    Contributed by Steve Moore on Oct 2, 2004
    based on 38 ratings
     | 10,902 views

    This sermon seeks to provide a better understanding as to how God guides His people. It takes an illustration of a hand, with its five fingers, to give a practical insight into the subject.

    INTRODUCTION Today’s talk is entitled How does God guide us? As we consider this subject, I would like to make some assumptions – 1) We assume that God exists. 2) That God wants to guide us. 3) That we want him to guide us. I will assume we all hold a positive response to all of these ...read more

     | 22,682 views

    God takes what you have, who you are, and what you can do, no matter how small it may seem and then multiplies it to create miracles.

    WHAT DO YOU HAVE? Mark 6:34-43 Mark 6:34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. 6:35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and ...read more

    Jesus’ words just take the conventional wisdom and turn it on its head! "Happy are the poor and sad?" But let’s look closer - Is He right? *HANDOUT INCLUDED*

    Mt 5:1 ¶ And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. 2 Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying: 3 ¶ "Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be ...read more

     | 15,371 views

    We make assumptions and form opinions about things every day. From these assumptions we take action and make decisions. But - what if our assumptions are wrong?

    "FALSE ASSUMPTIONS" (Text: Gen. 20:1-18) 10/15/1995 By: Larry L. Schoonover) INTRODUCTION: We all make assumptions and form opinions about things each day - and from these assumptions we take action and make decisions.

    This sermon takes a look at some different qualifications to being God’s friend that were displayed by the Roman Centurian. It also defines what faith is and what it is not.

    It takes seed: Psa 126:6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves (bundles) with him.

    Illustrate: With a timid voice and idolizing eyes, the little boy greeted his father as he returned from work, "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?" Greatly surprised, but giving his boy a glaring look, the father said: " Look, son, not even your mother knows that. Don’t bother me ...read more

    Most Christains try cleaning Fish before they catch Fish. Even Jesus knew there are steps to take when winning the lost. Let’s examine it together!

    Introduction With so few Christians actively sharing their faith, we may never get back to the heart of the mission of the Church. Winning the lost. How it happened I can’t be sure, many are too often preoccupied with cleaning fish rather than catching fish. We want to look good as if that meant ...read more

    There is a big difference between taking a Sabbath and being lazy. Lazyness separates us from our own potential, from the love of others, and from the grace of God.

    Are You a Lazybones? Proverbs 6:6-11 February 20, 2005 Twenty three years ago, I was one of seventeen men and women who stood before the Annual Conference and was ordained into the United Methodist ministry.

    Risk It

    Contributed by Bradford Robinson on Nov 8, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,171 views

    Life is not about playing it safe, nor is the Christian faith. Faith requires that we take risk, just like Peter took a risk stepping out of the boat.

    Many of you might remember the Lethal Weapons movies of a few years back. In these movies there was a good safe cop who did things conservatively, by the book, who wasn’t in to taking unnecessary risks. Then there was the character played by Mel Gibson who was always taking risks. He would jump ...read more

    In our pride, we hesitate to take a donkey as a role model, but the donkey of Palm Sabbath has something to show us. That donkey was literally Christopher--"Christ-bearer."

    Donkey Matthew 21:1-11 3/20/2005 2348 words 1 When they had come near Jerusalem and had reached Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, "Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her; untie them and bring ...read more

    His presence confirms our stability and ensures our continuity. Only in vain can we take a step into the future without His approval and unmistakable presence.

    TODAY IS YESTERDAY’S TOMORROW—7 “As I was with Moses so I will be with you …” Josh. 1: 5. God’s presence is the validity of our continuity. “In Him we live, in Him we move and in Him we have our being.” Acts. 17: 28.

    In the beginning, outside of God, there was nothing and from that, God made everything and still today He takes the nothing of our lives and makes something out of it.

    I was speaking with someone several weeks ago and I was sharing with them the burden and the direction that the Lord has led Renee’ and I in. I told them that we were taking this leap of faith. That we’re going to Hattiesburg and we’re gonna plant a church, under the direction of the Holy Spirit ...read more
