    The beginning of Elisha’s solo ministry provides some insights into the mistakes that many of us make early in our walk with God.

    - vv. 23-25. - This is simply a problem passage.

KEY THOUGHT: God works through imperfect people. - The tendency ...read more

    Turning Whiners Into Winners Series

    Contributed by Rick Duncan on Oct 1, 2002
    based on 66 ratings
     | 11,835 views

    In this message, we’ll learn how simply building a dream team to rebuild something that’s broken isn’t enough; we must anticipate the trainwrecks that can create whining, foster a losing attitude, and derail the rebuilding project.

    I’m going to state the obvious. It’s more fun to win than it is to lose. Winning puts a smile on our faces. But what does it take to win? Quitters never win and winners never quit. Whiners never win and winners never whine. Turning whiners into winners Series: Here’s hope: Rebuilding a ...read more

    Be Cautious About Judging Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,736 views

    When believers criticize each other, it can actually drive people away from the church. Jesus warned about the consequences of criticizing others, and of the need to do some spiritual self-examination before passing judgement.

    This morning we are going to look at the spiritual issue of judging others. The applicable definition for the word “judge” in our main passage means, “to form a judgment or opinion” and to “decide upon critically.”(1) The key word here is “critically,” for when we judge others we are often ...read more

    It’s easy to start a Bible study; to start going back to church, to start a daily prayer time; the thing we must focus on is being faithful.

    Intro: In a church in the Deep South where the preaching style was a “talk back” sort of style. The pastor was getting the congregation exited about their prospective future.

    Why Bad Things Happen To Good People Series

    Contributed by Jeffrey Cox on Jan 13, 2004
    based on 18 ratings
     | 9,423 views

    So why do bad things happen to good people? They don’t; it’s as simple as that. Good things (eternal life) happen only to good people (born-again believers); and bad things (eternal punishment) only happen to bad people (sinners).

    Do we have the right to complain? I. One of the main everyday sins we all commit is addressed in Philippians 2:14 “Do all things without grumbling and complaining.” A. This is based on the assumption that we deserve more than we are getting; that this bad thing shouldn’t be happening to us ...read more
