    Gideon: From Despondency To Defiance Series

    based on 226 ratings
     | 34,505 views

    Out of weakness Gideon was made strong.

    [I used a sermon by Stuart Briscoe in Nelson’s Annual Preacher’s Sourcebook (2003) as a starting point for this sermon.] Hebrews 11 is often called God’s “HALL OF FAME.” In this chapter we find a character with whom we can identify. His name is GIDEON. Gideon’s name is found in verse 32. A ...read more

    A Baseball Parable

    Contributed by Sam Martin on Aug 15, 2002

     | 16,850 views

    Jesus often spoke in parables. He used common experiences such as fishing and farming in His parables to teach a valuable lesson. Baseball is a very common activity in our culture, so I would like to use it to illustrate the Christian life.

    The Word Became Flesh

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Dec 24, 2024
     | 615 views

    At the beginning of John's gospel John makes many striking claims about Jesus. One is that he was Logos, the word. Another is that he became flesh. Isn't 'the flesh' bad? Why did Jesus take on flesh? And should we do anything?

    At Christmas, Christians think of the fact that Jesus, though he was God, became man. But John expresses things differently. Rather than saying that God became man, John tells us that THE WORD – in Greek, Logos – became FLESH. John starts his gospel by talking about ‘Logos’ – the word. John ...read more

    Getting Through Worry And Anxiety

    Contributed by Ray Ellis on Oct 13, 2008

     | 8,194 views

    Is what the Apostle Paul says in Philippians 4:6 reasonable: “Don’t be anxious about anything…?” When overcome with worry and anxiety we can either let anxiety knock us down like a bowling ball getting a strike or we can work through our anxieties and wo

    Getting Through Worry and Anxiety Philippians 4:4-9 A small boy was struggling over his homework, and finally turned to his father and said, “Oh, what’s the use of going to all this bother of getting an education anyway?” “Son, it’s mighty important,” the father replied. Before you’re too much ...read more

    The Secret Things And The Revealed Things

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Dec 12, 2018
     | 10,878 views

    A sermon for a NEW YEAR, based on a striking text from Dt. 29:29. As we enter a new year, we cannot know the SECRET (unknown) THINGS that the year will bring, but God has REVEALED to us his commandments, his priorities, and how to enter into a relationship with him through Jesus Christ.

    THE SECRET THINGS AND THE REVEALED THINGS—Dt. 29:29 If you could know the future, would you do things differently? ***I was playing basketball with my brother, and I noticed an older guy who seemed to play every day. I asked my brother what he did for a living, and my brother informed me that ...read more

    A Lying Life Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Jan 24, 2025
     | 1,014 views

    Separate yourself from false teachers, because as believers in Christ, you are righteous before God, you are the residence of God, and you have a special relationship with God. So out of reverence for God, let the truth set you free to complete your progress towards holiness.

    A man had a fine canary whose song was unusually beautiful. During the summer, it seemed a shame to keep the bird inside the house all the time. So the owner placed the cage in a nearby tree for the bird to enjoy the sunshine and the fresh air. Many sparrows frequented the tree and were attracted ...read more

    Don`t miss out on God`s riches.

    One day, a long time ago in South Africa, an old man was kneeling, digging in a river bed. He was a gold prospector, and had been for many years. Every now and then he had found a little bit of gold - not enough to make him rich - just enough to provide him with food and drink for a week or two - ...read more

    The Lord Helped Him

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on May 21, 2012
     | 7,377 views

    King Jehosphaphat cried out to God for help and the Lord answered him. We cry out to God in prayer and desire for the Lord to answer our prayers as well.

    I found another wonderful story of life changing prayer this morning. The story is found in two Old Testament passages – I Kings 22:32 and 2 Chronicles 18:31. It is interesting to me that the wording of both passages is almost the same which might indicate they used a common resource. What is ...read more

     | 21,581 views

    Moses and Aaron missed out on God’s best because of the waters at Meribah. Will doubt, frustration, and fear cause us to miss out on God’s best at our Meribah?

    THE WATERS OF MERIBAH By Pastor James May Numbers 20:1-2, "Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.

    Introduction One of the new terms of our day is “virtual reality.” We live in a day and time filled with imaginary stories, characters, and scenes. These transport us into unreality, a world of make believe, even a world of science fiction that catapults us into another world. We go to an IMAX ...read more

    It is about hope. It is about positive expectation. It is about a Creator God who is at work bringing order out of chaos, joy out of pain, character out of conflict

    Forever Hopeful even when things don't go to plan Romans 8: 12-28 - Forever Hopeful Although Paul’s passage is primarily an encouragement to the suffering persecuted church at the time, it should also be an encouragement to today’s church. That includes both the persecuted ...read more

    Handling Jesus Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 4, 2008

     | 4,243 views

    Six groups or individuals think they can "handle" Jesus. Their reactions are similar to ours when we encounter the truth of Jesus Christ. Which group are you in?

    The time for Jesus teaching is over. Now is the time for others to act on the truth that He revealed. Six groups of individuals try to handle Jesus in one way or another. Chapter 18 is about the arrest and trial of Jesus. The time for talking has almost ended, the time for action is here. This is ...read more
