struggle to climb it.

Too often, we look on that passage “God never gives you more than you can handle” as though He is putting you through some awful test, or that He is “easing up on the throttle” regarding just how much pressure He is causing you to endure. This writing is to help us see this passage from His ...read more

God Unexpected: The Last Part Of The Gideon Story Series

Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on May 15, 2007
